5/5 Stars – An Absolute Must-Do!
Our Jack the Ripper tour with Big Ben was hands-down one of the best walking tours I’ve ever taken! Big Ben was an exceptional guide—incredibly knowledgeable, captivating, and a master storyteller. He brought 1888 Whitechapel to life with vivid details, historical context, and incredible depth without ever feeling dry or overly sensationalized. The pace was great, the atmosphere was haunting, and I learned so much about the victims and the investigation that I never knew before. If you’re going to do a Ripper tour in London, do yourself a favor and book with Big Ben!

Absolutely Wonderful
I have done several tour in London. Last year, I got a recommendation from a fried on the goust tour of "London with a local". It was by far the best tour I have been in. Not only in London but also around the world. Until yesterday. Jake the Ripper tour was extraordinary. Booby our guide was a natural storyteller and he realy got us to Whitechaple during the Victorian era. Telling us about the victims who mattered is absolutely the right way to hear and learn about Jake the ripper murderers. Highly recommend. This company, this tour and Booby.

A different view of the case
Ash was a very knowledgeable guide, and I really appreciated the emphasis on the woman who’s lives were taken, rather then focusing on the killer. He also included a bit of history of the local area and personal experience growing up in London. The meeting point was a little difficult to find as tower hill station had multiple entry points. Some more specific instructions would help

Great experience, highly recommend!
Original and thoughtful tour. Learned a ton, laughed a little along the way (only at appropriate things, of course). Really appreciated the angle of the conversation and a fun evening exploring London.

Best tour ever!
It was Amazing!! Bobby was so Kind and knew so much! Though the concept of learning about period and victims, rather than the conspiracy theories, was Very interesting! Would do Again!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) cost?
+
Prices start at $359 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 310 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking)?
+
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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking)?
+
Around 109 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) 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 Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking)?
+
Included: A fantastic Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking)?
+
Your guide will be standing outside Tower Hill Station in Trinity Square, holding a red umbrella! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is The Ultimate Jack the Ripper Tour (Private Group Booking) offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
