Our tourguide, Julia, had lots of information to share during the tour, including many pictures. She was very kind, social and approachable for questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London!
Arne, our tour guide from the Netherlands, was very informative and we learnt such a lot about the social history as much as on JTR and his victims. It was very hot (9th October - during heatwave) and the 2 hours of walking / standing was demanding especially as Arne was a fairly fast walker! We worked out it was around 3 miles walking in total. We would have liked more opportunity to ask questions - no time during tour, really - only had a minute or so at end as Arne had to leave and start another tour after ours. Overall, it was definitely worth the money and I’ve since ordered “The Five” book Arne recommended!
This was a very entertaining and interesting tour. Our guide, Julia, was great. We learned a lot about Linda n how n the 1800’s.
Jack was awesome and kept everyone engaged the whole time. The tour was well organized and the timeline of events were explained in great detail. Again Jack was amazing and our family listening the whole time! Definitely would recommend this tour when in London.
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Ivan, was knowledgeable and shared several interesting details about the Jack the Ripper case that we hadn't heard before. My only suggestion would be to spend a little more time walking closer to some of the key locations and pointing them out in greater detail. At times, it was difficult to fully appreciate the significance of certain sites from where we were standing. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience. I especially enjoyed walking through Whitechapel and the City of London in late evening and learning more about one of history's most infamous unsolved mysteries. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the case.
Our tour guide, Jack, was very knowledgeable on the subject and made the whole tour interesting and fun.
I learnt a lot interesting facts about Jack the Ripper during this tour. The tour guide was also very knowledgeable, and walking through the streets of London added to the overall atmosphere and experience.
if you are old tired and hard of hearing stay away from this attraction.
Jack (his real name, not making this up) was enthusiastic, funny, knowledgeable, and most of all compassionate about the victims - we appreciated the detail he went into about what was known of them, and framing the discussion in a way that reminded us that they were vulnerable women in an incredibly hard place, not just 2D characters. Thank you!
A wonderful experience, the guide Ana was perfect, very lively, rich in details, we highly recommend this tour!
