The whole tour was fantastic. Jack was a great host. Knew his stuff, kept it interesting and made sure everyone was engaged. Loved walking through parts of the city that I didn’t know existed. Honestly a super enjoyable evening. 2 hours flew by and we had walked a lot. A note to parents. The topics are adult. My teens were just old enough to get into these details. Not Disney material.

Jack our tour guide was excellent- he spent additional time talking about the victims rather than the murderer which we found to be really interesting. Only downside was the scenery, kinda weird to be talking about a Victorian murder in the middle of brand new buildings like the Travelodge. Overall would definitely recommend!

Always wanted the Jack the Ripper tour and it was worth it! I knew a lot about it from books and podcasts but seeing the places was amazing. Our tour guide Jack was amazing. Making it really interesting especially when most original places are gone which is not easy. Easy pace to follow. Plenty stops. Really easy to hear and follow. The iPad with pictures Jake carried is a plus. Really enjoyed it. Would 100% recommend

Diving into one of history's most enigmatic mysteries, The Five Women & Jack the Ripper tour was enhanced by our outstanding guide, Nic. His depth of knowledge and storytelling prowess brought the haunting tales of Whitechapel to life. Beyond the infamous Ripper, the stories of his victims were poignantly and respectfully highlighted. We went with two kids and he was always mindful of that since there are some gory details and photos.

I give 3 stars just because of the service provided by the booking company who actually picked up the phone and agreed to refund us when apparently local guide was contesting. We were running 5 minutes late and tried to call the guide for 15 minutes before arriving at the meeting point. He never picked up the call. So we contacted the booking company who was also unable to join the guide. And after 15 minutes past meeting time we gave up and asked for refund. We were a group of 16 people do it is not like you do not notice that you are missing a big part of your group (maybe full group as we asked for tour in french) who prepaid.... so I believe the guide just never showed up and if he did, anyway not looking at your phone when you see that a group is missing, thinking that they may be looking for you at same time is definitely poor customer service. Come on this is tourism industry, you have to do better or find another job! So I advised booking company to just stop working with this local guide.

My wife and I had to rush to make a last second booking as our already organized Ripper tour guide unfortunately just had an accident and had to cancel. Very fortunate to have had Ivan as our tour guide. I've a number of books on the Ripper at home and was looking forward to this walking tour alot and it didn't disappoint. Much of the old Whitechapel is long gone, but with Ivan's expertise and knowledge it was very easy to transport yourself back in time. The tour moved at a good pace, not overly demanding and was often just in front of the other maybe half dozen tour groups doing the same thing. This one was by far the best VFM, nicely supplemented with gruesome descriptions and original photos. Extremely recommended.

I did this tour online during the Covid-19 lockdown, from the comfort of my couch. What a great idea, and it works really well. Damien was an excellent host, and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Using the Zoom chat function allowed for lots of questions, which he handled expertly. I think the group would have loved to stay online for hours! Quiz questions with a prize at the end made it a fun night in (despite the serious subject matter!). What a great way to feel as if you’re in a group activity, despite lockdown. You can choose to have your camera on or off, mics are muted until the end, but there was plenty of banter going on using the chat function. I’d totally recommend this format, and it’s encouraged me to go on the real thing once lockdown is over!
