| Book a tour with Pinn!! He rules!! Pinn knows all the stories of the old days. GG Alin, Ramones, Velvet Underground just to name a few. It's a 2 hour tour around the Rock & Roll streets of New York. It starts at the Contintal and ends at the old CBGB's. Pinns got pictures of the old day's, fills you in with details on record sleeves etc. etc. etc!!! Don't forget to take a picture of the Joe Strummer mural!!! |

| A fantastic tour with an extremely knowledgable and friendly guide, Bobby Pinn. Would recommend doing this tour early on in your trip as we did it a bit later and found out a lot of information about places we had been walking past for days! Very interesting and informative with lots of facts and picture opoorunities covering all the greats of Rock'n'Roll and even some jazz! |

| A very enjoyable and informative tour. Bobby Pinn is a fantastic guide, an enthusiast who knows his subject and delivers the goods with humour and insight. If you're a punk / glam rock fan this tour is for you, but anyone interested in the NY music scene over the last 40 years will get a lot out of this tour. Sure, you could Google all this stuff - but you won't be standing on the spot, with Bobby telling you his stories about the people who lived and played around the area. Unbeatable!

| Great Guide And A Good Tour! You See A Lot Of Historical Places And You Get A Lot Of Information. If You Have A Little Imagination You Can Take Your Brain Back In Those Days And You Can See The Ramones, Iggy Pop Or Television Walkin' The Streets And Performin' Their Gigs! |

| I would fully recommend the East Village Rock n Punk Tour if your interested in seeing tthe venues and hearing all about the music and people who lived in the East village, it was superb !
Our guide Bobby Pinn was very friendly and so knowledgable we were taken to CBGB's and The Fillmore East, Joey Ramone's NYC pad, St. Marks Hotel, Iggy Pop's former residence, Andy Warhol's Electric Circus, Madonna's first NYC apartment and many more...
He took time to explain the history and show us the places these artistes hanged out in including the famouse CBGB club he has loads of album covers and posters showing the stuff from the venues.
He gave us a leaflet at the end with lots of information and good places to eat and drink in the area.
I would say dont miss this !!!! |

| This tour was very well done. The tour guide, Bobby Pin, was likeable and interesting, easy to understand. He really knew his stuff. He had lots of visual aids, photos and album covers, which added a lot to the tour. Any big Rock fan of the 70s punk scene would love this, great way to spend 2 hours. |

| The tour guide was excellent - really brought alive the various sights and told us the history, hardly any of which I had heard before. Highly recommended. |
