Biggie tour - If you're a hip-hop fan, Marcus Hillman’s Biggie tour in Brooklyn is an absolute must. As someone who loves hip-hop, I was blown away by Marcus' depth of knowledge—it’s clear he truly lives and breathes the culture. Walking through Biggie’s old stomping grounds with someone so passionate made the experience incredibly immersive. Marcus didn’t just show me the spots; he brought them to life with stories, history, and brilliant insights. He was also super accommodating and just a great person to hang out with for a few hours. A huge thanks to Marcus for making this tour so fun and informative. Highly recommended for hip-hop obsessives and casual fans alike.

Another Excellent Tour with Marcus! - This was my second tour with Marcus, having done his Little Italy Mobster tour previously. Marcus is witty, knowledgeable, entertaining and perfectly mixes facts, raps, and laughs. If you want to see behind the lyrics of Biggie and understand the true culture and foundation of east coast rap, this is the tour for you!

Live from Bedford-sty... - Magnificnet Marcus led my new wife and I on our Biggie Smalls walking pilgrimage through his native Brooklyn! This was an epic lyrical, historical and geographical excursion that we will remember and cherish on our return to Europe. Marcus was entertaining, informative and captivating. His knowledge and vast experience expands BIG and rap and transcends into American history, New York, general politics and hip hop culture. I strongly encourage anyone interested in a truly unique and intimate urban - historical - rap magical tour to savour Marcus´s delicate BIGGIE approach and Brooklyn dynamic swag! "Spread love, the Brooklyn way!"

Super tour, very informative! A must for BIG fans! - An absolutely brilliant experience with Marcus. Not only was the tour very informative, but Marcus took the time to explain wider context on American history and answered many questions and perspectives we had for him. He was very generous with his time and the tour was really worth doing - you can always walk around yourself but you will never get the same context. Marcus was knowledgeable and his passion for music and history was evident. I would highly recommend this tour if you are a hip hop / B.I.G fan. An absolute must for music fans. Thank you Marcus, we had a great time and really learned about BIG’s life in a way we would never have experienced!

An Unforgettable Biggie Tour – Beyond Expectations! - I originally booked a tour with a group, but I ended up being the only one who could make it. Marcus was so kind to still give me the tour, and I’m incredibly grateful for that! Not only do I now know all the ins and outs about Biggie, but I also got a quick crash course on U.S. history, other legendary rappers, and iconic figures. The tour was incredibly detailed, and we covered a lot of ground. Every stop was fascinating and really brought the story to life. 10/10 – Highly recommend, thank you Marcus!
