Our tour guide George was really great. He explained everything precisely and in detail and also answered individual questions. In the 2 hours we were completely immersed in the dark past of London and were able to explore all the places like in 1888. Thank you for this tour! Highly Recommended!

We were fortunate enough that we were the only two people on the tour so were able to monopolise our guide George for the whole two hours. Despite this he still showed great enthusiasm and knowledge and clearly enjoys what he does. He doesn’t just rattle off the story but get you involved by asking you questions trying to make you think and reconsider if you have any pre-conceived ideas about Jack and his victims. Highly recommended.
