The mystery remains just that!

Our tour guide was Arne (? Sorry, spelling may not be correct) ... he was the perfect guide; from the walking pace to his depth of knowledge & passion for the subject! Arne described the the ladies and their situations perfectly to a widely mixed audience, from young to older folk. It was a brilliant tour & well worth the cost ... the mystery remains just that ...

Great Jack the Ripper tour

This was an interesting tour that followed the carnage of Jack the Ripper. Our tour guide Milton was very informative and provided background information about many of the suspects. Be advised that Milton walks very fast and didn't always wait for us slower walkers. We eventually caught up, but it was a challenge.
