Disaster

Despite a group of 6 waiting from 30 to 40 mins before the pickup time at the correct location until 20 mins after the time, no-one showed up, then they tried to claim they were there and went on the tour with two guests! 3 sets of 2 guests all can't have been wrong! Don't trust this company! They the. Wouldnt do anything to fix this!!

Very recommended to everyone

Robin was an amazing I heard so much new things about Jack the Ripper from him today what I didn’t now. I was a bit sad when the tour was over because Robin was very nice and he really made a fantastic job. For me personally the tour could be a little longer.
