George is a phenomenal storyteller. I looked up more info after the tour and it sounds like there is another strong candidate with some DNA evidence. I was a little disappointed this wasn’t brought up but not sure if he’s given a script to follow? Anyhoo, it’s a good time nonetheless. Recommend.

We booked this tour not really knowing what to expect and it turned out to be one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. Our guide, George, was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the time fly by with stories not just about Jack The Ripper, but of other crimes and general London history. Most “ghost story” tours get a bit redundant and slow but George was a true storyteller and even accomplished the amazing feet of keeping the attention of our 2 teenagers. We knew very little about Jack The Ripper other than the name but left with a genuine interest in the story and history. Top notch!

Really fun and insightful! Our guide was incredibly energetic and engaging! Informative, presented with detail, and a fun way to kick off an early London evening!

George was an excellent guide. You can tell he is very interested in Jack the Ripper and trying to figure out who he might have been. He kept our interest the whole time. Definitely give this tour an A+.

He was fantastic! Loads of knowledge, great stories, very interactive, and funny. He made the experience feel authentic. I think the butcher did it!

The tour guide, George was awesome! He’s very knowledgeable and spoke very well and was always very receptive about questions. He’s also gave everyone directions on how to get home from the ending point. Thank you so much! So much fun!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen too

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.

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!

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. 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
Jeff_C, Mar 2026
Entertaining and informative. Great mix of London history and the gory details of the story. Entertaining weaving of the theories together. George was very generous with his time, knowledgeable about the subject, and very engaging and informative.

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.
Katherine_S, Nov 2025
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.
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.
