We are so happy that we found Rebel Tours as we planned our trip to London. Cecily was a wonderful guide who took great care to shine a light on the human side of the Jack the Ripper story, and the deep dive into social and political factors that made Whitechapel the infamous neighborhood it was at the time was fascinating. This tour is a must for anyone who enjoys exploring dark and lesser known history.

Not to be missed.
What a superb tour by Ellie. The story of Whitechapel is often dominated from the perspective of the murderer. Rebel tours offer something quite different - the story of the victims - the women. Tracing their last moments, this walk offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the 5 or perhaps 6 ladies who met their untimely end. Extremely informative, this walk is highly recommended. Not only does Ellie know her subject, she knows London. Setting the scene and offering some real nuggets of wisdom, she really gives you an insight into the year 1888.
Not to be missed.

Excellent tour
Charlotte was an amazing tourguide and provided an exceptionaly engaging and interesting tour that I wholehertedly recommend to anyone who is interested in hearing about the victims's stories as real women with real lives and not displayed as objects of ridicule or voyerism as sometimes portrayed in Jack the Ripper tours. Charlotte's knowledge and professionalism deserve to be especially praised

The women matter.
Was amazing changed my whole perspective and will be writing my play about the women and not a serial killer.

Fresh details, humane look on an old story--so well done!
Our tour guide Cecily was wonderful and informative! Our group was nice and small (5 people total). The stories were all a refreshing take on what we have all heard.

Can't recommend this tour enough. Love that Rebel Tours takes the perspective of the victims, giving them a voice. While on the tour, Cecily painted a vivid picture of the life of these women, what lead to their living in Whitechapel, and what became of them as a result. While on the tour, I passed other Ripper tour groups, one whose leader was sensationalizing the Ripper. It upset me. I wished those tour members could have heard the story I did. They may not have thought the same afterward. I know I didn't. Thank you, Cecily and Rebel Tours.

A truely remarkable tour!!
Thank you so much Ellie, for bringing the lives of the women to daylight and trying to change how history decided to remember them - and sadly how they are still being remembered today in other tours.
The picture of the daily lives and struggles of the working class (women) came to life with a ton of historic knowledge and a sensible telling of their stories.
Looking forward to your other tours!

Women focused tour
Charlotte gave such an informative and intriguing tour focused on the women and how they lived around 150 years ago. Made us see all of them as people rather than characters in the story most of us have heard over the years. Thank you Charlotte! I highly recommend booking this tour.
