George was a great narrator who kept this tour very entertaining. He managed and engaged with the crowd giving some great information. He was loud enough to be heard at the back of the group and didn’t allow the people who can distract the tour to do so, gently getting everyone involved. It didn’t feel rushed and he made you feel that you were the only one he was talking to. I was a little concerned when I booked because I read that they take tours of up to 40 people but ours had nearer 50 and it really wasn’t an issue.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that was thinking of gaining a little bit more knowledge about Jack the Ripper, especially if George is your guide.

Took this evening tour on Sunday with my 2 sons. We all agreed this was one of our all time favourite guided tours. George was just the best guide--he has an incredible in depth knowledge of the subject and an ability to paint a picture of what life was in 1888 in each area of the various stops. A naturally friendly and good humoured guy George made sure everyone in our party felt involved and as we walked between the various stops he engaged us in conversation. George should be thanked wholeheartedly for making this such an enjoyable 90 minutes packed full of amazing facts. Definitely a Ripper of a tour!!!

We were originally meant to go back in Autumn time of 2020 but had to postpone everything because of lockdown and they were so accomodation and great at being flexible and communicating with us. We finally got to join a tour a year later and had an absolute lovely evening. George did an amazing job! He's clearly incredibly passionate about what he does and he does it exceedingly well. My husband and I learnt a lot and were engaged in the story telling the whole time. I loved it and would definitely recommend.

George was fantastic! He was very informative and engaging, providing detailed stories and theories. We learned so much while having a good time. He projected his voice well so no matter where you were standing you could hear him. Very charismatic too. Also, gave helpful ideas on pubs to visit afterwards. Glad we picked this tour over all the others…highly recommend!

What an amazing experience we had walking through the streets of Whitechapel as George brought every detail of the stories behind these murders to life. I attended with my daughter on a break to London and we both loved it. The way George weaved the facts into the theatre of the stories with a dramatic slice across his throat and many little asides, was really enjoyable. We met outside Aldgate Tube Station and I was worried that because so much of Whitechapel had been redeveloped it wouldn’t be enough, but George’s passion and knack for conjuring up images sorted that. His voice was clear and he projected well to our group of 30, even with City life as a backdrop. We’d been to the Jack the Ripper Museum on Cable Street in the afternoon which was a perfect starter before this tour. Highly recommended, many thanks George.

George our tour guide was brilliant, he was passionate, knowledgeable, and made our tour interesting and exciting. We learned a lot about the area, murders and suspects. George inspired such enthusiasm in us we are still debating it a day later. We highly recommend the tour, and look forward to doing the ghost tour George was telling us about on our next visit.

If you're scrolling through the various tours about Jack the Ripper - wondering which one to book - then stop right now as you've found the best of the best. George is THE MAN when it comes to Jack the Ripper: extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and just downright friendly with a real sense of humor. He has a pleasant voice that projects well so everyone in your group can hear him. He brought an extra measure to the tour with his insight into how it was to live in Whitechapel back when Jack the Ripper roamed the very streets where the tour takes place. It is uncanny how he knows the five victims and how each perished.
The many Jack the Ripper tours that are offered can't help but overlap in Whitechapel. You can tell how popular George is by the size of his groups - easily the largest of the three competing tours we came across.
So just go ahead and book George - you won't regret it!

We had a great time on this tour. The guide (George) was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and professional. It was a great mix of history, walking, and creepy discussion about Jack the Ripper. Now I think I know who did it! We went in early August, so it was light out for the entire tour. It’s probably even more creepy in the dusk/dark.

George led a great tour and was clearly very knowledgable, passionate and enthusiastic about the subject. He made a cold, wet and windy night in Whitechapel fun and entertaining. I would do another guided tour led by him.

You will probably have to contact the tour operator about that question. We went early evening.
