If you're a hip-hop fan, Marcus Hillmanā€™s Biggie tour in Brooklyn is an absolute must. As someone who loves hip-hop, I was blown away by Marcus' depth of knowledgeā€”itā€™s clear he truly lives and breathes the culture. Walking through Biggieā€™s old stomping grounds with someone so passionate made the experience incredibly immersive. Marcus didnā€™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.

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!

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 MarcusĀ“s delicate BIGGIE approach and Brooklyn dynamic swag! "Spread love, the Brooklyn way!"
