Very informative. Good background information to set the scene of the events. Pace was just right. Dougall kept us enthralled as he described the events and the speculations. Would highly recommend!

    Our tour guide, Tyson was awesome. He was super knowledgeable and very funny. Not only do you learn a lot about the crimes, but it’s also a great history lesson of 1800s London. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an interactive and learning experience!

    Fun tour. Great way to walk around London for a couple hours. Guide with personality . A little hot in summer duh

    Interesting and a good laugh!

    Femke_D, May 2026
    What a nice way to learn a bit about London's history and this spectacular story about Jack The Ripper. Tom is by far the most enthousiastic tour guide I've ever had. He has a wonderful way of telling the story and we all enjoyed his jokes.

    Bait and switch

    Paul_K, May 2026
    Beware. Trip was booked a few months ago for a 1530 tour, the night before, tour operator sent a welcome email with a now 1930 tour. They claimed there was no 1530 tour. All emails and correspondence mentioned the 1530 tour. I could not attend as we had show tickets that night and waiting on a refund from Viator. Assuming 1530 was cancelled as they probably didn’t have enough people. Would have appreciated a heads up more than the night before.

    If you want a general Ripper Tour, this is not for you.

    Andy_M, Apr 2026
    I was deeply disappointed. Being familiar with the facts of the story, and having my Son with me, who wanted to hear it for the first time, I booked a Jack the Ripper tour, not one from a view point of the victims. This would be indeed, another side of the story, but I definitely didn’t book it. The tour guide was very bubbly and extremely enthusiastic and entertaining, but gave some fundamental inaccuracies, omitted some obvious key points to the story i.e. the graffiti and the shawl in the alley despite walking past and referencing it, and a lot of what I considered fabrication to add to the story of the victims. Just pointing in the general direction and saying “the victim was murdered a few streets away in that direction” didn’t add to the general telling of the story. Thank goodness that I didn’t travel from half way across the world like the other tourists, who have gone away with not too much of a memorable Ripper Tour.

    Awesome time.

    Excellent & Entertaining

    Jessica_M, Jan 2026
    We loved it! Our guide - Kory - was excellent. He gave us a lot of extra tips, history & info about the buildings & neighborhoods we walked thru, which we all enjoyed. Kory was a great storyteller. It was an entertaining tour & took us thru a part of London we never would have explored on our own! And our guide had a very compelling theory about who Jack the Ripper was…

    Dougal was absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and really painted a very detailed picture/experience of what it would be like in the 1800s to understand the story of Jack the Ripper and the victims. Strongly recommend.

    Great Tour Led with Care and Confidence

    lucia_d, Dec 2025
    We did the Jack the Ripper tour with Hadi and he was fantastic. He greeted each of us personally at the start, which immediately set such a thoughtful, welcoming tone. He was calm, confident, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging the whole way through. The subject matter is obviously heavy, but Hadi handled it with real respect and care. Nothing felt gratuitous or sensationalized; instead, he placed everything in thoughtful historical context and invited us into the story rather than just reciting facts. He also has a lovely, subtle sense of humor that added lightness at just the right moments. The pace was perfect, the information was rich, and he made the whole experience feel both meaningful and human. Only at the end did we learn he’s relatively new — which came as a surprise given how professional and confident he is. Highly recommend touring with him!

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you, Lucia! We’re so grateful you enjoyed the tour and Hadi’s thoughtful guidance.

    Very informative tour with a knowledgeable guide that walked through the different areas in sequential order so you really got the whole story of what is known. The weather didn’t cooperate, and there were torrential downpours throughout the tour, but Tyson kept a great attitude and we still had a good time!
