Jimmy was a top guide. We had to brave the wet and cold, but it was well worth it. Fascinating tour and a good crowd of 15 including a freemason (always a handy addition to this sort of occasion !!) . Thoroughtly enjoyed it and would heartily recommend to local or tourist alike.

Went on the Ripper Tour on Saturday 21st, our guide was Ken. Absolutely excellent, fun & informative. We took our 2 sons (aged 10 & 14) & their 14 year old blind friend, the boys thoroughly enjoyed the tour & want to go again! Ken accommodated our needs & managed to answer all the boys questions (which were many!)! Would recommend this tour & a big 'Thank You' to Ken.

Did the Ripper Tour earlier this month and it was fantastic! Chris was an absolute delight as our tour guide and loved the tour as have always been fascinated by the Victorian Era of London. Very informative and would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to do something that is not on the usual touristy trek - and its a great way to experience the East End of London!

Debbie, Essex
Always been intersested in the jack the ripper story having been born & bred in east london. Me & my partner joined the group last night outside tower hill station, we was met by our guide Steve. Steve was friendly, funny & very good at his job. We walked around to different streets of interest where he stopped us to speak & show us photos, was interesting to hear all the info steve had on the story. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour & would easily book again, recommend the tour to anyone! well done steve & thanks again.

GREAT TOUR! Best part of our trip to London. Tour guide was fantastic! Well worth the money.

Cecile, Lille, France
To me, a great night! Thank you to our guide Jimmy! We really felt safe walking the streets oF Whitechapel with him and our little group of nice people and that was nice because we really were back to 1888 and Jack was lingering in the dark! It was an amazing tour, we learnt so much, we laughed too but it was also very touching and we felt sympathy for the victims as Jimmy tells us about their hard lives. This tour is not about showing gory photos but it is about sharing, sharing with people one's passion for history and for this fascinating city of London. Thank you once more to all Ripping yarns team! I wish you all the best!!!

Emma Savage, Leicester
A great tour with fantastic guide Jimmy who is a knowledgable/funny/interesting guide. What made it even more great he was a Beafeater from the Tower of London.

Well worth the money if not more.

Visited London for my birthday weekend and managed to fit this tour in to our very busy schedule on 27th November 2011 and it was the best £7 we spent each all weekend! I can't recommend this tour enough not only informative, eye opening and fun but fantastic value for money! (not something I was expecting to say about any tourist attraction in London!)
Our guide was fantastic and made the tour for us, not only did he tell the story of Jack the Rippet he offered advice on London as a whole and pointed places out that werent in the guide books!
We recognised our guide from a channel 4 television program and then the following day we spotted him again doing his 'normal' day job! Lovely man that made this tour, thank you

Came back for my third tour with these guys, this time as a private tour with some American and Australian delegates as an end of conference get together. Once again the guide performed above and beyond the call of duty. They were very accomodating to subtle changes in the walk as Diagon Alley just had too much of a pull for the parents in the group. Have already commented on how good these guys are in previous posts and having been on other tours, i can honestly say that these guys know their business!!!

Phil, Barrow-in-Furness
Was taken on the tour by Dickie on 11/11/11, brilliant, excellent host, he opens your eyes with the stories and the real photo's. I did'nt realise that Jacks murders were as gruesome as they were until I seen the photos. Very highly recommended, thanks Dickie

I went on October 22nd with two buddies and we had a GREAT time. It's a very fast-moving tour, and you get to see a lot of the area with witty and informative stories about the happenings in 1888. I HIGHLY recommend this!

B M Flynn , Cork Ireland
I went on 25th October with 5 other friends and my London cousin and we all really enjoyed it. Dickie was our tour guy and he was a great story teller, informative and entertaining without being too over dramatic. We chose this tour as we liked the idea of paying at the end, it shows great confidence in the tour.My friends had booked a bus tour the day before which included a Jack the Ripper tour but decided to go with this one instead.

I would definitely recommend this tour to others and would totally recommend going in winter time, when the evenings are darker as I feel it adds to this atmosphere of the tour. This is a tour for everyone, tourists and locals alike!

"Great Value"

Having spent hours researching, I went with Ripping Yarns because they escorted you back to Tower Hill tube station and you paid only if you were pleased with the tour. We were met promptly by Jimmy and set off at a cracking pace.

They give you all the information and leave it up to you to decide who he was. The group wasn't huge but you could hear him clearly above the noise of traffic etc and I am glad we were a group and not alone.

There is a lot of walking and standing still whilst the guide explains the scene.

Great evening

Lizzbaggi, West Midlands UK
"A Great Night Out in Old London Town"

We arrived about 20 minutes before the walk was due to start (starts at 6.40pm at Tower Hill tube station) and was informed by Steve the guide that we should wait. The crowd gathered and there was approximately 30 of us. Steve explained that if we didn't like the tour we wouldn't have to pay and he could collect money at the end! A great deal! The cost is £7 for adults and free for children. Before the walk began Steve set the scene giving us information about the area back in Victorian England and also social issues. He told us about the policing and suspects. We walked to many of the sights where the murders took place and Steve pointed out many focal points too (including Tracey Emins house!). He explained about each victim, their known movements, who found the bodys and how they had been killed and the police actions, which was gruesome but added to the atmosphere of the night! We walked around an area of 1 mile square and visited lots of sights in the old East End, which was really interesting and you wouldn't normally wonder to such parts. Steve showed us prints and photo's to explain the story which helped the children understand too. The end of the tour saw us standing on the spot of one of the victims in Mitre Square EC3, where he also revealed who he thought the Ripper was and why and with such evidence its a substantial claim. I've seen lots of Ripper programmes and its a great theory!! All in all a very informative and enjoyable evening. Steve is a great character (a beefeater at the Tower) and certainly knows his stuff. He made it lightheard (as much as you could on such a tour) but didn't take aware the atmosphere of the evening. He offered great facts not just about the murders but the area. He kept us all safe whilst walking around, making sure we crossed roads safely etc. An excellent night out and everyone paid at the end!! We arrived back at Tower Hill at 8.50 pm so great value for money! Thank you and well done Ripping Yarns!

"Excellent.....Informative & Entertaining Tour"

We were lucky enough to be recommended this tour as the best and were 100% satisfied. I like the ethos that you don't pay till the end, if you are happy with the walk . . . there is no reason why you wouldnt be.
Simon a Yeoman of the guard by day was a great host for the evening and the font of much knowledge - not just Jack the Ripper. He had boundless energy and enthusiasm which quickly rubs off on his audience.
The time flew by, and although its a bit of a walk, you dont notice till the end, when he returns to safely to Tower Hill Tube
Highly recommended - and yes we will no doubt be doing the walk again with our other son who missed out this time . . . we had our 12yr old with us and he was fine with the tour.

Adam G, London UK
Just went on www.jack-the-ripper-tours.com who run every night from Tower Hill. All the guides appear to also be Beefeaters at the Tower of London, which I think is just cool!

Our guide was Simon, who was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. He also was really friendly and at the end of the tour helped people who were unfamiliar with London with advice for places to go, routes to wherever they were staying etc, which I thought was nice of him.
"Top Night"

Been on a few walks in London and most are pretty good. I think these guys only do Jack The Ripper walks. They seem to keep the groups fairly small and ask for payment at the end so you only pay if you liked it. From what I saw, everyone paid!

I would absolutely recommend these guys.

"Great, Brilliant Guide"

We went on this tour on the Friday before Halloween so there was a very big group but it didn't matter at all because our guide (Simon) was excellent.

He is very knowledgable about all things London it seems and he made the tour interesting and fun. It cost £7 per person and you don't pay until the end.

I would definitely recommend this tour.

Liz and Tim, Brighton
I went on the Jack The Ripper tour on Monday the 31 October 2011 - Halloween!! I want to say it was fantastic, both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour made interesting and informative by 'Barney', who by day works as a Yeoman Warder in the Tower and by night leads the unsuspecting tourists into the 'dark' areas of Whitechapel reliving the fateful autumn of 1888, mwhaha!
I will certainly recommend this tour to everyone I know. I was lucky to pick this tour company, Ripping Yarns. The group was small in comparison to other groups and 'Barney' made sure that everone was able to hear and he produced photgraphs of relevant areas and some gruesome bodies ewwwe!
Although knowing some of the details of the 'Rippers' murders it was quite a chilling experience to be at the actual sites! 'Barney,' job well done and thank you many times over for horrific historic evening! This could be the best £14 we have ever spent in London!

Adam, London
Being Halloween, it seemed like a Jack the Ripper Tour would be fun so myself and 7 friends came along. Our guide was Simon although we met and chatted to the other guides as well.

Considering it is clearly a popular thing to do on Halloween night it was interesting that your company seemed to deliberately run much smaller groups than the other companies and the experiences was all the better for it!

Simon was half historical guide and half showman and clearly has confidence in his abilities as he asked for payment only at the end of the tour and only if people had enjoyed it. Looked to me as if every person paid, as well they should!

A fantastic night which everyone in my group will be recommending to others. I have done a number of walks around London and they are generally very good but this one was head and shoulders above the others in content, but perhaps more importantly, for the wonderful entertainment.

Cristina , Italy, previously from Florida
I took the tour last year. It was GREAT. I found it listed in one of Rick Steve's travel guides. But before I saw it there Dicky Dover told my friend and I about the tour when we were visiting London Tower. I should be in London again sometime in spring and I will want to take my husband on the tour and it would be a huge plus if he can meet Dicky. :D

“Excellent, educational, and gripping"

We took this trip on Sunday night after doing a little research into the number of companies carrying out this walk. We met the guide as advertised outside Tower Hill tube at 6:45, our guide was Jimmy, an ex soldier from Wolverhampton who is now a current Beefeater at the Tower. Jimmy introduced himself and set the scene for the evening, there was approx 40 of us and he was well able to manage this group alone. We set off at quite a pace but Jimmy always ensured we were all in site, we visited all the various points of interest to do with Jack the ripper and the stories told by Jimmy were told in such a way you never lost interest, Jimmy had a great sense of humour which he used to his advantage in the story telling, as I said he had you gripped, the tour was quite fast moving but this was countered by plenty of stops where the story telling continued. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and unlike others you didn't have to pay a penny in advance, Jimmy ensures you only pay if you enjoyed the trip. Thank you Jimmy, it was a great experience. Well do

Jon P, Essex
“Excellent guide, interesting and entertaining.”

There was quite a large group waiting for the tour to start at Tower Hill at 6.45pm, and with two children in tow I was a bit concerned that we may not all get to hear and see everything. I needn't of worried as our guide Dickie was brilliant, and interacted with everyone to ensure that nobody missed out on the experience.
His knowledge of the Ripper was matched by that of the general local history, and his delivery was first class. The tour does include some pretty grisly details, accompanied by a few pictures, but at 11 and 13 our kids really enjoyed the experience.
Highly recommended, especially at this time of year.

“Brilliant, Informative”
Went on the Ripper Tour because we were told by friends that it was the best. we were not dissapointed the guide was Brilliant and very informative. he sowed arround White Chapel and Brick lane area with vivid stories of the area in 1888. It was cold and it was not a large group and great value for only £7.00.

i have read a lot about Jack The Ripper but after going on this tour i think i learnt more in the 2 and a half hours of this tour than all the books and documentaries that i have read and watched.Steve was our guide and he was really good and got the crowd involved and had endless facts and information about East London.I would go again on this tour as there is so much to learn about the history in this area and era.Couldn't beleive that you don't have to pay until the end of the tour and that's if you liked it aswell .Great tour WELL DONE STEVE

sharon buxton, london
had a fantastic time on the tour. 7 pound well spent, you don t always get a great London bargain, but this certainly was. Steve was our guide. We found him to be very knowledgeable,enthusiastic and friendly. I brought my 10 year old son and his friend along. I thought they might complain about the walk and lose interest and play me up a little. How wrong i was, they absolutely loved it. Steve was great with them and they where always at the front waiting for the next installment. It was a good educational but fun experience for them. Other areas of interest where pointed out such as the alley featured in the Harry potter films, after the tour we backed tracked,only a five min walk, to have a look. All in all a highly recommendable night out.

Brian H, New York NY
Of all the "Jack the Ripper" tours I saw advertised, "Ripping Yarns" that meets at quarter to 7 at Tower Hill station is by far the best. They take you through Whitechapel past most of the crime scenes, and their tour guides are extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and theatrical in their presentation (ours was Dickie, who by day guards the Tower of London). It lasts a good 2 1/2 hours, and you pay only at the end if you are satisfied. Plus they keep the groups rather SMALL, so its not like these giant hoard tours that don't spend much time in Whitechapel at all.

Deirdre B, Edinburgh, United Kingdom

“Informative, educational, fantastic value for money, but most of all, FUN!

Have been to London a few times but this Jack the Ripper, The Tour from Hell, with Dickie as the leader introduced us to a whole new London! The group was reasonably small, Dickie was very charismatic (a Beefeater at The Tower of London by day, I believe). The other tours that we passed along the way seemed to have twice as many people in the group. And we only had to pay at the end of the tour if we were happy with it, which we all certainly were! And at £7 for 2.5 hours entertainment, I would gladly recomend this tour, real value for money, extremely informative and just great fun.

A great evening's entertainment. Would strongly recommend and will probably do again sometime. Very professionally run. We had booked with another tour company whose guide failed to appear so we turned up, a group of 12 lads on a stag night. all actors, some in work and some not but all in costume ( and at that time sober) and Simon welcomed us to his group and mawe the evening very memorable. Thanks Simon

“Ripping Yarns amazingly fantastic evening had by all.”

The most informative, enlightening, considerate and full of fun tour you could possibly go on. Our guide Dickie was amazing, informing us non stop with wit and humour for a couple of hours. Highly recommended and good value. We would even go again and would love to go to the ceremony of the keys afterwards!!!

We went with Jimmy on the Jack the Ripper tour last Friday, 7th October and it was fantastic !!! The East End of London has a totally different air than the rest of London and Jimmy explained how it was in 1888 like he had been there and knew for himself. I was spellbound for the whole 2 and a half hours as he explained about The ripper, and he left us to make up our own mind as to who e thought had carried out these horrific murders. I learned so much in such a short time and wish lessons at school at been so mesmerizing.
Truly a great combination of sights, sounds and mystery...... 10 out of 10 for Jimmy who made it such a wonderful experience and all for £7.

“These are the guys you wanna go with and re-live Jack the Ripper Days”

I had done a thorough homework on all the companies that do Jack the Ripper Walk before I chose RIPPING YARNS. First of all, they started bang on time without any hanging around ,making sure the group wasnt too big !

Our guide DICKIE works as beefeater in Tower during the day and takes people on jack the Ripper tours in the evenings. Dedicated to the core,he proved to be very detailed and informative. My boyfriend and I have read up a lot on Jack the Ripper but we learnt sooo much more on that evening !!! He had amazing voice and when he began to re-tell all the stories,all of us were spooked out :)
all in all,amazing evening with amazing guide. I would recommend Ripping Yarns hundred percent !

“Dickie was great!” We had gone to the Tower of London earlier for a tour and had Dickie as a tour guide. He mentioned it was his night to do the Jack the Ripper walking tour so we attended because we had liked him so much. We did not regret it! He was amazing and while I may never had interest in The Ripper before, he made it interesting and entertaining! Saw the other tour groups along the way and they did not seem nearly as fun as ours!

