The Jack The Ripper Walking Tour in London
Overview
This is the Original Aldgate East Jack the Ripper tour that has been operating nightly since 1982. Our start point means that, within seconds of setting out, you are exploring the cobbled alleys and atmospheric old streets that have changed little since Jack the Ripper prowled their shadows. Our guides, Richard Jones, John Bennett, Angie Norman, Philip Hutchinson and Jeremy John are experts on the case and have between them written more than ten acclaimed books on the Jack The Ripper mystery. They are able to present you with a detailed account of the crimes that shook the world in 1888. However, they present those facts in a dramatic and entertaining fashion that is both entertaining and inspiring, and which helps bring the history of the crimes to vivid life. From the start, it is as though you are a part of the Victorian police investigation, as you sift the evidence, examine the facts, and debate the crimes and arrive at your own conclusions.

TAKE THIS TOUR! I’ve traveled all over the world and taken NUMEROUS tours—this is HANDS DOWN one of the best tours I have ever taken. Jeremy was AMAZING! Knowledgeable, engaging, and he was able to navigate all of the locals we encountered on a Friday night tour. When I booked this tour I thought—it’s reasonable—so it’s worth a try. Again, this ended up making me want to now read up on Jack (or who I believe is Jill) the ripper. All of the 5 stars show you should take it, too.mweaver1127
