| I had an opportunity to spend a week with my 17 year old son and his friend in NY over spring break. This was the 3rd trip to the city for them and they took the opportunity to look for the unusual not the typical tourist attractions. They decided that a trip around the east and west villages seeing and expierencing the culture and history of the music gendre would be great. We spent the first afternoon with the greatest tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and took us through the 1960's through the 90's. My Son was so inspired! He spent the next two days in the village researching all the history. I know he did not get to it all but he is now on a mission to learn more about the times and to experience/see what it was all about. I want to thank you for the tour and would recommend this to anyone who is interested in rock/punk history. | ||||||

Hey Ho - You Should Go

| I found the web page for Bobby Pinn's rock walks while looking for stuff to do on a short break in NY. His walk listed sites associated with bands I've been listening to for years so I signed up for one immediately. I then got an email form him asking if I'd like to change the date because the weather wasn't looking good for the day I'd chosen, which was easily taken care of. The walk itself takes a couple of hours and starts out where Joey Ramone lived, and fittingly ends up at the site of CBGBs. In between we visited nuermous places of musical interest in Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side, from GG Allin's hotel, to Madonna's first appartment, the site of Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti album sleeve and a host of others. If you like the music that came out of NY in the late 70s you can't go wrong with this walk. If you're a music fan in general it's well worth doing. Bobby is an engaging and friendly host - I had a great time. | ||||||

| The tour was led by someone with excellent knowledge. He provided some good historical contexting which went beyond the subject of the tour, but placed the area and subject in relationship to the rest of New York. This created broader appeal. He also had excellent visual aids to provide the history. | ||||||

Pretty good!

| This was for the most part an interesting tour. The guide really did his research and gave an entertaining talk. He kept things interesting with trivia questions and prize giveaways. My only complaint is that there is one stretch of the tour (towards the end) where we walked several blocks with nothing to see/talk about. I understand why he wanted to end at the former CBGB's site, but he needs to either redo the route or find some more interesting stuff along the way. I felt that he could have talked about the Hells Angels block and gone into detail about the assassination attempt on Mick Jagger's life, for instance. Also - in the beginning he told us we could all go have a beer with him afterwards, but at the end of the tour he just vanished with a friend. | ||||||

| Very entertaining. Bobby Pinn is the real deal. His enthusiasm and affection for the people and places of the East Village make this a great way to spend a couple hours learning about an era that is slowly fading away. My wife and grown children loved it. | ||||||

Punk Rock and Egg Cream

| It was Bobby Pin (good name by the way) who took my son and I on the tour, unfortunately we could only do the first hour due to unforseen problems on our part but I would recommend this tour to any one interested in the history of punk. The knowledge and the obvious love of music that Bobby has shone through and should we ever be lucky to visit New York in the future I would definitely go on the tour again. My son who is eighteen could`nt stop talking about the experience and is now downloading The Ramones, Television, The New York dolls. Heck we even went back to the Gem Spa for an egg cream? | ||||||

| Sensational times! The guide knew his stuff! It was super interesting and definitely gave me a new appreciate of New York. People take for granted all of the amazing music (as well as other) that has gone down on our very streets. I would most definitely recommend it! | ||||||

| The tour guide Bobby Pinn was excellent. He brought the area of the East Village to life and I had already been staring at 3 significant buildings before Bobby arrived not having a clue about their role in the East Village punk/glam rock scene. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has a remote interest in the music and art of that era. If you like Iggy and the Stooges, The Ramones, Blondie, New York Dolls and Andy Warhol etc you will really enjoy this walking tour. | ||||||
