Silent Voices of White Chapel The tour was small and well organized. This is not a flashy tour with tons of people. It’s small and educational with a different spin of a the Jack the Ripper victims. If you want a tour with speculation and graphic descriptions of the murders, this would not be the tour for you. Otherwise, great experience!

Jack the Ripper: What about the women? Traveling with a friend and our three girls (12, 14, and 14) we selected this tour to learn more about the famous unsolved murders from a different perspective. Our guide was lovely. Although the site cautioned us about the content of the tour, she still double-checked with us on content before starting given the ages of our girls. I suspect she worked to adjust her word choices at several points for the girls. (Our group was the only group on the tour.)It was very educational to take this tour as we learned about the history of the Whitechapel area, living conditions at the time, and a lot about the victims that are generally agreed to be victims of the same killer. Our guide was well researched, a good story teller, and great with our questions. She made it an interesting and interactive tour.

Excellent! Can’t wait to try other tours The Working Women of the East End tour was packed with interest. Jess is friendly, very engaging, and really knows her stuff! The points of interest along the route were thoughtfully chosen and well spaced. The information was fascinating and rich and brought the women, their lives, and the East End to life. The delivery was perfect - fresh, authentic, factual and informative, without being too heavy. Jess is a fantastic tour guide, despite cold weather 2.5 hours flew by! A timely tea break in a historic building was a lovely surprise. Came away feeling excited to book another tour with Jess!

experience the Love and London experience tours We went on the "Jack the Ripper - What About the Women? tour and we met with tour guide Ellie who gave us an insightful and informative essay on the canonical five who were the victims of Jack the Ripper. That particular night was quite cold but those two hours were fascinating and as she brought us back in time, our time went so fast the cold was tolerable. I highly recommend using the Love and London experiences tours, you will be in much capable hands!
