| 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 | ||||||

| I recommend this tour for anyone interested in the history of rock/punk/glam music or anyone interested in East Village, counter-culture history. The guide was really well informed and amusing. The sites and stories were absolutely fascinating both for me and my 16-year-old sons. Even my 70+-year-old mom had a good time. Great way to spend a couple of hours, and plenty of cool stores and restaurants to visit afterwards. | ||||||

A wealth of information.

| Despite an unseasonably cold and windy day, our host kept us enthralled throughout the entire walking tour. I'd highly recommend the experience to anyone interested in the punk or rock scene of the 70's and 80's East Village. | ||||||

Infectiously informative intertainment by Bobby

| What a great 2 hours that was – starting at Joey Ramones’ one time apartment building, winding our way through the East Village and ending in the bathrooms of CBGBs. Bobby Pinn has obviously lived and breathed a lot of what he talks about, so the many asides & anecdotes come from his own experiences. And even with a hangover he related all this without notes. He was, though, ably armed with a stack of great photographs plus original record covers which he produced at the appropriate locations. Get on this tour quick because I don’t think these record covers are going to last. | ||||||

| My 18 year old daughter and I did all the "touristy" things in New York but this tour was definitely the highlight of our visit. Really interesting and definitely something for everyone into music, young and old. The leaflet given to us after the tour was extremely helpful as well and we visited a couple of the recommended eating places and bought some CDs (with the discount voucher). We had a great time ! | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||

| This tour was fun. Bobby Pinns/Rock Junket, the tour 'director', was very personable and knowledgeable about music, history and the East Village in general, providing lots of local colour and trivia, and pointing out places that the average rock fan would likely not have been able to find on their own. He was also able to tailor the tour 'on the fly' to include places of interest to the jazz fans among us. I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves rock music, especially the punk and glam eras of The Ramones, The New York Dolls, The Sex Pistols. | ||||||

| Very cool way to see important rock landmarks that have been lost in time. There is no way we wlould have been able to find these places without taking the tour. Very well informed and enthusiastic guide which helped make the tour flow. I certainly recommend the tour to any rock/punk fan. | ||||||

| As a first time visitor to N.Y. this tour was ideal to get to know the East Village which is an area I was interested to see, and we were shown where the best bars in the area where, which we latter tested out. Bobby Pinn the tour guide is a really cool chap, very laid back, down to earth and easy to talk too. I highly recommend this tour if you have any interest in rock and roll music. | ||||||

| This tour was perfect in every way. 1.-There were about 8 people total in the group, so the experience was personalized and engaging. 2.- Bobby knows all things, and was able to share information that even my extremely well read punk-rocker of a boyfriend learned a few things. 3. Bobby knows all people, and it was cool when random characters walked up to say hello to him. Overall, it was a very informative and entertaining tour, and i didn't feel like an "annoying tourist" in the small group. Bobby was very enthusiastic and fun, and it was obvious he loved his job. Having lived and travelled all over Europe, this was easily one of the best tours I have ever been on. Well worth the money. | ||||||

| The tour was great, Bobby managed to paint up the picture on how East Village looked like in the good ol' psychodelic dirty junky days. Extra plus for him bringing along photos - sometimes it is true that a pic says more than 1000 words. I did the tour together woth two teenagres that are dedicated punk fans and they were very enthusiastic. We went back gthe next days and walked through the whole tour, this stopping at Gem Store for a egg cream and for browing through the merchandise on the streets. Thanks to the tour we knew where to go and what to explore more in detail. I hadpromised the teenagers a tour round East Village and now in afterhand I realise that I would have been ENTIRELY lost if it was not for the Rock Punk Tour and Bobby. How in the world could ever a guidebook and map make up the amount of interesting information and sometimes firsthand information that Bobby gave us? And a word on what could be improved. Well, it was pretty brisk weather last weekend and a 10-15 min stop could maybe have been a good idea? Especially if you are not a native English speaker 2 hours of constant information flow in another language is quite heavy. Maybe prolong the tour with 15 min and allow a coffee or egg cream break, if the participants so wish? Overall, I thank you for arranging the tour, it made the trip to NY for two Finnish teenage punks something they will remember forever. | ||||||
