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.

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.

First, ask if Andre is the guide. He was utterly amazing. 30 years studying Jack and has personal ties to the crimes. I won’t spoil anything. The one draw back is you can’t go to every site because of modern construction. But Andre made it work. .LOTS of walking and probably not ideal for small kids.

This is an amazing tour! We have actually done it a couple times, each time we visit with new people.
Kaleb_N, May 2026
Fun night out! Aside from learning the details of the Jack the Ripper murders we got a tour of parts of London with local insight.
Stephanie_M, May 2026
A terrific and engaging tour! Our guide was excellent. Wear good walking shoes! Brimg your friends. 😊
Gregory_O, May 2026
The tour requires short distance walking between historic locations. Alex came dressed for the part. Very animated in his description of the murders and how they occurred.
Julie_G, May 2026
Although the guy was very good with the history, we felt there was too much walking and not enough talking, with very long gaps in between
Katherine_M, May 2026
Very interesting tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper. The Ripper vision wasn’t quite what I thought it would be, could have been because it was so light but outside. But our guide did a great job!
Andrew_F, May 2026
Wear comfy shoes and dress appropriately tour takes about 2hrs with a fair bit of walking
Friendly knowledgeable guide who was very approachable.
Gregory_C, May 2026
Was a very fun and informative tour. Highly recommend and would do it again. Our guide was fantastic
Jeffrey_R, May 2026
Nick, our guide, made the trip. Fantastic host! He is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. He’s also funny and personable. Tour is pretty long.
Paula_S, May 2026
There was a lot of walking as expected. We covered a lot of ground getting to all the victims' sites. The information provided was very informative. Definitely gives you lots to think about! Well worth your time & money spent. Thank you Rob for a good night!
Heidi_M, May 2026

danny_w, May 2026
The tour was great. Tour guide Rob was awesome. He was very informative and knowledgeable and VERY interactive with the group. The projector pics brought a more personal feel to the tour with the actual photos . Would definitely recommend

Make the time to do this tour. If you’re into learning about history and crime, this is for you. An easy walking tour.
Jackee_W, May 2026

Jacqueline_P, May 2026
This was THE COOLEST tour ever!! Andre was an amazing guide, very enthusiastic, friendly and knowledgeable! If I’m ever back in London, I’d do the tour again!
William_A, May 2026
Mick was extremely knowledgible on the ripper topic. The video/picture section at the end in the bar where one of the victim left was good.
The downfall of the tour is that time has removed 99% of the tangibles....nothing seems to be preserved by the historians for the tour.... new buildings and streets over old. Great story telling though. Come prepaied to walk.
Jeffrey_C, May 2026
Very informative and interesting. The projector was a nice touch and really neat. Lots of walking just FYI.
Michael_C, May 2026
The projector definitely adds to the presentation. Alan was great guide.
....Why does the Viator app require a minimum number of characters??
Janice_O, Apr 2026
Mick, our tour guide, has the most phenomenal knowledge regarding all aspects of Jack the Ripper. He has even written a book on the subject. He gave us an enlightening overview of the gruesome murders, which was highlighted with actual printed pictures and even digital slides provided by a portable overhead projector! We learned so much on this subject, and highly recommend Mick!
Tracey_P, Apr 2026
Very informative. Mick knew much about Jack the Ripper and you could tell he enjoyed telling us about it.
Kirsten_E, Apr 2026
This tour was amazing!! The guide was so funny and knowledgeable (he's written 2 books on Jack the Ripper so he really knows his stuff) it was an easy walk, no hills or steps. I really liked the 'ripper vision' where they showed old photos! I would 100% recommend this tour, and if anyone else asked me to go I would go again!
Steven_R, Apr 2026
Was interesting to me. But I can see how it might not be for everyone. A fair amount of walking in and out of a neighborhood that maybe isn't the strongest. Didn't bother me, but I could see how it might for some.
James_D, Apr 2026
It is an entertaining and informative walk through the murders of Jack the Ripper. The guide was very good.
Sean_B, Apr 2026
So much fun! My wife and I went on this tour earlier this week. Our tour guide, Rob, was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone had such a great time. I learned so many details about one of the most infamous serial killers of all time and had fun doing it. Rob’s use of a projector really brought everything to life. I can’t recommend this enough—go see Rob!
Jocelyn_C, Apr 2026
Nice walking tour with information on Jack the Ripper. The little projector was neat as is allowed the tour guide, Peter, to show images and pictures. He also used an iPad. A nice pace and covered some good ground. We enjoyed this tour. We didn’t know much about Jack so if you are an expert, this tour may be a little too elementary for you unless you are just interested in seeing the sights, etc.

A lot of walking but relatively flat. The guide does a great job ensuring you can safely cross busy streets. Our guide was Rob and he was great. The photos were very helpful to remind you of actual conditions and people.