“Fantastic walking tour of Jack the Ripper's haunts.”

The walking tour we took was offered by the Yeomen from the Tower of London. They are as informed about Jack the Ripper as they are of the Tower of London. They meet every evening at 6:45 in front of the Tower Hill Tube Station which can be reached by using the District or Cirlcle tube line train. They hold their sign which says "Ripping Yarns Ltd" so you go with the right group. They tell "yarns" of the conditions of the time, the habits of the women and men of the area. They welcome all questions and offer insights into the investigations of Jack the Ripper murders. The walk lasts two hours and ends back at the Tower Hill Staion. It was the BEST 7 pounds we spent sightseeing.

Dickie Dover legend storyteller. Makes the tour fascinating”
We were 2 mins late for golden tours and they didn't wait even tho we paid 10 pounds on line. I was gutted but we spotted Dickie Dover and Ripping Yarns tour and went with him. We didn't even pay til the end and it was 7 pounds. Brilliant tour and well worth the money. Don't book with golden tours pick Ripping Yarns. Experience not to be missed!

Mani, London
I've always wanted to go on one of these tours but wasn't sure which one to select.
Our tour guide Steve started promptly and was and provided great commentary. The visual aides were helpful and the guide had obviously studied the vast amount of material out there.

Highly recommended!

I had no idea where to grab a tour, but knew I wanted to go on one and that most of them started around 7 near the Tower Hill tube stop. How convenient to find Jimmy standing there at 6:30 holding a sign! I didn't have to wander around, looking for a shop or anything.

The tour was great, very informative with a very nice delivery. It wasn't cheesy or silly, just great facts and a great tour of all the sites to go along with it. Thanks! Well worth the 7 pounds!

Hi,
We wanted to email and say that we had such a great time on the tour tonight (21/09/11)!! Even though we have both seen various documentaries on Jack the Ripper we have never seen it told the way it was tonight and have learnt so much more! Our guide, Jimmy, is an amazing story teller and has a great sense of humour, we didnt even notice how far we had walked and talked about the tour for quite sometime after we left!
Please thank Jimmy for making our last night in London so memorable!

I went on the tour on Friday the 16th of September 2011 and I just wanted to say it was fantastic. I didn't get the name of the guide but he was absolutely amazing. I will recommend this tour to everyone I know. My friend was the one who decided on which company's tour we went on and I cannot thank her enough for choosing Ripping Yarns. My husband has been a Jack the Ripper enthusiast for many years and was unfortinately nit with me in my trip but when we do het out there again this is the tour we will go on again!!!! Job well done and thank you many times over for the wonderful evening.

WE DID THE TOUR ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT(14TH SEPT). KEN THE GUIDE WAS FUNNY AND KNOWLEDGEBLE ON THE SUBJECT OF JACK THE RIPPER. THE TOUR LAST ABOUT 2 HOURS,TAKING YOU TO THE WHITECHAPEL AREA OF THE EASTEND WHERE JACK HUNTED. IF YOU ARE IN LONDON FOR A FEW DAYS, I WOULD DO THIS TOUR EARLY ON IN YOUR VISIT SO YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE AREA, ESPECIALLY BRICK LANE AND SPITAL FIELDS MARKET (TUESDAY/THURSDAY AFTERNOON).

EmmaLee, North Carolina
f you want to do a tour in London- I highly recommend this one! It was so much fun and so interesting! The tour guide we had works on Wednesday nights usually and he was the BEST! He was very much into the chilling tale and really got us into the mood of the horror of Jack the Ripper. Walking around London and seeing the areas where all the murders happened was very chilling- especially as dusk went to dark. I was truly impressed and would recommend this to any and everyone!
Also, you don't have to pay up front- you pay at the end whatever you feel was deserved to the tour guide- which I thought was a really great idea.

Tony R , Motrose Minnesota USA
One of the best tours I have Ever done.

the Jack the Ripper Tour by Ripping Yarns leaves at 6:45 at night from outside the Tower Bridge Tube Station. Our guide was funny, informative & showed us all around Whitechapel where in 1888 the Jack the Ripper murders took place. The pace of the tour was nice and it only cost 7 pounds (and that is only if you thought our guide did a good job), payable at the end of the tour. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in Jack the Ripper or even if you are not, because by the end of the tour you will be (like my wife was... she now wants to get a book from the library on the subject).

Stuart, London
I went on this tour a few weeks ago and at the time thought it was fantastic but had nothing to compare it to. I then did some reading up on Jack the Ripper and went back and did a second tour with another company. It was only then that I truly realised how good these guys really were!! After I paid up front for the other company we were taken to a completely random site not 2 minutes from Tower Hill tube and told that we would not be going to Whitechapel, nor would we be seeing 3 of the 5 murder scenes! Added to that the guide did not know many of the few facts that are known about the murders and I even had to tell him the location of a pub that he said he could not find!!

At the end of the day, go with these guys. It is by far the best tour around.

Our guide was also a Tower of London Warder...and those guys can spin a yarn! The tour was a bit of walking mixed with stops at important places along the path that Jack the Ripper bloodied in the fall of 1888. This is one tour not to be missed and well worth the money!

This tour was by far the best value for money in London! Our tour guide, Dickie, took us around all the sights, explaining in detail about the Ripper and his victims, how the places looked at the time, along with photographs and documents to help you visualise the scenes. His information was not only detailed, he was funny and entertaining but not boring at all. He also pointed out other things in the area of interest and made sure everyone got back to where they needed to be at the end. You book on the basis of paying at the end of the tour, but we were all happy to pay more than the £7 charged. The tour takes around 2 - 2.5 hours so you get plenty for your money. If your into this kind of thing, these are the guys to do it with.

A Jack the Ripper walking tour seemed like it could be a tourist trap-- gimmicky, silly, a waste of money. Not so! Our guide was Chris, an off-duty Yeoman Warder with a real passion for studying the Ripper murders. He avoids sensationalism and silliness, and lets the facts create their own drama. The tour explores all corners of the Whitechapel District in the East End, stopping at the sites of the murders, churches, pubs, and alleys that played key roles in the murders. Equal parts entertaining and educational, this tour was an exceptional value at only 7 pounds. Definitely recommended.

A group of us did this tour last week having been left behind by another group! Turned out to be a good thing as Dicky was an entertaining, funny and very knowledgeable guide! He pointed out all the points, told the story well and provided pics on most things. He looked after every person and we were more than happy to pay more that 7 quid at the end! Would recommend it to anyone and do it again!

Was in London for Business went on the tour with some folks from work. Dickie was our guide. He was excellent. Very knowledgeable, happy to answer questions, great energy and wonderful story telling. We aren't big Ripper fans just thought it would be a fun, creepy thing to do after work and would let us see another part of the city. While the walk is long (2.5 hours) you won't notice it because it's so entertainly. Our guide pointed out other interesting sites too (Charles Dickens school, Val Kilmer's former house, etc.). So good flavor or history and current affairs in the White Chapel area. We enjoyed the tour so much that we are doing to see Dickie at the Tour of London to get another tour with him. On top of this the price was very inexpensive - they could and would charge double or triple for this quality of tour in the US.

andrew plant, consett uk
what a great walk. Nearly two and a half hours of entertainment and education. Plenty of background social and economic history, not just the ripper story. Went with our ten year old who followed all the detail, though chose not to look at the victim photos, and did not end up with nightmares. Great use of maps and photos to help fill in the background. Would recommend to anyone

It was good to be close to the action of the ripper action so to speak! It was good to do this tour at this time of year as it was dark after 8 o'clock which added to the ambience.
The pictures/photos also filled in the gaps.
Make sure you go to the toilet prior...cos it's a long walk!
I thought 2.5 hrs was gonna be too long, but it wasn't, we enjoyed every minute, glad I wore flat shoes...
A must for Jack the Ripper 'fans'...you know what I mean...!

We did the tour last night, hosted by the excellent Ken. I've been wanting to do this tour for 20 years and I loved every minute, especially the wrap up at the end.

We walked last night from Tower Hill Tube Station all the way through Whitechapel and back again, guided by Dicky Dover, a Beefeater from the Tower of London. At every stop along the way, he gave us details of the Jack the Ripper case, pointed out landmarks tied to each of the murders (not to mention showing us Diagon Alley as seen in Harry Potter!) An outstanding value for £7! I would highly recommend this walking tour.

CIC, London
Amazing,loved it,best thing to do in London!
Want to do it again,excellent guide.
10x better than madame tussauds or any of the other overpriced/overhyped tourist attractions,and so cheap!?
I actually gave the guide twice the amount since I thought it was so great,can't wait for the merch!!

I live in London and did this tour with a mate visiting from NZ. We picked it cos of the pay- at -end- if -you- think- it's -worth -it policy - we thought it suggested confidence and genuineness. We were right, and had a great time. The guide was superb, full of historical knowledge, enthusiastic and had great rapport with the group. He really brought the info to life and we felt quite 'close to the action' visiting the scenes of the crime and being encouraged to imagine the areas in victorian era. I saw this part of town in a whole new light. The tour is factual and naturally is a gruesome whodunnit but is quite respectfully told and not gratuitous for sake of shocking the audience. The storytelling is skillful and tension builds - we were hooked. My mate likes nothing better than to take loads of photos, and often found herself at the back of the group but Barney our guide was really good at not rushing us and not starting the next installment until we'd all gathered - it was really well paced. He also was happy to answer our questions about the case and also kindly about his day job as a beefeater back at the tower of london. I am recommending this tour to visitors and Londoners alike - well worth more than the £7 requested. And your guide will return you to the starting point at the tube so you are well orientated and not left stranded anywhere unfamiliar. Superb - do it! (suggest you do what we did and tag it onto afternoon spent exploring the tower of london first).

Fabulous guide. Interesting part of the city. A mix of humor and intrigue”

I've been on 2 Jack the RIpper tours and fell that this one was far better than the other, The guide was humorous with just enough theatrics, facts and photos to make it a great evening. I hear he is creating a new tourt to be based around the origination of nursery rhymes. Can't wait to go on that one as well.

I have been on this tour twice now, once with a friend and once with my girlfriend. Both times have been excellent. The professionalism and insight that the tour guides give really is fantastic. For just £7.00 the tour is fantastic value for money.

The guides on both occasions have been really good fun and because they are all Yeomen warders (Beefeaters) from the tower of London, they are really approachable and are always inviting you to ask questions and engage with the story.

The last tour i did with my girlfriend, we even went to the pub with the guide (Dickie) afterwards and had a great chat about being a beefeater, the ripper and military life in general.

I went with Ken on Thursday, at the begging I though I knew all about Jack but Ken told me a all new bunch of things. I specially enjoy because Ken send you right there and you fell like if you where just in the middle of the night watching the victims of the reaper.

Great tour and really interesting and fun, perfect for everyone even families with small children.

Had a fantastic evening, our guide Ken was very informative, had a great sense of humour and added fun and atmospher to the tour! £7 very well spent!

Brilliant tour went on Monday with Ken. Thought we knew all about Jack, wrong. but we know a hell of a lot more now. Ken thanks for taking the extra time for us slow ones.

Myself, husband and our 2 friends booked this tour and found it throughly enjoyable, our guide, Dickie, told the story in a very informative and fun way that grabbed all of our attention from the beginning to the end! would recommend!

having read books and seen films about "jack the ripper" my children and l were very interested in your tour. We enjoyed the sightseeing and entertainment on our walk. Dicky (the guide) was great and explained quite a lot along with a few jokes. Have recommended your tour to a few friends, who hopefully may try you out. Thank you for a great evening.....

We went on the tour on 30th June 2011 and had the best time. We had five days in London it was definitely one of the best things we did. The tour was so interesting and the guide, Barney, was totally awesome! Would go again if we got the chance.

Walter, The Netherlands
We had a tour from Mr. Barney and it was really brilliant. This man really knows how to tell a story. Although the tour lasts at least two hours, time flies when you walk around Whitechapel. I truly recommend this experience to everyone.
The amount of a mere seven pounds is actually too less for this thrilling and exiting tour, and before I went to sleep I checked every corner of my house.

Georgie, Orlando, Florida USA
This tour is a MUST!! I had done research online for tours and I must say this one felt right. Then when I did the tour, IT WAS GREAT!!! You are not stuffed in a large crowd. You can see different places and you can hear everything. Our guide was Simon and he was GREAT!!! Thank You Simon!! :-) Coming from a long way, I was really happy and pleased!! I definitely recommend it!!! Thanks again!!

James, Basildon, Essex
I went on one of these tours on the 9th July, the third I have been on and the second with this group.

Always entertaining, a great valu for money and I still managed to learn something new on a subject I have been reading about for 15 years.

If you want to go on a Ripper walk then these are the boys to go with!

Joe & Elena, Australia
July 13th was the date of our tour. Our tour guide was Simon. All I can really say about the tour guide and the tour itself, is that is was awesome! I recommend it to everyone!

Bradley and Diana, Los Angeles, USA
We went on the tour on July 7 and loved it! Steve was an excellent guide and he made it fun while not sparing us the grisly details and horrific nature of the murders. He really brought it to life. I looked at some of the other tour groups in the area that night and it was obvious that our group was having the best time. Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the real Jack the Ripper!

Hanne Heen, Ålesund, Norway
Thank you for a great evening on the tour the 7th of July, we all had a nice trip around the district where the murder took place.

I Really enjoyed it.i was really fascinated with the history of jack the ripper>Our guide Chris was really goog and funny He explained it well.I Couldn't believe that one of the murder victims was from ireland it was well worth the money i would defentily go back again.I think jack the ripper was MJ DRUITT

Alexandra Brown and Daniel King , Sutton, Surrey
We loved this tour! Chris was a fantastic guide with lots of charisma and he made a gruesome subject very funny and interesting. This tour took us all around the East End to the main murder scenes as well as the main hotspots in Victorian London. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting London!

~Nikki, Fairbanks, Alaska
What an incredibly exciting tour to cap off our trip to London. That is all due to our fantastically theatrical and hilarious tour guide- Dicky. He MADE the tour. Starting out by setting the eerie scene, leading us around London until it built to a heart-racing climax. At the end I felt as though I had lived through the experience as opposed to just learning about it. Would recommend this tour and Dicky to everyone visiting London!!!!

Jenny and Mick Brown, Sutton, Surrey, England
What a great tour! Our guide, Chris, was superb. He was both informative and extremely funny. We learned very surprising facts about London and Victorian society and some pretty gruesome ones about Jack himself. I will definitely recommend the Ripping Yarns tour to my friends. Great value for money too. Thank you Chris.

