READ THE BOOKS BUT DON'T MISS THIS TOUR
Our guide was more sympathetic for the victims than the usual Ripper books. Also you need to walk these streets to get a feeling of the relative locations of the crime scenes. TEN BELLS Pub and the neighborhood church are still there. Most of the original streets have been obliterated by the Blitz or Urban Renewal so the connections to the original crime scenes are not obvious but you can still see the original doorway which Dark Annie Chapman entered but didn't exit alive. It's not mentioned but you will start on a corner of Whitechapel Street where late one night "non-canonical victim" Emma Smith started running up Brick Lane to the corner of Wentworth (where you will also turn) but she couldn't outrun her vicious pursuers. I am sure that it is safe enough now -- during the day.

The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 195 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 The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour?
+
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 The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour?
+
Around 68 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour 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 The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour?
+
Included: Ripperologist's Companion: free interactive case file in your browser, unlocks fully after; Professional guide; and Interactive experience. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel Pick Up / Drop Off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour?
+
We meet at Altab Ali Park's west entrance, by the large iron arch gate. Address: GW8J+C8J London, UK. Exact directions. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Five Women & Jack : Guided Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Portuguese, Japanese, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
