Totally enjoyed the Jack the Ripper tour. It was just long enough 1&half hrs. We probably only walked for half of that as stopped about 5 times so George could talk to us. George was brill, friendly & knew his stuff, also spoke loud & clear, would recommend his tour.

George - best your guide for this experience

MaryJo_W, Nov 2025
Wear walking shoes and plan to have a good time learning all about Jack the Ripper and his victims. Sounds morbid but it’s truly fascinating. Our tour guide, George, was the best! We could see and hear other tours happening and it was apparent, George knows his stuff. Loud voice too so everyone in group could easily hear and understand him.

Fantastic Tour
