George was so knowledgeable and animated. We loved the walking tour with him - he knew every answer to the questions we asked. It was our favorite part of London!

It gets cold around London in the evening, but the tour is well worth it, and is great, spooky entertainment for all
Very knowledgeable guide, kept the tour lively. Highly recommend
My cousin and I arrived from the United States yesterday and made our first decision to booked a (Jack the Ripper) tour from 6-7:30 pm. Not only was it easy to book on Viator, the prices were quite reasonable. Our tour guide, George R. was more than great! He was spectacular, wonderful, amusing, interesting, knowledgeable and probably more adjectives that I don’t have readily available. George has been doing tours for at least 11 years, it’s no wonder why his reviews were on the superior level. He not only described the scenes with erie details, he was setting the stage as if we were there. Dun Dun Dun
Our tour guide George was great! He was very knowledgeable and made us feel as if we actually were in 1888 London!
George was brilliant. He brings stories to life in such a fun and engaging way, and his strong vocals really made a difference. It’s clear he knows his stuff, and that came across throughout. Thanks, George!
We did a Jack the Ripper walking tour as a team event and had a fantastic evening. George was an excellent guide - extremely knowledgeable, engaging and happy to answer all our questions. As we work in the area, it was especially fascinating to discover the history of the streets and places we walk past all the time. A brilliant tour and a great team evening. Highly recommend. Thanks George!
Last night me and a group of work friends got together to do the Jack the Ripper tour with George! What can I say, it was incredible. George is soooo engaging and so enthusiastic, he gripped us from the first moment. George took us back in time to the time that Jack the Ripper terrorised the area we actually now work in. He knew which buildings existed, and a lot of extensive knowledge in addition to the tour. He welcomed questions between walking stops and we all learned so much. We were absolutely captivated from start to finish. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone considering it. It started at 6pm near Aldgate station and finished at c. 7.30pm near Aldgate East. We are now looking at when we can book another tour with George, as it was one of the best things we have done for a work social.
George was amazing. He was very knowledgeable. It was very interesting learning new details about Jack the Ripper. I enjoyed the small group we were in.
George was an incredible guide!!! The pacing and length of the tour kept us interested and it took us to areas in London that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.
We had a great time in the tour. Our guide met us at Aldgate station and we heard about the history and myths surrounding Jack the Ripper. We walked to the areas where the murders took place in 1888. It was so interesting about the conditions in London at that time. Our guide told us in dramatic fashion with humor and he obviously knew a great deal about the events. Highly enjoyable and would definitely recommend. Leon and Cindy.
George was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. I loved hearing his theories and chatting about why I had a different opinion. His city knowledge was an absolute bonus.
The guide George was knowledgeable, inclusive and enthusiastic. Everyone could clearly hear his commentary. Group of 20 mixed nationalities. As a former Londoner found the whole tour informative & fun. Would highly recommend.
George was a fabulous tour guide for the Jack the Ripper tour. He was very knowledgeable, attentive, animated and really got our group to engage. He was also very patient and kind to people who did not move as fast as others. Answered all questions and even gave us extra information about that time period. Highly recommend him as your tour guide!!
The experience was fantastic. There are alot of Jack the Ripper Tours, but this one was hands down the best.
It is really fascinating to walk in the places where it all happened and hear the stories of the victims and theories of who the killer likely was. I highly recommend this tour, led by George, who is an awesome story teller.
George was an excellent guide. We were provided with comprehensive information and walked the steps of the ripper. In fact it was a ripper of a tour!
Fun and informative very knowledgeable. Kept the group involved and engaged . George our guide was excellent
Our guide, George, was engaging and very knowledgable. He was able to answer our questions and gave us information we had never heard about Jack the Ripper. He also was willing to answer any general questions about London!
I wish our guide George could lead all of our tours! He had such an intense and engaging style of storytelling that we felt like we were in an interactive true crime podcast. I had been a little nervous about the subject matter and bringing my kids (ages 20 and 15), but while it was a bit gory (obviously), as big fans of scary movies, it wasn’t anything they couldn’t handle. It was a great start to our visit to London!
My daughter (20) and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with George. He was an excellent guide and was so enthusiastic about the information he shared with the group. His knowledge of Jack the Ripper and life at the time in London was excellent and he was able to answer any and all questions brilliantly! The tour was great as you stood in the exact locations where Jack and his victims were in 1888. Some of the pubs then are still alive and well today! I would thoroughly recommend this tour and the 1 1/2 hours was just perfect. Kudos to George for making the tour an excellent addition to our trip to London!
George, our tour guide, was an amazing story teller - he knew so many details and told the story of Jack the Ripper in an engaging and mesmerizing way.
