Enjoyed our tour with Nick. We ended up being the only ones who showed up but he gave us the full experience and kept us engaged the entire time. Nick presented a compelling tale on the Ripper murders and also provided interesting history about the East End. Glad we did it.

    Nick told the story in a professional, entertaining and respectful manner. He even helped us get back to the Underground. Dress warm it gets cold.

    Jack the Ripper Lives again

    Linda_M, Oct 2025
    Nick was the best Jack the Ripper tour guide! This was our 4th Jack the Ripper tour, the other 3 with a different company. His take on the events and history was quite different and very thought provoking.

    Brilliant

    Jack the Ripper tour

    Kali_M, Aug 2025
    Nick was a great guide! Informative, kind and knowledgeable about the subject. He took great care to deliver factual information. Like most history buffs, Nick loves to talk! Make sure to ask lots of great questions. I wish I was staying longer to try his other tours. Remember that it is a walking tour, you’re going to walk a lot.

    Take this tour!

    Our guide Nick was very knowledgeable on the topic and provided great insight. He found a way to involve everyone. It was a great tour and would highly recommend the tour with Nick.

    Great tour, Great guide

    David_R, Jun 2025
    We found the tour to be amazing and Nick was a stellar guide. Everything was perfect: from carrying out the activity on our preferred date even just for our group of two, to the itinerary itself and the level of knowledge of the guide, to the way he chronologically and passionately took us through the facts and places. We really had a lovely experience and Nick’s passion for knowledge and justice shone through. The tour itself and Jack the ripper are utterly fascinating already, but with a guide like him, the story really comes alive. 5 stars. We could not recommend him enough! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Highlight of the trip so...

    mary_m, May 2025
    Highlight of the trip so far Nick is a trained historian who takes a factual in victim, sympathetic approach to the tour. He's also a native of the East End, which makes him uniquely qualified to speak to the sites and locales of the crimes. He's a great storyteller, and the 2 1/2 hours flew by.

    Super sexy, handsome Nick...

    Connie_S, Apr 2025
    Super sexy, handsome Nick was awesome! He's so knowledgeable and respectful of the women who were the victims of Jack the Ripper. He 's very entertaining and also makes you think! He made sure we got safely to the tube to go back to our hotel which we were very appreciative of!

    Where are the dead bodies. He kept saying found here. We will see where the are or were!!

    April_C, Apr 2025
    It was absolutely wonderful. Nick was full of knowledge. I love that he interacted with us and wasn’t to formal.

    Lorie_F, Mar 2025

    Fun and exciting

    Andrea_P, Nov 2024
    Nick was absolutely brilliant, we enjoyed his tour very much as his knowledge of history and investigative reporting is the best there is. Nick is a brilliant and passionate historian. It exceeded all expectations!!!!

    Fun and entertaining

    Salome_V, Oct 2024
    Not only did we learn about Jack the Ripper but also learned some history. We absolutely enjoyed our experience with Nick. He was entertaining and made the whole tour fun!

    Well done informative tour

    Jeremy_M, Oct 2024
    Nick was so informative, entertaining, and chose a good angle on the already-interesting material. I would recommend this to anyone looking to see and appreciate Whitechapel while learning.

    Thanks nick (:

    Jaclyn_C, Oct 2024
    Our tour guide (Nick) was great! He was well prepared with the am iPad showing us real photographs to the stories, and he was great at communicating where to meet him and how to contact him if we couldn’t find him. Nick was theatrical and friendly and truly loved his job. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

    Engaging and Entertaining Tour Guide.

    Lonsdale19, Sep 2024
    Very knowledgeable guide who was entertaining & funny but at the same time gave good historical context for the women who were so horribly murdered. We were almost 2 hours into the tour when I first looked at my watch, it was that engrossing. Excellent value too and highly recommended.

    Highly recommended tour

    Veronika_S, Sep 2024
    Nick is a very knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide, who knows his way around the topic. I love the fact, that he focused on the victims of the Ripper who are way too often forgotten and simply written of as prostitutes. It was awesome learning about the lives these women led and the general living circumstances in the East End during that time. I learned a lot during this tour and the time went by in a breeze. I can wholeheartedly recommend his tour to everyone, who is interested in Jack the Ripper. 👏🏼 Thank you so much Nick!

    We had a great time!

    Denise_V, Sep 2024
    Nick was very knowledgeable about the era and made the tour about the women and not "who was the Ripper". Very entertaining and shared information about the neighborhood's history and growth.

    Nick was engaging, shared...

    Janet_S, Aug 2024
    Nick was engaging, shared his passion for the story, relating attitudes and conditions to the time of the murders while bringing to life the victims stories which are often lacking. Very inclusive of all mem ers of the group and worked hard to ensure everyone felt involved. I booked with my husband daughter and 2 grandchildren and we all enjoyed the evening
