Ash fantastic Jack the Ripper tour - Ash brought his A1 game to this tour . He gave fascinating details that were thought provoking . I came on this tour the second time , only because my partner refused to do it alone, as I have previously done this tour in November when it was even more bitterly cold . Ash took the same route but his talk was very different as he put his own spin on it . I loved the way he spun the story to create empathy for the victims who historically have been blamed as vulnerable ppl often are , he called them superhero’s Ash used all his skills physical , dramatic , storytelling to bring you back to the 1880s to feel what it must have been like to be those women and ppl who lived in the east end and suffered at the hands of the serial killer who was never found . Ash - all the best and thanks

The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (private group booking) - Very professional and knowledgeable guide that kept us entertained and was very considerate regarding tour content and the weather (cold and specks of rain). We were educated with current up to date research and appreciated the visuals and ability to ask questions. Absolutely worth the time.

Highly recommended walking tour! - It was a very cool and very detailed tour! I didn’t know a lot of information about Jack the Ripper before the tour, but now I am very well informed! I think, it’s cool everyone, wether you already know a lot or not! Also there was a lot of information that I don’t think can be easily found on the internet. Definitely one of the best walking tours I ever did!

Excellent Tour - My family and I had a tour with Big Ben. His knowledge was amazing and his memory of facts and dates was incredible. We even had an extra information at the end when asking about more of the history. We all really enjoyed it, thank you Ben for educating us all.

10/10 So educational - The tour guide Ben was so animated and informative! You could really tell he was passionate about the Victorian Era. He knew all these details about Jack the Ripper without glamorizing the murders. He was also so nice and helpful !!

Recommendable tour - Jack the Ripper - A fantastic, exciting tour, even without any prior knowledge of Jack the Ripper. We were hanging on Ben's every word! In addition to visiting the locations, he shared his enormous historical knowledge with us, providing many insights into the Victorian era. Highly recommended! Thanks for the great evening.
