Ashley_H, Jun 2026

Would take this tour again!

This was a great tour! We had two kids (11 and 14) who enjoyed it and it kept their attention. The guide was so good at keeping everyone engaged with a mix of history and stories. We would suggest this tour for anyone who likes hearing all the gruesome details!

A fantastic evening

Nick was a great guide! Book this if you want a fact-filled experience along with some charm and humour along the way. I'd highly recommend this especially if you're more interested in the historical aspects of the Jack the Ripper events rather than theatrics. Highly recommend this tour!

The History Beneath the Surface

Besides being very informative, it was an interesting walk through parts of London. Our guide, Cathy, was a delightful storyteller and made all the stops come alive! I don’t think I will ever look at any old building quite the same again. I will always be wondering “what’s the story behind (or underneath) this?”

A perfect evening activity

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Jack the Ripper walking tour - easily one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Tyson, was exceptional. He managed to bring the chilling history of the events to life in a way that was both deeply engaging and surprisingly entertaining. It’s not an easy balance to strike given the dark subject matter, but Tyson did it brilliantly - mixing well-researched facts with just the right touch of humor to keep the group captivated throughout. If you’re considering a Jack the Ripper tour, I can’t recommend this one - and Tyson as your guide - highly enough. Informative, atmospheric, and genuinely enjoyable.

Greg rocked this tour!

Greg was fantastic! On time, friendly and so very knowledgeable! He not only knew everything about the tour route... he also knew about the random things we asked about! As the Bard wrote, "Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven"... Greg absolutely gave us wings! Highly recommended!

Gangster Tour of London’s East End Led by Actor Vas Blackwood

Kellie_A, Oct 2025

Fantastic!

This is a great tour in the heart of Krayland, and focuses on their life and activities in the Whitechapel/Bethnal Green area. It starts in the famous Blind Beggar pub which is a nice touch. It then goes outside the pub for a long talk ( I did feel this could be shrunk a bit) and then encompasses a walk around the area, including Vallance Road and other key places that featured in The Krays life. It ends in Shoreditch, about a half an hour walk from the starting point so check you know how to get back from there. Vas Blackwood is an engaging, funny and incredibly informative guide. I read some other reviews that complained of too much swearing. This is gangster London, if you don't like swearing then go on the Harry Potter tour! Vas was constantly interupted by passers by, as he is a known face, and one guy completely hijacked one point, during which I ha to take a few photos of him and Vas. But, Vas deals with it professionally and kindly, acknowledging the person but swiftly moving them on. He is a great guy and although the booking says 2 hours it was in fact 3 in the end. Loved it, thank you Vas!

London Serial Killers - The Blood and Tears Walk

Sarah_C, Sep 2025

A walk through the dark history of London

I loved this tour! I adore true crime and the stories behind them. This tour was a walk backwards into the dark side of London’s history. As a true crime fan, I thought I knew a lot about the UKs serial killers. But this tour opened my eyes to ones I’ve never heard of before. Standing at the sights were murders have occurred and places that London’s killers frequented was a great experience. Declan’s telling of the stories really draws you in and puts you in the past and into the minds of the depraved murderers of London. Highly recommend this tour for any true crime fans

Caroline_W, Aug 2025

Accurate and respectful

was very interesting as you could tell the guide had done his research personally with many side facts and interactive discussions. I Had to dig a bit to find one that wasn't theatrics and gore but more historically accurate and respectful of the women murdered . Highly recommend !
