I'd like to give my huge thanks to Jamie the guide (what a character!) for delivering the walking tour last Sunday - the best I have ever attended! I bow to Jamie for presenting Jack the ripper's story from a different, more vital perspective - by telling the stories of the Five Women who were once living, breathing and surviving until their unfortunate encounter with the ripper. He touched my heart with his intelligent approach and strong yet delicate testament to the Victims. He wasn't promoting the ripper as a national attraction, but rather as someone to pity and keeping him far from the frontline of the story. On another note, Jamie looked after the group through the whole tour, keeping us engaged by feeding us with tons of interesting facts from tragic to humorous, never boring! I was easily taken back in time and appreciated I was shown the crucial areas of East London following the steps of the Five Women's. Jamie also provided numerous historic pictures and information on further resources - all for doing the justice to those Women and preserving the memory of City of London from past times. Finally, on learning about the campain against closing down Jack the ripper tours I shout out YES! Such tours should go on! I strongly believe that the tours with the narrative presented by Jamie cannot do any harm but RE-EDUCATE THE SOCIETIES! Well done Sir Jamie and good luck to you and your like-minded fellow-guides :-)

Do you like scary tales and crime stories? Are you Interested in learning more about the hidden history of Victorian London? Be that as it may, this Free Jack the Ripper Tour in London is an essential experience for all tourists visiting the capital of the British empire. Come and learn how, from 1888 to 1891, the entire world was shocked by the story of a mysterious murderer who killed five women (or was it more?). Newspaper readers in the late 19th century were particularly shocked by the murderer’s bloody methods. That is why, according to many historians, Jack the Ripper ushered in a new era of urban crime, crime journalism and true crime.

Join a local guide and a small group of travelers for an unforgettable adventure. You will walk through the streets of the legendary neighborhood of Whitechapel in search of all the clues about the murders of Jack the Ripper. During the tour, you’ll understand the harsh living conditions of the workers, prostitutes, thieves and homeless people who crammed into London’s East End in Victorian times. As you see the real places where the terrible Ripper roamed in search of victims, you will also understand who the five murdered women were: Mary Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Kelly.

Of course, during the tour, you will hear lots of information on who the maximum suspects of the crimes are: from a young waiter to a doctor in the service of the royal family. Even readers of Alan Moore’s “From Hell” or those who watched “Jack the Ripper” or “Ripper Street” series will also be surprised and learn new things! The tour will end in the vicinity of the infamous Ten Bells Pub, the place where most of the Ripper’s victims were seen before meeting their fateful end. Throughout your Free Jack the Ripper Tour in London, you’ll learn about the UK’s past, meet interesting travelers and have lots of fun! So, why don’t you book your seat now?
