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!

My family and I had a tour with Big Ben. His knowledge was amazing and his memory of facts and dates was incredible. We even had an extra information at the end when asking about more of the history. We all really enjoyed it, thank you Ben for educating us all.

The tour guide Ben was so animated and informative! You could really tell he was passionate about the Victorian Era. He knew all these details about Jack the Ripper without glamorizing the murders. He was also so nice and helpful !!

A fantastic, exciting tour, even without any prior knowledge of Jack the Ripper. We were hanging on Ben's every word! In addition to visiting the locations, he shared his enormous historical knowledge with us, providing many insights into the Victorian era. Highly recommended! Thanks for the great evening.

On the trail of Jack the Ripper with “BigBen” – a fantastic evening for laymen like us! We decided quite spontaneously for this city tour, had no prior knowledge and were positively surprised on all levels! The guide (Ben aka BigBen) was GREAT! Charismatic, fantastic way of telling and captivating us! After the tour he took the time to answer any questions that arose – it was great and we were sad that the tour was already over despite the cold (5° and wind)! The best city tour we’ve ever experienced – so interesting that in the evening we had a wild discussion about Jack the Ripper and the theories. We are looking forward to the next tour (hopefully with Ben)!

I had an amazing time on the Jack the Ripper tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the dark history of Whitechapel to life with vivid storytelling, historical detail, and just the right amount of suspense. Walking through the actual locations where the events took place made the experience feel immersive and atmospheric—both eerie and fascinating at the same time. What I really appreciated was how respectfully the guide handled the subject matter, focusing on the historical context and real stories of the victims rather than sensationalizing the crimes. The visuals and archival materials added a great layer of depth, and I left feeling like I’d learned so much more than I expected. Loved the recommendations for books and movies at the end. Was a bit cold though - 3,4km in 2,5hrs :) If you enjoy history, mystery, and a bit of spine-tingling intrigue, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
