Jacqueline_P, May 2026
This was THE COOLEST tour ever!! Andre was an amazing guide, very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable! If I’m ever back in London, I’d do the tour again!
William_A, May 2026
Mick was extremely knowledgible on the ripper topic. The video/picture section at the end in the bar where one of the victim left was good.
The downfall of the tour is that time has removed 99% of the tangibles....nothing seems to be preserved by the historians for the tour.... new buildings and streets over old. Great story telling though. Come prepaied to walk.
Jeffrey_C, May 2026
Very informative and interesting. The projector was a nice touch and really neat. Lots of walking just FYI.
Michael_C, May 2026
The projector definitely adds to the presentation. Alan was great guide.
....Why does the Viator app require a minimum number of characters??

Mick, our tour guide, has the most phenomenal knowledge regarding all aspects of Jack the Ripper. He has even written a book on the subject. He gave us an enlightening overview of the gruesome murders, which was highlighted with actual printed pictures and even digital slides provided by a portable overhead projector! We learned so much on this subject, and highly recommend Mick!
Tracey_P, Apr 2026
Very informative. Mick knew much about Jack the Ripper and you could tell he enjoyed telling us about it.
Kirsten_E, Apr 2026
This tour was amazing!! The guide was so funny and knowledgeable (he's written 2 books on Jack the Ripper so he really knows his stuff) it was an easy walk, no hills or steps. I really liked the 'ripper vision' where they showed old photos! I would 100% recommend this tour, and if anyone else asked me to go I would go again!
Steven_R, Apr 2026
Was interesting to me. But I can see how it might not be for everyone. A fair amount of walking in and out of a neighborhood that maybe isn't the strongest. Didn't bother me, but I could see how it might for some.
James_D, Apr 2026
It is an entertaining and informative walk through the murders of Jack the Ripper. The guide was very good.
Sean_B, Apr 2026
So much fun! My wife and I went on this tour earlier this week. Our tour guide, Rob, was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had such a great time. I learned so many details about one of the most infamous serial killers of all time and had fun doing it. Rob’s use of a projector really brought everything to life. I can’t recommend this enough—go see Rob!
Jocelyn_C, Apr 2026
Nice walking tour with information on Jack the Ripper. The little projector was neat as is allowed the tour guide, Peter, to show images and pictures. He also used an iPad. A nice pace and covered some good ground. We enjoyed this tour. We didn’t know much about Jack so if you are an expert, this tour may be a little too elementary for you unless you are just interested in seeing the sights, etc.

A lot of walking but relatively flat. The guide does a great job ensuring you can safely cross busy streets. Our guide was Rob and he was great. The photos were very helpful to remind you of actual conditions and people.
Ruth_M, Apr 2026
Walk thru area of East London where Jack the Ripper killed 5 women. Knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide.
Daniel_S, Apr 2026
Rob our tour guide was very informative ref Jack the Ripper and the five murders . He was entertaining and the weather was perfect . Over all great experience
Nick_S, Apr 2026
Peter knew the subject and with the aid of the visuals offered an informative walk around Whitechapel and the City.
Andrew_W, Apr 2026
The meeting point was easy to find and we started on time. The group was quite large 20 or so, the guide was easy to understand and informative. The interactive projector show was clear to see and at times gruesome, however, we were warned in advance by the guide. It was interesting walking around modern day London taking about Victorian murders and speculating on who Jack he Ripper was! Our group were drawn into this mystery for a few hours and we really enjoyed it.
Jessica_M, Apr 2026
Rob was amazing! I really enjoyed the way he told the stories about the victims, along with possible suspects and threw in some English history as well. The projection images really helped to imagine what Victorian London looked like and helped to set the scene. Rob also was able to throw in some humor with the really grim subject matter. I really enjoyed this tour, and it was one of my part things about our visit to London!
Jessica_K, Apr 2026
Started out a little slow and odd - he didn't introduce himself until the first stop. But got great from there. Loved it!
John_C, Apr 2026
Scar was very entertaining and really put on a good show. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a good ghost show and a bus ride around London!
Kym_J, Apr 2026
Very knowledgeable guide, obviously knew his facts and delivered the tour in a very professional way. Would highly recommend
nina_f, Apr 2026
Really interesting, our tour guide Peter was very knowledgeable, polite & friendly with our large group checking we could all hear & see.
Barry_H, Mar 2026
Really interesting and well informed tour guide. Peter made the experience come alive. I’d recommend to anyone with an interest in Londons history and particularly the unsolved murders committed by The Ripper.
Daniela_R, Mar 2026
