This was a really interesting and informative experience! Bettina our guide was fantastic, she was clear and thorough with all the information and also very friendly! Highly recommend to anyone with an interest in the macabre or crime.
Our guide, Mariella, was brilliant. She was passionate and considerate. Great teacher!
Our tour guide was Arne (? Sorry, spelling may not be correct) ... he was the perfect guide; from the walking pace to his depth of knowledge & passion for the subject! Arne described the the ladies and their situations perfectly to a widely mixed audience, from young to older folk. It was a brilliant tour & well worth the cost ... the mystery remains just that ...
This was an interesting tour that followed the carnage of Jack the Ripper. Our tour guide Milton was very informative and provided background information about many of the suspects. Be advised that Milton walks very fast and didn't always wait for us slower walkers. We eventually caught up, but it was a challenge.
Bettina was great!!! This tour was awesome. Wear your good walking shoes. Our whole family loved it.
Painfully slow tour. Guide walked slowly, stopped far too much, showed too many photos on her iPad and the whole tour just dragged by. Not what I was expecting.
Felt like a history class. Half the group left early. It wasn’t bad just not great.
We had a great tour guide. She was informative, honest about what was known and not known, and very welcoming. We started with an overview that helped everyone feel oriented to the walk, and at each stop had time for questions. I really appreciated that the tour was focused on the victims and the case facts, and didn’t try to be spooky or overly dramatic. It was cool to see a mix of Whitechapel’s current sections, and marry it to the town we know from the stories. Excellent way to spend a couple hours.
This tour was so fun! Julia was amazing and shared a ton of interesting information! Would absolutely recommend.
This was my favourite tour in London. Riveting storytelling provided by a great guide (ironically named Jack), this was such a great way to reacquaint myself with what happened and learn new things along the way. Highly recommend
