| More or less lived up to what I thought it would be, but would have liked a little Johnny Thunders info thrown in. If you've read "Please Kill Me " your one step ahead already. Cute tour guide provided some additional eye candy. Covered a wider time frame than I had expected - interested me at 25 and my mother at 48. If you've never done the LES thing before it's a good primer and if you haven't been in a while it's a good refresher course. DO NOT WEAR HEELS!!!!! Bust out the Chucks or creepers for this one. Gets an overall 8.0. |

| This tour is a must-do for any fan of the Ramones, Dolls, Iggy or Clash. Many punk landmarks and stories included, as well as history of the East Village and recent gentrification, etc. I was happy just to see Joey Ramone's building, but this tour included SO much more! Don't miss it!

| Bobby was very friendly and offered a lot of information on the old haunts of the East Village where rockers and artists alike spent their nights. He was always open to answering questions and was knowledgable and funny. Lots of fun if you want to get insight into the crazy times of old, before all the legendary places closed and Kmart and Starbucks moved in! |

| Did the Rock Junket walking tour and enjoyed very much. New York has such a rich history for Rock n Roll that something like this is deserved. The tour was informative, funny and insightful. I thought the guide had information that was not so readily avaliable and going to the actual sights made it that much more enjoyable. He also covered a few different era's of rock and so it provided enough interest for everyone. I would do it again. |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. "Bobby Pinn" was very knowledgeable about the subject and the area. We would recommend this tour to anyone interested in rock history, especially as it pertains to the New York area. |

| a wonderful 2h trip into the heart of the East Village and his musical history. If you want to learn more and see where the Ramones began, where Warhol and his factory held partys, what kind of building inspired Zeppelin for "you know which cover album" I'm talking about...well you will learn a whole bunch of stuff with the help of those amazing guides who will make those streets talking musicaly to you.
Fantastic walking tour
Thank you again... |

| Great tour by Bobby Pin. This was an excellent way to see rock n roll New York. Bobby knew what he was talking about and his recommendations for places to shop, eat, and drink were great!

My wife and I enjoyed this walk very much. We live in the area and are very interested in Rock n Roll and it's history in our neighborhood. We learned alot about various rock stars past homes and were variuos concert hall and clubs were located.
As a big Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin fan, I enjoyed hearing the sites that were used for alubum covers and video shoots. The tour guide was excellent and very knowledeable on this topic. He even threw in some history on other sites in the parks along the way.
We enjoyed ourselves very much !! |

| Well not really.. unless you can count walking up to him in a bar..
It was fascinating walking around the neighborhood and actually seeing places I had only ever read about or knew only from song lyrics and videos. Our guide did a great job of filling in the history, 20 to 30 years may have passed but the pictures painted were good enough to wipe most of those years away.
I’ll probably take the tour again the next time I get to New York.
