| My girlfriend and I found the rock Junket tour to be surely worthwile and a good way to spend a couple hours on a Sauturday morning. Our guide was good -natured, well-prepared, and entertaining. We appreciated that in addition to the music related sites, he also had plenty to offer on history and background about the East Village in general. And having some vintage pictures and album covers to flesh out the tour sites was a welcome addition. Give it a go ---- there are plenty of worse ways to use a couple hours. |

| I'm not a fan of tourist traps, preferring always to seek out the 'realness' of a new place.
I thouroughly enjoyed my tour. It was very informative, while still being relaxed and casual. I think my experience was enhanced more by the fact I had not ventured into that particular part of town.
I showed me the New York I wanted to see - the rock history.
Great! |

| I found the Tour Guide, Bobby Pin, to be extremely knowledgeable about the NYC music scene above and beyond the landmarks visited and bands and scenes included in the tour. Also, the vintage props and photos added so much to understand the changes that have occurred since the time.
This is a great tour for those who's life depended on the music that came from that era and area, and also for those who liked just a few songs here and there.
I would highly recommend this tour! Thanks, Bobby! |

| This was a last minute decision for a group of lads looking for something to do whilst our ladies did the sex in the city tour. We went into it with no expectation and loved every minute of it. The tour was interesting, informative & fun. The guide really held your interest at all times as well. It was great receiveuing a detailed insght into NYC's rich rocknroll heritage! |

| Wow, this tour was great. Bobby is such an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide, that we could have spent all day listening to him. We took this trip on the last day of our stay in New York and now are determined to go back and explore the East Village some more - it's such a cool place.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone into their punk and rock music - we learnt so much and had a great time. |

| A great little tour that ties together many influential bands through the East Village streets. A remarkable amount of history in such a small area. Bobby is relaxed and informative guide and clearly loves the music he is talking about. Highly recommended for anyone interested in The Stooges, The Velvet Underground and The Ramones. |

| The rock junket tour covered the history of rock in New York City in a surprisingly concise and amusing manner. I saw not just the obvious places like CBGB and Joey Ramone Place but also less-known places that would be difficult to find out about without expert help. The tour also covered a wider array of musical genres than I expected, ranging from punk and glam to pop and jazz. |

| i would highly recommend the rock n puck tour to anyone that is even slightly interested in the wonderful scene that unfolded in the late 60's, 70's and so forth. our tour guide johnny pinn was a walking plethora of information, some of which he himself witnessed. he took us to all of the key elements in the punk/rock music genre. definelty worth the money and the time. thanks to everyone involved. |
