Overview

Rather than just hearing about the heinous crimes of Jack the Ripper, try to solve the mystery of the serial killer’s identity on an interactive murder mystery tour in East London. With your Ripperologist guide, you’ll travel back to the foggy streets of Victorian London and visit sights in Whitechapel pertinent to the crime scenes, and visit off-the-beaten-path places that most travelers miss.
  • Explore Whitechapel and solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper's identity
  • Wander the streets after dark for an atmospheric experience
  • Get access to information you won't find in the guidebooks
  • Upgrade to a private tour for a more personalized experience

What's Included

  • Expert Ripperologist Guide
  • Interactive Detective Pack
  • Exploration of the crime scenes and access to case files
  • A victim-centric approach to storytelling and Ripper history

    Meeting and Pickup

    Meeting point

    • St Marys Whitechapel Church Memorial
      Unnamed Road, London E1 1FE, UK

      The guide will meet you at the St. Mary’s Whitechapel Church Memorial, located inside Altab Ali Park. Look out for a yellow "Carpe Diem Tours" flag or sign. We recommend arriving at least 10 minutes before the experience begins to ensure a smooth start.

    End point

    • Mitre Square, London EC3A 5DE, UK

      Our final stop is Mitre Square, where the brutal murder of Catherine Eddowes took place. The violence inflicted here stunned the city and remains one of the darkest chapters in London’s criminal history.

    A perfect evening activity

    Amit_L, Apr 2026
    We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Jack the Ripper walking tour - easily one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Tyson, was exceptional. He managed to bring the chilling history of the events to life in a way that was both deeply engaging and surprisingly entertaining. It’s not an easy balance to strike given the dark subject matter, but Tyson did it brilliantly - mixing well-researched facts with just the right touch of humor to keep the group captivated throughout. If you’re considering a Jack the Ripper tour, I can’t recommend this one - and Tyson as your guide - highly enough. Informative, atmospheric, and genuinely enjoyable.

    Such an informative and interesting tour. The tour at night really added to the intrigue and mystery of Jack the Ripper. I loved wandering through some of the older alleys, and using my imagination to think about what it would have been like back then. Out guide was great and will recommend this to future travelers .

    It is a two and a half hour walking tour. You do not return to the departure point meaning you have to orient yourself wrt your return journey. Lisa was helpful in all areas. You get a fair bit of history and a nice download of old pics and reports.

    Very interesting and informative tour. Tyson did a great job keeping it interesting. Remembered everyone’s name and information, using it to keep everyone engaged. He really knew the subject and answered everyone’s questions. But who was Jack the Ripper?

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Hi Douglas_Z, Thanks for the great review! We're so happy to hear you found our Jack the Ripper tour interesting and informative. Tyson truly is fantastic at keeping everyone engaged and knows the subject inside and out – we'll definitely pass on your compliments!

    Interesting information, good walk and friendly tour guide. Could have used some volume increase as it was difficult to hear everything she was saying all the time.
