Our tour guide Serena was brilliant. Informative and fun. We had a great time. The real photos from the investigation were a great touch, albeit gorey! Only downside was the London city noise on a Friday night, however this was not the fault of anyone and it didn’t spoil the tour.

Our guide was brilliant and so informative not just about Jack the Ripper but about the part of London we walked through. We really enjoyed the tour, excellent value for money and very informative. Walking through the exact venues and seeing the past pictures of the place, really brought events to life. Our tour guide couldn't have been more, friendly, informative and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this tour. Anne and Steve.

Very informative, I wish the tour had lasted longer! It's just a shame that Whitechapel is so over developed now that it has lost its authenticity.
