Overview

Your tour guide, Marcus, is a lifelong hip-hop fan. The early and mid-90s are still his favorite music era. During the walking tour around Brooklyn, you'll learn about the childhood, life, career, & legacy of Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G.

You'll visit some of the childhood places that shaped him, art and locations that honor him today, and a few spots you'll recognize from his lyrics. If you love Biggie's music or are a music lover, this tour is for you!

You'll leave knowing more about "Big Poppa" than you did before. As Biggie said, "If you don't know, now you know!"
