philip cruse, DAGENHAM ESSEX
Our Tour guide was i believe Richard with the little beard.
He gave a Captivating guide through whitechapel and you
couldnt get bored with his delivery of the facts.

would definately do it again and probably will for halloween.
Cheers

the gang, essex
came today with my school and it was great ,thanks very much we know more now than we did, we really enjoyed it.;

DIANE & JANINE, WOODFORDGREEN
Thanks steve your story telling was so captivating, we felt that we had been transported back to those dismal times when the ripper prowled the cobbled streets, hunting out his next victim!

Georgie, Southampton
This was the second time I had joined the Ripping Yarns tour & it was just as good as the first time. I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a little exercise coupled with a thrilling history lesson.

I dare you to deny that it gives you goosebumps!

Thank you Dickie for a wonderful evening.

Sina, Germany
To our guide Dickie:
Four German girls say "Vielen Dank" for the great tour. We enjoyed it a lot and had a nice evening! :-)

Annika, Uppsala, Sweden
We took the tour on Sat 26th July and Dicky was our guide.
The tour was great and it's well worth the money. (I actually payed more than the 7 pounds since I was so impressed with Dicky)

Nate , New Zealand
I have to admit to being a bit skeptical at first, but soon found myself completely enthralled. Ken did an excellent job, was both informative and entertaining. Seven pounds for an evenings good entertainment and education, with a good after dinner walk thrown in is possibly the best value thing I have done in London. Being a full moon helped the atmosphere too :-) Keep up the excellent work!

Tina & Royal Surrey County Hospital Theatres group, Guildford
Thank you for a fantastic night of entertainment & information we were all captivated by the ripper tour given by Dicky. Especially creepy wandering around White Chapel at night... it was like stepping back in time in places!
We will all be booking again!

Jan,Jane,Pod,Ed, York England
we went on the Ripper tour on 5th September on a very wet night! Despite this, the tour guide kept us thoroughly entertained. He had a really in depth knowledge not just of the Ripper but also the history of London. Steve was our guide and he really is a terrific person and so well informed we forgot we were soaking!

Fred and Alex, France
Thank you Kev for this fantastic tour!!!! We know now who is jack the ripper!!!or maybe not....!
Very informative even if Kev speaks a little bit too fast for us!!!!Good exercise to improve our english anyway!!! ;-)
Thank you again!!!!!

Lucy, Jacqui & Dawn, Essex
Dickie's tour was very informative and enjoyable. Throughly entertaining. We would reccomend this tour to everybody !! thank you.

Steve and Diana, Michigan USA
Beefeater by day, tour guide by night, our guide was excellent. Very entertaining and full of facts. This tour was the highlight of our stay in London

T & J Joshua, North London
We went on the tour to help our 14 year old son with his history project. We were very surprised how much we enjoyed it, Mark was excellent! My son felt very able to complete his homework. Thanks Mark for a great evening.

Dave & Shereen, Liverpool, Merseyside
We absolutley loved the tour and presentation from dickie, We couldn't stop talking about the whole tour days and weeks after walking around all the historic jack the ripper sights in the olde east end, we have recommended it to everyone we know, If your coming to London you have to make sure you do the ripper tour, As a trip to London wouldn't be the same without it, Dickie was excellent with his insight and knowledge and also entertaining, Thanks Dickie!

Matt, Swansea, MA
I was in London last week and decided to check out this tour. It was great! Dickie was our guide and he did a fantastic job of bringing the Whitechapel murders to life. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants to learn some history on Jack or London itself and hear some stories that will stay with you for an awfully long time.

Chris & Nic, Canvey Island, Essex
Many Thanks to Dickie for a very entertaining, detailed and insighful visit to Victorian London! Even after a long day's shopping in the West End, Dickie's rendition of events kept us gripped and our achy legs were soon forgotten! We will definately be recomending this tour to all our family and friends!

Alexi P., London
Thanks heaps for a nice evening ! Our guides' skillfully told anecdotes surrounding the series of murders committed by Jack the Ripper around Whitechapel, along with visits of the sites and period illustrations of the murder scenes and living conditions paint a wonderfully gruesome picture of the mysterious series of crimes and the circumstances under which they were committed. It struck me to which extent the social divide and the notoriously bad life of the lowest social ranks that set the scene for the murders, also seem to be characterising London to this day. Or was this perhaps the intended morale?