Colleen and Savannah, Naples, Florida, USA
We loved the tour! Our guide Dickie was awesome. He had a great sense of humor- which was a surprise considering the subject. He explained everything we could possibly want to know about Jack the Ripper and also added tons of information about other historical London landmarks and characters.

phil & Jan, Merthyr Tydfil Wales
What a superb tour!!!. Dickie the guide took us through the darkareas of Whiechapel where the murders occured with high humour & superb knowledge. We joined his beefeater tour the following day. Don't miss that either!!!!!!!!!!!!.

joan and dennis, south london
|Although we only live south of the thames, i had always wanted to do one of these walks, as any history interests me. It was great ! Dickie our guide was informative and funny.You knew immediatlely that this man knew his stuff. When you live in London you sometimes take it for granted. We never go East, although my dad was an 'Eastender'. It was not something you could do on your own, unless you knew the area and history well. Dickie made the trip with his insight of the ripper story and his general knowledge of london history.
Afterwards we made our way back to Brick lane and had a fantastic curry, in the restaurant that stands on the site of the 'old toms' local pub,and if you look up you can still see the sign.Thank you Dickie and ripping yarns, for a well priced and interesting evening. I will reccommend it to all my friends south of the water.

We joined a small group last Thursday (26/5), but our guide's enthusiasm was undiminished. The weather before had been showery so that may have contributed to the low turn out, although we were lucky and it stayed dry through the two hours or so. Ken was a great guide, animated and entertaining and very personable. Good fun and well worth GBP7.

Helen and Doug, Oxfordshire, England
Have wanted to do a Jack the Ripper tour for years and we were certainly not disappointed by our choice of guides.
Dickie was friendly, informative and added so much with his enthusiastic re-telling of the events of 1888. We were guided to all the places that features in this dastardly tale and event had other interesting features such as film locations pointed out too! I was attracted to this tour because of it length and its claim that you only pay for the tour at the end if completely satisfied. Well i cannot imagine anyone not being more than happy to pay for the experience and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Dickie for a wonderful, atmospheric and thoroughly entertaining evening.

deniseyoungsoprano.com, San Francisco, CA,USA
Our Jack the Ripper Tour was an incredible journey to this deepest darkest and despairing facet of human history.
The Tour occurs at a lovely time of day in the City, but the intriguing but unlovely course of events darkens our spirits.
Finishing at the Pub to lift them back up is a good thing...

Dickie was absolutely captivating.

Katie & Adele, Leeds
We loved every minute of the tour, Simon was really informative & entertaining and made us feel very welcome! We won our tickets but we would have happily paid well over the £7.00 ticket price if we were paying customers! Hope to take another tour next time we're in London!

Fran, Stu, Sheila, Steve, Phil & Jan, Essex
No disappointment here - a terrific guide who brought a whole new dimension to a well-known story.
We now have lots of little infamous facts that really spiced up the terrible tales of trying times, to tell our frineds and trot out at Quiz Nights..
Thanks Simon you made it really special

cathy & sonia, Australia
Awesome tour with Steve. The guides are witty and presented the ripper information & evidence, with explanations from their own experience in military / policing - not just some backpacker who's googled the history. Fab night!

Elizabeth & William Wilkins, Berkshire
A great way to spend an evening. Did it last night. Full of entertainment with a massive wealth of knowledge. Never known time to pass so quickly. Taken right to some of the spots where the murders happened and were brought to life in a very convincing style. Thank you Dickie, can't wait to bring our friends with us next time!!

paul & crystal, worksop, east midlands
We would like to thank ken for a wonderful tour. very informative and well presented. He even had time to talk to us about other aspects about jack The Ripper at the end. Would reccommend and we both had a good time many thanks again

|Nat, Ste, Manchester, England
We just want to say we had a fantastic time on the Jack the Ripper Tour with Ken on the 24th april he really knew his stuff and the jokes just rolled off his tongue, we was gutted when the tour came to an end, Well worth the money.
We would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone, we will be back to do it again.

Thanks for a great night of murder and mistery............

mel , london
excellent tour guide who was named ken had a very interesting & informative insight into the subject. went to various locations and given very in-depth information but it was over so quickly but would definitely reccommend this tour for everyone :-)

Jim, Toronto, Canada
Dickie was outstanding the other evening. He brought the entire Ripper experience to life ... thoroughly entertaining. Just 15 in the group made it easy to hear everything.

DEVINA GRONERT, SWANSEA WALES
Did tour March 19th only in London over night and what a brilliant way to spend your evening tour guide was very interesting and told you about Jack the ripper in such a way you never got bored my son really enjoyed well done money well spent sorry don't remember guides name but he was brilliant

Tuesday 22nd March,
I have always wanted to go on this tour, being interested in the murders, but it was much more than I expected, Dicky our tour guide brought the whole evening alive with his superb knowledge and the way he created the atmosphere of Whitechapel in 1888. Well worth the money and Trish and myself would recommend this excellent tour.

GraemeKeithTrevor, London
Our tour guide was Steve and to say that the tour was informative, interesting, and VERY VERY good would be under selling it somewhat!!

Where can you that for only £7.00 in this day and age, get a tour guide that for over 2 hours is highly informative on the subject matter, and can keep your smiles on-going with interaction of humour along the way???

Myself and my friends thoroughly enjoyed this tour and have no hesitation in recommending it.

Thank you Steve ;)

Geoff & Julie, Midlands, England
We really enjoyed the tour, Dicky our guide was very informative, we would recommend to anyone to go along and join the tour

We took this tour the other night which was our last in England our guide was ken it was excellent walking through those old streets we would reccomend this tour it was also cheap and good value.

We want to say a big 'thank you' to our guide, Simon for an amazing tour. Informative, atmospheric and great fun. Simon's knowledge really brought the whole 'Ripper' story to life. We would recommend anyone to have a tour with Simon to get the best story full of humour with a few frights thrown in!

Chloe wanted to say a big thank you to Simon for curing her hiccups!

Rebecca & Rob, Matt & Beck, Hastings, UK
Brilliant! Very atmospheric on a cold February night. We had spent the day shopping in the area, but it felt very different at night listening to the guide tell us about it's grim history. Very well researched, without a doubt the most believable theory I've heard about who really was Jack the Ripper. Would recommend it to anyone visiting London! Rebecca :-)

We really enjoyed the tour given to us by Ken. Even though it was cold we were still captivated by your tour.It was thrilling and told really well. I will be recommending you to my family and friends . X

Dickie was our tour guide and he was amazing. His ability to weave the entire story into a thrilling story as well as history lesson was great. We found the tour in the Rick Steve's guide. Definitely a tour I would recommend and would take again.

Thanks to Dickie for a great night around Whitechapel. His narrative was compelling and the visual aids that are provided help you to imagine each scene as it was in 1888.

PS: Don't go with London walks unless you like overcrowding!

We took the tour in January. It is absolutely fabulous. Dickie guided us through this part of London's history in a very compelling, interesting and entertaining way. He really made us feel history. Have you ever had coins in your hand that could have been in the hands of one of the people involved in the story? This would be your chance. It was one of our highlights during this trip - and we'll definitely do the tour again when we come back to London. Thank you very much.

Francesca, London, England
Thanks to Ken for a fabulous and gruesome tour. Having just toured the Tower and climbed the Monument, a Ripper walk was just the thing for a drizzly and dark january evening. Very professional, funny and fascinating. Will be recommending you to ... everyone! :)

We went on Wednesday 19th Jan 2011. The Guide was so full of knowledge and you could see that he really enjoyed his nightime work. I would highly recommend this tour to others, and great value for money. First class.

Bethan and and Barry, Scotland
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our guide 'Dickie' was a superb storyteller, funny and charismatic. You can just tell how passionate these people are about the history of London. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone (especially to any history students) I am a history student myself and found the social history fascinating. There is not really much more to say except...GO ON THIS TOUR!

Carsten & Ilinca, Aachen, Germany
We have been at the beginning of January on the tour and we fully enjoyed it! Our tour guide was absolutely fantastic and he talked about Jack the Ripper with such a vivid voice full of suspense that we actually could imagine being at the crime scenes. All in all, it has been a one of a kind experience! Thank you!
Oh, and if you thought there was no connection between Jack the Ripper, Harry Potter and The Pet Shop Boys, I strongly suggest this tour.. you will know better afterwards!
Greets!

My sister and I have been planning our trip to Europe for so long now and one of the things I'm most excited about is this tour! If I could put more of my time into it I'd surely become a ripperologist! haha We are very excited about this tour though and look forward to seeing you all there!!

Many thanks again.

Kathleen and Caitlin, Chicago, IL
While on our trip to London we knew that we wanted to do a "Jack" tour. During our visit at the Tower of London we ran into Mark, one of the guides, and he told us we should check his group out. In lieu of some of the other tours, we decided to attend this one --- and we're certainly glad we did. Ken was our guide for the evening, and brought not only interesting stories about Jack and London, but excitement and passion to the history. Ken was great, and we felt safe the whole time. He not only got the group to join in, but also jump from some surprises! In any case, special thanks to Mark and Ken for the suggestion and the tour. We really learned a lot, and had a wonderful time. This really is the best Jack the Ripper tour in London - don't bother with the others.

Peter and Kitty van de Wall, Berg aan de Maas, The Netherlands
Probably the best story we've ever heard.

One of the best birthday presents my partner has given me,we both found the tour and the guide to be exceptionaly intresting and very entertaining certainly there were no shortage of jokes from our guide, who was brilliant.

We both talked about doing this tour in the past we never got the chance to do so,the tour was worth waiting for,we both, especialy my partner are very intrested in london and its history ,the tour full filled more than our exspectations of Jack the Ripper.i couldnt put my finger on the best part of the tour overall this was fantastic evening im so happy we eventualy did the tour.

Thank you my darling and thank you Ripping Yarns.

Laura, Ben, Sara,Carl, Midlands
We went on this tour last week, and must say it was excellent very informative our leader was Ken, he not only told the Jack the Ripper Story but he did it with passion and feeling. Walking around the east end is chilling enough but when you are listening to these gruesome murders brilliant. We recommend this tour. You will not be dissapointed. See you next time JACK?

Hayley, London
We took the tour this evening nov 6. It was very interesting and our guide steve was lovely. His jokes kept us entertained but also his story telling was by far amazing. Always wanted to learn more about Jack and Steve has now filled my mind with lots of amazing real life facts about jack and the murders. Spine chilling to think we were retracing the steps of the notorious murderer but also seeing some of the murder sites. The old frying pan pub was amazing to see the old sign, long live the history of London.

Mara Howarth, Saffron Walden, Essex
We did the tour on the evening of Saturday 30 October, and we loved it!! Dickie is a GENIUS, very informative, entertaining, incredibly fun. I did a similar tour with another company a couple of years abroad when a friend was on a visit to London, and although I thought it was pretty good at the time, Saturday's was so much better! I would recommend it to everyone visiting London, either from abroad or from elsewhere in the UK. You will learn not only about Jack the Ripper, but also get lots of information on London hidden corners. Did I mention Dickie was great? Well, he was: BRILLIANT!! :-)

Annalis & Laura, Putney/Hampshire
Dickie was amazing! Tour was brilliant, great way to spend a night. Really enjored it and will definately be taking the girls from work on this tour!

PS We walked past a few other tours and none seemed entertaining as Dickie

Thanks again!

Conran, london
Just wanted to say a big thanks for a great tour last night. Dickie was brilliant. Everyone enjoyed it immensely and I have had lots of positive feedback and will be recommending your company without hesitation.

Please pass on my personal thanks to Dickie.

Went on the tour with steve at October 24th. Very professional and a lot of good stories and tales.
Thank you !

Neill & Beverley Tully, London
A fantastic and fascinating night out. Dickie was superb and had us transfixed throughout. If you want to hear the real story, told in perfect surroundings and narated so professionally... then do THIS tour. A faboulous, entertaining and informative evening. Well done and Thankyou.

Hayley, Southend-on-Sea
Me and my parnter had wanted to do a Jack the Ripper tour for ages and finally managed to pick one and went along on the 23rd October... So glad we found this site! Our tour guide was Dickie and he really knew his stuff (and even threw in a few random non-Ripper facts as we went along). The tour was much longer than others we had looked at and seemed to go places other tours didn't...and had much smaller groups so it was more personal.

Would definately recommend this tour, well worth the money!

Joe Matthews, London
Very interesting, learn't lots about an area I though I knew a lot about.

nicky, shropshire, england
went on the walk on 17th and thought it was a great way to spend an evening.
very interesting, Dickie, thanks.

we attended the tour with our guide Ken, this was by far the best tour we have ever been on and at £7 makes the 4 pennys paid to sleep in a coffin sized bed in the 1800s seem quite expensive !! we thoroughly enjoyed our tour and Ken came across as not only a very proffessional and knowlegable guy but also a warm and friendly man who told the story with passion and great understanding of the subject matter, he ensured we always stayed together and encouraged participation from the group and i came away with a real understanding of not only Jack the ripper but of times gone by in the East End and how life was conducted all those historical years ago, on completion we were either given directions to our next destination or escorted back to Tower Hill where we first met. Well done Ken and your team for providing the best tour by far and we will definately be booking again the next time we are lucky enough to visit London.

Jim Watson, Kirkcaldy, Scotland
Just done the tour with Dickie, a great way to spend an evening in London.

Angela Stewart & Alan Baillie, Perth, Scotland
We did the tour on Tuesday 5th October 2010. The group was a good size and Dickie our guide was excellent at telling us the Ripper story. This tour definitely goes to the locations other tours don't. A very enjoyable evening.

James and Laura, USA
We done this tour last month with ken who was our guide and must state that he was excellent and very proffesional. The tour that he gave us was very informative and even if you did not know a lot about jack the ripper and the east end you will remember after this.
Ken good stuff thanks

Claire & Andy Jayes, Nottingham, England
We did the Jack the Ripper tour on Saturday 2nd October. Simon our guide was excellent and kept us very entertained with his knowledge of Jack and his crimes. And even though the heavens decided to open half way rounds the dark streets of Whitechapel it didn't deter him and we had a fabulous night. I would highly recommend anyone to do this tour... a right ripping yarn it was!!!!

Mike James, Tring, Herts & London
I have to admit that although a Liveryman and a Freeman of the City of London, I have never been on a "Jack the Ripper" tour .
My Daughter and boyfriend decided to take me on the tour as part of a birthday gift, and it was a really great expierance. I not only found it interesting but great fun.
Congratulations to Dickie who kept us all under control and was a very entertaining tour leader.
Thanks for a great night, and I will look upun this area of London in a new light.

Jenny and Charles, norfolk uk
We took the tour on Sunday 26th September. Chris was our guide and was absolutely brilliant. Even though I was born and lived in the Eastend I wanted my partner (who is scottish) to experience a part of London that facinates him , as does the ripper. I have never taken the tour before either and found it very interesting . I loved chris's enthusiasm. I would recommend it to anyone , well worth the money!

Ang, Edinburgh
I took the tour on Sun 19 Sept and it exceeded all expectations! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, providing lots of insight into the crimes and life in the city at the time of the murders. He made it a fun ‘who done it’ evening, a real murder mystery for the group to solve from the clues provided as we made our way through the dark and spooky streets of Whitechapel. Great value for money, I’ve already recommended this tour to family and friends as a must do :-)

TalyaV and SteveS., Essex
We thought that the tour was fantastic. Very informative and the best tour given. Dickie was an excellent tour guide and we recommend him to anyone else that wants to take the tour. Now ill be able to use all this useful information in my GCSE history exam. Thanks Dickie! - i better pass ;)

Keith Ratcliffe, Corsham Wiltshire
Went on the tour on the 10 Sept 2010 with Dickie as our guide the amount of knowledge about the ripper that Dickie passed on was much more than expected and THIS tour goes into Whitechapel not around the edge. I would say this tour is a must and don't be put off by the walk it's not a route march.

