5.00I had read both of Russell’s books on the subject of Jack the Ripper and; to finally meet him and experience the man’s incredible knowledge and hear first hand all about his investigation into and final irrefutable proof of the identity of this murderer was incredible. The tour was brilliant as is the East end of London and this is a tour that I will never forget. Thank you Russell.
Amazing tour, highly recommended

5.00Absolutely brilliant tour with Russell. He is filled with knowledge and took time to answer as many questions as he could. I saw parts of London I would probably have never come across and felt like I had stepped back in time walking in the footsteps of Victorian London. Thank you so much!
Take the tour!

5.00I went on this tour with Russell a few years ago and couldn't wait to go again! Horror and gore are not my usual thing but this tour is a must and I thoroughly recommend it! Both times were so so interesting and Russell's knowledge and ability to deliver what is tbf quite a grizzly tale in a way that is simple but informative is phenomenal! He really puts you at ease while walking through unfamiliar streets and his interactions with the locals really show his local popularity. Finding out the Rippers Identity (no spoilers) was amazing and to top it off I got a signed book at the end 😀 Thank you Russell for a lovely tour
Excellent J-t-R Tour with Russ

Amazing Detail-Oriented Tour with Eye-Opening Details about Jack the Ripper and the Ongoing Investigation

5.00Russell did an amazing job of explaining details around Jack the Ripper and the women who were murdered by this man. He walks you through parts of the Whitechapel District where the crimes took place so you can sense what the area was like and how the events transpired along the way. He shares photos and details you won't get anywhere else because of his deep investigation and uncovering of the true identity of the serial killer. Although I wasn't super familiar with details of Jack the Ripper prior, completing a tour was the #1 thing on my niece's list when coming to London, and she was ecstatic about the experience and the insights Russell shared along the way. He keeps you engaged the entire time. In addition, you'll have the opportunity to buy one of his books at the end where he'll offer to sign it as well! Thank you, Russell! I'd recommend this tour to anyone who has the opportunity to experience it.
