| I had my startingpoint in my 8-dayvication at St. Marks Hotel in East Village. Fantastic feeling just to be there in the area where so much has happend threw the years & in the same hotel as Ramones lived in during there startuptime & where G.G.Allin spent his last 9 month.(Cheap,clean Hotel with excellent helpful stuff). Bobby Pinns "Rock Junket Tour" was very inspiring with lots of places you cant leave N.Y.C. without a look at. As C.B.G.B.´s former place,Joey Ramones NYC pad,Iggy Pops,Andy Warhols & Madonnas former recidents among many other interesting places we saw. I look forward to the release-date of Bobby Pinns book about all this and more. Enthusiastically Recommended by Bjorn V. from Sweden. | ||||||

| Vores guide var engageret og havde en stor viden om musikscenen i NYC i slut- 60'erne og 70'erne. Jeg kendte ikke alle de omtalte bands, men det ændre ikke på, at det samlet set var en god oplevelse. Ligeledes en god måde at lære geografien i bydelen at kende på. Alt i alt anbefalingsværdigt /D | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Book a tour with Pinn!! He rules!! Pinn knows all the stories of the old days. GG Alin, Ramones, Velvet Underground just to name a few. It's a 2 hour tour around the Rock & Roll streets of New York. It starts at the Contintal and ends at the old CBGB's. Pinns got pictures of the old day's, fills you in with details on record sleeves etc. etc. etc!!! Don't forget to take a picture of the Joe Strummer mural!!! | ||||||

| 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 ? | ||||||

| Great Guide And A Good Tour! You See A Lot Of Historical Places And You Get A Lot Of Information. If You Have A Little Imagination You Can Take Your Brain Back In Those Days And You Can See The Ramones, Iggy Pop Or Television Walkin' The Streets And Performin' Their Gigs! | ||||||

| I would fully recommend the East Village Rock n Punk Tour if your interested in seeing tthe venues and hearing all about the music and people who lived in the East village, it was superb ! Our guide Bobby Pinn was very friendly and so knowledgable we were taken to CBGB's and The Fillmore East, Joey Ramone's NYC pad, St. Marks Hotel, Iggy Pop's former residence, Andy Warhol's Electric Circus, Madonna's first NYC apartment and many more... He took time to explain the history and show us the places these artistes hanged out in including the famouse CBGB club he has loads of album covers and posters showing the stuff from the venues. He gave us a leaflet at the end with lots of information and good places to eat and drink in the area. I would say dont miss this !!!! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Interesting and fascinating way to spend a couple of hours round the many points of musical interest around the East Village and the Lower East Side in the company of an knowledgable and enthusiastic guide. I even learnt something - Madonna used to be a drummer! Amazed that CBGBs is now a (very, very!) expensive clothes store. Highly recommended and very enjoyable.. | ||||||

| Excellent event!! Interesting, funny & informative guide made the whole event great fun! (He even suggested rearranging due to forecast bad weather a couple of days ahead ... which we did ... and it proved to be a good move!) A good mix of walking (not too far, which seemed to suit everyone) & stops to see interesting sites & listen to annecdotes. Well-sized group (not too big) made it easy to keep close to the guide whilst walking, which made 'chatting' between the stops possible, adding to the event. A useful leaflet was provided afterwards with recommendations for eating/drinking/music venues + a couple of discount vouchers thrown in. Focused mainly on Rock & Punk, but with a couple of sites to do with Blues & Jazz ... something for (almost) everyone. Thoroughly recommended! | ||||||

| A great tour ! I would have struggled to find many of these landmarks on my own without the help of the brilliant and enthusiastic Bobby Pinn. The East Village is an area I knew little about, but I will return to explore this area again on future trips. Of course it's a slightly bitter sweet tour as many of the buildings were not designated Landmarks and have changed and not for the better. All the more reason to take this tour ! Ps Try the Egg Creams, they are incredibly refreshing. | ||||||

| In the spirit of the independents, Bobby Pin's tour of the East Side of Manhattan is fully recommended for any fan of alternative music- thanks to his knowledge, see where the Led Zep Physical Graffiti cover was taken, where Warhol hosted his parties, the Fillmore, CBGBs and of course, The Ramones. Brilliant. | ||||||
