Nick was a great guide! Book this if you want a fact-filled experience along with some charm and humour along the way. I'd highly recommend this especially if you're more interested in the historical aspects of the Jack the Ripper events rather than theatrics. Highly recommend this tour!
We really enjoyed Nick’s tour. I love that he gives you a different perspective on Jack the Ripper and the women victims. His knowledge on the subject and the local area are extensive. He confidently explains and guides with a cracking good dose of humour. If you’re lucky he may even sing for you. Highly recommended
The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable way beyond our expectations and the information provided really made us understand what east London was like at the time of Jack the Ripper.
We had a really great time with Nick! Nick had a great personality and made the tour so fun. The tour just had 8 of us, which made the experience great. I highly recommend this tour. And thanks for the restaurant suggestion, the food was delicious 😋
It is a subject that I knew little detail of apart from the salacious headlines. Nick was able to educate me in a fascinating way. His focus was very much on the Victims and the circumstances of their struggles to survive in the harsh realities of Victorian London. He showed us the streets that, despite redevelopment, would be familiar to the victims. He explained the inadequacies of the police, the role of the press, but above all he gave the women a voice. His energy and knowledge is only to be admired. Thank you
Enjoyable evening seeing parts of London I wouldn’t have seen otherwise Nick was very knowledgeable and entertaining
We had a great time on the tour with Nick. He told the stories of the time and the victims in an interesting and emotive way whilst showing great respect. He even walked us safely back to the underground station. Thanks Nick Donna and Daren
Amazing tour with Nick! Very entertaining and learned so much, well worth your time. Brings a lot of energy to the tour and makes you want to do more research on Jack the Ripper..
Nick told the story in a professional, entertaining and respectful manner. He even helped us get back to the Underground. Dress warm it gets cold.
This was a fab way to spend an evening. It was an education to learn about and see where this dark story happened, but Nick delivered it with respect to the victims. He knows his stuff!
