The tour was really informative, the guide relayed really interesting information and it was a great way to see and learn more about the area. Some of the content was quite adult due to the nature of the tour, so perhaps not one for young children. The guide was humorous and sensitive to safety and other pedestrians. The only negative is that the group was larger than I would have liked (40 people).

Our tour guide focused on making the tour centred around the victims - really informative insights into how the press and popular imagination of Jack the Ripper differed hugely to the lives of his victims. Extra spooky in winter - would recommend!
