Discover the Mysteries of Jack the Ripper
♡ Save
This free tour will transport you back to Victorian London. We will explore the most dangerous alleyways that, in the 19th century, were the crime scenes of gruesome murders committed by this still unidentified serial killer.
The walking tour begins in the Tower Hill area and continues in Whitechapel, which was sadly known as the ‘Doors to Hell’ during that era. The darkness of a late evening enhances the experience, allowing you to immerse yourself in the gloomy atmosphere. Combined with the excellent acting skills of our guides, you will feel totally engaged and absorbed.
Who was he? Some believe he was a doctor, others a butcher. What do you think? Be a detective for a day and use our clues to build your own theory!
