      The 2 hours basically flew by ! Nick was our guide and he was excellent ! Very knowledgeable, good storyteller, I’d definitely recommend him. We did the tour with our 12 & 15y old sons and they LOVED it. They had lots of questions and Nick provided them with tons of additional information, he even shared links to some Youtube videos so they can work on their “Ripperology”. Nice activity which give us a glimpse of what London looked like in 1888. Definitely recommended !

      The tour is excellent even for travellors without any previous knowledge of Jack the Ripper. The guide is very nice and knowledgable, the tour is organised and people won't lose track easily. It provides slightly different information when comparing with the Jack the Ripper Museum-- They discribe the events from different perspectives. So if you are really interested in the mysterious murderer, you better take part of both of them.

      We (family with 16 y/o son ) enjoyed so much from the tour but mostly from our guide - Jack (yes , the same name ) This is 2 hours outside tour , but Jack got us into the Victorian atmosphere very easily, and maintained it throughout the various stops on the tour.
