Enjoyed our tour with Nick. We ended up being the only ones who showed up but he gave us the full experience and kept us engaged the entire time. Nick presented a compelling tale on the Ripper murders and also provided interesting history about the East End. Glad we did it.

After a fantastic Rock n Roll walking tour with Loudman in May we wanted to try a tour for a different part of London. This time we headed east to be fully immersed in the story of Jack The Ripper. Nick is an amazing storyteller and really brings the group into the whole experience of the Victorian period. His facts and knowledge about the story and era along with the way he delivers it is breathtakingly impressive. Can recommend these tours highly for all ages and all groups. Such a fun and entertaining way to learn about London 👏🏼

We had the fortune of having Nick as our guide, even better we enjoyed a private tour due to another party cancellation! He was entertaining, engaging, and knowledgeable, not just about Jack the Ripper, but about London history. If you have a chance to take the tour, I highly recommend it and if you get to choose your guide, definitely pick Nick!

Nick was the best Jack the Ripper tour guide! This was our 4th Jack the Ripper tour, the other 3 with a different company. His take on the events and history was quite different and very thought provoking.
Brilliant informative evening

Such a brilliant tour, so informative and really good fun. Nick was a superb guide and really knew his stuff! He made me actually think about the victims, giving an insight into how they lived and what their background was, actually giving them an identity and not just thinking of them as loose women. Thankyou Nick for a super evening, will definitely book another of your tours.
Great time, great information!
