Excellent tour by George - Fabulous tour. George our guide immersed you in the story. He was very knowledgeable and you could ask any questions about London as well.. There was a good balance of walking and resting. I would highly recommend this particular tour.

Jack the Ripper - The tour is all outdoors and all walking/standing. It’s very entertaining information in an area of London that is not particularly touristy (financial district). The tour guide, George, was interesting and entertaining. The story was fascinating and fun. I can imagine how creepy it would be during darker and foggier months.

Who was Jack the Rupper - Excellent. Our guide, George, was so animated. He was also so knowledgeable, If he was alive in 1888 - I’m certain he would have caught Jack the Ripper. Kept our family entertained (including a 15&17 year old - they didn’t go on their phones once) and are still talking about the tour. Thanks for all the history and facts. He was also willing to answer any and every question he was asked. Definitely recommend this tour as there are plenty to choose from. Thanks again.

11 out of 10 experience!!! - George was outstanding, he was very engaging both in general conversation and in his storytelling of “Jack The Ripper”. He was knowledgeable of the history in the area and how the people of that period of time lived their lives. He really made it feel like you were there in that period of time, living the experience. He also showed genuine interest in where everyone was from and what we did a living which made the experience even more enjoyable. Great tour guide and genuinely loves what he does.

George did an excellent job explaining the modern changes while still sharing the atmosphere of 1888. George has an excellent knowledge of all of the theories and is wonderful at answering questions.
