Thrilling story with pictures

MarianMcNeil, Sep 2026
Great small group tour. Pictures, stories and a different side of london. Lots of walking could almost feel the London of 1888. Plenty of time for questions and saw parts of both the London of yesterday and today. Starts and ends near tube stations so transportation not an issue.

What a fabulous...

Amanda_H, Apr 2026
What a fabulous experience. We were lucky enough to have the other bookings at our time slot cancel, so we got a private tour! Jack was exceptional. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, and even kept my very ADHD daughter entertained for the entire 2 hours (she is still gushing about it). We are so glad we started our trip with this experience - it has set the tone for an amazing time!!!

Excellent, small group tour with theatrics

Catherine_S, Mar 2026
Excellent tour. Our guide (also named jack) was very knowledgable. This was one of the only small group tours that included theatrics as our guide dressed up in character. There were a few other tours at the same time, all with 30+ people - ours was small and intimate and we were able to ask questions and follow along with the guide easily.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Catherine and thank you so much for your review of our humble little jaunt down the dark alleyways of the history of Jack the Ripper. You do indeed see quite a few other JtR tours with 30 plus attending. We pride ourselves on limiting our tour, even if filled to capacity, to a maximum of just 25, with most nights running happily with just a dozen attendees. Kind regards Dr Blood

Jack Time

Our guide Sam was very knowledgeable with theatrical poise. We wandered through a number of murder sites which have changed greatly since the late 1800’s however with the aid of pictures and story telling we were able to visualise.
