Our guide was really knowledgable, animated and charasmatic. He helped the story and locations come to life. We walked away knowing more than we went started, and he even helped to change our perspective. Lots of fun, recommend for sure.

Itinerary

Meet your guide in Aldgate East, London, and set off by foot to discover the history of London’s most feared and infamous murderers—Jack the Ripper.

The tour is centered around Whitechapel, the epicentre of the ripper’s many murders in the late 19th century. While today the neighborhood is a vibrant multicultural place, Whitechapel in Jack the Ripper’s day was one of the East End’s most impoverished districts. Using handheld RIPPER-VISION™ devices, you’ll see projections of the Whitechapel streets as they were in Victorian times when the Ripper’s reign of terror took place.

After just over 1.5 hours of exploring and hearing facts and theories about the prolific serial killer, your tour ends near Spitalfields Market.

Fabulous Guide for this tour

Anonymous, Jun 2026
Tour guide was dressed in appropriate attire to look the part. He gave great history, he is an amazing story teller and great guide. The tour was a good amount of time for our group. The ending was amazing. We would suggest getting clearer pictures as they were difficult to see. The ripper vision was disappointing, but we think it was due to it being too light outside. We would highly recommend this guide as he was tremendous.

Great informative tour, lots of knowledge.

Kyle_G, Jun 2026
Big group but the guide did not miss a beat - very good tour. A bit of walking so would suggest any activity earlier in the day kept to a minimum.

Good tour

Scott_N, Jun 2026
There is a good amount of walking so be prepared. The walking is uneven ground at some points so take care. The guide was super knowledgable and the images made a big difference.

Fun walking tour

Melanie_H, Jun 2026
Great walking tour- the guide was dressed up in a suit and hat, very fitting when giving a tour about events from the 1800s. Very knowledgeable guide/Ripperologist.

Brilliant

This is a fun and great activity for true crime buffs! Our tour guide Andre was super knowledgeable, kind and funny. I loved being able to get more steps in the day with this tour and I felt the pacing was great!

JR Tour

Gina_R, Jun 2026
The best tour guide is Alan! Very friendly, knowledgeable, fun, & respectful. He knew so much of the history & was respectful to the victims!

Excellent

Pauline_M, Jun 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable as he had wrote a book and appeared on national tv discussing JR. Even though it took 2 hrs it felt more like 30mins .

Well informed guide....

Lea_R, Jun 2026
Well informed guide. Learned a lot of small details that made it feel that much more real. Was still bright out, so Ripper-Vision was difficult to see. Fun and educational thing to do in the afternoon.

Tour guide rocked

Matthew_P, Jun 2026
Our guide was so cool! He had an amazing personal connection to the murders. He was very engaging and lively.

Awesome tour

Rebecca_S, Jun 2026

Fun and historical

Denise_N, Jun 2026
A fun walking tour that puts you in 1888 East End London. Great for history lovers and visitors wanting a little more than the usual city attractions.

Super great tour!

Olivier_L, Jun 2026
The guide was invested and funny and he cared about the group experience and safety. Focused on the details of the murders too.

Good time but could have been better

Kenneth_S, Jun 2026
Tour guide was fun and informative, unfortunately the ripper vision was ineffective due to time of day and it being unable to adequately project

Great tour!

Christopher_B, Jun 2026
Really great tour! Our tour guide Sinead was amazing! Just book it! You won't be sorry! Lots of information!

Riveting Jack the Ripper tour

Chris_H, Jun 2026
This was my 4th Ripper Tour (in the last 40 years). Consistently, the Ripper Vision Tour is the best! Our guide, Rob, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour. I highly recommended this tour to anyone interested in the Ripper murders.

Really informative, and...

Michael_S, Jun 2026
Really informative, and somewhat graphic (just a warning they do show crime scene photos on this tour, but you can look away) we have always known about jack the ripper but this tour gives so much more information and it's really intriguing. Our guide was janede and she was so knowledgeable and I even found her on YouTube.

Must do for historians and Ripper enthusiasts

Mike_H, Jun 2026
First, ask if Andre is the guide. He was utterly amazing. 30 years studying Jack and has personal ties to the crimes. I won’t spoil anything. The one draw back is you can’t go to every site because of modern construction. But Andre made it work. .LOTS of walking and probably not ideal for small kids.

Great adventure

Gregory_O, May 2026
The tour requires short distance walking between historic locations. Alex came dressed for the part. Very animated in his description of the murders and how they occurred.

Julie_G, May 2026
Although the guy was very good with the history, we felt there was too much walking and not enough talking, with very long gaps in between

Ripper vision

Katherine_M, May 2026
Very interesting tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper. The Ripper vision wasn’t quite what I thought it would be, could have been because it was so light but outside. But our guide did a great job!

Nick, our guide, made the trip. Fantastic host! He is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He’s also funny and personable. Tour is pretty long.

Ripper Walk

Paula_S, May 2026
There was a lot of walking as expected. We covered a lot of ground getting to all the victims' sites. The information provided was very informative. Definitely gives you lots to think about! Well worth your time & money spent. Thank you Rob for a good night!
