Cannot recommend his tours enough whether you’re visiting or a Londoner.Written 31 October 2024

We had a last minute trip to London and had a voucher to use which covered a number of walking tours. George responded to all communications really quickly and so we booked with him.
George was very prompt for the meet up and it turned out we were the only people on the tour (not many tourists in London at the moment!)
Great tour, learnt lots, saw bits of London we'd never seen before and all disagreed at the end who the ripper was!
Our teenagers felt he checked their understanding without being condescending in any way.
Will book another tour next visit!

7 of us from work have started doing activities to build team work and this was our first trip out together and what a way to start. The tour was fascinating but definitely the highlight was George and his ability to tell the story and his knowledge. I had goosebumps at points of the tour. He really knew his stuff and could answer any questions we had. Really good with other people on the tour but not with our group who had English as a second language, checking their understanding and making sure they were as much a part of tour and asking if they needed anything explaining more. 10/10 thumbs up.

Would highly recommend booking this tour with George as a local guide. His ability to draw in his audience into the history of Jack the Ripper was captivating with the hour and a half walk around Whitechapel flying by. We passed a number of other similar tours during our time, which confirmed we had chosen the orator. Don't hesitate to book this tour for something different yet worthwhile to learn of the area so close to the Tower Bridge/of London.

George was a great narrator who kept this tour very entertaining. He managed and engaged with the crowd giving some great information. He was loud enough to be heard at the back of the group and didn’t allow the people who can distract the tour to do so, gently getting everyone involved. It didn’t feel rushed and he made you feel that you were the only one he was talking to. I was a little concerned when I booked because I read that they take tours of up to 40 people but ours had nearer 50 and it really wasn’t an issue.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that was thinking of gaining a little bit more knowledge about Jack the Ripper, especially if George is your guide.

George was a wonderful guide, super knowledgable and so interesting. We’ve been raving about him to our friends ever since! Thoroughly recommend. I live in London and it was really great to hear more of the history of the city, you don’t just have to be a tourist to enjoy this experience :)

Took this evening tour on Sunday with my 2 sons. We all agreed this was one of our all time favourite guided tours. George was just the best guide--he has an incredible in depth knowledge of the subject and an ability to paint a picture of what life was in 1888 in each area of the various stops. A naturally friendly and good humoured guy George made sure everyone in our party felt involved and as we walked between the various stops he engaged us in conversation. George should be thanked wholeheartedly for making this such an enjoyable 90 minutes packed full of amazing facts. Definitely a Ripper of a tour!!!

We were originally meant to go back in Autumn time of 2020 but had to postpone everything because of lockdown and they were so accomodation and great at being flexible and communicating with us. We finally got to join a tour a year later and had an absolute lovely evening. George did an amazing job! He's clearly incredibly passionate about what he does and he does it exceedingly well. My husband and I learnt a lot and were engaged in the story telling the whole time. I loved it and would definitely recommend.

George was fantastic! He was very informative and engaging, providing detailed stories and theories. We learned so much while having a good time. He projected his voice well so no matter where you were standing you could hear him. Very charismatic too. Also, gave helpful ideas on pubs to visit afterwards. Glad we picked this tour over all the others…highly recommend!

What an amazing experience we had walking through the streets of Whitechapel as George brought every detail of the stories behind these murders to life. I attended with my daughter on a break to London and we both loved it. The way George weaved the facts into the theatre of the stories with a dramatic slice across his throat and many little asides, was really enjoyable. We met outside Aldgate Tube Station and I was worried that because so much of Whitechapel had been redeveloped it wouldn’t be enough, but George’s passion and knack for conjuring up images sorted that. His voice was clear and he projected well to our group of 30, even with City life as a backdrop. We’d been to the Jack the Ripper Museum on Cable Street in the afternoon which was a perfect starter before this tour. Highly recommended, many thanks George.

George our tour guide was brilliant, he was passionate, knowledgeable, and made our tour interesting and exciting. We learned a lot about the area, murders and suspects. George inspired such enthusiasm in us we are still debating it a day later. We highly recommend the tour, and look forward to doing the ghost tour George was telling us about on our next visit.

You will probably have to contact the tour operator about that question. We went early evening.