L. Löschenkohl, CPH, Denmark
The 7th of august me and my mate went for the ripper tour. As the other comments state. This was a fantastic tour. All in all, we just want to thank our guide Simon for fantastic experience. Don't know what to say - Simon you are the best, thanks alot!

Best regards from Denmark. Btw, i passed your card to some fellows going to London next month..

sharon lopez, london
thanks kev for an informative evevning, with the cobbles under foot and the great tales you told what more could we of asked for? well maybe we could of done without the corny jokes but than again maybe not. excellent guide.

Anthony Hamlet & Kristy Hindle, Ashton Under Lyne, M/C England
Excellent tour. We attended the tour on July 16th and our guide Dickie made the the whole experiance thoroughly enjoyable. He added an element of excitment with his commentry and the information he provided helped you get a good feel for what life was like in the times of thr ripper.

Debbie and Natalie Froggatt, Sheffield
Thanks to Kev for our tour on the 8th August. Despite the corny jokes it was a very informative and interesting tour. We
would not have tried the walk on our own and being in some of the older locations made the story come to life.

Robert & Cathy, NW England
We were taken on the tour by Simon, who made the tale of Jack The Ripper come alive! Very informative and entertaining, would recommend this tour to anyone. He clearly knows his subject well.

valentina, turin, italy
the tour was fantastic and kevin is very funny and kind,so...enjoy it!!

Steven & Leanne, North East Of England
Had tour from Simon on the evening of the 7th of August and cannot fault any part of the tour. Excellent value for money, very informative not only about Jack the Ripper but also about the East End, just the right amount of people and the presentation was of an extremely high standard.

Thanks for an exceptionally enjoyable evening.

Turner Family, England
Our guide was Steve, an animated and theatrical man who greeted us well before he took us on a journey from West to East (the East end of London to be exact). Together we retraced the murder path of the infamous JACK!!! The evening culminating in discovering the true identity of this sick and vicious murderer. Thanks for a great evening.

Stevens family, Earley & Tooting UK
Our thanks to Kev for a very interesting and enjoyable' Jack the Ripper' tour 8 August. You just have to take in this tour if visiting London. You'll be intrigued by Kevs narration regarding the gruesome murders of 1888,in the area it all happened.

Darren Innes, Woongarrah, NSW, Australia
Excellent Tour. No bookings, no hassles, very reasonable price. We found Kevin to be a lively guide that made the experience an enjoyable one, whilst also throwing in some bad jokes.
Would have no hesitation in recommending this to friends for their future travels.

Emma, London
Absolutely loved it. Simon was our guide and he was fantastic - informative, funny and intriguing.
I will definitely be recommending this tour to friends. Thanks Simon!

Dana, Alberta, Canada
When I told my cousin I was coming to England for a visit and that I would like to spend a few days of my visit in London I told her that I didn't care if I saw nothing else in London as long as I got to do a Jack the Ripper tour. I left it in her hands to look in to tours and book the one she thought was best. She did not disappoint.

We went on the tour tonight with Simon as our guide. As soon as he started talking to us, I knew I'd met him earlier in the day. He was also my guide at the Tower of London. He did not disappoint with either one. He left us laughing many a time tonight and made us jump a few times too.

I would definitely recommend the Ripping Yarn Tours to anyone who wants to learn more about Jack the Ripper.

Thanks Simon for making my last night in London a very memorable one, and teaching me more about Jack the Ripper!

Kristy, London, England
Just arrived home from an evening with Simon, and I couldn't have imagined a better way to spend a Thursday night! The tour was entertaining and very informative, and I have never been so pleased to be compared to a fence! The added bonus of a colourful local just made the whole evening more enjoyable.

Thank you very much Simon, for making my cousin's final evening in London the most memorable of the whole trip!

Robin & Naomi, Kent
Chris was our guide. I'd been told by a friend at work not to miss this tour as it was really good. We were not disappointed. Chris built up the suspense wonderfully. Every street corner had its piece of history. We had two young children with us and he let us know when we needed to cover their delicate ears. 2 hours not to miss while in London. Great tour.

susan croft and family, midlands
went on a tour with ken, just turned up did not know what to expect but what a fantastic surprise. Ken was funny and full of knowledge. All the family enjoyed it including our teenagers (you now how hard they are to please). Take this tour you will not regret it. Big thanks ken.

Paul + Mel, Tilbury, Essex
We went Sat 26th July and had Dicky,
We started at 6:50 and it went on till 9:20

If you ever want a very funny, very informed guide please make sure you ask for a day when hes giving the tour, you wont be disapointed!

