Jed was a fabulous tour guide, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot. Would definitely recommend.
Jed was very informative and personable . We really enjoyed the tour and have a better understand the issues of the times
Ben was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. I would highly recommend this tour. Interesting discussion before, during and after the tour.
I just got back from a Jack the Ripper tour, and it was awesome! Our guide was a blast—super fun and really engaging. He knew everything about the case and shared some fascinating details, but what I really appreciated was how he focused on the victims and their stories instead of glorifying Jack.
You could tell he was genuinely passionate about what he was sharing. The tour didn’t feel rushed at all, but somehow, the time just flew by! If you’re thinking about taking a tour like this, I wholeheartedly recommend it. You won’t regret it!
The Jack the Ripper tour was very interesting. I really enjoyed the stories of the people involved and seeing where they lived. It did give the history of what happened new life to me. My heart definitely goes out to the victims.
Lots of facts and theories about The Ripper and life in Victorian London. Walking in the dark added to the experience when trying to imagine life back then.
Jed was an amazing guide, very respectful towards the victims and their deaths and was very knowledgeable about the area and topic.
My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the Jack the Ripper tour. Our guide Constantine was very informative and passionate about the details and history. We would highly recommend.
It was very interesting . Thorough and informative .
The guide was enthusiastic and knew his subject
The streets were spooky and dark, so one could imagine being there in 1888.
This tour has great reviews and my friends had raved about it, but this was one of the most unengaging tours I've been on. Unfortunately, our guide didn't really have the 'story-telling' ability. He focused purely on dates and names and details (to excess), but he didn't really discuss the lore, the theories, cultural landscape, police response, etc. He didn't seem to really like questions and didn't have a read on the crowd (asked us zero questions, no engagement on where we are from like most guides). It felt like this job is for him to have a platform to talk at people rather than educate. Three people dropped from the tour (including 1 of my friends). The guide (Chris) didn't really have a handle on the timing either - people were checking their watches as we were overtime and not near the end yet. My friends and I ended up sharing information after the fact and learned more.
It was very interesting Chris pitched it all just right and created the atmosphere as we walked around and learned the stories of victims and associated history of the area. Fascinating.
Would be nice to have a drink after and meet other folks on tour, perhaps in the 10 Bells pub! You could include as additional to tour?
We had a well-informed tour guide named Jericho (I think). The group was a fine size, not too big.
Her presented several "theories" about the murderer.
Rory was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable, and gave us loads of random facts and general history. Thank you
Was a lot of fun. Great history lesson and nice way to see old parts of London. Very interesting hearing about theories of a guy never caught.
Rory was quite informative and intelligent. We learned a lot more about Jack the Ripper than we expected.
Don't trust this tour company. Completely dropped the ball. No reply to messages.....offered another tour tomorrow...with a broken web link
Jericho was a great guide. Very interesting tour on the east side learning about one of the city’s darkest stories.
Really informative tour. Rory knows his stuff. Smaller groups than other similar tours we saw, which made it much better. Great way to see this part of London too. Tour would be even better if you did it in winter darkness, for added atmosphere and authenticity!
Great guy and great storyteller. Very respectful of the women of the story. On time and on point. So happy to have chosen this tour.
It was interesting and Rory was a wonderful guide. But so much has changed that it is difficult to visualize. Also the area is somewhat rough as we witnessed a group beating and chasing a man during the tour.
Great guide and learnt loads from him brilliant experience
Good to here about the victims and accused, it's a shame there isn't bits you can see from how it would of actually looked like
Constantine our guide was just full of facts. Friendly, knowledgeable with many illustrations as well.
Just a great guide. Highly recommend!
Ian gave an amazing tour and was knowledgeable about all of the victims and surrounding events. I also loved how he took time to set the scene of London at that time. He was personable and very funny. I also enjoyed that we had a small group of only 4 people. I would 100% recommend this tour.
The tour guide was very informative and has obviously spent a lot of time researching Jack the Ripper
We went where instructed and no one showed up!
The walk never happened-a scam!
We were two old Ladies at night alone because no one showed up for this supposed experience.
Standing at the sites of the murders
was interesting: Though of course the city has now built up around the areas
Couldn’t stay till the end, but tour was a little slow moving
Some details could probably be dropped or condensed
Rory was a plethora of Jack the Ripper information, we really enjoyed walking the streets Whitechapel listening to the tales of the murders. 3 sites were visited as the other 2 were too far to walk to.
We had a great learning experience with Rory (sorry if spelling is wrong) it was a 2 hour time travel back to 1880s. Guide was very knowledgeable and explained well about London history as well as Jack the Ripper. I knew why people called him Jack “the ripper” and use the word “hang over”
I didn’t really know much about the history of Jack the Ripper. Our tour guide Rory was great! He went through the history of the area at the time, the timeline of the murders and the suspects. It’s definitely made me more excited to do my own research.
Fascinating storytelling by our guide, Rory. Very informative. The pace of the tour was fine, just wish it started later as I think nighttime would give the tour a better feel as to what it would have been like in 1888.
