It's a history tour

Abbie_R, May 2025
This was a history tour not a Ghost or Jack the Ripper Tour. Our guide was excellent but we were rebooked from a ghost tour so we're a little disappointed in that regard.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you, Abbie. We’re glad you enjoyed the guide, though we’re sorry for the mix-up. We appreciate your feedback!