Ellie. Becky., Birmingham
Had a great time with ken the other night on jack the riper tour. he was entertaining and told us things of the east end as well. the sights and smells of the east end are amazing and the rats really looked real. have told all our friends.
Ken thanks for a great time

Chris Pauley, Whyteleafe, Surrey
I went on the tour on Friday 10th September and Dickie was our guide. I found it to be great fun - factual, informative (I learnt a lot) and inspiring (I'm now reading a book on JTR!).

Dickie was a terrific guide. Warm, welcoming, very knowledgeable and very witty too. I love the ethos of not having to pay until the end of the tour, or at all if you didn't enjoy it. My only regret now is that I didn't tip him!

Highly recommended. In fact, I've recommended to a few people already!

Julieann Lawn, UK
Hi we took our Nephew friday night Dicky was our tour guide and was really good and explained everything in detail highly recomended tour.

Christopher , USA
We went on this tour with Dicky last night it was amazing he was a great tour guide i am on vacation from the US Army and had a great time, Nice clear explanation of the Tour.

Amanda Pauley, Beckenham
Me and a couple of friends went on this tour last night and I have to say it was well worth the time, travel and money. Our tour guide was a lovely chap named Dickie who was very humourous, knowledgable and with his story-telling brought the legacy that is Jack the Ripper to life. He was factual, clear and took us to the key locations which makes this tour a winner for me. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and would particularly say to ask for Dickie as the tour guide as he was friendly, kind and gave each of the murders a factual but chilling run down. This tour brings the history of London to life!

Thanks Dickie for the great time!

Natalie Gallagher, Skipton, England
The tour was amazing, so good now I'm off back to college to do a project on Jack the Ripper... so interesting and the information given was great, made us feel like we were back in 1888 walking down the same streets as Jack. Absolutely fantastic.

Hannah, Wales
Went on the tour Saturday 28th August, Steve was our guide. He was very knowledgable regarding both Jack the Ripper and the surrounding areas. He was funny and tried his best to make the mood light, considering it was raining. Fantastic tour, would definately reccommend!!!! But next time I will definately take an umbrella to avoid getting wet :)

DW, Brighton
Dickie was a great guide, knowledgeable, cheerful and welcoming on the anniversary of the first of the murders in Whitechapel. I've been on a number of these tours over the years with different operators, and I have to say the Ripping Yarns tour is by far the best thought out and factual. That said...

The guides state the murders happened at weekends - Polly was killed on a Thursday night/Friday morning, as was Mary Kelly. Not *quite* the weekend...

I'll see you next year on the anniversary. And yes, I'll bring some more flowers for Polly.

Lee, Folkestone, Kent
awesome tour with Steve last night, He was an excellent guide, witty and knowledgable. Thanks Steve

Karen Hooker, Devon, England.
We had a fantastic tour, very very informative and Dickie was a font of knowledge. He brought the atmosphere to life and added a little of his own humour to make the evening a wonderful experience and one we will remember for a long time. Thanks to Dickie Dover, you were great!!!!

Mark, Terrie & Beth Jackson, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
A very informative, entertaining and gruesome tour. Chris was knowledgeable and his delivery style was both gripping and humerous. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London.

Nikki, england
Fantastic tour thankyou Chris very entertaining and informative we really enjoyed the evening and Chris made it very interesting we picked this over a show and so glad we did!

Olwen, Uk



What a fantastic experience,our guide Chris was very knowledgeable and gave the tour in an informative but fun way,taking us to all the sights you have read about.Very worthwhile and value for money!

sean and crew, LONDON
Had some spare time did not know what to do, came across this tour by accident but we are glad we did ken our guide was brilliant his knowledge first rate. he also works at the tower of london so will visit that. ken thanks

AndyMac, New Zealand
This is the tour for you! I'd done one other Ripper tour with a bunch of work colleagues, and so came along to the East End trek with guide Dickie expecting more of the same. How wrong was I? Very. Here's a guide who gives an incisive, gripping and entertaining presentation of events in the Autumn of 1888. He takes you to the key spots, Buck's Row, Mitre Square, Dorset Street, George's Yard (what's left of it), Spittalfields Market, and St Botolph's Without Aldgate (some of those names have since changed) and many others. If you're after a rip-roaring yarn told by an informed, audible guide and mingled with the still-lingering smell of the East End mean streets, then look no further.

Donna & Phil, Staffordshire UK
We were only in London for a couple of days and we choose this tour as the reviews were great and it did not disappoint. Ken our tour guide was fantastic, entertaining and very informative he kept the whole group engaged throughout the tour and we had a brilliant time. We would definitely recommend this tour.

Jeanette and Naomi, Swindon
We did the tour on 3rd August. We had a great time, not only did we learn all there is to know about the RIPPER but had a tour of a part of London we had never seen before and had other points of interest shown to us. The guide was excellent. Thanks.

Brendan and Nicole, Southend on Sea
We'd like to say thank you to Simon who was our Tour Guide on 7th August 2010. He was very entertaining, knowledgeable and made the 2 1/2 hour tour fly by. We had a great time and would definately reccomend this tour to other people who have an interest in Jack the Ripper or Victorian history in London. Although we had some knowledge of Jack the Ripper, Simon was able to tell us facts we had not heard before and his story was accompanied by interesting handouts and photos from the actual case. Many thanks again.

Tess and Judy, Sleepy Hollow
This was our first time in London, and we were so thrilled during this tour. We had a fantastic experience that we will not soon forget. We would like to say a personal thank you to Ken, our tour guide who had such contagious enthusiasm. Thank you for a great time.

Geno,Mel,Teresa and Trevor, Gloucester
We did the tour on 23 July 2010 and what a fantastic time we all had.Our tour guide was Chris who was so enthusiastic and very informative and knowledgeable,we would recommend this tour to all visitors to London.

Ros Burton, Hertfordshire, UK
What a gem! Chose this Ripper walk because of the rave reviews and it did not disappoint. Had a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining walk with Dickie, the brilliant tour guide. He took us through the streets of the East End with not only stories about the Ripper but lots of other fascinating stuff about the area. This walk is a MUST if like me you have East End family history as Dickie really sets the scene of Victorian London. What was exceptional about this tour, was that Dickie (unlike so many other tour guides in London) had so much enthusiasm and really seemed to enjoy what he was doing and that is what makes this walk stand out. You pay at the end of the tour and before you start you wonder whether people will drift off, this was not the case, everyones attention was held from the start to finish and we all gladly paid our £7 each which was £7 very well spent. Would definately recommend.

Tina and Graham McKie, Midlands
16th July 2010 - What a fantastic start to our weekend in London. We had picked up a leaflet for this tour the last time we were in London, you read so much about the events of 1888 in Whitechapel but I always wondered what the streets were actually like and how did someone get away with such grissly crimes. We were not disppointed with the tour - it was great. Dickie our tour guide had a wealth of local knowledge, he was fun and just a genuine nice guy. Thanks Dickie for a great evening we have already recommended the tour to a number of our friends.

Tina, Birmingham
Went on this tour for my birthday with family and our tour guide was Dickie. We all really enjoyed this tour and Dickie definitely made it entertaining and informative at the same time. Anyone considering which tour to take should definitley take this one. Thank you for a brilliant end to the day!

Angie and Robyn, Norfolk and London
We had a great tour with Ken last night. He was such fun and a wealth of information. His sense of humor was great and he kept everyone engaged. He also cleared up a few questions of how Beefeaters got thier name...
Thanks Ken!
Highly Recommended Tour!
Angie and Robyn!

Jennie and Dave, Sheffield
This was a fantastic tour, we both really enjoyed it thank you. Our guide Dickie was extremely knowledgeable and I learnt lots about London in general as well as about Jack the Ripper.

Ray & Linda, Cambridge UK
We had a fabulous tour last night (17 July) and our tour guide Dickie was excellent...very entertaining and extremly knowledgable. If your thinking of a Jack the Ripper tour this is the one...well worth £7.00....thank you Dickie :-)

Jay Marsden, Boston, USA
I went on the ripper tour last week whilst in London. I cannot give to high a praise the guy who took around was called Ken. He was very informative about Jack the Ripper, subject knowledge was exellent and he gave information on the area and other pieces of information that made our trip go a lot better. I reccommend this tour now to all my friends. Trust me for £7 you cannot get better deal for money. Ken Thanks for a great time.

Joey Mack, Seattle, USA
I had to get on here and share my experience about this tour. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Myself and three other grad students went on this tour and had a great time. Our tour guide was Dickie, and he is the man. The guy gave us a rather creepy tour, but was also quite hilarious.

I would definitely recommened this tour and recommend Dickie. There were probably 20-30 people on our tour, and our guide did a good job at engaging everyone and keeping everyone close and making sure everyone had a good time. When I bring family back to London to visit we will go on this tour and request. Dickie. Thanks guy!

Dara Rosenberg, USA

I am writing this note now to tell you of the EXCEPTIONAL experience I had at the Tower of London. I spent a great deal of time there and took a tour with a
Beefeater named Dickie Dover. He was exceptional (as I'm sure all of your men
are).
The knowledge I recieved at the tour was informative, good natured, and simply all around wonderful.
My experience was so brilliant, that I decided on the spot to change my plans for the day just so I could be back in time for him to give the Ripping Yarns tour later that evening.

I had not planned on doing this before hand. Once
again, it exceeded my expectations. I was truly honored to spend the evening again with Dickie and be given another truthful, honest, historically accurate all around splendid tour.

Additionally, Dickie spent time talking with me (I tend to hang near the front...especially when traveling alone). I expressed to him that when not traveling I spend my time in the US working as a science teacher.

As I currently had no "official" plans for my time in London he offered what turned out to be some of the greatest advice of my trip.

He recommended that I take one of my days and head down to one of his favorite areas...Greenwich. I walked away with more knowledge than I thought possible, my picture on the Prime Meridian, and splendid photos of the former Brittish Naval College. It was one of my second most favorite days in London (only the day I spent at the tower on Dickies tour was better)!

Additionally, as I mentioned before, I was traveling alone. I obviously I booked a hotel (on the cheaper side) and was unsure if It was in a very safe neigborhood.
Dickie asked whereabouts I was staying at and gave me good solid information that made me feel safer about where I was staying (The Chelsea Guest House near Vauxhall station).

It put my mind at ease and I enjoyed my London experience ever so much more.

Please give Dickie my sincerest gratitude (print this and give it too him if at all possible...or put it in a personell file as well!). I am so honored to have spent time on both his tours and Iam deeply in debt to all of you for the peace of mind and exceptional experience I recieved.

Many many thanks! Dara Rosenberg

PS... I have also sent a letter to Rick Steve's USA guide book which I know you had him on your tour reciently and I hope he knows what a fab tour this is!! and he keeps it in the next edition!

Stephanie Harrison, Sevenoaks, Kent
Tonight, we experienced the tour with Ken. Not only was it highly entertaining but my friends and I found Ken kind, friendly and very charming.

We had a great night and for that we would like to say "thanks Ken."

We hope to see you at the Tower one day!

Bryan, New Jersey, USA

Wendy & Pat, Shropshire UK

Sarah Linley & Andy Gallacher, West Yorkshire, UK
We did the tour on 22nd June 2010 with Ken.

Left the Tower of London at 17.45 that day and the last Yeoman of the Guard we saw was Ken, what were the chances that he was also going to be our guide for the Ripper Tour!!!

Brilliant tour, brilliant guide, well worth it. Factual, interesting, funny – what more can we say?

I would highly recommend this tour. I will definitely be back to go again, later in the year as I'd love to experience it in the dark. Well worth the time & the money. 10 out of 10

Lawrence and Karen Cole, Horn Church, UK (formerly Seattle, WA USA)
My wife and I decided to do this tour for her 30th birthday and it was an AMAZING evening. Chris, our tour guide was so informative and entertaining bringing the story to life. We looked at other tours but this one was DEFINATELY the best. One of the most entertaining nights ever and VERY memorable. Well worth the money and time!

Kevin Nordin, London, England (and Red Deer, Canada)
I did the tour with my sister on June 9 and it was great. We had a nice American family in our group and the Mother always asked questions that in turn embarrassed the daughter. The following day I seen them in the Green Park tube station! What are the odds?!?

Angie and Robyn, London
Had a fantastic evening on the 4th June. Chris was our tour guide... He was funny, whitty and had a great knowledge of Jack The Ripper and the murders.

Hi Ken,
We were on your tour on 3rd June and loved every minute of the two hours and ten minutes entertainment, information and, (importantly), humour that you gave us. It was every good as the expensive activities in London.......... no, BETTER! We would (and have done already) recommend this tour to everyone.
Thank you very much for all our enjoyment of that evening.

This tour is awesome!! I would highly recommend it to people travelling to london and for people who live in london. Kevin was a great tour guide because he REALLY got into the story and kept everyone interested. He asked questions and put people on the spot when you least expect it which really made the tour because he really got into it!! Although the weather was rainy I had a blast so if you are looking for something different to do, I def recommend this!!

Marine, Tower Hill
Absolutely awesome!!! Chris is a brilliant guide and made the tour really lively. It was very obvious we were having a better time than the groups we met along the way! Don't hesitate!

Cold and windy Sunday 2nd May
Thank you Steve!!! We had a brilliant time exploring the Whitechapel murder haunts with you. You brought them to life in such a colourful way. So glad we found your company, which we have already recommended to friends!! We saw the rest but chose the best!!
This was definitely a highlight of our weekend!!!
Look forward to joining other tours in the future and maybe seeing you in your 'day job!'
Many thanks
Nina and Jo!!

Kelly Mongini , UK
Hi, Myself and a group of people from work joined the tour on Thursday the 6th May 2010. I wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we all had and thank you for a wonderful experience. Our Beefeater Simon was a great guide and kept us all amused/scared/entertained/informed and safe the whole evening. His wit and enthusiasm had us hooked from the beginning! I certainly learned a few things and I know that all of us will be recommending the tour. Many thanks again for a wonderful time. Kindest regards,Kelly.

Jared and sophie, Australia
Just got back from european trip. Jack the Ripper with Ken was the best thing. we are still talking about it and telling our friends. If you do this you will not be dissapointed. Ken Top Man cheers

Cristina, Mexico City
I loved the tour. I went on it about a month ago and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide was very friendly and always willing to answer all your questions. He spiced his story up with lots of details and not-so-common anecdotes. Highly recommendable!!!

Maria, London
Thursday 29th April 2010 tour - Kev was an excellent Guide and Master of Ceremonies. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour that made well-known streets and city landmarks come to life in the Victorian times.

Suzanne, Canada
My girlfriends and I from Canada did the Jack the Ripper tour on Sunday April 25th with Ken and we were definitely impressed with everything he told us about 'Jack'. He had a way of keeping our attention as he continued to tell the story... he even spooked us a few times with his loud frightening comments!! Other tour guides walked by with dull, boring approach - Ken made it exciting and mysterous!! Highly recommended and VERY satisfied with the tour!! I would absolutely recommend it to ANYONE who's in for some mysterous and exciting fun - it's a must see in London to us.
Suzanne

Bonnie :), Manchester, England
I came down to London on the 19th of April just for this sort of thing and well, I got 100% more than I expected. The very lovely, (and far better looking than Johnny Depp I might add! ;) ) Chris was our guide. He was fantastic at setting the scene and knew so much about the Ripper and the history surrounding it I was litterally hanging on his every word. He only gets marked down for taking the micky out of me being a Manchester girl! Other than that, 10 out of 10 on all fronts! I seriously recommend it to wannabe ripperologists and the mundanely curious alike and I won't hesitate to come again the next time I come down, thank you!

