Great tour

Published on Apr, 2025

Fantastic tour with linsday who is an expert in the subject. We bought our 15 year old and her friend. They loved it and was great to clear up the facts

Take the private tour, it is worth it!

Published on Apr, 2025

This was my kids (18 and 21) first trip to London, so what the kids want, the kids get. I am just glad they didnt ask for the Crown Jewels. This tour was my daughters idea, she is the family fan of all things macabre and horror. My wife went the extra mile and booked it as a private tour, just the four of us. I was skeptical, expecting a great deal of cheese, etc. That is not at all what we got. As we waited for our tour to start, I saw a lady about our age walk up, dressed as if she had just stepped out of the 1880's. Well, if they had Apple tablets in the 1880's, LOL. That was Jenny, our guide. Y'all, she was absolutely perfect! She knew her stuff forward and back. She showed us photographs of the area during Jacks reign of terror, so we could get an idea of how the area looked 150 years ago. She explained the social and economic makeup of the Whitechapel area at that time. I learned a great deal about the people who lived in the area. She was detailed about Jacks victims, her words drawing a picture of how they might have looked before Jack had his way with them. She was also very knowledgeable about current things in the city, from restaurants, to the churches and the people. It was evident that she is a well known and popular member of the community, as she was greeted every other block by name. She also answered all our questions and shared some of her opinions about Jack and his real identity. I had the sense that she could sit down with you over a pint at 5 in the afternoon and still be talking about Jack at 5 the next morning...well, I guess that would depend on how many pints you had. If you have the chance to take this tour with Jenny Philips, jump at it. I would do it again tomorrow....if I were in London!

Lindsey’s Jack the Ripper Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Lindsey is a passionate historian who goes to great lengths with her knowledge of late 18th century East London to set the scene and get you to appreciate what it was like back then. She included some famous streets and period landmark buildings which made it all very interesting. She has a great sense of humour and a lot of respect for the victims when recounting the gruesome murder details. Her tour comes highly recommended.

Ripper Tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Went away with some friends for my birthday weekend and did the tour…from start to finish the experience was brilliant…tour guide was super engaging and topic was of course superb and fascinating, would highly reccomended

Memorable and Informative Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

I recently read Patricia Cornwell’s book about Jack the Ripper, which inspired me to take a tour guided by Serena. The experience was exceptional! Serena was incredibly informative and captivating, weaving the chilling story of Jack the Ripper seamlessly with London’s rich history. Her storytelling brought the city’s past to life, making the entire tour both engaging and memorable. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to Serena—highly recommended!
