Excellent tour. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in either Jack the Ripper or the East End. Our guide went over the time and made sure we got on the train afterwards. She was very well informed and had great enthusiasm for her tour. more

Just a quick word to say what a fantastic time we had during our recent Sweeney Todd ghost walk with Richard Jones and Discovery Tours. This is one of several Monarch Social Club trips that we have enjoyed and they just get better and better. All walks with Richard and indeed Discovery tours, spring to life and makes the evening... more

My wife and I are from South Africa and staying here in London for a while. I was not too eager to go on this tour but my wife is really interested in Jack the Ripper and has read a number of books on this subject, so to please her I went along expecting to be bored. Instead I was... more

My girlfriend, her family and I picked this tour because it reviewed well on TA. We had no more knowledge of Jack the Ripper than any lay person so were keen for the learning experience, hoping for an interesting, possibly frightening historical tour. What we got was quite the opposite. We missed the meeting point, heading straight to Townbee Hall... more

I had a really great (though expensive!) time in London in June. I did the Jack the Ripper tour and chose to do it with Discovery Tours as their meeting point just happened to be right next to the hotel we'd booked. I must say I was not disappointed. From the start it was a really interesting tour. Our guide... more

Let me start out by saying that I love walking tours, especially ones on the spooky side. So I was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, I was really underwhelmed with the tour. A lot of it had to do with our tour guide, Mark--he was not as good a story teller as, say, Richard (whom we had on... more

My family and I really enjoyed this tour. As we come from very near Whitechapel, it was very interesting to hear in such detail how people lived in the area in Victorian times. The poverty was almost as shocking as the crimes of Jack the Ripper! Our guide, Jenny Phillips, did a good job of explaining the events of 1888,... more

I had been looking forward to this tour for many months prior to my trip to London! I had perused through many other "Jack the Ripper" tour sites, but this one was extremely informative, even before arriving to our meeting place! The weather was warm, even for a London spring evening. I took the advice of the website to bring... more

We had a staff walk for our montly outing with our local nursery and we made the unusual choice to take the Discovery Tours and Events Jack the Ripper walk. We had a memorable night - the guide - Richard - was knowledgeable, and despite the torrential rain we had a great evening, we not only learnt about jack the... more