Linda Cheape, Falkirk Scotland
What a treat!! Dickie Dover was the perfect guide and storyteller. We enjoyed it immensley and would recommend it to everyone!.

mo karamat, New Jersey, USA
I was in London a few weeks back, and went on this tour with Steve- He was great! His knowledge of Jack and his escapades was fun, and interesting. Steve's delivery was also great fun! Highly reccomened tour!

Michael & Casey, London
AWESOME! Our guide last night, 21st April, really turned the whole tour into a great investigation/story, we was completely drawn in! Not just showing us the sites of the murders, but really painting a real picture of the time for us - thank you so much!! Druitt - GUILTY!

ANDY LEWIS, BRISTOL
WENT ON THE TOUR LAST WEEK ( 12/04 ),A REALLY ENJOYABLE AND INTERESTING WALK. DICKIE WAS SUPERB, HE DIDN'T JUST TALK HE ENTERTAINED AND INFORMED US NOT ONLY ABOUT THE RIPPER BUT LOCAL KNOWLEDGE AND HISTORY ALSO. WOULD RECOMMENDED THIS TOUR ABOVE ANY OTHER. NOT SURE I TOTALLY AGREE WITH DICKIE AS TO WHO JACK REALLY WAS, BUT IF WE ALL AGREED THERE WOULD BE NO MYSTERY.

Ana, Essex
I loved our tour. Dickie, our guide was amazing---he made the tour extremely fun with his wit and at the same time we were learning so much from all the information.

I would absolutely recommend this tour; you will not only be educated about the Jack the ripper murders but you will have a blast doing it...

Remember...6:45 pm^_^

Sue, Surrey
Great evening , would recommend this to anyone, very good value for money.
Dickie our guide should have been a actor he put so much
effort into everything he said it brought the whole Jack the Ripper story to life. I learnt alot about where old sayings came from, which now make sence. If your thinking of doing this tour just do it!! or you will miss a great night out.
Thanks again Dickie.

Philip L, London
Dickie was our guide and was excellent. Full of factual history and humour. 10/10. Would recommend you 100%. thanks very much for your efforts and great to see ex service personnel doing this job.

Sophie, London
I've been interested in Jack the Ripper for a long time and the tour was fantastic! I learnt lots of new things about Victorian London and the murders and it was so interesting to see all the sites of where the girls were actually found. I went on Fri 9th April, and our tour guide was Kev. He was so interesting and had some good jokes too! Would really recommend the tour to anyone, and for £7, I thought it was excellent value! Many thanks!

Charlotte O'Shaughnessy, Bristol, United Kingdom
I went on the tour on the 9th April with my mum, it was bloody fantastic (no pun intended)! We had Kev, he was amazing and really made it feel like we were in 1888. When i came away from the tour I had goosebumps everywhere even in my bones, but it was a great feeling!! I would recommend this to everyone!! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!

Jack Wilson, Kent
Took the tour last night and had a very good tour guide named Steve he showed us all the scenes of the murders and his knowledge about the cases made it very intresting.He also had a lot of good jokes

Yours Truly

Jack The Ripper

Hi !!! I would like to say a big thank you to Chris who, the 23rd of february, made me learn so much things about Jack.. My study about him at school have been much easier !!!
Merci beaucoup !!!
Nathalie

Caroline Jennett, Potters Bar, Herts
I went on the tour last night with my partner and my two teenage boys. It was great, we learned where the expression 'ten bells of sh**' comes from, the origins of 'rule of thumb' and why prostitutes are known as 'Toms'. Dickie, our guide, was great! As well as all the London knowledge, he kept the Americans informed as to where their Liberty Bell was made, and where the tea boxes for the Boston tea party came from. And we were taken right into the heart of Whitechapel, very atmospheric! My only criticism is that Dickie said he would tell us why Mary Kelly was able to run up six weeks arrears of rent, but I can't remember him saying. Is it a ploy to get us on another tour?? Please tell me! Thanks very much, it was a great end to our day out!

Camille, Toulouse, France
I did the tour last Tuesday with Kevin. I was with my boyfriend and we both found it great! (despite the cold and the intermittent rain!) It was very funny and also very informative. We really appreciated seeing some of the sites we knew the name of but had ever been to like the Ten Bells or Miller's Court (even Diagon Alley, which was a delightful surprise !).
I was advised to do this tour by one of my friends who did it, and I am not disappointed! I will definitely tell other people to go too. Thank you very much, Kevin!

Sally & Sheridan Haley, Leeds
Our tour guide was Kev, he was informative and fun. This was a surprise for my daughter's 21st (she is a criminology student) we loved it. Thank you

Amore Heydenrych, London, England
We went on the tour with Kev, and it was great! He made everything clear and the jokes were amazing. Thank you very much!

Fantastic tour.Dickie our guide was excellent with tales of the time.Easy to imagine the hardship and poverty,how things have changed in 120 years.

Louise Dinsdale, Basildon, Essex
Really enjoyed the tour tonight! Our tour guide Steve was very good and yes, we enjoyed your jokes!! Will definatly go again and reccommend to friends.

Jenny Hall, Shoeburyness. Essex.
I did the Jack the Ripper Tour on Wednesday 24th March with Dickie. What a fantastic tour, gripping to the end and also a fantastic tour guide who certainly knew the subject inside out and added lots off little extras as a bonus.
I will certainly do this tour again when family come to stay from Canada. I know they will all thoroughly enjoy it and so will I.

Gavin, Neath, Wales
Brilliant tour of the east end that really gave a true depiction of life in the 19th century. Endless facts and stats of the ripper mystery that filled all the gaps that other stories and documentaries have lacked. Dickie not only had a limitless knowledge of the ripper story, but this tour was also full of historical facts about London and the way the city has grown and changed through time. Don't let a wet drizzly night put you off, it adds to the occasion. Brilliant.

Sarah Schofield, Southend, Essex
I have just returned from one of the Jack the Ripper tours with this group, and arranged a private tour with 45 people.

Wow is all I can say, our guide "Dickie" what a fab guy and very very informative, he did not slip up at all with his talk, it just flowed from his mouth.

I will be recommending this to all my friends via facebook and even other groups I run in London.

It is worth every penny of the £7 each and what a great form of exercise, 2 1/4 hours of walking around the dark streets of London. I did at one point wish I was back in the times of Jack the Ripper, but it was only at the mention of the GIN!

Well done Dickie and thank you to your company for such an enjoyable trip.

We will see you soon with more victims! hahahaha

Soo and Ian, Essex
Can highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in old London and, of course, Jack the Ripper. We've read the books, seen the films and watched the documentaries but Dickie brought fresh insight, humour (those well timed pauses) and kept us all (40+ in the group) riveted for the whole tour.

mick anderson, essex
Bloody interesting tour, very informative guide (Dick), who added humour in his prestation. a great way to spend 2hrs

johl and frinds, Holland
We had an excelent tour with ken last week. we now understand about how Ripper worked and escaped the hands of police. very good

The Gannon Family, Alabama, USA
My husband and I had been to London previously and done a Jack the Ripper walking tour with one of the other companies. On this trip we brought our teenage daughter, who wanted to to a Ripper tour. We decided to go with Ripping Yarns and I have to say, we were not disappointed. Our guide, Chris, gave us an amazing experience. We had a large crowd, and every person on that tour paid at the end. Thanks Chris -- you were great!

Robin Tuttle, North Carolina
The tour was well done. There were a lot of great photos and drawings included. If you want the real story not cheesy scare tactics, this is the tour for you!

steve&mel, liverpool
we were so amazed what we had learned from chris he relived the story of jack the ripper with such detail and expression he was fantasic

Carolina Girls, North Carolina (States)
We took the tour and were mesmerized by our amazing tour guide Dickie Dover. He was brillant, dashing and entertaining. Would definitely recommend tour and would return when in London again!!!If we had contact info, one or more of us may request a private tour. THANKS FOR A GREAT NIGHT!

Love Carolina Girls!!!!

Alan and Debbie , Wirral
We took the tour on the 15th March, had a great time with our tour guide Dickie, his narration was excellent and full of great facts not just about Jack but about the area as well, you really got the feeling of the streets and conditions back in the day of the murders. Well worth the money.

Steve and Ruth, Walsall, West Midlands
17th March 2010

We did the tour last night 16/03/2010 and we both had a lovely night. The tour was extremely interesting and gave lots of information. Our guide Steve was really helpful and added humour to keep things light hearted. It was good to do the tour of the sites in the right order as other tours don,t. Will definately be recommending this tour to others. Thanks for a fascinating night Steve. Ruth and Steve.

Ryan & Nicki, Northampton,England
We were fortunate enough to have gone on the tour last night and we both agreed that 'Dickie' was fantastic, he really made you confident with his nowledge in the subject and his humour made it also feel light hearted
We would recommend this over any other Ripper tour because as Dickie himself said the others dont go close enough to the murder sites or in the right order!

Donna & Angela Galway, Poole, Dorset
This was a great tour and as cold and tired as we were 'Dickie' kept our attention to the max, with his great stoying telling ability, and some light hearted humor and plenty of good factual information, pictures to take you back to 1888, it was a great tour and highly recommended.

Dimitris , Roehampton
Dimitris, Mimika, Bronnwen, Kate, Laura, Mike

The tour was really nice, Dickie, walked us through the small alleys and not only explained the murders but also told us really interesting facts about the history of the White Chapel.

Definitely worth the 7 pounds, if you do it though, better be wearing comfortable shoes, lots of layers and be prepared for a long walk!

Pat Varney, Guildford Surrey
8 of us went on this tour on 27th Feb and whilst the weather was damp and cold, we had a fantastic time. Our guide was very funny and made a serious business lighthearted. Walked down streets one wouldn't normally go and really got the feel of the old London. Brilliant and well worth every penny - not to be missed. One word of warning - try not to walk around London all day before the tour!!

phil,carol, dani, anne, toni, and cloe, east grinstead west sussex
27/02/2010 a big thanks to steve for great tour, he really set the scene and brought the tale of jack the ripper to life with the way he put story accross. we all had a fantastic night. again many thanks.

Bev and Martin, South Wales
We took our tour on February 23, it was a miserable damp night and we loved it. We would like to say Thank you to our guide Kevin, who is an excellent story-teller very informative he told the gory tale with humour. It was nice to be in a smaller group as we were able to hear everything that Kev was saying.

Well worth the price I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who has an interest in Jack the Ripper.

Natalie & Graham, London
We would like to say thank-you to Kev - We went on the walk last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

We found it very interesting as this all took place very close to where we now live!!

The tour guide Kev did a fantastic job of making the tour interesting, informative, but also humorous, making it a very enjoyable night.

Marie and Nathalie, london and france
because my sister is studying jack the ripper at school, i decided to take her on the tour, which i'd never done before. what an amazing night! we were a small group, only about 15 people. it was great because we were able to chat with the guide as we walked. and what a guide we had !Chris was extremely passionate, really entertaining and very knowledgable . the story is fascinating, and he managed to bring it to life with great humour and details. we'd recommend it to anyone , it was an amazing night despite the cold!

Chris & Mary , Kent
Fantastic tour, Simon was so passionate and enthusiastic, a great couple of hours which was very informative and interesting. Would recommend to everyone.

Amy and Erika , Caterham
The tour was very informitive last night and we had so much fun. It was intresting going around the places that the actual murders had happened. The outcome at the end was very intresting.
Thank you so much you have jhelped us so much with our coursework!
Amy & Erika

Liz and Patrick, Leicestershire
A wonderful tour and Dickie was a fantastic guide. It was a cold, very wet evening, and this along with Dickie's wonderful storytelling made it all very atmospheric. Would like to do it again!

Stephanie, Brisbane, Australia
We had an amazing night and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the tour in dark, cold Whitechapel. Chris was a FANTASTIC guide with a great sense of humour and an amazing knowledge of all things London. He really set the scene of 1880s London and is clearly extremely passionate about his job. I learnt a lot more than I expected and appreciated he was open to giving advice about different aspects of London. I will be recommending this tour to everyone I know in London. Thank you so much!

Terry & Anna, Belfast
Dickie was our guide and very entertaining he was. It made a cold night in London very enjoyable and his knowledge of The Ripper was excellent. A brisk walk around the back streets of London to keep you on your toes. Thanks Dickie for a great evening

Sonja and Nik, Dumfries, Scotland
We thouroughly enjoyed the tour and Dickie was an excellent guide. His storytelling kept us hooked the whole way round! It was cold (well not too cold for us Scots!) and dark which added to the evening. We even got to see copies of photographs from the time which were very interesting. Thanks for a great evening!

tina and tony, Orlando
this was a great tour we went with a guide called ken. it was a cold night but Ken never faltered do this you will not be dissapointed

john , old kent road
although we had to brave the cold the tour was very nteresting and informative steve was a very nice guide

gordon and catherine, manchester
dick was are tour guide. we had a great time. we really got the feeling of history gone by. that these woman got killed by jack the ripper. and he was still lurking in the back alleyways of london. creepy but was really entertianing and educating. well done dick or was it jack.

Daryl Russ, Columbia, SC USA
After an overnight flight and all day touring, I was determined to see the Jack the Ripper tour on my first night in London, despite the frigid cold.
And the tour was well worth it. Chris was a great guy, funny, knowledgable and a great storyteller. I've read a lot of Jack the Ripper books but still picked up some new information and it was great to finally put the locations into some perspective.
Had a great cold night and can't wait to do it again some day.

Don and Sue Latimer, Whakatane, New Zealand
Thanks Chris for an awesome evening. It was entertaining as well as informative, and we will ber recommending the tour to all we talk to.

James , Los Angeles, California
Just wanted to stop by and say thanks so very much to Chris for a really great night. Jim and I had a great time talking with you. And Dave did a really great job as well. Thanks again mate.

Jim & Marie, Stoke-on-Trent, UK
Kev gave us such an interesting tour that we forgot how cold it was. We both had a great time and recommend the tour to anyone who is interested in the history of Jack the ripper.

Ricky and Lisa, Dublin, Ireland
just a quick comment to say that Steve gave a great tour and was very informative about jack the ripper. easily the best ripper tour in London! best of luck for the new year lads.

Betsy, Nancy, and Cyndie, Virginia, USA
My sisters and I went on the tour on Sunday night, Jan. 3. Our tour guide was Dickie - absolutley wonderful! He was great at leading the group, speaking loudly enough, and making the tour so very interesting! It was very cold that night, but it was well worth walking around where the murders took place for over two hours. It was a very interesting tour but I do think that Dickie made it extra special.

Julie, Alberta, Canada
Thank you Steve for the great tour! It was scary fun!

