View on Google MapsAmazing tour, Marcus is incredible! There is literally nothing this man does not know about biggie. He informative, funny and has the most incredible accent! 100 percent recommend this. I’d book it up again in a heartbeat.
Booked this tour already knowing alot about Biggie'a history... Not only was it really special to be in the places we've read about but Marcus exceeded our expectations with stories we had never heard. This tour blends hip-hop history, local Brooklyn culture, and storytelling in the best way possible. Marcus was deeply knowledgeable about Biggie’s life and the neighborhoods he grew up in, and so great at weaving stories that made every stop feel meaningful. Whether you’re a longtime Biggie fan or just hip-hop history, Marcus brings the experience alive with details, context, and personality that you can’t get from a book or screen. We walked through iconic Brooklyn spots that shaped Biggie’s early years from places referenced in his lyrics to murals and landmarks that honor his legacy today. It was such a cool way to understand the environment that influenced one of hip-hop’s greatest. The pace was perfect — informative without being rushed, and just long enough to keep us fully immersed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC especially if you love music, culture, and stories that stick with you long after the walk ends. Definitely a 5-star experience!

It was a great and very informative tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and brought the experience to life. I would. Highly recommend it.
By far the best walking tour I’ve ever been on. Marcus was brilliant and knew everything there was to know about Biggie and the Brooklyn areas. For a fan like me it was so interesting to learn new things about him and where he grew up but my family (who aren’t huge fans) loved the tour and were just as involved because Marcus was including them so well. The tour was a perfect length as we weren’t rushing everywhere and took time in places that we wanted to, but it didn’t take a full day up. 10/10 would recommend and hope to be back soon. Thanks Marcus!
We love old-school hip hop, and taking the NYC Biggie Smalls tour with tour guide Marcus Hillman was like walking and talking with a hilarious, versatile, knowledgeable friend. We’ve done many tours in many places, but when you’re on a walking tour and the conversation is appealing and every word holds interest, it makes a difference. We can honestly say we learned so much more than just about Biggie but about Brooklyn itself. This tour speaks volumes, and it’s definitely one for the books. We highly recommend Marcus if you want to know more about hip hop and beyond, and you never know who you’ll run into along the way with him ( we met Spike Lee 🥰). We definitely will tour with him again.
I would surely recommend Marcus and this experience for all of the Notorious BIG aka Biggie Smalls fans and general hip-hop enthusiasts. If you are interested in hip-hop, this experience will be very powerful: discovering streets of Brooklyn with top-notch professional, charismatic and very interesting guide like Marcus - will bring your NYC experience to just another level. Highly recommended!
We cannot recommend this tour enough. Marcus is not only knowledgable but his unique insights are shared with such passion and authenticity, you feel as if you have transcended the ordinary. Biggie’s legacy was never in question but this tour gave us a context and a sense of place that exceeded our expectations and deepens our understanding and respect not only for the man himself but the neighbourhood he called home. Next level.
We did the Biggie tour this summer. Marcus knows a lot about Biggie's life and neighborhood, as well as the history of hip hop, and he shares his knowledge with passion. We even chatted with the proprietor of Biggie’s favorite diner. It was a great time!
Marcus was very knowledgeable about all things Biggie and Brooklyn. I learned facts that I can share with my friends. The experience was top notch!! I would 100% recommend Marcus for any tour.
You cannot say you’ve visited New York without doing this incredible Biggie tour! Our guide, Marcus, brought Biggie’s story to life. His story telling made us feel you were right there when it happened. His energy kept us engaged the whole time, and we felt like we’ve known Marcus for a long time. Marcus answered questions with great insight and some memorable humour too! We learnt a great deal as previously our knowledge was mainly off movies. It is something you don’t want to miss! So make sure you don’t miss out. Thanks again Marcus!
