Traveler reviews
Very good
Gaby our gide told a lot about all the victims off the ripper and showed pictures of how it was back in those days.
The tour guide was...
The tour guide was informative and gave us a very good insight into the 5 victims of Jack the Ripper. Unfortunately due to the modernisation of the area, it was difficult to visualise the area of the attacks. The walking pace was quite brisk & although the guide stopped at each relevant site, it was a struggle for some of the older participants to keep up.
Rippertastic!!
This was a fun and informative (and fairly gruesome in the right places) tour by Martin. Our guide Marin was so thorough our group finished last from all the other groups. It was a good walking tour with sites we wouldn't have found ourselves. This was a tour I had wanted to do for a few years and glad we have done it.
Top tour
This had been on our list for a while, and admittedly we would have preferred to do it in the dark, but we picked the later start time, 7pm, so finished at twilight. Our guide, Martin, was a local chap and he was excellent, not only on the subject but some extras too. It's 2 hours we didn't hang around but there was a wheelchair user on our tour and he allowed for them too, lots of information and can get a bit gruesome, but Martin was always respectful of the victims, but certainly not the police. All in all a must do on your trip, hope you have Martin as a guide.
Jack the ripper with Gabby
Gabby was very knowledgeable and passionate. The 2 hour tour flew by and took me to places in London i never have thought to go to.
