Traveler reviews
Overall story and theory about Jack the Ripper
The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. Extremely fun to listen to and told great stories would definitely recommend him.
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!!

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.
Great tour !