Mike Finch, London
Comments:
My son paid for me to go on this tour as a birthday treat and our guide was Dickie, who was terrific. His knowledge of London is formidable and he made everyone feel like the detectives that very night. We came away with a real sense of how life was for many folk just a hundred years ago and the appalling deprivation in the East End. How many guides bring along memorabilia like coins, photographs etc and we came away knowing much more about one of the greatest cities in the world [ours!] and all of my party felt it was superb value for just seven pounds.

Simonetta & Nicolas, France
Kev, you are a great guide. We enjoyed the tour so much, that we haven't even felt the cold weather (really cold indeed)!
Hope to take another tour with you next time with more friends. We learnt a lot about London.
Have a great 2010!

Caroline, France/ london
I loved our tour last night, it was brilliant.
Kev made it REAL with his sense of suspense, his wit and his props. We had a fab time and were so impressed by the amount of details, passion and enthusiasm Kev brought to us.
Thanks Kevin, we had a fabber time and feel a bit more knowledgeable about JRP (Liked that portrait at the end)
I thoroughly recommend it.

Paula & Neil Harrison, Southend, Essex
A fantastic tour, informative and interesting and didn't know where the time went. Simon, our tour guide, was superb, and we can't recommend his tour enough. If the other guides are only half as good as he was, it would still be a great tour. Particularly liked the trivia about the area Simon told us, he obviously has a great passion and enthusiasm for his work, which was infectious. Thanks for a great evening.

Sam Swanton, Chichester
Fantastic experience, well worth 2 hours in the snow and rain, which added to the atmosphere anyway. Simon the guide was exceptionally entertaining and informative, and we picked up all sorts of other interesting information from him - I now know where Diagon Alley is and how the Victorians stopped hansom cabs crushing pedestrians!! Two of your rival tours were on our heels, and we certainly seemed to be having the best time!! Thanks, would definitely do it again. Thanks to Simon - a great evening!

Tour guide Dickie Dover

The tour was absolutely excellent. It was informative, fun and cleverly devised. Our guide was equally superb; he was thoroughly well versed in his subject, possessed of wonderful public-speaking skills and the inclusion of the information cards regularly passed around the group was a lovely touch. The stop off at the pub was also warmly received! All in a great way to start an evening”. Matt W

caroline's group 5th December 2009, London
fantastic tour that completely engages you from the off. Dickie is a superb guide who through his wealth of knowledge and excellent delivery manages to re-create a real sense of what 19th century London would have been like whilst fully immersing you in the case of Jack the Ripper. Re-told in every lurid, gory detail, along with amusing asides, this tour manages to be both incredibly informative and brilliantly entertaining. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Sue & Gerrie, Adelaide South Aust.
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get here to give my comments ... life on the road is so busy!
We did the tour on 14th October 2009 and had a ball. Our guide was Kevin and I was the perfect stooge for him ... never failing to jump, twitch or gve a nervous scream as he told his wonderful tale ... peppered with jokes, props and lots of detailed knowledge about the events and the period. We both thoroughly enjoyed it and were delighted when we joined a tour of a nearby 'world famous World Heritage site' to discover Kevin in his daytime role was to be our guide. On both occasions he was very entertaining and informative. Thanks Kevin!

"An excellent tour, led by a born storyteller and a font of knowlege for all things regarding Victorian London. I recommend doing it in the dark and rain to add to the atmosphere"

John, Hanwell, London
Myself and two friends took the tour on 5th December and were very impressed by the atmospheric and scary narrative supplied by the guide. Thanks for a great evening old boss
From Hell!!!

Sharon Rowley, Leeds, England
We did the tour on Friday 4th Dec, and our guide was Dickie.
The tour was excellent and Dickie was really informative, as well as being quite humourous! The cold, dark damp weather on the night gave it an extra eerie feel.
Well worth the money - I can't imagne anyone wouldn't enjoy it, but it's a nice touch that you only have to pay at the end of the evening.

Ben Finch, Walthamstow, London
Fantastic evening with a brilliant guide, thanks to Dicky. Informative, interesting and at time quite graphic!
Almost as if i was there, would recommend to anyone with an interest in history and/or Jack the Ripper.

Hunter Everett, Dayton, Ohio
We took our tour on a miserably cold, wet night - and loved it. Our guide was the Marine, and he was top notch despite the bad jokes! We would recommend this tour to anyone, and if we return to London, we'll take it again.

We went on the tour on fri 27th nov 09, with guide Ken, who is an excellent story teller, he tells the gorry tale with humor and has good knowlege on the ripper story itself. we had a great time, well worth the £7, reccomend it to everyone who loves a good gorry tale.
Thanks for a great friday night in Londons Whitechapel!

Michael Weedy, Middlesbrough, Cleveland
We took our tour on 25th November with Dicky our guide. Very enjoyable and informative evening and I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone. Unsure about Dicky's opinion of who the ripper actually was however........ I won't spoil the surprise for anyone looking to take the tour!

Sue Bond, Essex, England
A Great Night had by Myself and friend Janet. Excellent tour, not only informative about Jack The Ripper but some interesting facts about surrounding area. A big THANKS to our tour guide Dicky for a job well done.

Anke de Vries, the Netherlands
Me and my boyfriend joined the tour on the 20th of November. The tour was scary, funny and fascinating at the same time. Really something I can recommend to anyone who is visiting London! Especially this tour since no booking is needed in advance, so you can pick whatever evening suits you best.
Kevin, in case you read this; thanks for the great evening!!!

Steven Dunne, Coventry
On Saturday 21st November my girlfriend and I were in London to celebrate her Birthday. She's always liked murder and mystery and whilst we had alot of plans for London we were both looking forward to this tour. It was cold and rain fell hard however the tour was fantastic. The Guide was very friendly and you could easliy tell that he had a love for what he was showing - the 2 hours soon passed.

Between talks I took in what other guides were saying as we passed and all i can say is that we made the right choice as the other guides sounded like they were reading from a script and just going through the motions.

My Girlfriend and I thought we knew alot about Jack The Ripper but by the end of this tour I promise you, you will know Jack..... Guys thanks for a Great experience that still has left me thinking today and has left me wanting to read more into the Ripper History.

An even bigger crime than that of the Ripper would be anyone who doesn't feel they should pay at the end of the tour because this was money well spent for us.

Jean-Paul Arends, Tilburg, The Netherlands
Went on the tour on sunday 22 november with tourguide Dicky and i can say it was an absolute blast. Intriguing and interesting. Highly recommended. I feel that we (the people i was with) picked the right tour. When you are in London definitely pick this tour. It was great! I'm gonna look up things about Jack the ripper now, Take care!

Michelle, London
Having always wanted to do the Jack the Ripper Tour I wasn't dissappointed when some friends and I got together for the tour on Tuesday 3rd November 2009. Our guide was Kev who was very informative but also very funny. We saw other tour groups on our way with so many people in, it was good to be in a smaller group and be able to hear everything Kev was saying. Not having to book was a bonus as the weather had been very hit and miss all day but luckily for us it stayed dry! I would definitely recommend this to my friends and would do the tour again.

Karen moore, London
Our guide was kevin on Friday 13th November. We enjoyed the tour kevin was a great guide who was full of information and really made the tour come to life. We would recomend this tour to our family and friends. from the three daudlers at the back

Isabelle, London
I have always wanted to do the Jack the Ripper Tour and finally myself and a group of friends got organised to do the tour on Tuesday 3rd November 2009, our guide was Kev. It was the most fun I have ever had walking around scary haunts in London. The guide was extremely knowledgable of the area and the murders and was very entertaining. You really got a feel for what London would have been like for people in 1888. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and I would want to do this tour again.

Matt Day, Bow (by way of Belmar, New Jersey, USA)
Fellas,
In the US, today is Veteran's Day, which honors all those who've served in the Armed Forces. So here's wishing you all a Happy Veteran's Day. Thanks for the tours - all of them!

Iles Family, Bristol
We were on the tour on the 2nd of November.
Ken was our guide, he was great!
Not only did he talk about Jack but also showed intrest about us, where from , what we had done so on so on!
I will tell everyone I know about the tour, it was a very good night out!
Thank you Ken

mollie, new york
kev you were great

Lauren & Paolo, Manchester
Our guide Dickie was BRILLIANT!! The tour was probably the best part of our visit to London!!
Dickie kept us captivated the entire time with his jokes and is amazing story-telling skills!! Dickie also took the time to speak to us whilst walking between each murder scene etc.
He really brought the events to life for us and recited the story as though he was there himself.
It was definitely worth the £7!
If your looking for a Jack the Ripper Tour this is the one to do!! We will definitely be recommending this tour to our friends and family!
Thanks for a great evening Dickie!

Anthony and Kirsty, East London
Hi we had a tour with mark tonight and he really made us feel we were actually witnessing the crimes as they were taking place, very descriptive and happy to answer all our questions.
Great tour.

Anne and Mark Miller, West Sussex
We have been wanting to do the tour for ages and we weren't disappointed, it was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide Chris was excellent and more than happy to answer any questions. We would happily do it again!

Erin and Prue!!, Sydney, Australia
Very imformative and Kev knew his stuff, but still not sure who Jack the Ripper was!! ;) Felt very welcome and the tour group was not too big so all of our questions were answered! It was fantastic and would recommend it to anyone!

Thanks again!

SJ Tolan, Canary Wharf, London
Had a great time on the tour, our guide Kev was really excellent. The tour and props were very good and Kev is clearly very knowledgable about the subject matter. I would highly recommend the tour if you want to know the true ripper story!

Eric & Leasa, Tampa, Florida
Excellent value for money, Our guide Dickie was superb, I have done tours with other companies and this was by far the best. His use of period photos along with his thorough commentary gave you a better sense of Whitechapel as it was during that time. Ask for him, you won't be disappointed!
Easily the best 7 quid I spent the entire week!

Cassie & Dave, Norfolk
Had a great time on the tour on Halloween. Kev was our guide, he was informative, lively and funny - well, he tried! ;0) And you could tell he enjoyed telling the story. Would definately reccomend it. Thank you :0)

Martin Skinner, Ottawa, Canada
Very imformative and entertaining. Ken has a fantastic presence and delivered a great performance. It was a brilliant blending of fact, experience, and entertainment. I would take this tour again...not once, but TWICE!

Tara, The Netherlands
I really loved the tour, have seen a lot en the man that told everything yesterday is a fantastic story teller!(and makes great jokes:P)

Ian, Essex
Kev was really good and his knowledge was second to none, excellent night spent in london

Max & Jen, Surrey
Great way to spend a spooky Halloween night. Dickie, our guide was a great story teller! Would definitely recommed!

Media Law Firm, London
Having organised a work Hallowe'en themed evening, I was apprehensive that the speaker wouldn't be up to our form of wit.. I needn't have worried, Kevin was brilliant as a tour guide and one of our Partners even reported that he walked home spooked! Well done Kevin - we would have no hesitation in recommending your Walk to anyone.

Hayley Jones, Aberdare, S Wales
I took my mother to London for her 50th Birthday an we took the tour on Friday 23rd Oct, Chris our guide was very good and very dramatic he really captured out imaginations. i would highly recommend this tour to anyone. thank you for a great experience.

Sian, Bristol
Took this tour on Friday 23rd October and thoroughly enjoyed it! Chris was an excellent guide and managed to captivate my imagination and transport us back 1888. It was easy to imagine the streets as they were over 120 years ago even though Eastenders was playing on the TV in the building opposite! Would thoroughly recommend this tour and will be taking it again with other family members next time we are in London.

Christine , London, UK
Dickey was a great tour leader. The tour was very informative about London (and Whitechapel specifically) in the 1800's in general. Although I thought the tour group was slightly big at first I could hear every word and never missed anything. The tour is a total of 2.5 hours (I think the longest of them all) and is jampacked with interesting facts - the first time I looked at my watch was 20 minutes before the end! Tour starts early 18h45 so you'll still get in bed at a decent hour. Thank you!!

Angela, Essex
Thanks Steve
It was a great evening - still disagree about your suspect though!!

Warren and Vicki, Sydney, Australia
We've been living in London for nearly 4 years and are about to head home. Despite our time here, we learnt so much about the history of London and Kevin was very captivating and made the tour fun. His delivery of telling the story Jack the Ripper was both entertaining and insightful. I highly recommend this tour.
Cheers Kevin!

Kate, London
Thanks Kevin for such a great tour. Really informative and fun, we had a blast....

Ashley Glover, Kingston, WA USA
My husband and I traveled all over Europe and took lots of different tours. However, the Jack the Ripper Tour was our favorite. Kev-had so much information not only about Jack the Ripper but about London history as well. Thanks Kev for a such a wonderfully creepy evening.

Maggie Young, Ipswich Hospital
We had a 'private' tour with Chris last night, and it was just brilliant! He told the story well, and kept us captivated. Thank you Chris for making the journey more than worthwhile!

Marion Anderle, Vienna, Austria
Was the best tour I´ve made in London, really amazing!!! Thank you, Ken!!!

Phil, Newcastle
A fantastic dark intense but gripping tour giving by a true expert guide, thanks Chris for a truly memorable experience.

Babs. lucy., Rochdale
Just brilliant Ken Thanks

Rachel & Rob, Northants
The walk on the October 10th with Mark was fantastic! Great evening out with loads of facts that we hadnt heard before and was great to be able to pass the photos etc around.Thanks for a brilliant tour!

Matt Day, Bow, London
I must say that my second tour was thoroughly as enjoyable as the first. (Sorry, Dickie, but Ken is very good at what he does as well ... ). The entertainment and education, not only about the murders, but the Victorian way of life during that time, is easily worth the tour price.
Thanks to both Ken and Mark for their professionalism and courtesy and special thanks to Ken for the unexpected bonus thrown in as well.

Jenny, Cheshire,England
My American friend Dan & I went on your tour in September. Our guide was Steve & he was excellent!~~very interesting & entertaining.The walk around Whitechapel was fascinating.We really enjoyed our"gruesome"evening!~~& would highly recommend your tours.

Virginia, London
Had a great tour with guide Mark, excellent stories, great pace, great sense of humour, it was really worth it! Thank you very much! I will definitely be taking this tour again soon!

Greg & Alison , Warrington, Cheshire
I'm not someone who is easily impressed so the Thursday 8th October tour with Kev the beefeater was a brilliat evening walk and tour of Whitechappel. Our interest was kept going with a mix of humour and story telling and the odd shock tactic (go on the tour to see what I mean!) you must go on this tour if you are in London, fantastic value and entertaiment

Vince & Colette Brotherton, Derby UK
Great tour with lots of information. Dickie was an excellent guide and really made 1888 come to life. Would recommend to anyone.

Mark, Norfolk
Best night out in London ever. Our tour guide Steve The Frog brought the story to life with his punchy wit and charm. What a gent, worth every penny.

Dave & Irene, Llanishen Cardiff
Many thanks to Kev for a truly fantastic Sat Oct 3rd tour ,I would recomend him to any one thinking of going he is very knowledgeable and did put a twist on it I wouldnt have thought of and I have read books on the subject

Peter and Jo Threlfall, Birkenhead, Wirral
We went on a Jack The Rpper Tour on Sat 3rd October, with Kevin, which was superbly put acoss to the group in such a professional and knowledgable way. He also injected a bit of humour into the tour, but always at the right times, and never disrespectful to the errible events of 1888. I consider myself to have a basic knowledge of those tragic deaths, but Kevin put a few spanners in my train of thought as to who I might have considered to be the murderer (I won't spoil it for anybody!). Absolutely fantastic, and would love to do it again.

