excellent tour
Sat, Aug 14  11:00 AM dresbach Female 40-49 Local Other
everything from booking the tour to the tour itself was great - the agents at zerve were very helpful (especially with my email problems and having to redirect my confirmation to a different address after 3 very patient attempts) our tour guide larry was the best! he was very knowledgable and presented the info in a fun and enthusiastic manner - he was also very social and personable (so much so that after the tour we stopped for drinks) i would definitely recommend this tour group to others - i will also look into other tours this company offers for myself

GO!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT - NYC MUST DO
Sat, Jul 24  11:00 AM Kerry11 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
Had a great time on the East Village Rock and Punk Tour - the East Village is a beautiful area of NYC. This tour provides a lot of insight into not only the Rock and Punk history, but also a great overview of the area - I went with my 16 year old son on one of the hottest days in NYC record - our guide was a good friend of tour operator Bobby Pinn - his name was BTA or Billy the Artist - he is a larger than life character with an impressive artistic talent - my son Googled him after the tour and is in awe of his work (I'm a fan too!) I would highly recommend this tour to any Rock or Punk fan, or even to those who would like to get to know the Village - not only was there lots of music history but there was plenty of info on great restaurants, galleries, shopping and also great bar info - must go to the Continental for 5 shots for $10!!!! Thanks Bobby for organising an AMAZING tour - can't wait to explore the West Village on my next visit!!!

A little slice of punk rock culture
Sat, Jul 24  11:00 AM Vanessa1969 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
A great way to see a very cool area of NYC. On this tour, you are given interesting tidbits of information regarding the punk rock/music scene of the 70's and 80's. He is a great tour guide, keeps things interesting and moves along a good pace. Well worth the price of the tour.

This tour is a must for any Ramones/New York Punk Rock fan. The guide was fantastic, and included all the places that you've read about along with tales from the front. You will not be disappointed.

fun, interesting, worthwhile
Sat, Jul 24  11:00 AM Darrach Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Our guide (BTA) lives in the neighborhood and had great antecdotes to share. It was a great way to get an overview of the neighborhood along with seeing landmarks of some great icons that lived in the area. After the tour, we felt comfortable heading out on our own to some of the shops and restaurants we had just seen.

Great day out
Sat, Jun 26  11:00 AM sallyhirst Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had reservations that our teenagers wouldnt like the tour but in fact they loved it. Bobby had such great stories and made history seem alive. All in all we had a great morning roaming the streets with him.

Rock n Punk Tour
Fri, Jun 18  1:00 PM ksemenk Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
Our tour guide was enthusiastic, laid back, friendly and very informative (even about music other than rock and punk). My musically inclined cousin and I were giggling with delight as we saw and heard about some of the musically historical sites in the Lower East Side. So cool.

Rock n Roll!
Thu, Jun 17  1:00 PM Ltirre67 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We were a group of 4 NYC music enthusiasts that went on this tour with Bobby Pinn. We had a great afternoon and Bobby pointed out so many places that we knew about but wouldn't have found without his help. Bobby lead us round the streets of East Village and each stop point was peppered with a tale or two. If you love rock n roll music, you'll love this!

Fab, fun & funny
Thu, Jun 10  1:00 PM Costessi Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
What Bobby Pinn doesn't know about the rock & punk scene in New York isn't worth knowing. He was an absolute font of knowledge and really made the music and artistic history of the East Village come alive for us. And yes, the egg creams from Gem Spa are fantastic and VERY addictive - will definitely be making these back home in Australia! An entertaining and enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours and well worth the cost - highly recommended!

a MUST SEE tour for any rock n roll enthusiast!
Fri, Apr 30  1:00 PM mistyjaymes Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
i was looking for something special to do for my fiance's birthday (he's a musician and photographer) and stumbled across the rock junket website. after reading the reviews and bobby pinn's biography, i booked the tour and also booked a night at the chelsea hotel to capture the whole rock and roll feeling. it was everything and more that i had hoped it would be. while my fiance is the rock n roll enthusiast, i was equally intrigued with the tour. bobby's knowledge and delivery of the landmarks, events, and bands was awesome. the tour was two hours, but we could have hung out with him all afternoon. he has a personality that draws you in and makes you feel like you're old friends; and his stories about the bands, venues and events are so detailed that you feel like you were a part of it all. i highly recommend these tours to anyone interested in the history of rock and roll. thanks again, bobby!

Hey! Ho! Let's Go! Great tour...
Fri, Apr 30  1:00 PM Lramones Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I highly recommend this tour. It far exceeded my expectations. I figured that with a lot of the old buildings turned into something else (for example, the Fillmore is now a bank) how interesting could this be? But Bobby Pinn is so informative and engaging that you're transported back to a time when the Allman Brothers were rockin the house, when Andy Warhol ran a crazy psychedelic club, when the Ramones ruled the neighborhood. If you're a rock and/or punk fan, then Gabba hey - this tour's for you.

A GREAT NYC-EXPERIENCE – ROCK JUNKET TOUR
Tue, Apr 27  12:30 PM goodword Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Other
Rock Junket arranged a fantastic customized tour for us, presenting the sites and events of Andy Warhol, Velvet Underground and the related art and rock-crowd . The tour definitely took our experience of NYC to a higher, mind blowing level! Mr Rock Junket himself – the brilliant Bobby Pinn – combines the finest qualities as a guide and host: an in-depth knowledge, a superb presentation of interesting facts and a fantastic way of making the most out of his truly well-composed trail for the tour. Everything presented with a rock´n roll attitude so nice that anyone and everyone would enjoy hanging out with him. The Rock Junket tour also proved to be a perfect and unique opportunity for us to get to know parts and aspects of NYC which we never would have had a chance to find or enjoy on our own. No doubt that Bobby Pinn is the ultimate source of NYC-rock history but his knowledge of the city from a broader perspective is as profound. Just keep your ears and eyes open and you will learn more than you ever expected. If you have a special area of interest, like we had, we recommend that you give Pinn a hint and he will plan a fabulous customized tour for you. Also don´t forget to buy his guide book – highly recommended. Rock on! /Annika (Communication officer, Liljevalchs konsthall) and Marcus (Art Director, AGoodId), Stockholm, Sweden PS. If we ever get our hands on a shiny medal we will for sure award Bobby Pinn for “Outstandning Efforts of Life Support for Rock History”
