Our tour guide, Tyson was awesome. He was super knowledgeable and very funny. Not only do you learn a lot about the crimes, but it’s also a great history lesson of 1800s London. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an interactive and learning experience!

Johnny was fantastic! Lots of interesting facts and information. He seemed to have a passion for the subject.

Our guide Tyson did a great job, kept us engaged. He used his skills as a professional comedian and gave us a fun 2 hours of walking tour. Yes, those murders were gruesome, so it's not a trivial job to make it an enjoyable experience.
Recommend it!

David_A, Jun 2026
The guide was good. Newer I think because he kept referring to his notes. And we did not realize the tour goes into really sketchy neighborhoods where you don’t feel very safe. The tour guides storytelling was good and very interesting but this tour was definitely a one and done.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, David, for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the storytelling and found the tour interesting. We appreciate your comments about the experience and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve our tours and guest experience.

Decent background and information, but none of the spookiness or fear I was hoping for. End of May when we did this still bright and sunny for almost the entire tour. No fear of dark alleys here.

Fun tour. Great way to walk around London for a couple hours. Guide with personality . A little hot in summer duh
Femke_D, May 2026
What a nice way to learn a bit about London's history and this spectacular story about Jack The Ripper. Tom is by far the most enthousiastic tour guide I've ever had. He has a wonderful way of telling the story and we all enjoyed his jokes.
Paul_K, May 2026
Beware. Trip was booked a few months ago for a 1530 tour, the night before, tour operator sent a welcome email with a now 1930 tour. They claimed there was no 1530 tour. All emails and correspondence mentioned the 1530 tour. I could not attend as we had show tickets that night and waiting on a refund from Viator.
Assuming 1530 was cancelled as they probably didn’t have enough people. Would have appreciated a heads up more than the night before.
Becky_H, May 2026
Elsie was amazing. She was funny and knowledgeable. I had a great time on the tour! I would definitely recommend this tour
Linda_B, May 2026

Andy_M, Apr 2026
I was deeply disappointed. Being familiar with the facts of the story, and having my Son with me, who wanted to hear it for the first time, I booked a Jack the Ripper tour, not one from a view point of the victims. This would be indeed, another side of the story, but I definitely didn’t book it. The tour guide was very bubbly and extremely enthusiastic and entertaining, but gave some fundamental inaccuracies, omitted some obvious key points to the story i.e. the graffiti and the shawl in the alley despite walking past and referencing it, and a lot of what I considered fabrication to add to the story of the victims. Just pointing in the general direction and saying “the victim was murdered a few streets away in that direction” didn’t add to the general telling of the story. Thank goodness that I didn’t travel from half way across the world like the other tourists, who have gone away with not too much of a memorable Ripper Tour.

Our tour guide, Hadi was so entertaining, engaging, and informative. We loved his enthusiasm for the history as much as his passion for storytelling.

I was a big Jack fan before this tour, but taking the tour at night made it even more fun. Our guide was funny, informative and kept us motivated on a chilly night. I enjoyed the tour and even made a few friends. Highly recommend for walkers, history buffs, and true crime junkies.

Jessica_M, Jan 2026
We loved it! Our guide - Kory - was excellent. He gave us a lot of extra tips, history & info about the buildings & neighborhoods we walked thru, which we all enjoyed. Kory was a great storyteller. It was an entertaining tour & took us thru a part of London we never would have explored on our own! And our guide had a very compelling theory about who Jack the Ripper was…
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you, Jessica! We’re so grateful you enjoyed the tour and Kory’s storytelling.
Brenton_F, Jan 2026
Dougal was absolutely fantastic, extremely knowledgeable and really painted a very detailed picture/experience of what it would be like in the 1800s to understand the story of Jack the Ripper and the victims. Strongly recommend.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you, Brenton! We’re so grateful you enjoyed the tour and Dougal’s storytelling.

We did the Jack the Ripper tour with Hadi and he was fantastic. He greeted each of us personally at the start, which immediately set such a thoughtful, welcoming tone. He was calm, confident, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging the whole way through.
The subject matter is obviously heavy, but Hadi handled it with real respect and care. Nothing felt gratuitous or sensationalized; instead, he placed everything in thoughtful historical context and invited us into the story rather than just reciting facts. He also has a lovely, subtle sense of humor that added lightness at just the right moments.
The pace was perfect, the information was rich, and he made the whole experience feel both meaningful and human. Only at the end did we learn he’s relatively new — which came as a surprise given how professional and confident he is. Highly recommend touring with him!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you, Lucia! We’re so grateful you enjoyed the tour and Hadi’s thoughtful guidance.
Erin_M, Dec 2025
