If you are into any New York rock or punk scene from the 70s 80s e.g. The Ramones, The New York Dolls, Blondie, The Dictators etc you must do this tour. It was one of the best things we did on our New York trip. Bobby who runs the tours is not only very informative about the music but all... More

Music and rock n roll specifically has been a passion for me since high school. Since I have seriously listened to music and read books about music history for over 30 years, I was a little skeptical about this tour. I thought I knew enough for this tour to be a bore. I was wrong. Bobby has done an amazing... More

Bobby is good as a tour guide and with small groups you get a more personable tour, which is always better I think. There's some history that he talks about that the majority of people would know, but he spends a fair amount of time on artists that were big in East Village, but not really anywhere else. I would...

My husband and I honeymooned in NYC in July, and this was BY FAR our favorite tour of the trip! Bobby was incredibly knowledgeable and personable. It was an experience we will remember forever and ever! If you are ever in NYC and you love music, you MUST take this tour!!! You will not be disappointed! More

The East Village Rock and Punk Tour, and no doubt the other Rock Junket trips, are entertaining, insightful and fun - and a great way to take a couple of hours out of your break in NYC. We already had walked around a bit and had no idea how much history was around and about us. If you like music... More

We went on the punk music tour last week and it's fantastic. My husband is a music lover and discovered a lot of things he didn't know. Even if you're not a major fan of the punk movement the tour is still really good fun. Bobby Pinn makes the tour and you can tell it's his passion. We bought his... More

The glam/punk tour is a must for any fans of punk, post-punk and classic rock. Bobby Pinn is funny, informed and has a wealth of knowledge about a vast swathe of New York's rock history. The tour really brings the history of the area to life and gives a fascinating insight into the way the city is subject to social... More

Bobby takes you on a fact-filled journey through some of the richest rock history in America... and you get to see these places as he speaks. It isn't expensive and there's new people to meet! If the weather's going to be good, this is a very good choice. More

One of the best things I've done in NYC! I went on the East Village Rock Punk Glam Tour in June 2008. Check out the website to see what other tours he offers (Beatles, Dylan, West Village, Union Square). There was a nice size group that day, about a dozen people. The walk isn't strenuous, you stop at locations and... More
