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.

Signed, sealed delivered -- I'm yours, United Carriage! Looked up on Yelp app. Called quickly. Friendly operator. Car ordered. Car sent. Text confirmation. Car arrives 8 minutes later.

Super great experience, I'll definitely be calling these guys again when I need a car service!

I found this company through Yelp, originally, since I really needed a car service for something…read more Since that time I've come across various other car services, and in some cases I called up several to check pricing differences. Since that time I've used United at least half a dozen times and I've given them out to friends. Basically, I like them because: * When I call up, they identify me by name, apparently I'm on some screen somewhere that says I'm a regular customer (or so I'd like to think) * Their prices are WAY lower than a black cab, and very competitive compared to other car services. * The drivers are nice; they don't always know the way but that's what GPSes are for (I would like to point this out to the black cab drivers, who with their elitist mentality don't realize memorizing London maps is dépassé) . * They've been reliable, except for one incident where I got the runaround after extreme lateness of the driver. I forgave them because I once gave them the runaround and they didn't get annoyed. As long as they retain their level of service, they'll have a loyal customer/reviewer...

It was great to listen to his commentary and also to march along beside them as they made their way to Buckingham Palace. We were able to see them from a few different spots and then we hung out at Buckingham Palace to take photos for a while before heading down to where the guards return after they're done. 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!

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 was a great tour. I think there are a lot of Jack the Ripper tours and I don't know what the…read moredifference is between them. 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.

I joined the East London Indian Food Tour with Secret Food Tours tonight, and it was such a…read morefantastic 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.

Walks are the best way to get to know a place, and this is one of the best organised tours I have been on. I was a bit worried at first that Street Art London might be a big, almost corporate outfit with an aim to profit from the growing (and increasingly mainstream) interest in street art - what with the highly professional website and efficient paypal payment option. Very happy to find out that instead this is a project based on a man's personal interest in pictures on walls and those who create them. Griff is very knowledgeable and happy to share his wisdom, even recommending further sites too far to reach on the day. Street Art tours are available twice a week on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. I spontaneously booked a one-off this May Bank Holiday just gone. The group met at 11 o'clock near Old Street station with the tour then winding through streets and back alleys until it was time to take a little break at lunchtime, giving everyone a chance to refuel and get to know each other. I think we were on the road well over the promised four hours! And it didn't stop there; Griff takes the time to contact everyone personally after the tour with links to interviews he has conducted, locations and whatever else might have come up. One of the best days out to be had in London at the moment!
