My friend and i would like to of seen of the areas that the murders took place along with more information of the victims and suspects to of made this interesting and to make it worth the cost. We found it boring as the guide waffled on about nothing much to do with Jack the ripper on occasions. In our... More

This tour was lead by Donald Rumblow. He gave information I'd not learned before. Of course, he offers his own books for sale. You only get too visit 2 actual murder sites, tour was larger than we would have liked,, not exactly sure why we stopped at a few places, at least two of the locations had nothing to do... More

Showed up a few minutes before 7:30 to start the London Walks tour. As 7:30 approached, more and more people started showing up and it got very crowded. Fortunately, there were two guides, a man that had written a book on Jack the Ripper and a lady named Molly. Since we had no idea who the guy was, we decided... More

We showed up at 7:30 at the London Tower Hill Tube station and met Shaughn. We paid our £9 (which we all thought was a little steep) and waited as a massive group of people materialized to join us on the tour. We thought maybe there was an amplifier in his bag, but no luck. It was challenging at best... More

We went on the Jack the Ripper tour with Donald and he was excellent and very entertaining. Although the group was large, everyone was able to keep up and could hear everything he was saying. Very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend the tour. More

My entire family of seven (girls aged 21, 16, 14, 12, 10) enjoyed this walk. The leader spoke well, and gave us great insight into the events surrounding Jack the Ripper. Much of that area of East London has been modernized, so the atmosphere is not what it was in those times, but perhaps that is a good thing. Would... More

My partner and I was really looking forward to this and we were'nt disappointed ! The guild was really knowledgable and set the scene perfectly. I was amazed how lots of the streets we walked, are even in this day and age, a bit sleazy to say the least. The images we saw on the tour really put things into... More

Loved it and would highly recommend this tour especially fot those who arent familier with this shocking real life (and death) story. Jim was our guide who was great but as seniors we struggled a bit to keep up the pace but enjoyed it none the less. More

I thought the walk was nice, not too long and tiring. This tour was so theatrical, I never heard of the Ripper, my sister didn't either - although she lives in London at the moment she hasn't done that before. The guide was excellent I thought. I wouldn't go again, it seems like its one of those once a lifetimne... More
