Bobby Pinn is passionate about the NYC music scene

| This tour is for those who are serious about the punk rock music scene in NY/East Village during the 70-80's. The Ramones are the holy trinity and everything starts from there...if your punk "lite" this is not the tour for you. I enjoyed the tour and learned how important the East Village was in the 70's. But I felt if I expressed loving the Go-Go's in the late 70"s "Johnny your so Queer" era, before thier pop hits, I would have been told to leave the tour. Bobby is serious and extremely knowledgeable about his music and I felt a little out of my league. I would like a tour of Billy Holiday-Diana Washington-Etta James-Judy Garland-and those great ladies and their contribution to NY music scene in the 40-50-60's. I would recommend the tour to friends coming to NYC, because there is nothing like it anywhere else and you have your own docent to the East Village. Wish we had a Bobby Pinn in LA who could take me through my own backyard and educate Los Angelenos about the music scene in the 60-70's. Thank you, Connie Kuberski | ||||||

| Bobby Pinn is the perfect tour guide! My husband and I had been to NYC several times before and were looking for something a little different to do. We'd spent a lot of time in the Village but Bobby managed to show us lots of new and interesting locales. His stories were interesting and fun and we highly recommend this tour! | ||||||

| Had a great time on this tour. Learned a lot about the history of the East Village. I think the tour is a must-see attraction for any visitor interested in the music and art scene history of the East Village. | ||||||

| This tour was the highlight of our trip to new york city. My daughter is 13yo and a rock, punk , glam fanatic and this tour was unbelievable for her ( and Me too ). I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in that period of music and for all teen agers. we were really fortunate as we were the only people on the tour ( we went on a weekday rather than a weekend_I recommend this) so essentially had a private tour. wear comfortable shoes | ||||||

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! | ||||||

| Bobby Pin is the best! He is passionable, funny, really knows about what he does!We went to his punk rock tour with our 13 year old son and it was great. When we arrived home in Brazil after 12 wonderful days in New York our boy keeps telling everyone that this tour was the best of all he did there! You sure are going to have many brazilian Punk Rock lovers from now on... Thanks to Bob Pin, keep on the good work! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| This was a great tour of the East Village rock scene. Anyone interested in early punk, Ramones, the Warhol scene, CBGB's, or general history of rock in NYC should take this tour. Spans a few generations, and there is something for everyone. I am 46 and I brought my 17 year old niece. We both enjoyed it equally! Also a great chance to see CBGB's before the predicted close. This tour is informative and fun. Don't miss it! | ||||||

| Me and my two teenagers (14 &16) took the walking tour and had a great time. It was our first trip to NY City and I would highly recommend the tour for music fans of all ages. It was a great way to get a taste of all that New York has to offer. My kids are hooked on the Big Apple. We can't wait for our next visit. Thanks! | ||||||

| This is a great way to learn a little about the East Village while taking in some cool sights. It is a must tour for any New York Dolls or Ramones fan or anyone who has an interest in music history. Next time you are in New York, skip the silly bus tours and choose the Rock N Roll Walking Tour, you will be happy you did. | ||||||
