Nice to learn some local history.
Sat, Mar 11, 06   11:00 AM scooterlev Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
It was really interesting to learn the history behind some of my old favorite haunts. The first half of the tour was concentrated around the St. Mark's area, with historic details about places that I go to all the time. The second half was in and around alphabet city, and included lots of info about album covers, former artists' residences and so on. The guide, Bobby Pinn, seemed to have endless knowledge of the music world from an insider's perspective, and as a result the tour was geared more toward authentically local hot-spots as opposed to the typical tourist attractions.

A Fantastic Tour
Sat, Mar 4, 06   11:00 AM cheryl2476 Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Other
We both really enjoyed the tour and it was one of the highlights of our visit to New York. Bobby was very knowlegable and the tour was very interesting. This tour is a must if you are interested in The Ramones, Andy Warhol, Iggy Pop, The Clash etc. It was great to see where these people lived, hung out and filmed music videos. The tour ends at CBGBs and you get a chance to go inside, have a drink in the gallery and a look round CBGBs which is the perfect end to a great tour. Bobby really knows his stuff and gives you information you don't get from books. It was a fantastic day out and I would definitely take the tour again if back in New York.

A must for all you Ramones fans!!
Sat, Jan 21, 06   11:00 AM RONNIEP Unspecified 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We've just arrived back in Scotland from our vacation in New York and I have to say that the Rock Junket Tour was our personal highlight. For all you music fans and in particular fans who are interested in where punk originated from it was quite fascinating. My partner and I are both massive Ramones fans and it was fantastic to see where they lived & hung out etc. We didn't even realise Joey had a street named after him! It was great to see CBGB's as we had read and heard so much about it from books etc. So, to actually be there, standing outside it was something else. There were many interesting artefacts on the tour, things which we found particularly interesting were Iggy Pop's flat and where he walked his dog, the Joe Strummer mural, the Continental where all the bands played and Joey had his birthday parties, where Madonna lived before she became famous and of course all the Ramones stuff. May I also say that the guy who takes the tour, Bobby Pinn, is a really knowledgable person who certainly knows his stuff when it comes to the New York music scene. He's a really cool guy too and very friendly. So Bobby, if you ever read this and decide to carry out your dream to play golf on the Old Course at St. Andrews, Scotland, you can drop us an email and we'll catch up with you for a beer!!

Highlight of our visit
Sat, Nov 5, 05   11:00 AM lgkelly09 Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Other
My 18 year old daughter and I did all the "touristy" things in New York but this tour was definitely the highlight of our visit. Really interesting and definitely something for everyone into music, young and old. The leaflet given to us after the tour was extremely helpful as well and we visited a couple of the recommended eating places and bought some CDs (with the discount voucher). We had a great time !

A REAL GOOD TOUR
Sat, Nov 5, 05   11:00 AM CHICKEYT Male 30-39 Local Individual
I enjoyed this tour a great deal & recommend it to others. The tour guide did an outstanding job of mixing knowledgeable with humor, and he's very approachable. It was also good that I planned this tour on a nice day, which made the walk more enjoyable. I also like the summary of the tour that was handed out at the end, as well as the fact that the cell. # was listed on the ticket, as I was running a few minutes late & I would've missed the tour had it not been for that.. Overall, all went well & i had a real good time.

I can really recommend this tour. The guide Bobby knows the subject. He can also told you things you can't read from the books. So if you are interested about rock & roll and New York City this tour is MUST.

I knew Stiv ... In the day..
Sat, Oct 8, 05   11:00 AM ajames54 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
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.

Lower East Side Rock Walk!!
Sat, Oct 8, 05   11:00 AM JoeVarley Male 40-49 Local Family Without Children
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 !!

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!

A must for all music lovers !
Sat, Oct 1, 05   11:00 AM chewbacca Male 20-29 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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...

Enjoyed the Rock Tour
Sat, Sep 3, 05   11:00 AM Hopper Male 40-49 Local Group of Friends
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.
