The highlight of our trip to NYC. Truly amazing how many rock and roll icons performed and lived within such a small area. Your guide knows his stuff and encourages coming back to the area to support the local shops. Make sure to get an egg cream drink.
Really enjoyed this tour, Ron our guide was great, full of rock n roll knowledge, great way of seeing parts of Manhatten that we probably wouldn't have seen if we hadn't done this tour, would highly recommend it.
This was the coolest part of our trip to NYC by far. Bobby was informative and entertaining. The sites we saw, combined with the stories he told, made it feel like we were back in the formative years of American punk. I bought his book after the tour and we were able to check out other areas of the city that held some great rock history.
Thanks again for the great tour.
One of the best tours I've ever been on! Only complaint is that it wasn't long enough :) There is so much to see and Bobby Pinn is so knowledgable that I could have listened to him for hours.
It was a windy super rainy day and still the tour was intresting entertaining and informative seriously great from start to finish.
Throughly enjoyed the Rock n Roll tour, would recommend it to anyone. Lots of interesting things to see.
If you are looking for something different and interested in music, then you will enjoy this tour.
Was unable to attend.
My best 2 hours in New York! Utterly fascinating to an old punk rocker like me. I would recommend this tour, conducted by the excellent Bobby Pinn, to anyone with a love of 60s/70s/80s music. The day we went on the tour, Roberta Payne happened to walk by - she did the classic photo for the Ramones first album. Another great aspect of the tour is that it gets you off the beaten tourist track and gives you a glimpse of an up and coming part of NYC which has that bohemian, creative, alternative edge you find in Camden Town in London. Great tour, I recommend it without hesitation.
Bobby Pinn really knows his stuff and the trip was above my expectations ! A pleasant walk through rock-history. The only improvement I can mention is a drink-stop at the Manitoba's bar
Absolutely fantastic tour with Bobby Pinn. My husband is a massive music fan and loved it. Even if you're not the biggest music fan it's still a very enteraining tour. I learnt loads of things I didn't know and Bobby has some very good stories to tell. A must if you want to do something a little different.
Rock Junket Owner and our tour guide were the real deal. He takes NYC rock history seriously and knows his stuff. He is the perfect combo of professional and rocker. He knows the East Village and it's rock history 1st hand. He even conducted our tour with a broken foot and cane...that's devotion! We bought his book and highly recommend his tour....IT ROCKS!!
Bobby Pinn was awesome. This is one of the best tours I did in New York. All of the music nerds in our group were thrilled to learn about some of the best rock and roll bands of all time. We were also introduced to some legendary bars that we were able to return to later and check out all of the cool stuff. Bobby also gives you a cheat sheet of places to shop and eat while in NYC. Seriously, do not miss out on this tour!
Really enjoyed the tour, Bobby Pinn was very informative and doing the trip independant would not have been the same. If you would like to see Maddonas first flat in NYC or inside the CBGB club now a shop but with the old club decor where loads of famous singers perfromed this is the trip for you. And dont forget the Egg Creme.........Yummy.
Brilliant, interesting, informative and really fun. Bobby took us to places we would never have found and told us intriguing tales about the East Side rock and music legends. Two hour tour was full of facinating facts from Bobby who knows his stuff from personal experience! and relevant research. He gave us tips on where to eat and drink in places with a 'past'!