It was amazing because the docent knew his history. I would tell anyone with young kids to think about it seriously though because it’s graphic.
This was a great tour! George was extremely engaging, personable, and knowledgeable. He accomplished the near impossible feat of entertaining our teenage son as well as his middle aged parents. We learned a lot about the Jack the Ripper mystery as well as life in late 1800’s London. I highly recommend!
Our guide George was wonderful! We had fun learning some history and seeing areas of London that we wouldn’t have thought of to see on our own.
George was awesome, he was informative and seemingly happy to be our guide. It is a loud city so I was happy that he spoke up and we could hear him clearly. We asked many questions including things not about the tour when walking and he not only answered them but encouraged us to keep asking more. I would highly recommend this tour.
George is a phenomenal storyteller. I looked up more info after the tour and it sounds like there is another strong candidate with some DNA evidence. I was a little disappointed this wasn’t brought up but not sure if he’s given a script to follow? Anyhoo, it’s a good time nonetheless. Recommend.
We booked this tour not really knowing what to expect and it turned out to be one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. Our guide, George, was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the time fly by with stories not just about Jack The Ripper, but of other crimes and general London history. Most “ghost story” tours get a bit redundant and slow but George was a true storyteller and even accomplished the amazing feet of keeping the attention of our 2 teenagers. We knew very little about Jack The Ripper other than the name but left with a genuine interest in the story and history. Top notch!
Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great speaker, and gave lots of great information!
Really fun and insightful! Our guide was incredibly energetic and engaging! Informative, presented with detail, and a fun way to kick off an early London evening!
George was an excellent guide. You can tell he is very interested in Jack the Ripper and trying to figure out who he might have been. He kept our interest the whole time. Definitely give this tour an A+.
Our guide, George, was great! He was incredibly engaging and knowledgeable about what he was speaking about, and London as a whole.
He was fantastic! Loads of knowledge, great stories, very interactive, and funny. He made the experience feel authentic. I think the butcher did it!
The tour guide, George was awesome! He’s very knowledgeable and spoke very well and was always very receptive about questions. He’s also gave everyone directions on how to get home from the ending point. Thank you so much! So much fun!
George was amazing. So friendly and helpful. We learned so much. Easy to hear outside in a group. Wear comfy shoes.
Really interesting tour and stories about Jack the Ripper. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen too
George was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide!!
George, our guide was very knowledgeable about all the details, rumors, & conspiracy theories surrounding the Jack the Ripper murders. Also, it's walking tour on cobblestone so wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.
Coming from Turtle Island (America), it’s one thing to read about the history of Jack the Ripper in books, but it’s a completely different experience to actually stand in the exact locations where these events took place. Walking the streets of London gave the history a weight that you just can't get from a distance. Our guide, George, was fantastic. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and kind, but he also shared local insights passed down through his own family history. Hearing those personal connections made the stories feel much more grounded and authentic. If you're looking for a tour that balances deep historical facts with a genuine local perspective, I highly recommend this one!
Awesome story teller very engaging
My daughter and I absolutely loved this Jack the Ripper Tour. Our guide, George, was phenomenal--he knew so much history, not only about Jack the Ripper--but also about London, in general. He was an excellent storyteller, and encouraged questions and conversation. After the tour, he actually walked us to our tube stop to make sure we got there safely. I 100% recommend this tour if you're in London, especially if you can have George as your guide.
George was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Great communication before the tour when a change needed to be made. wh
Fun and learned a lot. George was amazing as a guide and teacher. George painted a vivid picture of life in the 1800s and how scary this time was with a serial killer on the loose
Entertaining and informative. Great mix of London history and the gory details of the story. Entertaining weaving of the theories together. George was very generous with his time, knowledgeable about the subject, and very engaging and informative.
We enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic. It was raining during the tour, so we were worried it would be cancelled but it wasn't. It was a lot of walking. A lot of history of this brutal murderer. He also had key facts and photos of each of the victims. Also, at the end of the tour is near public transportation and the guide will point you to the correct direction if you need.
Our guide (I think his name was George) was excellent. He was super personable and knowledgeable. He was also very enthusiastic about the topic and provided an informative and entertaining tour. Highly recommended.
Very informative and well organized. Our guide, George, allowed time for questions. The tour time was perfect and it was easy to walk.
A great tour with George. His strong clear voice matched with his knowledge of the Ripper made our tour, on a dark rainy night, enjoyable. Would recommend!
Very entertaining! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the Jack the Ripper history and folklore and recounted the story with such enthusiasm!!
Absolutely amazing tour, George was brilliant and very knowledgeable He made the tour fun and very interesting. I would definitely recommend this tour
