What a fabulous experience. We were lucky enough to have the other bookings at our time slot cancel, so we got a private tour! Jack was exceptional. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, and even kept my very ADHD daughter entertained for the entire 2 hours (she is still gushing about it). We are so glad we started our trip with this experience - it has set the tone for an amazing time!!!
An absolutely fantastic tour! Our guide Jack was incredibly knowledgeable and presented everything in a captivating and engaging way. He brought the dark history of Jack the Ripper to life with fascinating details about the crimes and the social context of Victorian London. You could tell he has a real passion for the subject — his enthusiasm was infectious and kept us hooked from start to finish. Highly recommended for anyone visiting London!
Hello Henning, and thank you so very much for your review of Dr Blood's Jack the Ripper Tour. So very pleased to hear that Jack Flensing was a wonderful guide for you night of true crime discovery in Whitechapel. Kind regards Dr Blood
I had an amazing time on a ghost tour in Bath, so naturally I expected no less than an unforgettable night with Dr. Blood’s Jack the Ripper Tour in London. My tour guide “Jack” (awesome name) brilliantly went above and beyond to paint a picture of 1888 London and all 6 gruesome murders. I loved the immersive experience, from the costume to props, and more than anything, the theatrical storytelling told perfectly. Jack is very knowledgeable, talented, friendly, and lovely — by the end of the tour I felt like an expert on Jack the Ripper. He even pointed me in the direction of the train station after the tour so I didn’t get lost, very kind. So if anyone is looking for a murder mystery night out in the UK sprinkled with historical fun facts, look no further.
Hello there and thank you so much for such a detailed and glowing review! I'm particularly pleased to hear that you enjoyed 2 of our tours, Bath Ghost Tour as well as Dr Blood's Jack the Ripper Tour. Jack Flensing is indeed a fabulous guide and yes, he is so kind as to make sure our guests know where to find the relevant train station, a very important part of negotiating London. Kind regards Dr Blood
Excellent tour. Our guide (also named jack) was very knowledgable. This was one of the only small group tours that included theatrics as our guide dressed up in character. There were a few other tours at the same time, all with 30+ people - ours was small and intimate and we were able to ask questions and follow along with the guide easily.
Hello Catherine and thank you so much for your review of our humble little jaunt down the dark alleyways of the history of Jack the Ripper. You do indeed see quite a few other JtR tours with 30 plus attending. We pride ourselves on limiting our tour, even if filled to capacity, to a maximum of just 25, with most nights running happily with just a dozen attendees. Kind regards Dr Blood
The tour was really interesting and Jack was the perfect guide. He was very informative and encouraged us to ask as many questions as we liked. I had also been on the ghost tour that Dr Blood do in Bath and that was excellent too.
Hello Sandi and thank you very much for your review, especially as you are one of return customers! So pleased to hear that you enjoyed both of the tours that you braved with us. Kind regards Dr Blood
This tour was fantastic largely due to our phenomenal guide appropriately named Jack F. Jack was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and most importantly he didn't make us feel like he was just rambling off a million facts at us. He made it an immersive tour and extremely entertaining. We absolutely loved him! The details he shared with the cold case were chilling yet also intriguing. He even helped us with directions at the end of the tour. 100% recommend. Thank you, Jack!
Hello Melyssa and thank you so much for your review, much appreciated. Our Jack Flensing is a bit of a star and as fate would have it, also a Jack, clearly born to do this role methinks. Kind regards Dr Blood
Dr Blood’s Jack the Ripper Tour was an amazing experience. Our guide, Jack (perfect name for the job) was incredibly immersive—fully dressed in character and bringing the dark history of the East End to life. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire tour both fascinating and unforgettable.
Hello there and thank you so much for your glowing review. So very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our humble tour of the dark history of Jack the Ripper. Our own Jack certainly does a fine job. Kind regards Dr Blood
Fantastic tour! Our tour guide, suspiciously named "Jack," was a perfect mix of theatrical, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to what was some awful torrential rain! I'm not even much of a true crime person and found myself riveted by where we were going next -- highly recommend for a mix of fun, and if you've always been curious what the popular mythos is actually about. (To be clear, my girlfriend, very much a true crime person, enjoyed it as well!) If you want well-researched facts but still fun and camp, definitely go with Dr. Blood's.
Hello Kyle and thank you so much for your detailed review. So very pleased to hear that both yourself and your true-crime loving girlfriend enjoyed the tour. We do try very hard to appeal to all, whether they are enthusiasts or novices. Sorry about the rain though, even the Ripper had to deal with that. Kind regards Dr Blood
Had such an amazing night. Jack was so informative, really immersed himself which we loved. Loads of information aswell as photos of 1800 london which put things into perspective. Just all round amazing evening. 100% recommend to those wanting a good history of the ripper.
Hello there and thank you so much for your lovely review. So very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us, and that our Jack did a fine job. Kind regards Dr Blood
Jack was fabulous! Knowledgeable, friendly, and led a great walk. He carefully warned us of pictures that accompanied the tour, they were grim, but absolutely added to the atmosphere! He knew a lot about the history that was beyond the 'script' and was great to chat to whilst walking between sites. I knew quite a bit about The Ripper, which is why I wanted to do the tour and visit the sites, but Jack knew a lot of details and I learnt lots of new facts. Great tour, good pace, highly recommend!
Hello Jules and thank you so very much for your lovely review. Wonderful to hear that as a Ripper enthusiast that you enjoyed the tour. We do try to appeal to the already informed as well as the novice with this tour, and of course there is so much detail that had to be cut to make the tour succinct and manageable, so it is very gratifying to hear that we've succeeded. Jack is a marvel, he'll be on the big screen one day. Kind regards Dr Blood
