Really interesting tour...

Barb_J, May 2026
Really interesting tour and stories about Jack the Ripper. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen too

Very Interesting: Creepy, Sad, & Funny all at Once

Aaron_J, Apr 2026
George, our guide was very knowledgeable about all the details, rumors, & conspiracy theories surrounding the Jack the Ripper murders. Also, it's walking tour on cobblestone so wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

Jack the Ripper Walking Tour (London)

Jessenia_R, Apr 2026
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!

So much fun!

Haley_M, Apr 2026
My daughter and I absolutely loved this Jack the Ripper Tour. Our guide, George, was phenomenal--he knew so much history, not only about Jack the Ripper--but also about London, in general. He was an excellent storyteller, and encouraged questions and conversation. After the tour, he actually walked us to our tube stop to make sure we got there safely. I 100% recommend this tour if you're in London, especially if you can have George as your guide.

Fun and learned a lot....

Michael_W, Apr 2026
Fun and learned a lot. George was amazing as a guide and teacher. George painted a vivid picture of life in the 1800s and how scary this time was with a serial killer on the loose

Great way to learn and be entertained

Brilliant Jack the Ripper tour

Anita_Q, Nov 2025
Totally enjoyed the Jack the Ripper tour. It was just long enough 1&half hrs. We probably only walked for half of that as stopped about 5 times so George could talk to us. George was brill, friendly & knew his stuff, also spoke loud & clear, would recommend his tour.

Brilliant

We booked this tour very last minute and I’m so glad we did, it was a great way to spend an evening in London. George was an incredible guide - so engaging, he really knew his stuff and helped bring it to life.

George - best your guide for this experience

MaryJo_W, Nov 2025
Wear walking shoes and plan to have a good time learning all about Jack the Ripper and his victims. Sounds morbid but it’s truly fascinating. Our tour guide, George, was the best! We could see and hear other tours happening and it was apparent, George knows his stuff. Loud voice too so everyone in group could easily hear and understand him.

Fantastic Tour

Robert_G, Oct 2025
Was on this tour last night, and can say it was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. A special shout out to George, our tour guide who was very informative and made the experience extra special. If you are interested in anything related to Jack the Ripper, I would highly recommend this tour the next time you're in London.

Highly recommended

Who was Jack the Ripper?

Susan_H, Sept 2025
It was interesting to visit the sites where the individual murders were discovered, in spite of the fact that London is much changed. Our guide was great with the commentary and injecting drama into the story.
