We ask you to book because we limit the number of participants on each tour to around 34 people per guide. We go straight into the old alleyways where the Jack the Ripper murders occurred in the autumn of 1888. Several of our guides are published authors on the subject. « less

“Fantastic!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

I think this is one of the older companies operating. Lindsay, our guide, lives and breathes the subject. She has appeared in documentaries on the subject and has written on the subject for many years. We were completely impressed. I would choose them over then newer/ perhaps less informed alternatives.

“A great walking tour!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013

This was one of the things my wife wanted to do while we were in London. We had great weather and the 2 hours of the tour flew by. It was very informative; I learned a lot about Jack the Ripper that I had never known before. It was great to go to or at least by the areas where... More

“Brilliant time and excellent guide”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

I took a tour with my 2 friends and we thought it was amazing. It was really informative and John, our guide was so knowledgable and even managed to add a touch of humour on occasion to this somewhat important matter. Brilliant, we loved it! Definitely worth the money,

“Brilliant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

I booked this for my boyfriends birthday as he had been going on about doing this tour for months! We were not disappointed! Our tour guide was John & he had us completely hooked for the whole 2 hours of the tour! Despite it being a bit rainy and cold (I definitely should've worn warmer clothing!) this did not spoil...

“Really great tour and guide!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2013

The tour was amazing! I found out a lot of great stuff from our guide Lindsay even though I've been a Jack the ripper enthusiast since 2003. I highly recommend this tour!

“Thrilling and eerie (in the good way)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2013

I took a tour with an entire class full of 17-19-year-old Danish students. They all thought our guide John was very exciting, and despite the cold, they were captured by the mood of Whitechapel. We talked about it afterwards, and we all agreed that it was something we would like to try again another time. Thank you for an excellent... More

“jack the ripper walk 20th April 2013”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

What an excellent tour with a fantastic guide.Very informative and although most of the places had changed in appearance Lindsay managed to create an eerie atmosphere by showing some photographs of the original places and victims.Would definitely recommend. Also a very good pub near the start of walk serving food at a reasonable price.The White Hart.

“Jack the Ripper walking tour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

Myself and two friends did the tour with Philip, who was very comical and witty. He has an amazing knowledge of the history of the area and the murders. I wasnt expecting much from the tour, but was suprised that we all had a great time learning about what really happended and where. Its a dodgy part of town ripe... More

Hi Charessa Thank you for your review. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Philip - he certainly 'knows his stuff' and he leads the tour in his own original way. Hopefully the cold did not impact too much on your enjoyment. Best wishes Richard More

“Great group-activity”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

Our school booked this tour for the fourth year in a row and every time again it was a hit with the students. The guides really know their stuff and -even more important for schoolgroups- they know how to bring it. Born performers, every one of them.

“It's a Ripper............”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

Took this tour last night (Sat April 13th) and despite a terrible night weather wise the tour couldn't have been bettered. I've read a lot of books on The Ripper and the guides knowledge was extremely extensive. We didn't visit all of the killing sites but did visit a few other places acquainted with The Ripper and the poor unfortunate... More