Like somebody a few comments below me said, we passed loads of other groups, some had headsets and speakers and some were in huge groups, some seemed to be running around like headless chickens, but none seemed to have the charm and charisma of Dicky!

He seemed wise and very chatty. one minute he would get creepy and we would all be spooked, the next we were laughing :)! we would walk for a few mins then he would stop and give a little talk, always waiting for people to catch up and it never felt rushed at all, he often asked if we had any questions and asked us what our views / opions were. he was full of intresting facts about london in general as we were going round its a full tour of the east end not just the ripper murders!

I would really recomend the dicky tour to anybody, when we got home everybody we told about the tour wanted to go!

My partner Mel also agreed that for £7 you really cannot find a better night out in london, ive been to 3 'top' shows and this tour kocked spots off them easily.

In short - Top night out !

Charlie, Texas, USA
I went on the tour on the 25 of July. It was a great tour. Our tour guide Dickie was Excellent. He was funny and he really made you think about who done it. The tour group wasn't to big so your able to hear everything. And at the end of the tour he drops you off right at the tube station. I recommend this tour to everybody.

robin hill and family, northern ireland
dickie was a great source of information about jack good local knowledge delivered in a who done it fashion, with bags of humour. we all enjoyed our trip to london but we all agree that this was the highlight and most memorable thanks

Mick Wilcox, Retford Notts
Thank you Simon Dodds for a thoroughly entertaining and informative evening. Our group was still discussing who the culprit was after the walk. Although the weather was poor Simon conducted the tour with humour, intrigue and style. Really pleased we came with your company, thoroughly professional. Special thanks Simon, a great end to the day.

George, Los Angeles
Did the tour (Jul22 ) with Chris. Only 15 or so on the tour which made it very personal. Chris still has his parade ground voice and bearing so no problem hearing or understanding. He was witty and informative. We passed other tours with hordes of people and weak voiced guides. This was my second time on the tour. Believe me, this is the tour to take! For seven quid (and only if you are satisfied) you get to hear a great and terrifying story from a genuine beefeater!

Rob and Jema, Leicester
Fantastic tour, Ken gave us a very good insite into the "world of Jack the Ripper". If your visiting London I highly recomend anyone to go on this tour

Jackie Young, Essex
What a fantastic evening! From the off Ken had me hooked! He really knew his stuff and was a fantastic tour guide! No money required up front but there is no question about wether you would pay or not it was well worth the money!
I'll be back in the winter months to really add to the eariness. Many thanks Ken you were excellent!

Lauren, Boston, USA
Dicky was amazing. My friends and I enjoyed the tour so much, and have been suggesting it to all our friends in our summer program. It was totally worth it for us to go to (we came all the way from Oxford for the evening just to go!). Great information, very amusing, and even though a lot of walking we didn't mind at all!

steve and christine butcher, oldham
Fantastic tour on 16th of July. we've been on tours like this before but this was way ahead of the rest, I learnt more about whitechapel and the area and about the murders on this tour than any other.
Dickie was the guy that took us around that evening and he was great, he chatted to almost everyone and told us little known facts and sayings. great night and well worth £7 each well done.

Jayme lee Pablos, Watford, Herts
i had a wikid time on my 20th birthday last saturday doing the tour!!! Not what i expected at all! The group wasnt too big, but the jokes were awful! haha! But i got lots of information and all my friends really enjoyed themselves, and id recommend it to anyone, although you really should go in the winter where it'll be darker whilst your on the tour to add to the effect! Thanks a lot steve-o! xxx

David, London
I've lived in and around London almost all of my life but Ken showed us a whole new side of it that I'd never seen. It was a great way to spend a couple of hours with a fascinatingly macabre theme and a great storyteller.

lulu, glasgow
excellant tour cannot praise dicky enough.

Lindsay & Richard, Ipswich (now London)
After living in Whitechapel for sometime and being aware of the Jack Ripper connection with the area, we finally got around to taking the tour - it was well worth the wait!
Our tour guide Dickie was awaiting our arrival and we set off bang on time. Dickies charisma and knowledge immediately drew us in and took us back in time to 1888. Suddenly the streets we had walked down on a dialy basis took on a whole new light and will never be the same again!
A great evening that doesnt cost the earth. A good way to get out and about in London. Fantastic delivery from Dickie; brought this old tale back to life. Thanks.

Kerri, Melbourne, Australia
I have been living in London for a year and have always wanted to do the tour. I wish I didn't wait so long. It was brilliant.

