Description
In 1888, tragedy struck: Five lives were taken, countless more changed forever. While the killer has become a household name, his victims have been largely lost to history. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary Jane on our “The 5 Women + Jack the Ripper” tour of London. With your expert guide you’ll unearth clues, examine the crime scenes and meet the human beings behind the headlines. Just how much of what you think you know is wrong? Included free: The Ripperologist’s Companion. Every guest gets our interactive case file: the five women and who they really were, ten suspects with the evidence for and against each, an 1888 map, a timeline and three puzzles. Read up before your walk (the murder sites stay sealed until you have walked the ground), then the whole file unlocks when your tour ends, with prizes for guests who work the case. No app, nothing else to buy: it opens in your browser with your booking reference and name.

Curiosity Well Spent
Martin is knowledgeable, communicates well and offers an easy, well planned walk for a modern day investigation into who was Jack the Ripper.

Learned some interesting stuff we hadn't known.
It's a REALLY long walk. Our tour guide was very dedicated to minutia. We learned fun stuff like the basis for the saying "waking up hung over."

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!

Hot walk but fascinating tour!
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!

Awesome history and tour!
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.

Interesting Tour
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.
