This was the best tour we have ever been on!!! Our tour guide was nice and literally so knowledgeable of East Village and the history behind it! We are from California and we were so excited for this tour! It wend beyond our expectations! I highly recommend.
– Danielle, TripAdvisorAmazing tour around the East Village with Bobby! He was warm, friendly & very knowledgeable with all the music facts and information. We had a small group tour so it felt very personal & was a unique and interesting activity to do whilst we were in New York! We loved seeing the hangouts for all the musical legends gone by. Highly recommend and very well worth the money for 2hours of Music history and lots of fun.
– Lout646, TripadvisorI did this tour of the Lower East side 15 years ago and it’s still just as good. Bobby is extremely knowledgeable on both the history of the area and the music. You won’t find a more authentic tour guide & his book is a great read too.
– RTJ, TripAdvisorWe LOVED our tour. If music is your thing you will so enjoy this. Our tour guide Joe was so knowledgeable and fun. He personalized to talk about bands we love, came with great photos, and created a perfect afternoon. Also a covid activity - Joe was super safe and thoughtful about the way he managed our group and very careful to keep his mask on for the entire duration of our tour. Last but not least, it was easy to communicate with the company that runs the tour- they even accommodated the later start we requested. THANKS Rock Junket!
– Gabriella, TripAdvisorWether you are a musician looking for inspiration or a music enthusiast you should definitely experience this awesome tour! Our guide Joe a very friendly and kind person made this experience unforgettable. Thank you! Kiriakos GP, guitarist from Greece.
– Kirk 8989, TripAdvisorGreat, informative tour with Bobby Pinn. My two teens and I really enjoyed it. Bobby had great stories and showed us so many places that are part of rock history. He also gave us recommendations for great restaurants, clubs and record stores; we followed up on those and found his advice to be rock solid!
– Susan K, TripAdvisorMy husband, daughter and I were very keen to take the Greenwich Village tour and so we are very grateful that Rock Junket decided to go ahead with its Sunday 10th November tour despite having only our party of three and one other person booked onto it. Joe was the perfect tour guide. He is as passionate about music and social history as we are. His detailed knowledge of Greenwich Village's geography, social history and music meant that he quickly took us to, and offered us an insight into, the Bob Dylan related areas of Greenwich Village which were of particular interest to us. Thank you Joe and Rock Junket we had a great time. P.S the Rock Junket book is a fantastic souvenir.
– Tess1963, TripAdvisorWe had a great time on this tour and would highly recommend. The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us so many historic music spots. It was really fun!