I am tempted to go and do it again!

Dicky was our tour guide he's brilliant. He really knows his stuff. His knowledge (of the ripper and London), combined with presentation style and humour really made the tour.

I didn't know anything about Jack the Ripper before, but there were people on the tour who knew lots and I think we were all catered for.

A definite must!

Request Dicky

Fabio, Tyrol, Austria
Hey Everybody!
We were very impressed from the tour with DICKY! HE made the tour realistic and vith humor. It was a nice evening throw the streets of london and we learnd new things about Jack the ripper and the secrtes around him.

Thanks to Dicky!
I really recommend the tour with the team from FROM HELL!

Greeds out of Tyrol, Austria, Fabio

Lisa and Kev, Hampshire, UK
We stumbled across this tour by accident, but so glad we did!
After a great day at the Tower, we were just entering the tube station to return home when we noticed Dickie gathering a crowd.
I've always been interested in Jack the Ripper, but Dickie really brought the story to life. He was full of information and really seemed to know the details and locations.
I would definately recommend this tour, was a great end to a great day!

Michelle, Sussex, England
We went with Mark on the 26th June, it was truely amazing and full of information. Really opens you up to more when you're seeing and hearing from professionals who have looked into this

Tracey, David, Sarah, Christian and Kristal, Telford, Shropshire
This tour was fantastic and would definitely recommend. Steve was our guide and "he rocks". Very informative with lots of photos. He also tried hard with the jokes!!! 5 stars.

Eliet, Australia
Ken was awesome. We had a really great time walking the streets and getting a real feel for the horrors experienced back in the 1800's. We had a real laugh with Ken who was a genious! He made the tour so much more enjoyable than we could have imagined. Thanks, the girl in the blue scarf from Wednesday night..

Bill and shona, Texas
This tour was the best ken showed us around white chapel, we read about the ripper murders and wanted to see the area, we were not disappointed Ken was so good with the explanation very knowledgable. top tour so far.

Rhona and Craig, Glasgow
The tour was very informative, funny, and enjoyable.
The guide (Dickie) really brought history and the locations we visited to life! Would recommend anyone visiting London, was far more professional than many other tours we've been on. :)

Marie and Alan, Basildon, Essex, UK
We went on a tour with Steve, we loved it. He was very funny (and we did laugh at some of his jokes) and he was very knowledgeable. The two hours just flew by and we would recommend this tour to everyone.

Ian Muir, Kent
Steve was our guide and was extremely knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour.

The tour was great and we were very surprised how many of the little cobble streets and original buildings are still there today within the shadow of the city. We had a great time and plan another tour later on in the year. I been on many tours and this was one of the best tours to date.

Thanks. Christine and Ian

Laura, Sussex, England
Went on the tour with Mark, absolutely excellent. First class guide - really personable, interesting and friendly. The tour really brings the facts to life. We found it thrilling and a bit scary. Totally recommended!

Dillon,Bev and Group, USA
We went on this tour the other night with Ken, it was great. Not only was it interesting but it was fun. Ken gave all the greusome details of the Murders and passed on local knowledge as well. Ken was very proffessional, He made sure that all of the group was involved this is not to be missed if in London. We reccomend it 100%. Good look Ken Next time we will come to the Tower of London.

Philip Johnston, Virginia, USA
Kevin was superb--funny, educated, personable, couldn't ask for better. I have already recommended the tour to a baker's dozen of my friends and family. I traveled through five countries in three weeks, and this tour made it onto my list of top five things to do in Europe. Definitely will return.

Thanks Kevin!

anthea , london
we had a great time, kev is a great guide.this was my second time on the tour, i would definately do it again. cheers kev.

Zoe & George, Essex
A really interesting tour we throughly enjoed the whole 2 hours and our guide Kevwas funny and informative.

I feel now we know who Jack the ripper was I would highly recommend to all my friends!!! Excellent

Jennifer Cardona --EF TOURS FLORIDA GROUP!, Orlando, FL
Where to I begin...

It was part of our personal itinerary that we MUST go on this tour when we got to London. To our pleasant surprise we had Dickie as our tour guide for this WONDERFUL AND SCARY trip down history's past.

He took the groups on this specific tour around White Chapel, all of EF TOUR's from Florida [my group!], Alabama, and Idaho but made the experience just as intimate as if dealing with a small group.

