| 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. | ||||||

| Booked on the basis of London Daily Telegraph article and reviews on here. Turned out we were the only group that day, but "Bobbie Pinn" treated us to the full tour regardless. As a guide he is full of knowledge and enthusiasm for his subject and can hold forth with humour and authority on everything from Velvet Underground to his favourites - The Ramones. If he has a fault, it is that he assumes everyone is an enthusiast for every band he mentions. So we told him (cos he asked) that US punk had pretty much passed us by - though we were interested in what he could tell us - and he then continued to talk as if we had every NY Dolls and Ramones album issued. It's a very small criticism and only very slightly lessened our enjoyment of his rock'n'roll history lesson. A word of warning - NY can be hot and humid and this is a 2 hour walking tour at quite a brisk pace, so anyone who isn't somewhat fit may struggle. But go if you can, this is definitely one of the best things you can do with an afternoon in New York. | ||||||

| Fantastically interesting and cool tour of the area we were staying in that highlighted spots we never could have known about - we wanted to know more about GG Allin and found out he had spent the last months of his life staying in the hotel we were staying in! Great tour guide who really knows his stuff & brings it all to life. It was a real highlight of our trip and we'll be buying the book for sure! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Yea I really liked this walking tour, thanks to Bobby, the great story teller. Have understood he's writing a book, will buy it for sure...maybe the equally lovable Jimmy - I guess it's his name(?) - from the nearby Trash & Vaudeville shop is included, cannot wait ;) Anyway I warmly recommend this compact tour to everyone who's interested in classic rock and awesome stories.

| I am a great fan of groups such as The Ramones, The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop and Velvet Underground, but I am more into the music than every detail about their lives. So for me it was really interesting to stroll around the East Village with someone who could connect my favourite groups to these streets and buildings. I brought my sister who knows nothing about this music, and she enjoyed it equally, because Bobby Pinn is a very good story teller and an enthusiastic guide. He could probably talk about anything and make it seem interesting. I really recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in New York, music, or both. Louise Ercolino, Sweden | ||||||

| This tour was a lot of fun. It was my first time in New York and I wanted to see the neighborhood that gave birth to punk rock. Our tour guide showed us very cool spots, from where Andy Warhol had his first party with the Velvet Underground, to what use to be The Murder Junkie's HQ! I highly recommend this tour for any fan of punk rock. | ||||||

| Bobby, our Guide, not only had an incredible amount of information on many of our favorite bands of the time, but was able to deliver it with an attention grabbing style and a wonderful sense of humor. Thanks, Bobby, for a memorable time!! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| We, my wife & I, came from the UK to do this tour after we read about it in The Telegraph (UK circulation daily paper). It totally matched our expectations and some more! Despite the rain, it was hugely entertaining and wanted it to run all day. A great find, I'd encourage anyone with the slightest bit of musical interest to do this. I play in a band in the UK, so I thought it very apt. These tours must be supported as these guys are the keeper of the Rock n Roll past and this stuff must not be lost to oblivion . . . Cheers, Trev . . . BTW: The band can be found at http://www.myspace.com/barebonesboogieband | ||||||

| My sister and I were on our first trip to New York and as a musician, I was really keen to learn as much anecdotal info about my favourite arists and where they used to hang out as I possibly could. This tour was ideal - Bobby knew so much about all the places he took us to, the visual aids (photographs and record sleeves) that he carried around with us really added to the experience and put everything he told us about into context. It was like a really awesome music documentary, only we could actually walk and touch and see the places for ourselves, rather than just watching on a screen - I thought it was fantastic! We felt like we were really soaking up the history and energy of the place - Bobby picked his locations well. It didn't feel rushed and it felt like we got around a good number of interesting places. It wasn't just about where we went so much as the stories he told us about each place and each character who had lived or partied there. Thanks for making this day one of the highlights of our week-long stay in New York! Next time I come to the city, I would be tempted to take one of Bobby's other tours of New York, as this one was worth every cent. | ||||||
