I booked with Carpe Diem Tours, on their website they say Trip Advisor Award 2024, they cancelled the tour 1 hour and 35 mins prior to the tour after we had travelled many hours to be there.They promised to refund the cost of the tour within 10 days, we have still not received the refund despite numerous emails to Carpe Diem Tours.
An enjoyable experience

Gabby was a great tour guide, very friendly and informative. Was great to see some of the preserved sites as it gave an eerie feel to the tour.

Everything you might expect from a night time tour about Jack the Ripper. Our tour guide was great and he kept us in suspense the whole time while taking us to the various sites where the murders happened. Still have no idea how he kept all the facts and stories straight in his head. Great tour.

Excellent tour, I did not expect so much detail of what happened and that lifts your interest of the tour And the tour doesn't change much to old photos even a little scary xd

Our guide, Bettina, was absolutely fantastic. She knew her subject inside out and shared it with the flair of a true storyteller — engaging, generous, funny, and wonderfully detailed. She gave us valuable historical context that brought the story, and the streets of Whitechapel, vividly to life. We enjoyed her so much that we even asked if she offered other tours — we would have gladly followed her anywhere. Thank you, Bettina — wishing you all the best as your own story continues to unfold.
Great tour

Very disorganized meet up and tour inception. Tour itself was ok but felt like an assembly line vs unique experience.
Too many people

Advertised as a maximum of 25 people but we had over 30. Tour guide was good but unfortunately it was pouring with rain so we left half way through the tour

Ivan was so informative and made the experience really interesting. I am a History teacher so for me to go on this tour when I teach 14 year olds about the case has brought it more alive for me. To walk in the footsteps of these women was fascinating. I particularly loved how Ivan focused on the women too…we do know so much about them compared to Jack the Ripper so we should focus on their sad lives. Thank you so much Ivan for sharing your stories with us.
Amazing tour with Monica