He was SO amazing, entertaining, knowledgeable, and made our experience everything we had been hoping for. This was an American group that wanted to go to this infamous tour and was not disappointed! So professional and focused on retelling these stories, and so much fun! I can't say enough about Dickie!

We ended up running into him also at the Tower Of London, and he was so kind and welcoming. He never forgot our faces! I hope he will read this, because really, he made The Jack the Ripper tour the HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP!

If you want to be scared and educated on the terrifying history of Jack the Ripper and if you're in London, go to this tour and REQUEST DICKIE!! HE'S AWESOME!

Jessica and Victoria, kent
done this tour on saturday. found it by acident. but it was excellent. Ken warned us about the heckklers that we might bump into and was right. but he was very proffessional and got on with it, in fact it added to the drama. do this tour. best value we have had for our money.

Jeannie and Jennifer, Eugene, Oregon
what a great time! It was pouring down rain, but the tour still went on and we had a blast. Thank you so much for a great evening.

Eric Carlson, Chicago
I am from Chicago but living in London for awhile, and had some friends over. Despite having just done the tour 2 months ago when my parents were over, took 4 friends who were in town. Kevin did not disappoint. All 5 of us had a great time and learned a lot. Kevin should not have to buy the beer at the end of year Beefeater party!!

douglas william scully, dundee scotland
our guide kevin was excellent as was tour would reccomend to anyone

B, London
Kev or was it steve?! lol. Was brilliant! Deffinitely go again and would recommend this tour to everyone!

Jackie, Ipswich
Kev is a legend. Certainly knew his stuff, and, coupled with his entertainment, was a perfect guide!

Chuck Hubbard, Denver, USA
I'm really glad my daughter talked my wife and me into taking the tour. Kev provided an outstanding tour with great entertainment and numerous facts thrown in for fun. This definitely was the highlight of our brief visit to the UK.

charlie and lorraine, west country
We went on this tour with Ken, Fantastic what a story he tells with passion. all in the group thought it the best thing that they have done. Do not go on any other tour. Ripping Yarns is tops.

Jessica, London, UK
I was on the Saturday tour with Dickie and it was excellent. My feet killed by the end of it! But it was really interesting, building on a topic I was already interested in and had a little knowledge about. I certainly feel more connected to the real people now! Thanks.

Christie Vanderloh, Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada
I went on the April 13th tour with Steve. I found it to be very interesting, informative and entertaining as well. Steve did a wonderful job of painting a vivid picture of life in 1880's London and the sort of lives the women who were Jack's victims lived. I will be recommending this tour to anyone who goes to London.

Anne & Brianne, Bolton
Did the tour on Sunday 21 April with Chris. Was worried about picking the wrong tour as I booked on the internet and had no recommendations. Didn't need to! Tour, and Chris, was great. Very informative, and fun, and burnt off lots of calories! Saw other, very large, bored looking groups traipsing round and soooooooo glad I picked this one. Will certainly recommend to anyone visiting London. Thanks Chris for transporting us back in time to 1888, see I did learn something 'in the nick of time', and bringing us safely back to Tower Hill and 2008.

Janice, Manchester
We did the tour with Dickie on Saturday night and it was brilliant, the highlight of the weekend. Thanks very much.

THE REED FAMILY, Essex, England
We did the walk last evening (5/4/08) with Kev and he was brilliant. Very informative with the odd corny joke thrown in, he certainly knows his stuff. Remember to cover your face if you see a rat!!

Rob, London
Steve was brilliant. Very funny guy (we'll ignore the odd bomb here and there).
Great tour. Well-described and informative.
Don't worry about the unresponsiveness of the group.
That's no reflection on the great job you did mate.
Will keep an eye out for you in the Tower.

AdamD , Oakland, CA
The tour I took, led by Dickie, was the highlight of my trip to London. I was a little apprehensive about going on a walking tour, but the fact that you pay up after the tour set me at ease. Totally blew me away. The length of the tour (two hours), the neighborhoods I wouldn't have thought to explore, and his telling of the story all made for a top notch experience. I went on a Haunted London walk from another group a few days later and it didn't measure up at all.
This is by far the best.

Erin, New York, USA
Kev is an awesome tour guide and I guess his jokes are okay too =)

Ashley, Australia
Your tour was absolutely awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better tour guide Dickie, keep up the good work. Would definately recommed to friends...

Hannah, Maidstone, Kent
Dicki's tour was absolutely fantastic. Extremely fascinating and Dicki's knowledge of the subject was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitley reccommend it!

