Legend of person and legend of tour!

Daimon_P, Jan 2026
Jed was outstanding! A true gentleman and a huge wealth of knowledge. Jed made the tour super engaging, fun and had us all transported back to 1888 in East London.

Accurate and respectful

Caroline_W, Aug 2025
was very interesting as you could tell the guide had done his research personally with many side facts and interactive discussions. I Had to dig a bit to find one that wasn't theatrics and gore but more historically accurate and respectful of the women murdered . Highly recommend !

This is the one you want, trust me!

Jeffrey_F, Aug 2025
This was exactly what I wanted. Facts only. No theatrics, theories and rumors discussed but not made to seem real. Rory was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was perfect!

Informative but boring.

Diane_P, Sep 2024
The tour was informative but consisted of a series of facts delivered in a very boring way. Tour leader hummed and hawed quite a bit and gave us the information in a drab monotone way. Also stood too long in one place many times.

Excellent! Highly recommend Ian!

Donna_M, Sep 2024
Being in a small group was brilliant. Ian was absolutely fabulous! He was very knowledgeable, great humour and really got us ‘in the zone’ he was happy to answer any questions and we even discussed possible suspects and had fun! It went dark during the tour - which only added to the atmosphere. Ian had a really high regard for our safety as he was mindful of where we went at one particular part. Thanks Ian! Great tour. Highly recommend.

Well worth the money

KAYE_R, Aug 2024
Jericho, our tour guide was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, happy to answer questions and engage with the group

Knowledgeable Jack the Ripper Guide

Patricia_S, Aug 2024
Ben was super informative and encouraged our questions and discussion. He allowed us to theorize and debate the topic.

Excellent guide

Kimberley_W, Jul 2024
Excellent and informative guide. Would do this tour again. Next time I am in London., despite the rain.

Interesting

Debra_M, Jun 2024
Rory, our guide was very knowledgeable and we found the trip interesting. Obviously a lot OT the sites have changed dramatically but Rory painted a good picture of the areas with his commentary, thanks Rory

Excellent Jack the Ripper guided walk

Susan_W, Jun 2024
Absolutely amazing guided walk with Harry our guide. The tour lasted a full 2 hours and we learnt so much about Jack the Ripper, the women he murdered and what life was like in 1888. Harry was so knowledgeable and was a brilliant guide.

Great experience

Joanne_B, Jun 2024

Very interesting and engaging tour. Would highly recommend. A good way to spend 2 hours in the east end

A fascinating evening

Celia_A, Feb 2024
All of it. The leader was excellent and painted the picture of what went on very well. What more can I say? It was a great evening.

Rory’s in-depth knowledge...

Fiona_D, Feb 2024
Rory’s in-depth knowledge of the rippers cases made it really interesting and encouraged the group to interact

WhiteChapel murders tour 9th Feb. 2024

Diana_H, Feb 2024
The tour guide Michael was very knowledgable on this subject and passionate about the White Chapel murders. He really brought what living for the poor was like in those times. Really enjoyed it and highly recommend to anyone visiting London.

Really good 🙌 - and Ian...

Christina_B, Jan 2024
Really good 🙌 - and Ian was a an amazing tour guide. We do recommend others to join “Jack the ripper tour”

Ripped off

Nicola_K, Jan 2024
The whole tour was confusing ….not in chronological order. The tour guide was not engaging and did not seem sure of the facts he was delivering. E.g which shoulder the intestines were on…could have been left could have been right. We left bewildered and lost as after the tour the guide left, leaving us in a different area to which we had started.

AMAZING!!!!

Charlotte_H, Jan 2024
We had a brilliant tour guide named Ben who was absolutely amazing! 100% could not recommend enough, he knew so much and was very respectful talking about quiet a difficult subject. Incredibly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble.

Real story came alive

David_B, Dec 2023
Great experience, we would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was very informative and enthusiastic. We did this tour before and is ours second time. The only thing we missed were pictures of the murder victims at the scene.

Interesting

Angela_E, Dec 2023
Harry was a most informative guide and really brought the history of Jack the Ripper to light. Would definitley recommend.

Frank and respectful

Jean_A, Dec 2023
This was absent of all bells and whistles. This was a frank and historicaly detailed tour that was at all times respectful of not only the victims but of the people on the tour also. Our tour guide was Konstantine and he was so interesting you could almost forget how cold it was. A phenomenal experience and nothing like I expected. A must for anyone who loves history. Price was also very reasonable for what we got out of it.

Jack the Ripper on Halloween

Nancy_L, Nov 2023
Really enjoyed the entire experience. Jericho was a great guide and it was a wonderful way to spend a spooky Halloween

Excellent

Kerri_G, Oct 2023
Most entertaining, informative and fun despite the weather. Knowledgeable guide, bringing the story to life with respect to the victims.

Interesting walk

Sharon_D, Oct 2023
The guide spoke well, he was very clear and interesting, there were a couple of small mistakes and a few things were omitted, I realise that as we only had two hours there wasn't enough time to cover everything

A Must Tour

Raylene_B, Oct 2023
When in London, you absolutely must take a Jack the Ripper tour. Our tour guide was very passionate about the story and sharing his knowledge. It was fun to walk around at night and see the sights that he was talking about. I marked it down one star because it was difficult to hear him at times, especially when there were other tours around or traffic. We've taken other Ripper tours, and they used headsets so you could hear the guide better, this would have been a good addition.

Lovely!!!!

RhondaAndRob_B, Sep 2023
Jericho was lovely, it was an informative , fun tour! We highly recommend ! Well done! The crowd had several questions that were promptly and knowledgeably answered- a real good time!

Excellent tour guide....

John_D, Sep 2023
Excellent tour guide. Humerous, had a very nice manner. Full of information. We were staggered to learn about the extreme poverty in the 1880s.
