Great walking tour just the right amount of time and information. Bobby Pinn was a terrific guide. He provided a good amount of information not only about punk rock but also about the neighborhood.

A Great Morning in the East Village with a walk down memory lane

Bobby Pinn is a fellow who has a great grasp of the Rock History of the Village and New York City and loves what he does. His laid back but very informative tour is a must for any who loves Rock Music. One of the best experiences I have ever had! We are looking forward to taking his West Village and Beatles tour.

Excellent and fun experience. I thought I knew it all about rock n roll, but I learned a ton more on the tour. The guide was personable and knowledgeable. I recommend the tour to any and all rock music fans, including those that have lived in NY for a long time.

Review of Rock and Punk Tour

This tour was great. Our guide Mr. Pinn was very knowledgeable. The group was small so everyone had their individual questions answered as well as time to take pictures as desired at each site. I would highly recommend this to any one interested in New York's rock and punk scene.

Very Informative and Fun!

I got this gift for my husband for Christmas, and I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. But not only did he love it, I did to! Our tour guide was extremely nice and engaging, and answered all our questions and you could tell that he had experienced so much of what he was talking about and so you were getting a unique perspective. In addition, he gave great tips on places to go in the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!