Louise & Sam (chris's sound affect girls), London
Our guide was Chris who was very imformative and dramatic very interesting evening and have recommended it to other people.

Warning where comfortable walking shoes and in winter wrap up warm.

very enjoyable night.

Scot, London, UK
Kevin's tour is epic.

Marshall Family, Isle of Man
Q. What do you do on a cold easter friday evening.
A. Go on a Jack the Ripper Tour.
Yes it was cold and dark, all the better for visiting the east end of london. We can assure you that this tour is well worth it, our guide Ken was excellent. He gave us the full low down on Jack and put in some extras. we will be back to go again and visit the Tower of London at the same time. A+++

Ali, Whitechapel
3 years living in Whitechapel, drinking on occasion at the Ten Bells, dodging the odd rat and having several overseas friends telling me I should do this tour...What a brilliant evening! (although cold)
Kev was a fountain of interesting knowledge and the jokes - not too bad!
I will definitely be recommending THIS tour to others -especially in the summer.
Thanks

Rachel & John Fenwick, Shropshire/Durham
Mark was outstanding as a guide. Of all the comments he states at the start of his tour, "fun" is definitely the word of the evening. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer, and his enthusiasm for the subject was infectious. We were so impressed, we diverted from our itinery the next day to see him in his usual garb as Yeoman Warder. Highly recommended. Can't imagine any other tour would be as thorough or as entertaining.

Rachel, Amanda and Kris, South Dakota
We went on the tour with Kev and he was AWESOME!!! We also happened to run into him at the Tower of London a few days later! We had a great time, he was very fun and knowledgable. We recommended this tour to everyone we met!! thank you again for making our trip to London so wonderful!

PS...all you other tours guides should have to buy the booze because Kev ROCKED!

mum and daughter, yorkshire, england
a great way to spend a Saturday night despite the cold!! Kev was brilliant with a wealth of information.We desided at the last minute to go on the tour and we were not disapointed. Next time I am in London I shall take my Husband on the tour, hopfully with Kev again.

Family Dupree, London
We've lived in East London all our lives and saw parts we never knew about. Excellent entertainment Ken was brilliant.

Justin Lansdell & Sonia Webb, Norwich, Norfolk, UK
Went on the tour with Kev on Sat 9th March, fan-bloody-tastic evening and Kev's knowledge and humour brought the whole evening to life despite the cold weather. Sonia had nightmares - enough said!
Thoroughly recommended for all.

Billie, London, UK
LOVED this tour. Great balance of knowledge and fun. Would do this tour again when some more non-london friends visited!

Thanks so much!

Jill, South Dakota, United States
Visited London a few weeks ago and went on the tour with Mark (of the Awesome Hat). Very informative and very professional. He knew how to keep the group together and safe, how to address everyone, how to get his information across, and was over all very entertaining and interesting. To all my friends visiting London, I'm suggesting they check out your tour.

Thu and Mark (part of a group of 8), London
Kev was bloody Great! a wealth of knowledge and made the whole Jack the Ripper experience well worth the cold of london. Will be bringing our foreign friends to see Kev again when they come later in the year. Cheers Big Ears!

Greta, Pidder, Gustav & Viv., London
Dickie, great tour, we all very much enjoyed the evening.

Sean Miller, Glastonbury
I went on one of your tours several years ago - the tour guide was a retired Beefeater and it was an excellent evening which I thoroughly enjoyed. At the time I'd been reading a lot of Ripper books and as we walked I found it fascinating to run some of the theories off the well-informed guide.

A couple of years ago I decided to try another tour, this time with a certain company who do tours and have a thick white leaflet. Not only was the magic not there, the guide aloof and appearing to be working to a script but when the tour ended I was abandoned somewhere in the middle of Whitechapel... it took me ages to find my way back to a tube station.

So be warned those who go for the other because their leaflet is everywhere - you'll be getting an inferior product.

Jenna, Meg and Aine, Cornwall, Wales and Kerry
Dickie,
Don't be going to Cork now...Kerry is far superior.
Twas an amazing experience, we were enthralled by your awesome presence. We're all too scared to walk the streets of London now, due to your intense story telling!
Catch us if you can...............mwhahahahahahaha

Dave & Jeanette, Blackburn
We took the tour with Dickie on 21.02.08. He was great, very theatrical and entertaining. He obviously enjoys it. A proper chap!

Smithdon High History Group, Norfolk
A great tour. We went on 4th Feb and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done Kevin. Apologies for half of us not getting your jokes. They have been informed.

