My first tour ever
Sat, Oct 10  11:00 AM nchobanian Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Family With Children
I brought my 13 year old son with me and we both had a blast. Bobby Pinn was knowledgable and really seemed like a fan of the music, which made it even better, it wasn't just some rehashing of punk history by someone who could care less. Bobby also took some great photos of my son and I which was a plus and one picture of us in front of the great Joe Strummer mural, Bobby said "fridge magnet" and indeed it is! Ha! Thanks!

Perfect for Glam Rock art & music fans

If you only like current music or mainstream rock you prob won't get much out of it because many of the stories & sites will be about people you've never heard of. But for people who grew up & really know about Warhol, the Ramones, CBGB's, Iggy Pop, etc this tour is fabulous. :)

Fun time for rock and roll fans

My teenage son and I enjoyed the Rock Junket tour through the East Village. We were the only ones on the tour so we were able to ask lots of questions. Our guide was knowledgeable, organized and well prepared with photos, album covers and trivia questions and kept the tour moving along. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in NYC's rock history . I would consider going on the Bob Dylan tour the next time I'm in the city. The guide gave us a brochure of some favorite spots to visit after the tour and we had a lot of fun at Generation Records.

if you've got a list of 'things to do in New York' put this tour at the top, Bobby gives a fantastic insight into the musical heritage of New York and the East Village, if you love music you will love this tour, and you must go for a pint with Bobby afterwards...

see the sights before they disappear
Sat, Jul 22, 06   11:00 AM Blitzy Female Under 20 Unspecified Other
It was wonderful to see these places that were once the pinnacles of the NYC music scene. The tour guide offered humorous and insightful stories about the musicians that played at these clubs. Due to the gentrification of the area the majority of the sites on the tour are now closed turned into noodle shops but it was awesome to hear about what some seemingly unimportant buildings were...once upon a time, long ago and far away.

Very pleasant, enjoyable & informative
Sat, Jun 10, 06   11:00 AM doc6464 Male 40-49 Unspecified Unspecified
This is a great way to learn a little about the East Village while taking in some cool sights. It is a must tour for any New York Dolls or Ramones fan or anyone who has an interest in music history. Next time you are in New York, skip the silly bus tours and choose the Rock N Roll Walking Tour, you will be happy you did.

Pretty Good Stuff
Sat, Jul 9, 05   11:00 AM parkg80 Female 20-29 Unspecified Group of Friends
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.

Rocking good time for all
Fri, Aug 14  1:00 PM miss1970 Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
This tour is a rocking good time for all - whether you are a novice or an expert on the East Village rock scene (or somewhere in between, like me). Bobby Pin is excited about the places and music he loves and it shows. I liked that he pulled worn torn vinyl out of his bag now and then to describe what he was talking about. He's quite professional yet obviously a rocker. He turned us on to some cool bars too! After the tour my group hit happy hour at Manitobas and had a blast. Thanks!

Great, Fun Tour
Fri, Jan 2  1:00 PM treece Male 30-39 Local Group of Friends
Had a friend in town and decided to do somehting different. Found this on the Village Voice website & it sounded like fun. Glad we did it. Although we probably should have done it on a warmer day, but everything was great all the same. I highly recommend it. Even for you locals. You have no idea how many times you walk by someplace & are unaware of its history.

Great gift

I took my brother on the tour as a gift for Christmas. It was a great gift and I learned a great deal about the history of music in the East Village. My only complaint was the weather was cold, certainly not the fault of the tour guide who did a great job.

Bobby Pinn is a true Rock N Roll Historian!
Sat, Aug 23, 08   11:00 AM AVYBETH Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
As a native New Yorker and Rock N Roll lover I thought I knew everything there was to know about Rock n Roll history til I took this tour with Bobby Pinn. This guy is amazing!

Interesting stories of the punk era
Thu, Jul 17, 08   1:00 PM monaco90 Female 30-39 Local Family Without Children
The tour guide was fun and informative. He had lots of stories and entertained stories from individuals who had first hand knowledge we bumped into on the way. I'd recommend adding current clubs to the tour such as those on the brochure handed to us at the end.
