Well Spoken and Knowledgeable Tour Guide - Great Tour - Very knowledgeable and well-spoken tour guide. He knew all of the facts about the walk and offered to help with anything else we needed, like a god place to eat or directions after the tour. I would highly recommend the tour.

Great Jack the Ripper history walk, thanks to George - Excellent tour thanks to the extremely captivating and entertaining storytelling by our host George. The groups are kept to a small size (approximately 15 participants) so you really have a very personal experience. George does not only know about Jack the Ripper, but because he does other tours as well, is a walking Wikipedia of London and very helpful and approachable in answering various questions. Highly recommended.

Tours - We joined meet the street for both Jack the ripper and the ghost tour. Both tours were very interesting, we had the chance to see parts of London we didn't know and learnt about history. Our guide George was very knowledgeable and fun!

Must do when in London! - Honestly could not rate this tour more highly. George is the most knowledgeable, interesting and enthusiastic tour guide I have ever encountered. Not only is George an expert in all things Jack the Ripper, as a local, living in the area his entire life he has a wealth of information about the area. Loved that some of the same streets and pubs from that era are still standing which adds to the whole experience. We were a family of 5 (from late teens to adults) and every single one of us came away talking about the tour all the way home. Highly recommended. Thank you George, you were amazing!

Incredible experience! - We weren’t sure what to expect when initially booking the tour - but we couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. Our tour guide George was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the experience. It was a great way to see the historically gloomy back streets of London, that we may have never seen without the tour. We highly recommend George and the ripper tour for an incredibly interesting evening.

Engaging and informative - I brought my 12 year old daughter along to this tour and she instantly took a shine to our tour guide, George . He was very engaging and had a loud, coherent voice so that everyone could hear. He made sure that the foreign group members understood what he was saying. It was easy to imagine what life would have been like in Victorian London with his story telling. 10/10 would recommend.

Jack the Ripper - Even Better than Expected! - Loved the experience. Our tour guide was excellent. Learned so much about Jack the Ripper I had never heard. And got to walk around a section of London I might not otherwise have seen. The tour also ends near Brick Lane so you can experience dining out there. It was really great.
