Nic was an excellent tour guide. We really enjoyed learning about Whitechapel, the people who lived there, and the crimes that impacted their lives. Nic passed out cards with possible suspects which made it an even more interesting as we tried to guess who the real Jack the Ripper might be. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

It was a very informative and interesting tour. I recommend taking the tour and getting historical facts along with interesting places to visit. We had Martin as our tour guide and he was fantastic and friendly. He made it fun and engaging.

Very easy to find group in park before tour begins. Easy walk from underground tube station to park, was approximately 5-6 minutes. We did the tour at night when it was dark. This played into the spookiness of the subject and surroundings. I highly recommend doing the night tour vs day tour. The only recommendations we have is at the end of tour tell the guests how to get back to the starting point. At the end of our tour it was a goodbye and that was it. We didn’t end the tour at the starting point. We looked around and everyone was kind of wondering where we were and how to get back to the underground. People left and a couple of us stayed back. We asked the tour guide and she realized this and said she should probably end the tour with directions to underground or restaurant/bar recommendations near to where we were at. We had our 13 year old with us. The subject matter is somewhat sinister but what was shown or said during the tour wasn’t anything that scared her. I would probably not take a small child on the tour due to this but teens would be fine. It’s a lot of walking- cobblestone streets, uneven sidewalks, dodging sometimes traffic and bike riders. Some of the denser areas had crowded paths due to other tours going on at the same time. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves.

Great exploration of the murders in Whitechapel 1888, which was the better for its interactive nature with Nic as our guide!
Kevin_H, Mar 2026
It was ok but 30 in the party was too many. Not everyone could hear. Some drunken revellers in the party spoiled it for others.
John_S, Mar 2026
Excellent tour by a very knowledgeable guide. The guide Pearla was very friendly and informative. I would definitely recommend.
mark_t, Mar 2026
Professional and warm our tour guide was excellent .the tour was conducted with an air of feeling for the victims and a rare snapshot of life in a working class area in Victorian London

Martin Cheng was a great tour guide—super engaging and knowledgeable.
Fun experience overall, even with a bit of chaotic group energy 🍾🍾🍾
Long shot, but if anyone from the Mar 28th, Saturday 7pm tour sees this and wants to connect, feel free to say hi! onokoshin@

Jill_S, Mar 2026
Martin was a fantastic tour guide! Very immersive and made the tour really fun. He uses props and dramatic story telling.
Todd_P, Mar 2026
A very informative tour!! Everyone knows about Jack the Ripper but I learned a lot of new information about each victim and how the police were working or not working to catch him. It was like a documentary in real life. Our guide Bettina did a great job!! Highly recommend this tour!
Richard_K, Mar 2026
It was great, not to large of a group with a a lot of information and visual references, talking about Jack the Ripper while also providing context to the life and culture of this time in London. We may never find out who Jack the Ripper was, but we will never forget his contribution to society.
LiannaK, Mar 2026
Fantastic tour. Well worth it! Learned alot and got to see a new part of London. Very good guide and lots of new info.
philip_o, Mar 2026
Great tour very informative really enjoyable. The tour guide Bettina was excellent. Seen parts of the city otherwise would not have.
Susanne_M, Mar 2026
Really interesting and informative tour that was less about the gore of the murders and more about conveying a sense of what it was like to live in this particular neighborhood at this particular time. I appreciated learning more about the 5 women who were the victims. Bettina was a great guide and super knowledgeable.
Daniel_S, Mar 2026
Our tour guide was very entertaining, gave us great insights on the ripper, London history and good places to eat
Michael_B, Mar 2026
The experience was great and Julie was first class. Her enthusiasm for the subject was infectious and made the story come to life.
Daniel_E, Mar 2026
Interesting and unique way to see an area of London not always on the itinerary and learn some of the most famous history. Enjoyable and engaging tour guide.
Constance_M, Mar 2026
Martin was great. Very entertaining and knew his stuff! My daughter and myself went while in London and glad we did!
Brendan_C, Mar 2026
Very informative & Gabby was great. Would tell people to be ready to walk. It is pretty full 2 hour tour
Lisa_C, Mar 2026
I loved this tour. Gabi our guide was very informative and entertaining. There were 10 others in the group and she made everyone feel welcome. The stories of the victims and the theories on the identity of Jack the Ripper were fascinating and things I did not know. Be aware there is a lot of walking so if you’re like me make sure you’re well rested before going.
simon_E, Mar 2026
Great tour, really interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable and brought the scenes to life. Would highly recommend 😃
Alisa_B, Mar 2026
We had a great time on the tour. Our guide Nic did a great job telling the history of the murders as we walked through the places where they happened. I would probably advise not bringing small children on the tour due to the subject matter.
kyle_A, Mar 2026
A great tour along with a great guide. We didn’t know much about Jack the Ripper so this tour was definitely worth it. The guide Martin was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the ripper. He had a great approach and friendliness towards us and I would highly highly recommend him for tours and. We hope to get onto another one he guides on the next time we are in London. The guide took place in parts of London we wouldn’t normally have seen which again was very good. Martin told us at the start that we would learn things on the tour and that was definitely the case, I learnt not only about the ripper but also things about London and the city of London with a few jokes along the way.
A highly educated and interesting tour which I would highly recommend.
Thank you Martin.

Bettina was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout the walking tour. She made sure everyone could hear and provided historical pictures of the places we visited. We learned a lot and have a new found respect for London of the past and the marginalized women of the time.
Alexandra_S, Mar 2026
Bettina was a fantastic guide! We felt like we really learned the history of Whitechapel and got a lot of insight into why Jack the Ripper is such an enduring piece of true crime history. Would definitely recommend the tour for anyone looking to know more about London’s history.
