My son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Andrew, our guide was very punctual, even arriving a couple of minutes early. Andrew was so pleasant, easy to chat to and was a wealth of knowledge. The emphasis of this tour was more on the women who had died tragically and the circumstances which forced them into such vulnerable and dangerous situations. Andrew drove us around the areas the crimes were committed and we were also able to stop and walk too. On the way back to our hotel, Andrew drove us around some of the sights of London at night which was truly beautiful. It was a great tour and highly recommend Andrew. When I called the company to confirm our booking, I found them also to be so pleasant and easily to deal with on the phone. I highly recommend this company.SoCalMomOfTeens

Booked this tour as my husband is unable to do a walking tour and I'm so glad I did as we got to see so much more than if we had been on foot. From the moment of booking I was given confidence that Cheryl and her team would give us a great experience. I had several questions all of which Cheryl dealt with and informed us of what we could expect. I received a phone call the day before our trip confirming all the details which I thought gave a very personal touch I liked the fact that they were happy to collect us from our hotel and drop us at a central location when the tour ended. We had intended to visit the Blind Beggar public house (famous because of the Kray's) however there was not enough time as we had booked a theatre visit last minute, the change in our plans was of no inconvenience to our driver Mick. Mick arrived 10 minutes early, rang my phone to let us know he had arrived but said no rush, whenever you are ready. Mick was a lovely man, instantly putting you at ease and very knowledgeable on the subject of Jack the Ripper. He drove us around the sites and we got out of the taxi to take a closer look at the areas where the murders had taken place. There was no rush and Mick gave us time to take photos and ask questions. We travel to London quite often, spending the weekend in the city. However, the back routes that Mick was able to take us in the taxi, give us an insight into areas that we had never been to before, giving us another excuse to visit again. Please use the Cheryl and her team for your tour as they are professional with a very personal service, you will not be disappointed.
