This tour was so NOT what we were thinking it would be! While our tour guide tried, it was not a great tour. We looked longingly at another, much bigger tour where the guide had pictures of victims, maps, and was animated and interesting. Our guide, Magnus, tried, but didn’t give the experience we had hoped for. We had to ask about Sherlock Holmes, to which Magnus replied with one sentence about it. We also didn’t get to see the William Wallace monument, which is the main reason why we spent $60 for each person instead of $20 for a regular tour. He spent much of his time talking to the bus driver, who was nice, but not the regular driver in a double decker bus. The driver of that bus had been delayed significantly by an accident and traffic, so we got this tour bus instead. Unforeseen things do happen and we understand this, however, this tour was NOT what we had paid for at all! We had the feeling that the rest of the people on this tour thought the same as us. We were in good spirits and loved being in London, so we didn’t let it ruin our evening. We just spent a lot of money on something that was false advertising. Don’t waste your time or money on this tour- get the cheaper one!

Led by Ripperologist Magnus, this was a fun tour with a good insight into what happened here. He was a little heavy on trying to promote his own stuff on the tour, but his theories make sense. His sense of humour made up for any perceived issues, and he kept us all entertained. He even wore the coat and hat, though he claimed it was because it was for the reason of it being NOT what the Ripper would have been wearing. Tour includes a coach ride, a walk, then another ride. Recommended for those in the beginnings of their Ripperology career, or those who just want something fun to do Halloween night like us.

Had a great evening. Learned a lot about the murders of Jack the Ripper. This was clearly a passion for our guide. Loved his dry wit and humor.
