I got to learn stuff I didn't know about Harry Potter, and some history of London. The length of the tour was perfect. We had a great sized group to make it a fun game. Geebs was also very helpful in telling people where they could grab dinner or get a taxi when the tour was finished. She also took great photos of everyone in front of a cathedral. Geebs is a very talented person in many aspects. I wish I could go on another tour with her

omg, 5/5, "ate and left no crumbs". Am I cool, yet? Maybe too soon to say…read more Literally, the mystery is still unsolved. No crumbs? Okay, I'll stop right there because we're talking about gruesome murders that took place in 1888 by the clever and unknown "Jack". I booked this tour through Viator and our assigned guide was Ivan. We began the tour with a backstory of the neglected town of Whitechapel and continued the tour following in "Jack's" footsteps. Out of all of the tours we had in London, this was the most educational and compelling. Parts of the tour include photos of the women that were brutally murdered and Ivan would warn us to look away if we weren't interested in seeing them. I would highly recommend this tour, and I'm not a true crime podcast girlie.

This was rated one of the top 101 things to do in London, so it is definitely worth checking out!…read moreThe concept is hilarious, a tour where the history and facts are entirely made up and rooted in humor. As an American however, it felt that a lot of the British humor didn't quite connect. Being used to American humor, I didn't find the jokes to be hilarious. I would imagine it would be significantly funnier with a larger understanding of the culture here and appreciation for the dry British comedic style. I'd give the idea a 10/10 but the execution here seemed to be about a 6/10. Many jokes could be improved upon, and the humor was more silly than clever. The idea is much funnier than the actual jokes, so there is a lot of room for improvement on this idea. I would rate the experience as a 3 star one for Americans, but most likely a 4 star one for locals. There is a LOT of potential in this terrific idea.

It was great to listen to his commentary and also to march along beside them as they made their way to Buckingham Palace.

We would not have known about their return trip if it weren't for the information we got from Alex. It really was a great experience!

Our guide, Jez, made the 3.5 hours fly by -- he was knowledgeable, passionate, witty, and incredibly relatable, which made the evening both fun and memorable. Going in, I didn't have huge expectations, but the variety of food we sampled absolutely exceeded them. From Bangladeshi to Pakistani to Indian dishes (and beyond), the flavors really highlighted the diversity within the Indian subculture in East London. These were the kinds of hidden, off-the-beaten-path places that as a foreign traveler I'd never know to seek out on my own. The tour struck a perfect balance between delicious food, cultural insight, and great conversation within our small group of five travelers. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique, authentic, and flavorful experience in London that goes far beyond the typical tourist stops.

I have just come from this Jack The Ripper tour and really liked it…read more What seemed to make it different is that the tour guide is an ex policeman who knows about murders from his career. He also is interested in the genuine facts and goings on. This is different to many on some tours I have been on where the guide is less qualified and just saying the scripts they have been told. I liked that he had information and was an interesting person. He also showed is where Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter films was filmed and said lots of other related things that kept it full and interesting. Biggest of all he actually checked that everyone was okay at every stage, such as if there were signs that a person needed to stop or pause for any reason. There were 50 other groups doing tours tonight and we saw others at some of the locations. Of course I do not know what they were like, but I was perfectly happy with this one.

The ghost stories were pretty chilling but the tour actually felt like more of a myths, legends, and history tour with some hauntings thrown in. Problem? Not at all; I actually really liked the various stories. He even shows you film locations when you pass them like from Mary Poppins Returns which I'd just watched on the flight across the pond. I was worried we wouldn't be able to locate our guide but you don't need to worry about that in the slightest as he comes dressed in something straight out of the Haunted Mansion at Disney (love!). Like his costume, he gives the tour a very theatrical show. A passionate guide makes for an entertaining tour! While the tour didn't exactly fully satisfy my craving for a paranormal experience in London, I think it was worth doing. I hadn't heard any of these histories or legends and they span from brushes with the devil to literary influences so there is something for everyone! It's a fun way to take in the city in a way you wouldn't have seen it before. I'd recommend not leaving this to the end of your trip like we did, however! He recommends a lot of cool things to check our on your own which I would've liked to have visited if I'd have had more time.

The guide, Richard, is friendly and appropriately theatrical as he brings the crowd from landmark to landmark. The narrow alleyways we traipsed through included the one where Dickens set Ebenezer Scrooge's office, below a sit of windows reputedly haunted by a young girl in white. There were a few graveyards along the way and even a haunted cobblestone (warming: don't bring it home as one girl apparently did!). Our guide also stopped to show us where some Diagon Alley scenes were shot, adding that he has a free PDF guide to all the Harry Potter spots on his website. At the tour's end he recommended we take the glass elevator up to the top of a shopping centre opposite St. Paul's cathedral. The view of the cathedral and surrounding landmarks (the Pickle and the London Eye) was breathtaking. Take this tour even if ghost stories aren't your thing: it's all about London's past (we even passed some remains of the wall of the original Roman city of Londinium & stood within the boundary of a coliseum). But do wear comfortable shoes and prepare for a long walk!

Highly recommended. I was lucky enough to get Mick as my tour guide. Not only is he energetic and…read moreanimated in his delivery, he is quite the subject matter expert who's written a book about Jack the Ripper and has even been interviewed on tv about the notorious killer. Keep in mind that the physical locations of the grisly crime spree looks nothing like it does in 1888, but do you really want it too? It was a time of great despair and destitution in the Whitechapel neighborhood with people literally starving to death on the street and desperate mothers forced into prostitution to pay for a piece of bread for their kids. Mick had photos of the people and neighborhood to transport us back to the time period and his storytelling is superb. The "Rippervision" projector on the walls was an added creepy touch. There are several tours in this area and maybe even with the same meeting points. Make sure to ask when you arrive if this is the tour with Rippervision. It was both chilling and fascinating to walk along the same streets of both Jack the Ripper and his victims, and also you get a historical and empathetic lesson into what it was to live during their times.

This one has "rippervision" ... the tour guide has a small projector that displays photos on the walls (& ceilings). My daughter and I thought that added to the experience because you can see the actual morgue and crime scene photos. Our tour guide was Alan, who we had for the Changing of the Guard tour, and was awesome. He knows his stuff and was able to nimbly answer some real odd ball questions. What was Jack the Ripper's favorite ice cream flavor? (ok, know one asked that question). I liked that he acknowledged the woman and the end of the tour and didn't focus on the ID of killer. We did the 5p tour, which was probably better, because it's less crowded with other Ripper tours.