Sarah, Glasgow
Had an awesome tour on the 25th with Chris, would highly recommend this particular tour to everyone interested!

Clare, Manchester
Had a fantastic time on the tour with Chris (on the 21st). Would highly recommend to anyone.

Sara,Samuele,Alessia,Miriam and Enrico, Florence
We did the tour on 20th August with Dickie..It was really wonderful!! It was good to listen this story from Dickie who explained it very well, only a little bit fast for us italians...but we recommend it to all, that want to do a travel in the past of London...Greetings from the fantastic five

iain tordoff, Leeds, yorkshire

Lindsay Phillips, Birmingham, UK
The tour was a last minute addition to our schedule but it was well worth it. The price was very reasonable and the tour was excellent. A special mention to our wonderful tour guide Dickie who made the experience unforgettable!!

Mark G, Bermondsey, South London
THE best and only Ripper tour that anyone should embark on!! Kevin- our guide is very amusing and informative (his jokes have also improved since the last time I did the tour too!!). Thoroughly recommend it- brilliant!!

Claude and Lise Mercier, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
We had a great time on the tour with Kevin. It was spooky (at least he tried to make it spooky), funny at times but always interesting. The tour was well worth it. Thanks again.

Clare, London
Fantastic tour by Dickie, great story teller. Thanks.

Saskia Konynenburg, London
Me and my friends had a really great time, we liked the way there were other historical facts included that weren't just about Jack the Ripper. Kevin was a great guide, and his jokes created a great atmosphere with good banter. Thanks Kevin!

Ekene Uzor, London
I had a great time with my colleagues. Our tour guide was great and had an excellent memory (I suppose it's something he does regularly but even then) remembering names, dates and laces with ease. He was a great story teller.

Katy, London
We had booked onto another tour but we had trouble finding them and they left without us. Thank goodness Chris kindly allowed us to join his tour and was a fantastic host - much better than the one we had likely booked onto in the first place! You totally saved our bank holiday Sunday Chris, thank you for being such a star.

Shirley, London
Dickie was excellent I think he enjoyed telling the story as much as we all enjoyed hearing it. Although as Londoners we grew up with the story of Jack, Dickie brought it to life and made it seem all the more real - brilliant

Lucy 29, Banbury UK
Dickie was great - Thanks for a very informative tour.
I was worried I would not be able to hear as the group was quite large but I could hear every would of Dickies strangely familier voice.
Highly recomended.

Courtney Crocker, Smithfield, NC
While on holiday in London last week, I had the privilege of taking the tour with Steve on a cold, rainy night. I was glad I had my Wellies on, and that Steve was such an absolutely brilliant guide to make the most of the experience despite the rain. Not only was the tour informative, but Steve brought the facts to life with his wit and charm. I will be spreading the word from this side of the pond that everyone should take this tour when visiting London. Thanks, Steve!

Jan, London, England
My friend and I have been meaning to do a "Ripper Tour" for ages and finally did on 08 September. We're so glad we picked this particular tour! Kevin, our guide, was really informative and very entertaining and knew lots about the area. The advert states that if you don't enjoy the tour, you don't have to pay but I can't imagine anyone being disappointed. Highly recommended!

James, 24, Tower Hill
As a new resident to the area I was interested by the signs i see reeguarly getting off the tube and along with my friend we decided to take the tour. Chris the tour guide was awesome, informatine , charasmatic and amusing.
All in all i would reccommend the tour to anyone, although the vivid descriptions of some of the murders did make me feel a little ill. However this added to the experience.

Jodie, Chelmsford
Was very interesting and educational, Steve our guide managed to lighten the gory atmosphere... excellent guide, excellent tour! Thank you!

Therese, Harlow, UK
I wanted to do something different for my birthday 28.08 -and choose the Jack the Ripper Tour. We were a group of 8 friends and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Kevin the guide was fantastic - and we have already recommended the tour to several other friends.
Entertaining 9/10
Value for money 10/10

==> WHAT A FANTASTIC TIME! <==
==> Dickie Dover rules!!! <==
One of the most captivating tours I've ever experienced by far, and one that I will definitely repeat several times.
Value for money cannot be beat, and those were some of the most grizzly photos I'd ever seen.
Thanks, Dickie, for a splendid time!!!

sean naylor, gillingham kent
i took the tour just over two years ago and this time took my 15 year old nephew. last night 31.07.2009 friday.
kevin was the guide, and makes the tour come to life a really friendly, polite and well presented man and you only have to look at other tours whilst on route to realise what nugget we have in this tour . waiting for the pin to drop and burning the candle at both ends fantastic facts brouht us to the end of the day as well as tour , fantastic, fantastic , fantastic

Kirstin, Germany
I had a great evening in Whitechapel. Our guide was very funny and his very British black humour made the tour even better. I always wanted to see the quarter where Jack the Ripper was lurking around and I'm very glad that I joined the tour.

Roman, New Mexico, USA
The tour was amazing, and the tour guide made it even more interesting by really getting into details and by the way he told the stories. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

It's a must see, while your in London!

Anne and Mark Cryer-whitehead, Milton Keynes
Thank you Mark was a great tour. We was on our honeymoon and what better way was to come to London and go on the tour.

Brent Stevenson, Northern Ireland
Cannot recommend the tour enough! It was great; you feel the atmosphere where Jack carried out his gruesome acts and see the places that the poor girls frequented!

Ken, the tour guide, was knowledgeable and brought it all to life and the whole tour was exceptional value for money!

Well done!

Matthew, Manchester
Of all the things I did in London that weekend, this was the best, and the cheapest. Cheers Ken. I have read books on the ripper before but genuinely learned some new and very interesting points on the suspects.

We were looking for a different tour group when we happened upon Dickie getting ready to start a tour. I am so glad we found him. The tour was fantastic. Dickie was engaging and funny. Time flew by on the tour, and Dickie's pub recommendations were spot on.

michelle bailey & sandra machin, south yorkshire
We took the tour on fri 26th june 09. Kev was our brilliant guide, very knowledgable on the subject and obviously enjoys conducting the tour. His jokes were absolutely hilarious! (maybe a slight over exaggeration). Keep up the good work & have been telling friends to look out for you!

Cary House, Indiana, USA
Just back from a vacation to London and Paris. I took the tour on June 24th with some students from the USA. Kev was our guide and he was fantastic. I have been on this tour before and Kev made it as interesting as if I had never heard the Ripper story. What I love about these guys is that they will give you so much more of the history of London, not just Ripper info. Thank you so much Kev!

Liz Farrell & Anne-Marie Holmes, West Midlands
We went on the Tour on Friday 26th June, Kev was our guide and was excellent. He gave us the facts, took us to the murder sites or as near as he could, suggested possible suspects and gave us clues to let us make our own conclusions, of who the Ripper actually was. It was a very informative tour and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to find out about the Ripper killings.

Liz, Louise, Wendy and Dave, London
Fab night. Thank You so much for taking us to Diagon Alley. 3 tours in 1 (obviously Jack the Ripper, a little bit of Da Vinci and Harry Potter all rolled into 1!!) Shame about the rat Kev!!

Susan and Chris, Surrey, UK
We did the tour on Friday 26th June 2009. Our tour guide was Kev. Kev you were a brilliant tour guide, you might need a bit of practise on your jokes (only kidding!) but we really enjoyed the tour with you. We will be recommending you to our friends, and we will be coming up again in the near future for another tour! See i told you i'd put a comment on the guest book and recommend you so that you wouldn't have to pay for the drinks at the end of year party!! If you need a few more guest book comments to beat the others, let us know!!!!
P.S You still can't scare me with those squeaking plastic rats!!

Alastair & Donna, Ripon North Yorkshire
Went on a tour with Steve as our guide last Sunday night.Had a great time and saw bits of London i would never had known about if i had not done the tour.Great jokes,chilling tales and the best £7.00 you will spend.Dont be shy you will enjoy.

Jenny & Amy , Orlando, USA
May 18, 2007 Great walking tour of the streets of Whitechapel. Our tour guide Chris, was very knowlegable of Jack The Ripper and certainly kept you hanging onto his every word with such wonderful whit! This tour was the highlite of our short visit to London. How does he store all that information? Would have loved to visit a pub afterwards with the whole group! Well worth the money!

Margaret & Graham, Kent
Tour with Kevin on Sunday was excellent. His humour, knowledge of the subject and great presentation skills, certainly made up for the absence of original environment of the time.

Derek & Jane, Surrey
Brilliant tour with Kevin - Very interesting and funny at the same time. Well done and highly recommended.

N, London
Did the tour on Saturday 16th. Kev was our guide and he was brilliant! A really enthusiastic tour guide with a genuine interest in all things Ripper related which only helped make the tour more captivating. Can't recommend the tour highly enough!

Jane, London
Great tour - Kevin was a brilliant and hilariously entertaining guide. Highly recommended.

PS sorry about the swearing, Kev!

John Field, Ashtead United Kingdom
Great tour on Saturday and Kevin was a tremendous guide. Didn't see any rats but he retold the story well and it was interesting to see a part of London I don't know. A worthwhile trip and one we would encourage everyone to make.

Alan and Yvonne, Ockendon, Essex
What a great time we had, Lots of surprises with all the information Dickie gave us, a very friendly person and made our day. unlike so many other places the value for money was fantastic.

Chris told us a great story and kept us entertained for the whole two hours. We really enjoyed his humour. He said to use the name Kevin (other guide) if we did not enjoy ourselves......

Alan Fisher, Brighton
An excellent tour. I have done a few other tours but this was the best Ken thanks for a great evening.

Julia, Worthing
This was a great walking tour, which I would highly recommend to everyone! Our tour guide Kev was very knowledgeable and provided a very factual (and chilling) account of the Ripper events. He also had a great sense of humour and was regularly telling us witty jokes - which made the tour not only very interesting, but fun as well. Watch out for the rats!!!!

Jackie, Reigate, UK.
My friends and I joined the tour not knowing quite what to expect. It turned out to be a great couple of hours full of fascinating fact and story, not just about Jack the Ripper, but about London in the Victorian age. Incredible value for money at £7! Many thanks to Kev and Mark for a great evening.

Jo, Sutton
Would highly recommend this tour - great value for money, interesting and informative. Fascinating part of London - definitely not on the usual tourist trails. Kev kept us all glued to the story of the Ripper; not sure I bought the theory, but had fun arguing about it!

susan, gail and gang, England
We met up for a tour, i do not want to sound boring, but this was great. not at all what we expected. ken who was our guide was exceptional in his presentation and knowledge of the area as well as keeping us in suspense with Jack the Ripper. all in all an excellent night of entertainment and so cheap.

Richard, Cambridge, UK
We had a great tour of the Jack The Ripper sites last night with our tour guide Simon. I would very much recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks again Simon!

Gill, Epsom
Walking in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper and his victims was a disturbing but fascinating insight in to the life and squalid conditions of the poor and destitute in Victorian London. This tour must be the best value for money in London!! Brilliant story telling by Kev and Mark - historians and real life Beefeaters - with plenty of audience interaction - especially in the pub afterwards! Thanks for a great night and look forward to follow up visit to the Tower!!

Hannah, Cambridge England
Excellent tour! Dickie was brilliant, he was very informative and entertaining at the same time. Would definatley recommend to anyone interested in the Ripper! Thanks Dickie!

dave barker, plaistow

I took this tour in December of 2000 and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have recommended it to friends and family traveling to London since and plan to do it again next month when I return to London.

Catherine, South London
We had a really good evening on the 10th April.
Chris was a great guide with lots of information. Was certainly a different way to spend my birthday. I would highly recommend this tour.

Karen , Philadelphia
My husband and I did the Jack the Ripper tour with Steven when in London late March and absolutely loved it. He is a fabulous story teller and had us captivated for the full two hours. Knowledgeable about his subject and humorous--who could ask for more. Thank you Steve!

Michael , Lincoln,Leeds
An excellent experience with the fantastic Dickie. Clever word play and impeccable timing combined with information and discription makes the tour something you must do.

Paul Hussey, Haywards Heath
Went on the tour on Good Friday with the excellent Chris as our guide. Thoroughly enjoyable evening and would recommend this tour to anyone.

Roger, London
Had a wonderful evening. Chris was an excellent guide and made the tour very enjoyable for everybody.

It was also very informative and the various visual aids and darkness added to it.

Paul H, Essex
Had a great evening - fun, endlessly informative and unexpectedly witty. Dickie was a great guide, very animated and obviously passionate about his subject. Can't remember a guided tour I enjoyed more - and I've been on a few!

Excellent value, unforgettable - go, you won't regret it for a minute. Think you're not interested in the Ripper? Let Dickie change your mind!

sandra, nottingham
Asolutely brilliant, really enjoyed the tour. Would recommend this when on a visit to london...excellant

Sioban Clark, London
On behalf of the staff and friends from the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich many thanks for a fun and fact filled tour of the streets of Whitechapel. The whole evening was bought to life very vividly and with humour.

The pictures were gruesome and our intrepid guide Kevin kept the rats at bay.

Highly recommended for visitors and Londoners alike.

Bryan Sifford, Charlotte, NC
A friend in London told me this is the best Jack The Ripper Tour and no question about it!!!

Nice that they keep it to small groups where they split a large number of people who showed up into groups of ~15-20 each while we saw a guide from another Jack tour with ~60 people in his tour.

With the small groups there is a lot of interaction; I cannot even imagine the tour with ~60 people in our group.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour!!!

Lisa, Herts
I went on the tour for my 21st on Sat (28th) and i had the best time!

Ken was amazing and certainly knew his stuff.

We came home and explained about the rats to my brother who is 8 and he was in hysterics for ages and has even gone into school to tell his friends what to do if you come across a rat!

This is one of the best things i have ever done and i sure won't be forgetting my 21st for a very long time thanks to Ken...AMAZING GUY!!

Thank you so much!

sharon , North wales
Thankyou Ken a great night out. great way to see londons history.:-)

Thanks to Dickie for a great evening.

Rich Downes, Chester
The tour was interesting, informative, gripping, entertaining and gave a real sense of the chilling murders that took place!
However this would not have been quite the tour it was without Dickie the tour guide! He was fantastic!

Pete Mortimer and Joanna Iacurti, North Wales, UK
Tour Date: Sunday 15th March 2009.

There's not alot I can say other than... -

"GO ON THE TOUR AND SEE FOR YOURSELVES!!"

It was a fantastic night, which took us around all areas of Whitechapel! The group sizes are great, not too big, and our tour guide 'Dickie' was superb. His knowledge, humour and facts, truely made the tour fantastic.

I wouldn't hesitate to go for a second time, Mitre Square was very spooky and some of the smaller streets we managed to visit (which the other tours could not due to size) made it that extra special.

A big thanks to Dickie for a great tour!! I would reccommend this tour to most ages! We are both in our early 20's and it was one of our highlights of our 4 days in London.

Thanks again Dickie!!

