About this experience
**NEW - AUDIO NARRATION ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE VERSION** This is not a tour for the faint-hearted. It’s a sobering investigation into one of London’s darkest chapters. Today, the crime scenes are part of a busy, modern city — but the trail overlays them with evidence and testimony that bring 1888 vividly to life. It’s a tour for the mind as much as for the body. There are no lurid performances here. Just the real locations, original sources and the cold facts of the case. Learn how five brutal murders became the world’s most enduring mystery. At the end, you’ll confront the same question that has haunted investigators for 130 years: who was Jack the Ripper? Fully playable in 11 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic) — no guide required. Starts: Aldgate Tube (Aldgate High St) Ends: Liverpool St Tube (Bishopsgate) Distance: 2 km For adults & teens with an interest in crime history

Jack the Ripper Trail Game really delivered!
Really interesting and surprising experience, it kept me hooked all the way to the end. I have done the Holy Grail game, and will be doing the others as well, they are a great way of rediscovering London!

Top day out in central London for a snip
We followed up on previous experience with the City walk and did Jack the Ripper. It was excellent: packed with fascinating information, beyond the gruesome and sensational, about the period and the area. Keeps a light touch but the story is compelling to say the least. It ended up quiet an affecting and thought-provoking experience and I think we got a lot more out of it than the guided tours we saw bustling around us. Top day out in central London for a snip

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk) cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk) take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk)?
+
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 RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk)?
+
Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does RIPPER TRAIL: Hunt for Jack the Ripper (Self-Guided History Walk) 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 Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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.
