    When it comes to Jack the Ripper tours, this is the GOAT and so is Cedric the tour guide.

    As weird as this might seem, it turned out that I attended the wrong Jack the Ripper tour. But this error proved to be a blessing in disguise because Cedric invited me to join this one instead, which I'm glad he did. This tour was absolutely brilliant and although I knew certain aspects of the history of Jack the Ripper, even I had to admit that there were aspects of it which I knew nothing about, like the fact that one of the victims was stabbed near the eyes. (sorry if that grosses readers out here, but where Jack the Ripper is concerned no one can sugar coat what he did) But I also noticed that some of the guests were feeling a bit sick about some of the murders which Jack the Ripper did, but Cedric wasn't sugar coating it and this was especially true about the murder of Mary Jane Kelly and even though you can see photos of what she looked like when she was discovered, gruesome doesn't cover it. It is seriously beyond disgusting. One of the photos of her remains was in colour, but I warned one of the guests that even the black and white photos is worse that the colourised version. One unusual fact about Cedric is that he is originally from Switzerland, more so in the French speaking region. This is ironic because I'm also half French and I was talking to him in French as well as English during the tour. He then asked me why I wanted to go on this tour and I ended up telling him aspects about Jack the Ripper which although maybe a myth or legend, could very well be true. Some locations with regards to Jack the Ripper are rumoured to be haunted by some of the victims. One location is 29, Hanbury Street which was the scene of Annie Chapman's murder and her ghost is rumoured to haunt that location. Another which although we didn't go into is The Ten Bells pub. This one is rumoured to be haunted by Annie Chapman and Mary Jane Kelly. (the rippers final and youngest victim), as well as other ghosts. I always felt that there must be certain locations with regards to Jack the Ripper which have a paranormal connection and being a paranormal enthusiast who has studied this subject for almost 40 years, he found it extremely fascinating. So did some of the other guests who I also told this to. Another fact he wasn't aware of is that there is a Jack the Ripper museum which I told him and the other guests are worth a visit, but because it's the size of a house is quite easy to walk by and miss it. This is a brilliant tour and I credit Cedric with his passion in telling the story and his knowledge is the GOAT. If you ever go on the tour and Cedric is your tour guide, you will be in for a treat. But be warned this tour isn't for the squeamish and as I stated earlier, Cedric won't take prisoners he tells it like it was. He won't sugar coat one of London's darkest and most gruesome pieces of history, and he has no reason to. Heide my warning, this tour is not for everyone. If you are squeamish or have a sensitive disposition then this isn't the tour for you. The subject of Jack the Ripper shouldn't be taken lightly. It is beyond gruesome and nasty, so you have been warned.

    Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London cost?

    +

    Prices start at $33 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 323 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London?

    +

    Around 113 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Jack the Ripper: Night Murder Mystery Walking Tour in London?

    +

    Included: Interactive Detective Pack; A victim-centric approach to London's most notorious murder mystery; Expert Ripperologist Guide; and Exploration of the real crime scenes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
