Disappointing, and somewhat concerning.
We have had other ripper walk tours, and this one disappointed us. We went to a number of locations that seemed unrelated to Ripper, but had good white walls, so he could show us photos on them. Some locations are unrecognizable by now, of course, with the passage of time, I can expect that, but we didn’t see one recognizable location. The part that we found the most disappointing was his excessive dramatization when he explained and described the killings. We are talking about human beings, and he shouldn’t have a smile on his face as he describes how they are ripped through with a knife. He also seemed very dismissive of them, describing the victims several times as all being prostitutes, as though that somehow means they are less, and yet that subject has been heavily studied and written on over the years and likely untrue.
Operator response
Hi sorry you did not enjoy the tour however we must correct you on a few issues. We are voted the number one Jack the Ripper tour in London because we use actual experts and authors and one of the few tours that actually goes to the actual murder sites. If you had an attended other ripper tours in the past chances are you were at the wrong locations. The guides are very animated and great story tellers and their job is the keep the customers engaged and educated. As for the victims career I’m afraid you have read the only book in Ripperology which claims they were not as described. This book has been debunked by most experts as speculative and opinionated and not based on the actual evidence which is readily available to most researchers. We hope you will come back and join us again and I will personally send you a list of locations and you will know you are standing in the right place Thanks Richard

Awesome tour & guide!
This private tour was so awesome! Peter was our guide and he walked us through East London providing us so much detail not just of Jack the Ripper but the history of London at the time and how the city overcame this horrible tragedy! We really enjoyed this and highly recommend.

10/10 experience
The guide Mick was amazing, very knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper, the victims and local knowledge. The tour, as gruesome as the legend of Jack is, was still done in such a way to keep you enthralled in the crimes. 100% worth it!
J
Amazing
Peter was an exceptional guide. And made the whole tour extremely enjoyable. Very considerate too when crossing the busy roads.

Andre made our tour!
Fantastic experience thanks to our engaging guide Andre! He was excellent with sharing his knowledge, sharing warnings prior to looking at any photos, & keeping our group safely on track. My partner, friends, & I all asked questions about the history, theories, etc. to which Andre happily answered. Even after the tour was completed he was more than willing to share his insights which we greatly appreciated. Andre exudes tons of passion & humor throughout the tour and we observed other tours trying to listen in on ours. Thanks Andre for being awesome & making this a great experience!

The Ripper
Excellent tour! Guide was very knowledgeable and gave us lots to think about in regards to who the murderer may have been.

Not worth it in my opinion
Wasn’t particularly interesting. While I appreciate the history the area has been so paved over you can’t really envision the history. Shaky projector work. Way too many people I think if it was more private I would have been interested. At the one I went to it felt like 50+ people. Also tour guide needs microphone if your group is going to be this big. Rob the tour guide was pleasant though.
C
Fabulous guide.
This was an absolutely fabulous evening. Very knowledgeable guide and the Ripper Vision made it even better.
