      Nic was incredible, he was funny and full of information. As someone who's watched several documentaries about Jack the Ripper and thought I had fairly good knowledge but the amount of detail Nic could go into was amazing, well worth the money I paid. A great way to spend an evening in London

      It was a very cool tour, where we got to know the murders of Jack the Ripper. Our guide Hannah was friendly and created a nice atmosphere during the tour. As a German I can also recommend doing the english tour. It was quite easy to understand and all in all a great experience!

      I was a tourist in my home town! And so happy that I was. What a great way to see the hidden corners of Whitechapel. There was a large enough group, people from all over the place. I was on my own, as well as another lady and a man from Germany. We were lucky with a lovely sunny evening in May. I have no morbid fascination with murder cases, I simply looked at what tours were on offer and thought this would be interesting- and I wasn't disappointed! It's a fascinating case, and SO much more was brought to this by the tour guide than I had ever seen in documentaries about it. AT FIRST. I thought that the guide should have a London accent, as in the same if I went to Dublin, it would be nice if the guide had a local accent- this girl was from Italy- but she really did herself proud, full of energy and so friendly and helpful. It was as good as it possibly could be and I HEARTILY recommend this to anyone visiting London. You really are left far more enlightened.
