Traveler reviews
Our tourguide, Julia, had...
Our tourguide, Julia, had lots of information to share during the tour, including many pictures. She was very kind, social and approachable for questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London!
Hot walk but fascinating tour!
Arne, our tour guide from the Netherlands, was very informative and we learnt such a lot about the social history as much as on JTR and his victims. It was very hot (9th October - during heatwave) and the 2 hours of walking / standing was demanding especially as Arne was a fairly fast walker! We worked out it was around 3 miles walking in total. We would have liked more opportunity to ask questions - no time during tour, really - only had a minute or so at end as Arne had to leave and start another tour after ours. Overall, it was definitely worth the money and I’ve since ordered “The Five” book Arne recommended!
Jack the Ripper tour
This was a very entertaining and interesting tour. Our guide, Julia, was great. We learned a lot about Linda n how n the 1800’s.
Awesome history and tour!
Jack was awesome and kept everyone engaged the whole time. The tour was well organized and the timeline of events were explained in great detail. Again Jack was amazing and our family listening the whole time! Definitely would recommend this tour when in London.
Interesting Tour
We had a great time on this tour. Our guide, Ivan, was knowledgeable and shared several interesting details about the Jack the Ripper case that we hadn't heard before. My only suggestion would be to spend a little more time walking closer to some of the key locations and pointing them out in greater detail. At times, it was difficult to fully appreciate the significance of certain sites from where we were standing. Overall, it was a fun and engaging experience. I especially enjoyed walking through Whitechapel and the City of London in late evening and learning more about one of history's most infamous unsolved mysteries. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the case.