Many thanks
Smithdon High History Group

Heidi Young, Norfolk, England
On the afternoon of 4th February I took 27 of my History GCSE students, all aged 15, on the tour. Our guide was Kevin and he was fantastic; the students were totally engrossed and thoroughly loved the whole experience. I have highly recommended this tour to many friends and colleagues, it was sooooo good! I will definitely return next year with another group of students as I have written in into the scheme of work as an essential educational visit. Thanks a million Kevin, even if your 'jokes' were a bit suspect!

Barbara and Ariel Maldonado, East Longmeadow, Massachusetts
A bit overdue in writing about our tour with Kevin....It was absolutely wonderful. We realize that Kevin does the tours, probably in his sleep, however, he gave us a tour as if it was his 1st with excitement and enthusiasm. With a group of 15 or so..it was ideal...We passed several large groups along the way who looked quite bored. They were not able to hear the guides who appeared to be lackluster and rote.......Thanks, Kevin...Have a great pic of you and the tour @ home.....

Ian Horrocks, Rossendale, Lancs , England
my girlfriend and i were on the tour last night (17th of feb) we had a wonderful time made extremely enjoyable by the tour guide Mark ,whose knowledge is second to none . i have told all my friends and relatives this is a tour not to be missed . thank you for an informative and amusing night , well done guys

Kimberley , Australia
I am a student doing Jack the Ripper for a Major assessment task. I went on the tour on the 25th of January expecting something completely dead. I was gratefully surprised when it turned out to be the best tour have ever been on and as a student i have been on many. Absoultley better than anyone else or teacher could have taught me
If you get the chance take it up
Thanks for a great night

Nigel & Vi Turner, Cardiff, Wales
Did the tour on Thursday 7th with Dickie as the guide. A well conducted and informative tour from a Beefeater who is knowledgeable and has a quick witted sense of humour.
Although we really came for the Tut Exhibition at the O2 the tour was the highlight of the break.
I will recommend the tour to everyone plus include website links to anyone who is interested. Will definately do the tour next time we are back.

Thank you for for a great evening.

Sunday 10th February. We had Dickie as our guide, he was great, full of information, both about Jack and other parts of london.

It was an amazing experience to walk along cobbled streets knowing that Jack had once walked those same streets looking for victims.

I can fully reccomend the walk, wear some comfy shoes and enjoy the experience.

Darren Cook, Brisbane, Australia
What a great night! I went last Sunday the 10th. Dickie was a seasoned professional and certainly knew his stuff. Trying not to put people off but I didnt get a good night's sleep afterwards, maybe it was the picture Dickie painted that made my blood turn to ice. Well worth it

Jade Wild, Reigate

Great tour last Saturday (3 February 2008). Quite a big group it being a Saturday, but Mark was excellent as the guide. And Jack the Ripper is... well, you need to go on the tour to find out!

Im not into things like that but he loves it & knows all about famous killers.We both really enjoyed it, i was surprised that i liked it.Now im hooked!well worth the money & the walk. A+ from us!

Marie Smith , Sussex, England
We did our tour on Monday 10th December. Our guide for the evening was an informative Mark. It was a very interesting tour with extra bits of 'gossip' thrown in as well.
Mark, it appears you are right, your not mentioned much on the guest book - perhaps you need to continue torturing more of your guests to get mentioned!
Good value for money, good fun, highly recommended.

Lozza , London
Dickie was our guide and he was absolutely brilliant. Excellent tour (walking shoes a good idea) - would recommend to anyone. A++++

Steinar, Norway
Had a nice trip a few months ago(can`t remember his name but he was one of the beef eaters). I fully recommend this to everyone, it was exeLLent!

Lee, London
My friend and I went on the 22nd of December tour and we were very impressed!! Kev was excellent, one of the best tour guides we've had. He made it funny and exciting. Will definitely be telling my mates to go on this tour. Great stuff ;)

Selena, Suffolk, England
We had a brilliant tour with Steve, he is a very knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Lisa, London
The tour on Friday 14th December 2008 was fantastic, very informative, worth every penny and would recommend to others!! Mark our tour guide was excellent!!

