Paid a premium for a “private” tour that was not private. Two extra guests were added without notice or consent, completely defeating the point of booking a private experience. The excuse that they “arrived unexpectedly” shows poor organisation and zero accountability. Communication was defensive and dismissive, including attempts to blame us for technical issues that were acknowledged on the day. Very unprofessional. Would strongly advise others to avoid.

The tour was unique and very informative, both history wise, but also illustratively. Russel was very kind and engaging, and also showed us many interesting spots during the tour outside the planned destinations. Definitely recommended!

Russell was a very welcoming and extremely knowledgable host! The tour was fascinating and transported us back in time to the era of this infamous tale. Among all the options out there, I would highly recommend choosing Russell not only for his ability to make your experience memorable but also his historical significance to the revelation leading to the identity of Jack The Ripper. Thanks!

We are a family of three with a teenage daughter and we loved this tour! Not your typical experience — thoughtful, intelligent, and run by someone who really knows their stuff.
