Itinerary
Meet your guide in Aldgate East, London, and set off by foot to discover the history of London’s most feared and infamous murderers—Jack the Ripper.
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. Using handheld RIPPER-VISION™ devices, you’ll see projections of the Whitechapel streets as they were in Victorian times when the Ripper’s reign of terror took place.
After just over 1.5 hours of exploring and hearing facts and theories about the prolific serial killer, your tour ends near Spitalfields Market.

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.

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.

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

Mandie_P, Jul 2026

ANNIE_F, Jun 2026

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!
Gina_R, Jun 2026
The best tour guide is Alan! Very friendly, knowledgeable, fun, & respectful. He knew so much of the history & was respectful to the victims!
Pauline_M, Jun 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable as he had wrote a book and appeared on national tv discussing JR. Even though it took 2 hrs it felt more like 30mins .
Lea_R, Jun 2026
Well informed guide. Learned a lot of small details that made it feel that much more real. Was still bright out, so Ripper-Vision was difficult to see. Fun and educational thing to do in the afternoon.
Matthew_P, Jun 2026
Our guide was so cool! He had an amazing personal connection to the murders. He was very engaging and lively.
Rebecca_S, Jun 2026
This tour was awesome! M.P was so knowledgeable of the events that took place and the history of the area. We were entertained the whole time and loved the tour! Highly suggest you take this tour!
Denise_N, Jun 2026
A fun walking tour that puts you in 1888 East End London. Great for history lovers and visitors wanting a little more than the usual city attractions.
Olivier_L, Jun 2026
The guide was invested and funny and he cared about the group experience and safety. Focused on the details of the murders too.
Kenneth_S, Jun 2026
Tour guide was fun and informative, unfortunately the ripper vision was ineffective due to time of day and it being unable to adequately project
Christopher_B, Jun 2026
Really great tour! Our tour guide Sinead was amazing! Just book it! You won't be sorry! Lots of information!
Chris_H, Jun 2026
This was my 4th Ripper Tour (in the last 40 years). Consistently, the Ripper Vision Tour is the best! Our guide, Rob, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He made the tour. I highly recommended this tour to anyone interested in the Ripper murders.
Michael_S, Jun 2026
Really informative, and somewhat graphic (just a warning they do show crime scene photos on this tour, but you can look away) we have always known about jack the ripper but this tour gives so much more information and it's really intriguing. Our guide was janede and she was so knowledgeable and I even found her on YouTube.
