Our guide Bettina was vere knowledgeable. I enjoyed finding out what the area was like in Jack the ripper's times. I found the pace was also good
Great information and a perfect way to see Whitechapel. And it was nice to do during the day instead of at night.
The Ripper is a fascinating and essential part of London history. The story in depth tells a lot about the vast, horribly impoverished underclass which inhabited London before WWII. Anybody fascinated by The Ripper stories and the grimy vision of horse-drawn, coal-fired London will want to visit this part of the East End. BUT you definitely need a guide like Bettina. The East End was heavily bombed by the Luftwaffe and then afflicted by poorly executed urban renewal thereafter. I'm not sure which catastrophe was worse. I couldn't recognize most of the streets from the Ripper histories: the notorious Dorset Street is completely gone; Flower and Dean Street was rerouted. We didn't get to visit Polly Nichols or Liz Strides' death scenes; they are too far away and unrecognizable. BUT you CAN see the ORIGINAL doorway where Annie Chapman entered and did not emerge alive. We walked down a few narrow streets and alleys which added to the atmosphere. Bettina showed us where the ultra-slummy crime scene for Mary Kelly's murder has been replaced by a plaza surrounded by steel and glass office buildings. The derelicts and prostitutes have been replaced by lawyers and insurance execs; I hate seeing a neighborhood go downhill! The Ten Bells Pub is still there but the clientele has changed. During the murders a Men's and Women's Shelter was nearby, the building is still there! Our guide, Bettina, was mostly patient with my questions and she caught me up on one of her questions, I am not a real Ripperologist. She also engaged me on a few points, on which I was previously dismissive, regarding HER favorite suspect. We'll never catch him -- or her? -- or them? -- but this was a great alternative to just reading a few books. You will also want to revisit Brick Lane just for the incredible restaurant scene, I'm sure that the corner of Brick Lane and Wentworth Street is safe enough now.
Ivan was our guide
Couldn’t ask for a better one
He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to tell the story and keep people interested
It was good visiting all the locations and I really enjoyed the day and the weather was so sunny
I would definitely do this tour again
Everyone who’s interested in Jack the Ripper and crime should do this tour
You won’t be disappointed
Takes about 2 hours
Our tour guide Ivan was great. Definitely one
I would suggest to friends and family, everyone should take the tour
There’s a lot of walking involved but it was very interesting lots of information given Bettina was very knowledgeable. Visited some really old places and was shown photographs of how areas looked back in the last 1800 hundreds
Be prepared to walk a lot without sitting and dress in layers as the weather changes. Helpful to watch documentary about Jack the Ripper.
Super interesting! The tour guide, Nic, he was very knowledgeable. And he’s “story-telling”’is superb!!!
The tour centered through London's East End centered on the 5 victims of Jack the Ripper. Jack R. did a wonderful job of imparting the stories with detail and wit.
Such a great tour that was interesting and fun. Jack R was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience really enjoyable.
It was a wonderful tour with such interesting information! I'm looking forward to further reading on the subject.
Great tour. Deep dive into the history of the Ripper murders at sites in Whitechapel and the City London. Really appreciated the details about the victims’ lives and the challenges of living in Whitechapel in the late 19th century.
The guide walked too fast for us. There was too many people to hear well. It was too long. 3 hours of walking.
Hannah was an excellent tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable, and made it a really interesting tour.
Great guide. Very interesting content . Definitely great value and worth doing if you have an afternoon free
Our guide Anna was fab! I liked that the tour was in the afternoon, so not as busy as the night ones. Easy to find. Would recommend.
