What an experience! Jenny was absolutely fantastic. We opted to do a private tour, so as not to be lost in the crowd of the of the typical tours - and it didn't disappoint! She came dressed in her finest Victorian dress and really drew us into the period of Jack's reign of terror. She has been doing tours for decades and REALLY knows her history, important locales, and theories. I love that her enthusiasm showed in every story, and she has clearly done significant research on the topic. Our night was perfect, as well - chilly, cloudy, and ripe for horror stories. We definitely recommend this tour and going the private route. You will have a significantly better experience and get an opportunity to dive even deeper into Jack the Ripper lore.
Jenny knows her stuff! We had a nice chilly evening to set the tone and in proper costume to bring the story to life, we followed Jenny all about the famous locations learning so much about the real story. She brings with her a tablet to photo references and articles to walk you through the details. As we walked the neighborhoods everyone clearly knows her, she's been doing this for so long and is a fixture in the neighborhood as much as the restaurants. Highly recommend this excellent experience and guide!
Jenny our tour guide was excellent, she was interesting, informative and very descriptive. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Highly recommend this walk.

Hi Andrew Thank for you great review I had a great time with you and your lovely family also.
The tour was incredibly well done and Jenny is a true scholar. I highly recommend booking with her as she is a true professional. We learned so much that you will not learn from other tours or books
Thanks for a wonderful review
My wife were the only ones on this private tour and she was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of not only about Jack the Ripper but the general area was excellent. She was never rushing us and would answer as many questions as we could throw at her. In the end, she presented facts and perspectives that will make you rethink everything you might already know.
The tour was excellent. Jenny was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about a very small area in London. Definitely recommend.
Thanks so much for your great review
