Additional Information

Seconds after we begin, you’ll find yourself delving into the brick-laid lanes and timeless streets that have remained mostly unchanged since Jack the Ripper lurked in their shadows. Our knowledgeable guides, Richard Jones, John Bennett, Angie Norman, Philip Hutchinson and Jeremy John, are renowned authorities on the subject, collectively authoring over ten highly-regarded books on the Jack The Ripper enigma. They deliver a comprehensive narration of the heinous acts that shocked the world in 1888 in a dramatic, engaging, and lively way that brings the narrative of the crimes into sharp focus. Right from the start, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a Victorian detective’s shoes, poring over the details, assessing the facts, discussing the offences, and ultimately drawing your own conclusions.

A creepy and interesting experience - Angie was a super guide. It was a rainy cold night which enhanced the creepiness of the experience. We started promptly and Angie had so much information and shared excellent stories. She was funny and gave warnings when she was going to gruesome pictures. It was a great walk through history!

Ripper tour - The lady (Ange) was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and was able to pass this on to us. Even though it rained cats and dogs it didn't spoil the experience

Excellent Ripper tour - Phil was an excellent guide Delivered the information with superb knowledge of Jack The Ripper and the murder sites themselves. I found this out more over whilst we walked between the various murder site as I ask him things more indepth about various suspects and the motivation of Jack . We agreed and disagreed and so on . As someone who has been looking into Jack The Ripper for sometime I can say that it was a fantastic tour by a excellent guide and if you were someone who was doing it as part of a holiday in London you would have had a great experience also . I have done several other guided Ripper tours over the last 4 months and of all of them this was the cheepest but in my opinion the best I've done to date. Just one thing it was pouring with rain and yes the tour goes in all weather but Phil did his best where he could to keep us under cover

Sam is amazing - We were so lucky to have Sam as a guide. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about not only the Jack the Ripper murders and all the stories around it (both well known and obscure), but also history of the City of London. He shared with us a lot of perspectives, not just his own. He really made us think. Sam described the breadth of the complicated dynamic between different classes, police, victims and society as a whole. He was also very adept at making sure the information corresponded to our level knowledge. I highly recommend this tour. Enjoy!
