Jack the Ripper
It is a real history lesson with stops where the murders occurred, he was very knowledgeable and played the part well! Even dressed as a Dr!
via Viator
Disappointing, and somewhat concerning.
We have had other ripper walk tours, and this one disappointed us. We went to a number of locations that seemed unrelated to Ripper, but had good white walls, so he could show us photos on them. Some locations are unrecognizable by now, of course, with the passage of time, I can expect that, but we didn’t see one recognizable location. The part that we found the most disappointing was his excessive dramatization when he explained and described the killings. We are talking about human beings, and he shouldn’t have a smile on his face as he describes how they are ripped through with a knife. He also seemed very dismissive of them, describing the victims several times as all being prostitutes, as though that somehow means they are less, and yet that subject has been heavily studied and written on over the years and likely untrue.
Response from the operator: Hi sorry you did not enjoy the tour however we must correct you on a few issues. We are voted the number one Jack the Ripper tour in London because we use actual experts and authors and one of the few tours that actually goes to the actual murder sites. If you had an attended other ripper tours in the past chances are you were at the wrong locations. The guides are very animated and great story tellers and their job is the keep the customers engaged and educated. As for the victims career I’m afraid you have read the only book in Ripperology which claims they were not as described. This book has been debunked by most experts as speculative and opinionated and not based on the actual evidence which is readily available to most researchers. We hope you will come back and join us again and I will personally send you a list of locations and you will know you are standing in the right place Thanks Richard

Awesome tour & guide!
This private tour was so awesome! Peter was our guide and he walked us through East London providing us so much detail not just of Jack the Ripper but the history of London at the time and how the city overcame this horrible tragedy! We really enjoyed this and highly recommend.

10/10 experience
The guide Mick was amazing, very knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper, the victims and local knowledge. The tour, as gruesome as the legend of Jack is, was still done in such a way to keep you enthralled in the crimes. 100% worth it!

London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision cost?
+
Prices start at £9 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 London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 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 London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5,084 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision?
+
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 London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision?
+
Around 1,779 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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision 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 London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision?
+
Included: Professional guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision?
+

What languages is London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision?
+
