Jack The Ripper Walking Tour & Ripper Museum

Lovely little museum with lots of interesting information. The walking tour was excellent with the guide having so much knowledge. A great experience!

Alan was an excellent guide. He has a great personality, very informative, and was mindful of the children in our group. He worked very hard. Very professional, and fun. Don’t forget to tip your guide.

Andre was extremely knowledgeable and the projector was the cherry on top. He kept the momentum going and we had a great time. Other reviews commented on the museum - here is my take. The time gap is annoying… but fits as the tour wouldn’t be as good in the light hours of the day. While it’s short there are plenty of food spots and pubs to keep you entertained. The museum itself was okay. Self guided tour - small. Not much to see but I would say worth it as a prep ESPECIALLY if you’re a JTR novice.

DO NOT BOOK WITH TOP SIGHT TOURS. I booked for a 10am tour only to find out that the time and location that I booked for was entirely different. I want a refund for a tour I did not receive!

Went off to a bit off a bad start but once we talked to a man at their office and found our group it was amazing. Big shoutout to Rob, he was an amazing tour guide and great storyteller and overall a fun and entertaining experience.

The museum was an okay way to get you ready for the tour. The wait between the museum and tour was too long (an hour and a half). The museum nor the tour guide recognized my ticket. The tour was great led by Alan.

The actual tour was fine. The instructions said to go to the Ripper museum first but that was closed. Very unhappy with Viator!!!! No more Viator bookings for me!!!!

Enjoyed the museum but learned even more and enjoyed the tour by Magda understanding more about the women and possible suspects and the theories in the places they happened. Highly recommend.

Tour guide Alan was very good and entertaining. Got to see the locations and learnt new information and the projector was a nice touch.

Sam was a fabulous guide. He was knowledgeable, not only about the Ripper case, but also London’s history and life in the Victorian age. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the Ripper case…be prepared to be wowed and to have your mind blown! 🤯🤩

Loved this tour, our guide Sam was very knowledgeable, and the kind of person I could sit and chat too for hours, I share a lot of his ideas and beliefs, the tour was great, and well worth the money, unfortunately my companions and I got held up and were unable to make it to the museum, which is so disappointing, but even more so after the tour, I now feel the need to go and research what was going on in London around this time, 100% recommend!

Bought the museum and walk package through the website- the best deal! We went the day before Christmas Eve, so museum was nice and quiet: an interesting and evocative place and the staff very helpful. We had the tour too- we were the only people ( my 16 year old daughter and myself) today, but Sam was punctual and a great guide. He was marvellous. I was on the lookout for a fellow wearing a top hat and carrying a doctor’s bag- he wasn’t, but it would have looked good + suited him- he could have carried it off very stylishly! His info was above and beyond what I expected- covered films, social history, the dastardly deeds themself and more. He was very mindful of anyone being squeamish( though why they would be so on such an event having been to the museum is beyond me) . Yes, we enjoyed it immensely, I can recommend him thoroughly both as a tour guide and an all round good chap! Three cheers for Sam.

Museum was great and very friendly lady at reception 10/10

Walking Tour
Hmm Bad start. We all arrived in good time but Sam, the tour guide, said we should wait for some late arrivals (who never showed). He said he would go and ring the office. But instead walked then ran off and appeared some minutes later with a Pret take away coffee even though we were all standing next to a coffee stand.
He was knowledgeable about his subject but wrong about a few things (after 7 years you’d think he’d check ALL the facts.
The real problem was his hatred of royalty, the Tory party and wealthy people. which he found a way of mentioning countless times. Also he kept banging on about slavery. And several times mentioned his tour on slavery.
He was disparaging about The Jack the Ripper Museum, mentioning how much better his private tours are. This was rude as he advertises his tour on their site.
He said he wouldn’t mention all the horrific wounds because there were children present and later said in front of the children that the victim’s vagina had been cut out!
The tour was 2 hours. If he had stuck to Jack the Ripper information it would have lasted 1 1/2 hrs.
It’s wrong to make your customers ‘Sitting ducks’, having to listen to his opinions on politics. He should go to speakers corner and stand on a soap box for that.

Someone should warn Rishi not to go on the tour!

Ivan was our tour guide and would highly recommend. His knowledge of the case was incredible.
Very good at keeping you intrigued and interested.

Would definitely recommend this tour and I would advise doing it at night to add to the experience.

I would like to also add that Ivan was brilliant in remembering the victims in this case and his back ground knowledge on each victim was incredible.

Would definitely recommend this tour & if you can book with Ivan.

I’d advise in the winter months wrap up warm.
And wear comfortable shoes as theirs a lot of walking.

Definitely book this tour you’ll not be disappointed.

The tour guide was exceptional. His knowledge
Was insightful. Spooky and humorous . Great walk very historical
5 star tour

Fantastic walking tour with Sam who was really knowledgeable about the Ripper murders and the history of both Whitechapel and the City of London. It was a good couple of hours and worth the every penny to hear all the gory details. Highly recommend.

My family and I visited the Jack the Ripper Museum and attended their 3 pm tour. The museum was thoughtfully presented, and our tour guide, Sam, shared a lot of interesting and helpful historical context in which to place the on-going mystery of these murders. I really appreciated getting a better sense of the victims and their lives. Visiting the East End of the city also gave us a broader perspective on London as foreign tourists. I would highly recommend this tour.
