The gentleman who gave the tour, I forget his name but he was dressed the part for sure, you are all good details and had a familial connection to the actual story

Would do this again!

Terri_B, Jun 2025

Great tour, lots of insight and history on the notorious serial killer. Area is full of pubs and night life, would book this tour again.

Encyclopaedia knowledge

peter_w, Jun 2025

This walking tour takes you around the area where the ripper murdered his victims. D. Priestly has researched and written a book on the ripper and is an excellent guide

Not quite what I expected

Edna_H, Sep 2024

I thought the streets would be more olden style. Some were cobblestone and the history is very interesting.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Sadly in the 100 years since Jack The Ripper was around : London has modernized. We have water and electric now and all the horse and carts we used to use are now replaced with Motor vehicles. Got to love the industrial revolution

Great tour

christina_s, Jul 2024

It was a great tour. We had done this tour before about 5 years ago. We received more information this time. Thank you

Jack’s Never left

Derek_D, Dec 2023

The tour was lead by an expert who has written his own book about Jack the Ripper. Very knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide

Horrible

Eli_B, Oct 2023

The tour that I signed up and paid for was not the one I received. I was at the location as advised well I advance and when your guides started calling for people I specifically asked am I at the right tour and they said yes. I paid for a smaller group tour but our group was nearly 30 people. I couldn't hear the tour guide most of the time and several times my family and I were left behind by several hundred feet. I want my money back ASAP.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

You joined the incorrect company / group....

Very Informative

CM_D, Oct 2023

Alan was an amazing guide He was very friendly, able to answer all the questions and made sure everyone could hear and see. He made sure to warn the squeamish about certain pictures.

Outstanding guide

Jason_B, Sep 2023

Our guide was absolutely outstanding and engaged with us for the whole 2 hours. We loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

Awesome

Daniel_C, Jul 2023

Excellent tour. Fun entertaining. Guide was terrific. Kept our attention the whole time - did you feel like you were back in the days of jack the ripper.

Stay away.

Robert_A, Apr 2023

Not great. Small group of 5-10 was more like 40+. Seemed shady when meeting the operator and the projector gimmick was not good. I never write reviews but terribly disappointed. I tried contacting the tour operator at the beginning and they didn’t answer.

Not as advertised

Paul_B, Mar 2023

Tour guide was focused on the royal conspiracy, didnt visit any fo the murder sites or key areas, just areas that were similar to those back in victorian times, alot of key facts and details skimmed over. Advertised as 2 hours, was finished in 1 hour.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

2 incorrect statements here 1. it lasted 2 hours 2. you visited 3 of the murder sites....

Fun tour

annmarie_d, Mar 2023

Fantastic! Rob was great and very knowledgeable. Even though it was pouring rain it was still a lot of fun!

Sociosocietal understanding of JTR story

Eric_C, Nov 2022

As someone who knew nothing about JTR, Jamie did a great job filtering out myth vs history. He also brought up sensitive social dilemmas and the need for further social reform and pro feminism movements that have made an impact but how much further we need to go. Highly recommend.

Great tour guide and...

Koyanna_W, Oct 2022

Great tour guide and visuals! Way too many people on the tour but it didn’t stop the tour from being successful. Would definitely recommend it.

Great experience with a superior storyteller

Kimberly_M, Jul 2022

This guy writes book about this stuff and is such a great storyteller! A lot of walking , but very interesting sites. We really enjoyed the tour

The tour guide was...

shani_r, Jul 2022

The tour guide was excellent. I would have preferred him answering the phone when I tried contacting him though prior to the tour.

Must do!!

Becky_M, Jul 2022

Our tour guide Mick was awesome. He literally has written the book on Jack The Ripper. The history was thoroughly explained and we were taken to the sites of all the murders. Mick also showed pictures. His knowledge and attention to detail was admirable. At the end we all gathered in one room and viewed some more slides. By far the most thorough tour I’ve ever been on.

gRipping Tour

Allison_G, Jun 2022

Excellent story telling, images and tour. Highly recommend! I'm going to be doing some research to work on creating a theory about who jack the ripper was!!

Excellent!

Susan_C, Feb 2020

Most excellent tour - very detailed and in depth information. Would absolutely recommend- lots of walking, so if that is an issue take that into consideration- but if not, it is a most excellent walking tour.

Empfehlenswert, man sollte aber sehr gut englisch können.

Katharina_K, Mar 2024

Der Führer war sehr nett und hat eine fesselnde Art, die Geschichte zu erzählen. Leider hat er oft sehr schnell gesprochen, sodass wir nicht alles verstehen konnten. Dennoch war er sehr herzlich und hat sich um die Teilnehmer der Führung gekümmert.
