The guide we had , Jack , was very informative and added the right amount of drama to make a cold , miserable London night interesting. I learnt a lot about Jack The Ripper and with the mixture of the walk and images we were shown on the iPad , it was a very descriptive tour. I did not realize there were so many doss houses in that area of London. It was too wet and too cold to take photos but we did stay for the whole tour. Jack is very good at being a guide.

Great tour, one of the highlights of our stay in London, we really hit the jackpot with Jack as our tour guide. Not only super informative and exciting but also really funny, despite the first topic. We would definitely do it again on our next visit.

I really enjoyed our tour guide getting into the detective works, and bringing out accents when explaining things. They do show gruesome crime photos so if you arent a fan dont look at them. Made my boyfriend green!

Our tour guide Milo was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer questions and talk about these macabre events . Despite the macabre nature of the experience, it was worth the visit and the walking around the places that these events occurred.

Learn about the world-famous serial killer, Jack The Ripper as you take to London’s eerie streets at night and listen to ghastly murder stories that have not been solved yet.
