In 1888, tragedy struck: Five lives were taken, countless more changed forever. While the killer has become a household name, his victims have been largely lost to history. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of Polly, Annie, Elizabeth, Catherine and Mary Jane on our “The 5 Women + Jack the Ripper” tour of London. With your expert guide you’ll unearth clues, examine the crime scenes and meet the human beings behind the headlines. Just how much of what you think you know is wrong? Included free: The Ripperologist’s Companion. Every guest gets our interactive case file: the five women and who they really were, ten suspects with the evidence for and against each, an 1888 map, a timeline and three puzzles. Read up before your walk (the murder sites stay sealed until you have walked the ground), then the whole file unlocks when your tour ends, with prizes for guests who work the case. No app, nothing else to buy: it opens in your browser with your booking reference and name.

    Nick is a great asset to the Tour company

    We were a group of 7 on the 7pm Jack the Ripper Tour on Saturday 10th October 2026 with Nick. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable and knew all his information by heart. His pace was perfect so all could keep up. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk. A real asset to your company.

    Excellent Tour

    Great tour with lots of history about the White Chapel area, the 5 victims and the way of life in the late 1800s. Our guide Sina was great and provided a lot of interesting information.

    Martin ran such a fun and interesting tour. He kept us hooked the whole time and shared some cool facts about Jack the Ripper and the East End. Even as a Londoner, I learned things I’d never heard before. I really enjoyed it.

    The Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,419 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 497 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 Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour?

    +

    Included: Ripperologist's Companion: free interactive case file in your browser, unlocks fully after; Interactive Experience; and Professional Guide. 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 Original Jack the Ripper : 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 Original Jack the Ripper : 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to The Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in London. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about The Original Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour?