Jessica, Minnesota, USA
I went on this tour with Dickie almost a week ago, and I was so busy traveling I didn't get a chance to fill out this form. I must say it was amazing though! I had a great time, and learned a lot. It was a good sized group, so I was able to hear everything clearly. Also, Dickie did a great job of pointing out other random spots of importance, such as Diagon Alley from the Harry Potter movies. Thanks a ton! I've recommended this tour for several of my friends, and I will possibly be returning with my mom in a few weeks. :)

Lorraine Hoddinott, Watanobbi, Australia
I was part of the 3rd of December tour with my sisterm brother and niece. I had heard of Jack but never realised the gruesome details of the murders. Chris brought the tale to life and made it a night not to be forgotten!

Livy, Australia / uk
A small group of us working here in london went on the tour with ken the other night it was cold, damp and windy, that did not matter, Ken the guide was excellent and entertaining and kept us on our toes all evening, his knowledge was so good even those who tried to out do him gave up in the end. would reccommend this tour to anyone thanks again Ken

Richard & Tracey, West Midlands, England
We had Dickie as our tour guide for the tour on the 8th of December and he is both knowledgeable and entertaining in his tour of Whitechapel. Wear some good walking shoes as the tour doesn't hang around!! Very good tour and highly recommended to anyone, from the UK or from abroad. Atmospheric on a cold Winters evening, the only thing missing was a London fog!! Great!!

Ashleigh O'Donnell, Glasgow
My friend and I went out on the tour on the 3rd of December. our tour guide was Chris. Overall it was fantastic - thouraghly enjoyed it and would reccomend it to others visiting London. Thanks!

It was SUCH a great tour! We had a really great tour guide who really set the mood through all the narrow dimly lit alleyways of East London! I loved it!

Would definitely reccomend this tour to others

Claire Morgan, Essex, UK
We had such a great night! The tour guide (Dickie) was excellent and kept us all very entertained throughout the walk. I can highly recommend this tour – 5/12/07

Michelle, London
Absolutely brilliant! Our guide (Simon) was an amazing and knowledgable guide who wove a story of intrigue and conspiracy in the to tale of the 'Ripper'.

I would higly recommend this tour as it was very good value for money. Only negative was that the tour was a little longer than anticipated (finished at 9.30!) and we were starving hungry!

Christoforo Pasquarette, Minneapolis, MN, USA
I went on the Ripping Yarns tour twice while living in London in 1999, and still enjoy the CD "The True Story of Jack the Ripper" I bought back then. I'm glad to see the tour grow and I think they are the best around.

Kev was our guide for the evening of 17th November on what was not only a very informative tour but a highly entertaining experience.

Steve, was our guide on the 11th November 07, he was very informative, with his history, and theories into Jack The Ripper, it was the 5th time we've done the walk, each time the tour gets better, and better, one day we may wear our boots out, and flush him out. On the night I video'd the tour and it's a great keep sake of the night, SO STEVE A BIG THANKYOU FOR SUCH A GREAT NIGHT !!!!!!!!

Larry and Laurie, Bristol UK
Did the tour on 09NOV07. Our guide Dickie and the tour were brilliant as they brought us back to 1888 London sparing no one of the chilling details and events. If you are a Jack the Ripper enthusiast, this tour is A MUST DO!! Many Thanks!!

Thankyou so much for a wonderful tour around London a couple of weeks ago. It was really good fun and we had a blast. It was great to get to know more about the grissly murders and potential suspects.

Thank you Simon for a fabulous walk on Halloween. Despite making me jump out of my skin a few times, your inimitable style made the tour informative, enjoyable and good fun. A great evening!

Tom Pfeiffer, Boston, MA
The tour with Simon was THE BEST part of my 4 day trip to London--and it was also the cheapest. I highly recommend this to anyone else, and I hope to go on the tour again next time I visit London.

Alison Austin, London
Chris was our guide and although his jokes were corny we all enjoyed the walk. I even looked up the city gates on the internet and found out more!
Shame so much of old London no longer exists.

Marie and John Gunton, Malvern, Worcestershire
We went on the tour on Friday 2 November 2007 with Simon as our guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Simon was very animated and informative - we learnt a lot about the legend of Jack the Ripper adn many other historical facts. It was a very enjoyable evening and one we would recommend highly.

Katie & crew, Islington, London
Just wanted to say how much of a good time we had on our tour on halloween night. Our guide Kev, was incredibly entertaining and very funny.

Beverley & Peter Frank, coulby newham cleveland
Simon was a very informative,freindly, interesting guide. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour,learning new things along the way. The photos were interesting, it was the highlight of our 4 day stay in london. We even went for a drink the very next day to the 10 bells and what a surprise we got. Very interesting. Keep working hard simon, we felt relaxed in your company.
