It was a really hot day and there were no stops for drinks or rest rooms and we spent a lot of time standing in the sun. We expected a more diverse tour. 60% seemed to be about The Ramones.

I really enjoyed walking around the East Village and Alphabet City. It was great see St. Mark's Place and where old punk rockers once shopped and hung out. The Gem Spa was really cool and seeing where Fillmore East once stood was awesome. Our guide was really knowledgeable and I liked that he had old photos of each of the establishments before they changed into what they are today. I also like that he had the records that tied in with each location. This was the only thing I really cared to do while we were in NYC and I wasn't disappointed...well, I was disappointed that all the punk clubs are now non-existent but that is no reflection on the tour. Also, LOVED Trash and Vaudeville!!

If you are into New York City rock and roll history from the 60s, 70s, 80's and 90's you would enjoy this tour. My husband and I loved the tour. Bobby Pinn is a great tour guide full of interesting and fun info. We really enjoyed spending the 2 hours with him. At the end of the tour he even gave us a list of places to eat, drink and shop. We used the 15% off coupon at Trash & Vaudeville. We ate at one of his pizza places, Gruppo, and the pizza was great. We even bought the yummy traditional East Village Egg Cream drink he told us about. Very fun, interactive, educational. We highly recommend it to all rock fans! The tour is 2 hours but you will want to go back to some of the places in the East Village so plan for more time.
