What are people saying about London

Terry_F, May 2026

Best to hit it as early...

Best to hit it as early as possible. It does get crowded closer to noon. My favorite part was the ravens - they would pose for photos. Make sure you are able to climb small, confined stairs. If you are doing the self guided tour, visit the Crown Jewels first - not as crowded in the morning.

The journey both to &...

The journey both to & from Greenwich was relaxing. The crew kept us entertained with live commentary as we travelled the Thames. Greenwich had numerous attractions to keep us occupied for the day before taking the return boat trip. A large selection of eating places were available in Greenwich to chose from.

Bettina was Excellent

Be aware there are numerous tours (varying operators) at the designated meeting area so can take time to locate. Bettina was our tour guide, she was excellent, engaging and a well versed Ripperologist! She always made sure everyone was gathered before starting the talks. It was just the right number of participants too as anymore would have been too many. It was Saturday night in Whitechapel, so some areas were ‘lively’. Thank you Bettina for a great tour

Great Ghost Tour

A very welcoming and friendly guide.. our guide was very knowledgeable and provided an interesting and extremely informative tour. It was kept well to time and lots of opportunities to ask questions and take some impressive photos. Definitely dress for the weather - and know that it gets much colder when the sun goes down and there is limited shelter on the tour if it rains.. Thanks so much, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.. 👍

Wicked Westminster: The Original London Ghost walk

Cory_W, May 2026

Really fun tour

The tour was really fun and engaging. The tour guide was really good at keeping little kids engaged and answering questions for everyone including the many questions of life kids. He would also point out various places that didn't relate to the ghosts tour, but we're still very interesting to hear about. The tour guide was really good about trying to keep the group together and if people needed it slowed down or needed extra time he was more than willing to adjust the tour speed as needed. Really appreciate it if you were trying to get a couple pictures of the tour.

All you will ever need to know about Jack the Ripper!

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!

Vicki_P, Apr 2026

Beautiful and insightful.

Whether hot or cold, make sure to dress appropriately! It was a super cold night and I didn’t think to bring a scarf and dress warmly enough. Also, recommend at the front end of a trip so you see the highlights and make sure you hit the right stops. Also, Emma was a great guide that shared great insights and some awesome shopping tips.

Our host, Henry, was very informative, made sure he kept an eye on everyone, & was very funny. Henry also made sure he interacted with everyone in our group. Hubby & I enjoyed all the sites & stories. While it was very crowded ( Saturday in SoHo), Henry made sure we were able to hear him. We had a very good experience, not to mention the great beer recommendations. There were other options for other drinks besides beer.

Jack the Ripper Walking Tour in London

Jack the Ripper Walking Tour (London)

Coming from Turtle Island (America), it’s one thing to read about the history of Jack the Ripper in books, but it’s a completely different experience to actually stand in the exact locations where these events took place. Walking the streets of London gave the history a weight that you just can't get from a distance. Our guide, George, was fantastic. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and kind, but he also shared local insights passed down through his own family history. Hearing those personal connections made the stories feel much more grounded and authentic. If you're looking for a tour that balances deep historical facts with a genuine local perspective, I highly recommend this one!

Sensational Harry Potter Tour!

This was a fantastic experience in every way! Our tour guide, Arne, was absolutely wonderful! He was charming, knowledgeable and personable, totally engaging and interesting throughout the entire tour. His trivia questions were great fun, his information and presentation top notch, and the places we visited were all relevant to Harry Potter. We absolutely LOVED it and would recommend this tour - especially with Arne - to anyone! It truly made our trip special and memorable!
