Atmospheric tour with great guide - George did a great job describing what the neighborhood was like in 1888, and in making the murders come to life. Answered everyone’s questions enthusiastically. Recommended, even to those not particularly interested in Jack the Ripper.

Great tour! History and stories in the best way! - We had a blast on this tour! We were fortunate enough to have a small group and was able to talk easily with George! He is so informative and tells each murder with such passion it really got everyone into the tour. George is on another level with his tour- he is so informative and can give you more and more history about London and other countries! We went all over this eastern London neighborhood and found so much history and were sent back to the time of Jack the Ripper. We would highly recommend this tour! This was absolutely worth the price and easy to get to in the city.

Great tour! - George was an amazing storyteller and very animated! He talked about the multiple suspects that may or may not have been Jack. Very interesting! We met George right outside the Tube station on time for our tour. Good value tour!

George -THE best Jack the Ripper tour host ever - Thank you George. What a wonderful guide. Informative, energetic enthusiastic, multi lingualish (key words in French and German) including Freemasons in both languages plus in 'teenager'. A truly memorable couple of hours. Thank you from Scott Alex and Phoebe - Farnborough, Hampshire

The Best Jack the Ripper Tour Guide, Hands Down - If you're scrolling through the various tours about Jack the Ripper - wondering which one to book - then stop right now as you've found the best of the best. George is THE MAN when it comes to Jack the Ripper: extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and just downright friendly with a real sense of humor. He has a pleasant voice that projects well so everyone in your group can hear him. He brought an extra measure to the tour with his insight into how it was to live in Whitechapel back when Jack the Ripper roamed the very streets where the tour takes place. It is uncanny how he knows the five victims and how each perished. The many Jack the Ripper tours that are offered can't help but overlap in Whitechapel. You can tell how popular George is by the size of his groups - easily the largest of the three competing tours we came across. So just go ahead and book George - you won't regret it!

Sceptic that enjoyed the experience - I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed the experience. Our guide was George who was an amazing storyteller. I was fully immersed in the story telling, especially the way we moved around the town as the story unfolded. He also had an amazing ability to project his voice making it easy to hear no matter where you stood or what was happening on a busy night around you. 10/10 would recommend
