Great way to spend 2 hours
Thu, Jun 25  1:00 PM PhilTrory Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Very interesting to see famous venues (or the sites thereof) from the Seventies and Eighties. Particularly enjoyed CBGB's and Filmore East. Very informative & entertaining guide - Bobby ?

This tour was very well done. The tour guide, Bobby Pin, was likeable and interesting, easy to understand. He really knew his stuff. He had lots of visual aids, photos and album covers, which added a lot to the tour. Any big Rock fan of the 70s punk scene would love this, great way to spend 2 hours.

Informative and fun
Wed, May 13  1:00 PM CynthiaLove Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Up until now, I had not explored the East Village as much as I wanted to, and after this tour, I can't wait to go back. I'll definitely head for Manitoba's Bar, which was highly recommended by our tour guide. I'll have my nieces with me next time and I'll be able to point out some of the places our guide took us to, especially shopping on St. Mark's Place. Bobby Pinn made the tour informative and fun! You can tell he's really into all the bands and places he mentions.

Awesome! We had a great time and look forward to taking another tour with Rock Junket. Our guide was knowledgeable and quite interesting. He showed us a neighborhood we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise.

Excellent-Brings me back to those early rock days

When I booked this tour I had no idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. The guide was excellent. It was great to see where a lot of it happened. Now I really understand the phrase "drugs,sex,rock & roll". My highlights where Andy Warhol's influences, Bill Graham and the Fillmore East. It dosen't matter what type of rock music you listen to it's a great tour.

We really enjoyed our East Village rock tour. Our guide (John Pimm?) is a real rock fan with a lot of knowledge, personality and personal experience about what he talk about. Many thanks and long live rock'n'roll!

Enjoyed the tour thoroughly. Bobby was able to answer all our questions and showed us things we never would have seen on our own. Never thought I would be wandering around Alphabet City on foot! If you are into real rock and roll, don't miss it!

Some great stories from a guide who makes the area come to life and gives you a better sense of its past. Ours was a really diverse group of people, but all seemed to have a great time.. My partner was only along with me out of duty - he has no interest in music !! Even he was captivated by the stories and ended up enjoying the tour, despite his reservations! I loved every minute of it.

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!
