The tour is centered around Whitechapel, the epicentre of the ripper’s many murders in the late 19th century. While today the neighborhood is a vibrant multicultural place, Whitechapel in Jack the Ripper’s day was one of the East End’s most impoverished districts.

After just over 1.5 hours of exploring and hearing facts and theories about the prolific serial killer, your tour ends near Spitalfields Market.

Great tour and guide was great. Would have liked some places to sit and listen and it was difficult to hear the guide at times. But loved the research that went into the murders, suspects, and victims and our guide was excellent.

Chantise was awesome! She was so engaging, funny, and made the experience fun! She used means of photography, projector and simply taking us by all the historical sights and steps of the victims and Jack the Ripper!
Cheryl_D, Aug 2026
Tour guide was poor at engaging with the group. Some members left before the end of the tour.
Felt rushed and information repeated throughout.
Expectations were high due to reading reviews; definitely disappointed with the whole experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Sorry to hear you did not enjoy the tour. However are you sure you were on our tour? We note you haven’t mentioned anything about the Ripper Vision projectors which most reviews comment on. There are many tour in london doing Jack the Ripper but we are the only ones to use expert guides and authors and Ripper Vision.
All our guides are engaging and captivating which is why we are consistently voted number 1 Jack the Ripper tour in London.
Can double check your tickets to make sure you have left the review in the correct location and if not contact us and we will guide you to where to leave the review
Thanks

Fantastic experience with a knowledgeable guide. Rob was superb. There was a little confusion as to the meeting point. But we soon found the group with the help of the boss who answer the number quickly on Viator. Rob not only caught us up but really engaged the whole family in the experience, not always easy with our 13yr old son. We strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in Jack from those that know nothing to mature sleuths looking to widen their experience.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and presented the facts in addition to his own opinion of who Jack the Ripper is! I enjoyed his discussion greatly.
kaitlyn_o, Jul 2026
Our tour guide was so well-spoken, we clearly heard everything he was saying. it was such a neat experience and you get an amazing quick view of whitechapel!
ripper-vision is fun, too. i loved that what we were shown was able to be seen by everyone!
Debbie_R, Jul 2026
Very detailed information about 5 murders and the likely suspects. Rob was our guide and he was a wealth of information. He was able to project his voice and engaged well
Cheryl_E, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Sinead was amazing!!!!! She was so animated and gave so many details. Put everything in historical context and stressed the victims' lives too. I initially thought the Ripper vision sounded kind of hokey but it was very good - pictures relative to the story, just like a slide show. The Whitechapel area is full of Ripper tours, and she was great at speaking loudly and keeping our group apart from the others. May be a little intense for younger ones.
Michelle_G, Jul 2026
Sinead was an excellent tour guide! Great knowledge and story telling skills. Highly recommend the tour.
Ryerson_W, Jul 2026
Great information on Jack the ripper but not a scary or themed tour. The Guide was in regular clothing, bright atmosphere and used the ripper vision minimally, however it did provide useful context. Lots of walking and standing at the end of the day had most participants sitting in the ground. It would have been really nice to stop at one of the pubs that was frequented by The ripper victims for the time period like the “Ten Bells pub”. Overall could use some more theme and experience other than information.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. It was a fun way to learn some history and explore a few neighborhoods at the same time. Our whole group loved it.
William_W, Jul 2026
Rob is an awesome guide. He knows this subject very well and has published a book about it aslo. Only issue—which was beyond his control—was there were so many other Ripper tours going on that it got to be a little crowded at all the different murder sites. There is a lot of ground to cover on this tour so make sure you have good shoes and bring along something to drink.
Sandra_B, Jul 2026
Fantastic tour ! Tour guide was very informative.
I loved the projector showing relevant information at the locations of the murders .
Totally recommend for any true crime fans .
Niamh_W, Jul 2026
Easy to find location
Great tour guide
Subject knowledge was excellent and very informative
He engaged with everyone on the tour
NANCY_M, Jul 2026
Lots of walking. This outing is geared toward adults due to the photos that are shown. Warnings are given before they are displayed. Mick was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and hospitable. He has studied this subject extensively and it comes through in the tour. If you want to know more about Jack the Ripper I would definitely recommend this tour.
Thomas_K, Jul 2026
Very interesting and informative tour along the original crime scenes. Our guide (sorry for not remembering his name) had profound knowledge of the case, which he presented in an entertaining way. Time just flew by. Thanks for this experience. I‘d definitely recommend it.
JOHN_J, Jul 2026
Excellent experience with a knowledgeable and personable guide. Early in the tour he was not able to use the projector to show images as the sun was too bright but had a book of photos as backup. Some photos would probably be upsetting for children and even some adults (he did prewarn when these were about to be shown so you could look away). Overall a very enjoyable experience.
Alda_S, Jul 2026
A good tour for people visiting London and interested in the murders of Jack the Ripper. There is a fair amount of walking, but it is well paced and the guide waited for everyone. The guide was very knowledgeable, added photos and ripper-vision to show photos from the times of the murder and described how the area was like in 1888.
Yvonne_F, Jul 2026
The tour was excellent, the guide very knowledgeable I feel he went over and above. However the group was too large which made it difficult to move through the streets , the guide did he’s very best to deal with such a large group !
Gregory_P, Jul 2026
This was a great tour and very informative. Andre’s knowledge and passion on the subject matter was easily apparent!
Mandie_P, Jul 2026
Very interesting and exciting. Our tour guide was very engaging. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is interested in true crime.
Steve_H, Jun 2026
This was an amazing experience Sinead was incredible! So knowledgable about the area and the history of Jack the Ripper. She was also so fun and engaging made the tour very exciting!
ANNIE_F, Jun 2026
Excellent tour, highly recommend! Our guide kept us engaged the whole time and we learned a lot. So much fun!

Tour guide was dressed in appropriate attire to look the part. He gave great history, he is an amazing story teller and great guide. The tour was a good amount of time for our group. The ending was amazing. We would suggest getting clearer pictures as they were difficult to see. The ripper vision was disappointing, but we think it was due to it being too light outside. We would highly recommend this guide as he was tremendous.
Kyle_G, Jun 2026
Big group but the guide did not miss a beat - very good tour.
A bit of walking so would suggest any activity earlier in the day kept to a minimum.
Scott_N, Jun 2026
There is a good amount of walking so be prepared. The walking is uneven ground at some points so take care. The guide was super knowledgable and the images made a big difference.
Melanie_H, Jun 2026
Great walking tour- the guide was dressed up in a suit and hat, very fitting when giving a tour about events from the 1800s. Very knowledgeable guide/Ripperologist.
Nancy_T, Jun 2026
Excellent tour. Worth it coming over from West end. Our guide paced his presentation very well so when he was done we were totally surprised. Highly recommend.Do it!!
Linda_M, Jun 2026
Our guide was really knowledgable, animated and charasmatic. He helped the story and locations come to life. We walked away knowing more than we went started, and he even helped to change our perspective. Lots of fun, recommend for sure.
Eric_P, Jun 2026
This is a fun and great activity for true crime buffs! Our tour guide Andre was super knowledgeable, kind and funny. I loved being able to get more steps in the day with this tour and I felt the pacing was great!
