See the spots where some murders took place as you discover both facts and theories behind this long-cold case.

A walk that we will not forget!

Caroline_P, May 2025
It was a very nice walk in the neighborhood where Jack the Ripper ran rampant. Our guide Matt was excellent and knows his subject. They gave us a host of interesting details he also had pictures and anecdotes about the surroundings. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves history and truecrime.
