Our guide, Alan, was very knowledgeable, humorous, and entertaining. He provided a lot of information about Jack the Ripper and his victims, and he did so while making everyone laugh. Unfortunately our open top double decker bus broke down before the trip even started, but Alan was able to secure us a coach bus to use for the trip. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and are glad we did this excursion.

The absolute BEST thing about this tour was the delightful vintage bus. We sat downstairs & I chose the front seat. With the clatter of the old bus and the “vintage” ride, bumpy & fast, I could imagine being on the Night Bus from Harry Potter. It was delightful.
Our guide was a pleasant man & very knowledgeable about Jack the Ripper. He is so in to that story & event that at one point we stood (in the cold) for at least 30 minutes. We were in the spot where one of the victims was found.
Interesting but I was expecting this to be balanced between the two subjects.
The guide did give us a few facts about the author Sir Doyle as our bus arrived at our final stop. (This was 30 minutes later than advertised.)
We arrived at a Sherlock Holmes themed pub. It was late & we were cold so we didn’t go in but hustled back to our hotel.

We did the tour and to be honest the guide was knowledgeable but as previous reviews have said you need to use your imagination quite a bit (not a problem and as expected). With regards to the old bus, we loved it, very nostalgic.
The downside sorry, It is a walking tour and it does involve a fair bit of walking so be aware if you struggle with mobility at all. The guide does not hang around and on our tour there was a couple of Americans that were obviously having trouble keeping up. The guide however didn't seem to notice or make allowance for them.

We reserved this tour and it was the worst jack the ripper tour I have taken- have taken 2 others. Guide read from a binder, walked so fast he left half the tour behind while he was still talking and did not cover anything having to do with Sherlock Holmes. he kept referring to the social situation in london at the time of the murders and kept repeating it. I considered leaving the tour it was so bad. My two teenage granddaughters hated it. What a total waste of money. We took this tour on June 30th.

No idea why they have you meet at the bus station. It’s a walking tour. They drive you on a very old bus that probably shouldn’t be on the road. Once we got to the walking part of the tour, the tour guide took upon himself to go into great detail on why most of what you’ve heard about Jack the Ripper is wrong, and that he has a FB Page that we should follow to get the real story. He was very long winded, and chose to talk just as much or more about English history than he did about Jack the Ripper. We chose to duck out of the walking tour after about 45 minutes. We walked by another Jack the Ripper tour and that guide seemed to be doing a much better job. I would not roll the dice on this tour.

The tour was amazing. Jermaine and Derek were excellent, they were very helpful and kind answered any queries we had. On one occasion Jermaine helped a lady to get on the bus his lovely manner puts you at ease. Derek is also a lovely guide who was very informative about Jack the Ripper. I would do this tour again and hope we have Jermaine and Derek again…. Wonderful driver and tour guide!!

I don’t recommend taking this tour. The tour guide was crabby with a dry personality. He kept yelling at the passing emergency vehicles to shut up. The tour took us through locations that have changed so much that it was impossible to visualize the past. The tour guide was knowledgeable but this turned into information overload of facts and theories.

It was a really great tip! The tour guide nick was amazing. His knowledge of London, Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes and many other interesting facts within London made the trip more thrilling. I would rate this tour with anyone who would like to kill 2 birds with one stone and have a tour around London and also hear about gruesome tales and interesting facts

This tour was literally informative. It was not scary at all. If you're looking for scary do not take this tour. Further, we were picked up at the bus station and dropped off at Trafalgar Square. We were not told that the drop-off point would be at a different location as the pick up point. We were made to hail our own taxi late at night at a place where we were unfamiliar. If you're looking for scary do not take this tour. If you're looking for pure knowledge this tour will be perfect for you. Beware that you will be dropped off at an unfamiliar location.

Guide was knowledgeable but we booked the combo tour and it was not worth the price. Said one thing about sherlockhomes . The guide was not warm and friendly. The entire experience was ruined for us by the attitude and shear out and our lie about what we would see and do, if you want to know more about Sherlock google the bar and go to Baker Street tube far cheaper and better to go in your own. I’m sure there are better ripper tours but this one was TERRIBLE! I want my money back
