| This tour was perfect for us. I had read about all the "rock and roll" sights in NY, many of which don't exist anymore, and would never have been able to visit them on my own. Bobby took us to many of them very efficiently, providing us with background and interesting anecdotes, complete with visual props. A very enjoyable time indeed. | ||||||

A Walk On the Wild Side

| My concern before embarking on this walking tour was that we would not locate the meeting point as a previous reviewer had complained that it was difficult to find. I worried unnecessarily however - we met up with our guide Bobby Pinn with no problems at all. After being warmly welcomed, we then embarked on a fascinating two hour or so walk around the (once) wild side of New York, the area that provided the spawning ground for the 70s NY punk scene. We started where Joey Ramone once lived, walked the streets that Debbie Harry and the boys in Blondie tramped, posed in front of legendary New York Dolls' hangout, walked through Iggy Pop's old neighbourhood and ended our tour outside the sad sight / site of the now defunct CBGBs. Throughout our tour Bobby gave us some great anecdotes and tales of Rock n' Roll excess and strangeness, as well as testing us on our rock trivia. To the passer-by it must look odd to see a group of tourists huddling round an un-prepossessing grocery store on the Lower East Side gazing at its frontage in awe, (particularly being as we were in the shadow of some of the world's greatest architectural landmarks), however the tour really gives the participant a flavour of the environment and conditions that informed the work of so many of the greats from the NY music scene of the 60s and 70s. Plus it's a great way to burn off some of those calories amassed from a heavy egg and pancake breakfast earlier! | ||||||

| First, I can't say enough abour Rock Junket tour guide Bobby Pinn. He was a wealth of knowledge, and was able to share this in a fun and interesting way. My wife and I brought our 20 year old daughter, and there was something for everybody. While some of these sites may have been converted to something different; eg. the Filmore East is now a bank building), Bobby had pictures of it in its heyday, and it seemed to transport us miraculously to that time. And ALWAYS an interesting story about something that had taken place there, or somebody who had performed there...usually in a rather eccentric manner. We had a great day, and look forward to the time when we can return to take some of Rock Junket's new tours! You the Man, Bobby! | ||||||

| Great tour - we are from Sydney, Australia & wanted to do something a bit different in NY. Bobby knows heaps about the NY rock scene, has a good sense of humour plus you can go with him for a beer at the end of the tour! What more could you want! An offbeat tour that is well recommended. | ||||||

| Just do this tour - Bobby is great - very knowledgeable and very funny. We passed Roberta Bayley on the street (took Ramones 1st album cover photo) which was an added bonus. Just to see and hear all about the music history in this small area is fantastic. Thanks again. | ||||||

| 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!! | ||||||

| 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 !! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| The tour was excellent. The Guide was informative and personable. We saw a lot of great sites and were given tons of information. If you are interested in the whole rock/punk movement of the Lower East Side this is the tour for you. | ||||||
