It was a great experience! We were lucky to do it with Ben. He not just focused on the crimes and the mistery behind them, but also on Victorian period. Highly recommended!

Jamie didn’t just guide us through the streets of London talking about Jack. He truly transported us back to the late 19th century, making us walk through the mud and feel the pain of all those lives. Over the course of those two hours, he unveiled the brutal reality behind the beginnings of modern London that paved the way for Jack, teaching us that the 'whys' can actually be more important than the 'hows'. Just go—we hope you'll be just as amazed and eager for more as we were.

Rob was our guide for the Jack the Ripper tour and he did a great job. Very energetic and funny, and you could tell he really knew the history. One thing we liked was that he brought photos of the actual crime scenes and showed them while he was explaining what happened. Just know going in… this is not a children’s tour. The subject matter is brutal and the murders are described honestly. For us, that was exactly what we were hoping for. Nothing was sugar-coated. Did the tour solve the mystery of who Jack the Ripper was? Well… you’ll have to wait until the end of the tour to see where Rob lands on that question. The walk itself isn’t difficult, but it does last about two hours, so expect to be on your feet most of the time. If you’re in London for a few days and have even a passing interest in the Jack the Ripper story, this tour is absolutely worth doing. For a free walking tour, it’s easily one of the best values in the city.

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

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.

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!