Sarah & Iain, Hinckley, Leicestershire
Took tour on Sunday 15th March, Dickie was our guide.
We had a fantastic time on the tour, which was fun and informative.
Although the Whitechapel area has thankfully improved over the years, visiting the sites of the murders with a knowledgable and entertaining tour guide, certainly helped to bring the information to life.
Dickie we also enjoyed sharing a pint with you in the pub afterwards, where you continued to add to our knowledge of the history of the area and you day job!
I would highly recommend this tour.

Mandy Gill, West Midlands England
We went on the tour on the 14th March and had a fantastic 2 Hours. Kevin was our guide and had the superb balance of humour and fact. I would definately recommend this to anyone.

Jessica & Jamie, Los angeles, CA
We stumbled upon Dickey and his group in an attempt to take a later tour that night...luckily we were early and found this tour. It was great. Over two hours but interesting for every minute. The tour guides are wonderful story tellers and we had a great time. Don't waste your time with other tours, this is the best! Thank you for a great last night in London. Very spooky and interesting. Complete with reference pictures. Get Dickey or Mark!

Matt and Laura, Ealing, London

Our tour guide was Kevin and he was very very good. He kept our group, which was a private tour, very enthusiastic and involved. I would definitely recommend these tours to everybody and definitely book Kevin! Well done and thanks very much.

Dickie provided us with a very enjoyable, knowledgable and entertaining tour of parts of London I never knew existed. Thanks for a great evening. 27/2/09

Paul & Denise Whiteley, Blackpool, LAncashire
Dickie was our great guide - very knowledgeable - spent a very informative evening 23/2 with tales of the ripper and his victims. Saw parts of this great city we would not have ventured to alone.

John Davis, LONDON
Had a great 2 hours tour round London with Kevin as our tour guide on the 20th Febuary. I must admit most of his jokes are good but needs some new material. Must go on tour for anybody visiting London.

Roger, London
Had a great time on the Harry Potter tour!!!! Would recommend it to everyone. Kev was very funny and a great guide.

Elliot and Sydney, Upstate New York, USA
Mark was an excellent guide displaying a firm grasp of the story and the history of the area. He showed a keen ability to inject comic relief into the grisly story at the right times as well, which was probably one reason that my 13 year old daughter loved the tour from beginning to end.

Paula and Tony, Liverpool
Excellent tour on a very cold Friday the thirteenth. Kevin really knew his stuff and kept us entertained for the full duration. Would recommend the tour to anyone. Thanks again.

Paul & Jackie, Hertfordshire
What a great night! Simon was our very enthusiastic guide with a mind full of information, not only about Jack The Ripper but of the London area in general. A good couple of hours brisk walking around the streets you would probably not see otherwise. Knowing these guys are also Yeoman of the Guard, tells you the information given is as correct as can be. Well worth a visit! 5 star.

The Wyganowski', Kemp and Cowell families, Essex
We booked this tour as our son's are studying Jack the Ripper as part of their GCSE History this year. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening and Dickie our guide was excellent and really brought to life what Victorian East End London was like. He was very knowledgeable and witty and the boys learnt a lot more than they had in class! The group was not too big and it was chilling to stand on the spots where the Ripper had murdered his victims! A wonderful two hour tour and very good value for money. The evening was rounded off by a visit to a curry house in Brick Lane - a must for all visitors to the East End.

Sarah, London
I booked a private tour with Steve for my boyfriends birthday. It was awesome, Steve was funny and knew his stuff. It was a hugely entertaining couple of hours and I'd fully reccommend these guys. :-)

Nick, London
My tour of 13 had a great time on this tour, hosted by the great Kevin. I missed half of it unfortunately due to work commitments (bllah) but Kevin kept me updated all night. Im sure he just loved saying my full name cos he said it loads of times.
very informative and laid back host was perfect for the snowy conditions and he always made sure we were enjoying ourselves every step of the way.
Highly recommended

Neil & Debbie, Kent UK
Kev was our guide and he certainly knew his stuff. The two hours just flew by and we had a great time and brought it all to life.
Much appreciated and well done!

Steph, Cambridgeshire, England
My boyfriend and I went on the tour for his birthday. Didnt really know what to expect when booked it. Steve was our tour guide who was very very good, funny and certainly knew what he was talking about. We see a few other tours when we done the walk in different locations and i felt we made the right choice by going with this tour as the other guides seemed to be too young. Found the tour very interesting and would definatly recomend to anybody. Was a cold night but you soon didnt feel the cold with the story etc.

Harry-O, Watford U.K.
My blood-thirsty family booked this tour as a birthday treat on January 31st, Steve was our guide who brought the story to life on a freezing night with his warm personality and excellent telling of the the tale,would thoroughly recommend the evening, and bringing some red mulled red wine in a flask on a cold night ..or would that resemble some other liquid too much?!

Sue and Georgie (:, Gloucestershire
Dickie was our guide on Sunday 1st Feb, and he was fabulous! He brought the infamous life of Jack the Ripper to life and the evening was made even more atmospheric by the snow! HIGHLY reccomended!!!

Sian Powell, Northamptonshire
Chris was our guide and I could not fault him even if I tried. Not only did he have info about the ripper but also had answers to any questions asked. Have not stopped raving about it since I got back and have told all my family and friends to do it. Excellent thanks alot!!!! ; )

Shakailla and Ben =D, West London, UK
Dickie was our tour guide on this chilly and snowy evening!! He was very informative without sounding boring or going on and on. We found him very approachable and a funny guy!
The tour itself was very entertaining, but very spooky!!
Especially in Mitre Sqaure where I have read that the ghost of Catherine Eddowes has been spotted (!) Anyway, to top it all off, it was an enjoyable experience and well worth roaming the East End in the freezing cold snow!! Ben and Shakey xxx

Adel, south shields, UK
My guide Dickie was a wonderfully eccentric man who made the tour worth every single penny.
An excitingly eerie walk, the tour was absolutely fascinating and put together very well.
I can't stop telling my friends about it and would definitely do it again!!

Amanda, Kristin, and Rachel , South Dakota, USA
Kevin was our guide (This would finally be the blonde studying at Oxford and her two American friends who ran into you again the next day at the Tower....the day after you got an autograph from hmmm...Tori Spelling I am thinking?) Any how we lost your card til just now (I know....bloody Americans costing you your end of the year drinks). But we would highly recommend Kevin and his tour to everyone. It made for a great evening of entertainment and we apologize for commenting so late. We hope you still won!!!! Maybe your co-workers will be gentlemen and let you count this towards next year :0 )

Chris, the Tour Guide, was absolutely amazing on the tour we took around Jan 16th. I'll never forget him and don't know how he remembered that much information. He was a walking computer! Great Personality, Wonderfully fun and exciting!
Leah & Piper--the two American blondes

David Bennett , UK
Steve was our tour guide - (27 January 2009). He was fantastic! Love Mum!

Had a great tour with Mark on Sat 24/1, very interesting and well organised. Would recommend it to anyone.

Bonnie, Sheila and Tara, California/New York, USA
We really enjoyed this tour. Steve was the best tour guide!! He was funny, knowledgable and made the tour so much fun. We learned so much about the history of Jack the Ripper, the city of London and what life was like then. Thanks so much Steve. We will recommend this tour to everyone!!!!

Tammy Brown, Findern, Derby
It was my 40th birthday and this was my treat, I dragged along 6 friends, some who knew nearly nothing about Jack The Ripper.(They are all now fasinated) Dickie, our guide was fantastic, particulaly when describing some of the more gruesome facts! I would recommend this tour company to anybody if they want a great nights entertainment. Thanks also go to Kenny for making my weekend so special.

Paul,Keiley,Jeannine and Darren, Bolton and Sudbury,Canada.
Went on tour a bit sceptical about how good it was going to be,No Problem,really enjoyed it and Kev was very confident and informative all the way through the tour,Thanks

jane and rob , cornwall
we have just returned from london for the weekend and went on the tour with Kevin as our guide. We throroughly recommend anyone visiting london to enjoy a 2 hour tour of the east end. Kev was informative, fun and bought history to life!!

Viv & Steve Chaffe, Chelmsford Essex UK
What a great tour ! Kev proved to be an excellant guide, he kept us entertained from start to finish. Steve found it particually interesting as for 35 years he worked around the places that the bodies were found (crispin st, fenchurch st and whitechapel)yet he had no knowledge of this, as there arn't any plaques recording this ! why is that ?perhaps a coverup ?
So who was Jack the Ripper ? a bit like why did Princess Di die ? I guess we're never truly know. Great fun xxx

Jean & Kev Wilky, Southampton
Great Tour, Steve very informative, but was so cold would love to go again in warmer weather!!!!!!

Kevin Eisner, New York, USA
The tour was brilliant. My friend and I had a really good time and was very impressed that this was the only Jack the Ripper tour that actually goes into Whitechapel. Dickie was our guide and he was very informative, funny and gave you different views of who the killer might actually have been. A must for any fan of this part of London's history.

richard chow + chris evans, london + new zealand
excellent tour.kevin was very funny and entertaining.loved the tour and did the walk again in the day time the next day

Hazel, Staffordshire, England
Simon was our fantastically informative tour guide. It was a great couple of hours learning not only about the world's most famous anonymous murderer, but also a little more about London's general history. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks Simon and Merry Xmas!

Clive and Louise Thompson, Milton Keynes UK
Thoughly enjoyed the tour, we learnt lots. Kevin a great tour guide, thanks.

emily, trawden, lancashire

Went on this tour with ken last week, trust me it was well worth it. do not worry about the waether. ken was proffessional throughout the tour. best value ever,
cheers mate

Janice, USA
My friends and I absolutely loved the Jack the Ripper tour. Dickie was everything we could have asked for in a guide - very knowledgeable, friendly, and a great storyteller! He knew just how to keep us in suspense for 2 1/2 hours. I will definitely recommend this attraction to all of my friends who visit London. Keep up the great work!

Gary and Keily, Hertfordshire
Right from the start our guide Dickie was friendly and enthusiastic and even made a path through a rival tour party to get us the best spot in Mitre square. Dickie's knowledge and wit made the tour thoroughly enjoyable and informative, Dickie was a real storyteller and he almost made you feel like it was 1888. Highly recommended and great value for money, keep up the good work guys.

CHLOE, Swansea
Me and my mother went on the tour on the 1st of December and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! Kevin was our guide and he was very informative and eager to answer any questions, he spared no details and threw in a few jokes along the way. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone-it was the highlight of my trip to London!! Thanks Kev!!!

KATE, CARDIFF
I learned so much from this tour. It was fantastic as was our guide Mark - he kept the whole group mesmerised with what I can only describe in the words of Frank Carson "Tis the way you tell 'em". His voice carried well and even when we were between "scenes" he told us lots of interesting facts and showed us where the Diagon Alley footage was shot. Cannot sing his praises enough! FAB FAB FAB FAB!

serena, london
great night,brilliant tour,our guide was great full of knowledge,with a lot of laughs and scares thrown in.highly recommended,wanted to do this tour for a long time wasnt dissappointed would dop it again thanks for a great night

heather, TEXAS
Went on the tour on 20 Nov 2008 and it was great. I am sorry I do not remember the guides name mostly because of the pub afterwards, however, the tour was UNFORGETTABLE. Thank you for the knowledge and entertainment.

liz Cheffins, Southend
I took along a party of 12 from Waitrose in Southend. We all really enjoyed the tour. Kevin was our guide and he was great. We were all transported back in time to the 1888 and as the evening was dark and chilly with a stiff breeze it all helped to set the scene.
Well done that man!

Steve, Met Police Murder Squad
Chris was our guide and we had a fabulous walk and talk. A great deal of knowledge was displayed, not only about the Ripper but Victorian London as well. I am a Londoner of 45 years standing and did not know half of what we were told. A nice bit of banter with the punters as well. Chris was a great host to us detectives. Most highly recommended, thanyou.

Steven, Essex, England
What a night. Our guide was Simon and he was fantastic. I have wanted to take the tour for many years, and it was well worth the wait. The attention to detail, the constant barrage of facts and information, and the delivery of the story was just amazing. And we also learnt some general history of London as well as the origins of some phrases we still use today. Cheers Simon, for a great night out. I'll definitely be coming back for more.

Julia, London
Brought a group of performing arts students on a private tour. This was my 5th tour with Ripping Yarns and all the tour guides have been fantastic, (unlike some of their ill-informed and unprofessional rivals!) but last night Kevin engaged my students and made it more interactive for them as they will be performing the tale next month - thank you!

Denise Petch, Johannesburg SA
Foiund the tour very informative and entertaining. Once again, history came alive, and I enjoyed every moment

Rita Burrows, Bermuda
I can't believe I haven't done this years ago! Most probably becaue Ihate walking but Dickie managed to make the 2hours walk feel more like 30 mins.The Tour was excellent. Group size was good, not too big and Dickie is a fantastic story teller! He really draws you into the history of the area and continues to make references to the characters, making it all easier to remember. Without spoiling it too much, Dickie has a number of tricks up his sleeve to keep you enagaged along the way and to make the experience real :-) Great for couples (it has that romantic feel) and friends alike. Would definitely recommend!!!

Holly W, Pickering Ontario Canada (Greater Toronto Area)
Our Guide was Dickie. He was entertaining, informative, and the group was a good size. We could hear everything, and Dickie was great. He made everyone feel welcomed to London.
I will bring my husband here on a future trip and will do this tour again. I will ask for Dickie.

The Chadwick's, London
Took the whole family Mum,Dad,Wife,Son,Daughter and myself, out onto the dark,damp windswept streets of Whitechapel on the 9th.

Steve our guide was great.
He made it very interesting and entertaining not only for the adults but also my two teenage kids(the reluctant son who we had to drag off his games consloe)and my daughter who was allways at the front.

It is a must do. Still talking and thinking about it.

Worth every penny.

Kim , Warwick, England
Had a great time last night on the tour with Kevin, 2 hours flew by, not too many people on the tour so we could all hear and enjoy. Thank you.

Denise, Jackie and Natalie, Roehampton
Had a great time on the tour last Friday with our fantastic guide Dickie. Lots of interesting facts and information and just the right mix of history and humour.

Highly recommended - in fact we may have to do it again some time!!

One of those under-employed City of London Police , London
We went on last night's walk with Kev (and his side-kick, The Rat). Having previously worked in Brushfield Street near the scene of a Ripper murder, I have wanted to do one of the Jack the Ripper walks for a long while. Kev did not disappoint! He is a natural story-teller and knows his subject well, while throwing in lots of additional fascinating facts. The two hours flew by. A thoroughly enjoyable tour. Thanks Kev (and The Rat)!

Jack, From Hell
A great Halloween night spent with Dickie walking round the rippers killing ground.
It's hard to picutre the site as they were but out guide did an awesome job and was very very good indeed.

Got to Mitre square and bumped into a group of 75!!!!!!!!
Our group was about 40 but this was Halloween night however.

A great tour and for £7 it's a top bargin entertainment

thanks

Willis, Winchester, VA
My friends and I had a wonderful time on our tour. It was definitely one of our highlights of our recent trip to London. Mark was very entertaining and displayed a great depth of knowledge on the subject of Jack the ripper. Absolutely loved the alternate theory! Bravo and Cheers!

russ, ramsgate kent
Had a great time with our guide steve, his knowledge of the murders and the history of the area was excellent. Nicely organized and not too many people on the tour made the whole experiance enjoyable. Well worth £7 would recommend this tour.
