Very good tour. Jack was amazing. The only down side was I was absolutely knackered after doing 26k that day so I would suggest you plan your day well so you don't over do it. I'm not old or terribly unfit but with other sight seeing during the day just tipped me over the edge of exhaustion. My 12 year old enjoyed and turned away at not so nice pictures. I would recommend as it is something different just don't have thst hectic day before hand.

Aside from the story of the infamous Jack the Ripper, our tour guide Tom (also known as Jack for those who didn't quite like him) was the absolute best thing! He was very informative and certainly not i the boring way! His energy was something else! I would very happily joind him on any other tour! Really recomend to see for yourself and try this tour!

This was so much fun! A very theatrical and knowledgeable tour of Jack the Ripper and his crimes in the East End of London. I had done previous Jack the Ripper tours in London, many years ago, and I loved sharing this experience with my husband. The East End has changed a lot in the last 10-15 years, and it's such a fun neighborhood to explore. This tour is perfect to do before grabbing dinner in the hipster neighborhood around it. It's a spooky topic, and requires a good deal of walking so make sure you dress for the weather and don't get separated from the group. Our guide was very theatrical and fun, he had great energy.
