Small Group Jack the Ripper Tour + Radio Mike And Earphones

Highly Informed

For the traveller who demands high quality information from a guided tour, Richard Walker’s Jack the Ripper Tour is an outstanding walk delivered with knowledge, passion, enthusiasm, and humour.

From The Start

We will begin our tour at Whitechapel Station because that’s where Jack the Ripper started. The most popular tours go from Aldgate or Aldgate East Station missing out on the first murder site.

A Quality Experience

I guarantee an outstanding experience by stictly limiting numbers on each tour and I use a radio mike and you have an earphone.

Thank you to Thesia, Erica, Drew and Shane for this lovely photograph.

And thank you to Christine and Peter on the same tour for a fabulous review left on the London Walks website.

This was an amazing tour! Richard was very knowledgeable of both facts and all the speculation documented about Jack the Ripper. I doubt you could find anyone more prepared on this subject than Richard. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed sharing that knowledge with everyone. It was fascinating.

I especially liked the sound assist device Richard supplied us. It made it so we could easily hear every detail he gave us. We came across other tours where the guides were having to yell over all the street noise. As well as all the attendees having to get up close and personal with everyone just to hear. I liked that I could hear Richard and could look around while imagining what it looked like back in the 1800s.

This tour is outside with a lot of walking and standing so heed the warning when it says “dress appropriately”. We had some that didn’t and unfortunately left the tour.

Hands down this tour is worth taking while you are in London.

Took the tour June 7th, what an AMAZING experience myself and our group had. Richard is an outstanding tour guide, his experience and his research into this matter are well evident. Loved that he started us at White Chapel station in East London, scene of the first Ripper murder. In addition to his amazing oratory skills, Richard uses an iPad to further explain and initiate the group to not only the complete Ripper story but also the lives and conditions that existed during those times. He uses headphones so that every person in the group hears every word! Loved the small group atmosphere. Can’t rate this tour high enough, it was an enlightening and educational experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed! You will too!

Dear Richard

I just wanted to send a personal thank you having left a formal review on the site. The walk last night was fantastic and exceeded my expectations.

As a history teacher in search of some inspiration for my classes I left with that and so much more. You’ve succeeded in getting me totally ‘hooked’ on the cases in a way I hadn’t expected. The perfect history lesson!

I was so impressed by the way you weaved together the amazing depth of contextual detail. An essential for a fellow historian. However it was the way that you layered in the evidence and presented it in a way that allowed us to seriously interrogate it was so powerful.

I applaud your recent thematic refocus on the deep-seated societal prejudices that we still wrestle with today. It’s given me so much to think about, and research further. Your concentration on the lives of not just the victims but those around them as well as the general social history of the area was exactly what I needed for the unit I’m about to deliver.

My students are going to benefit hugely from the insight you’ve given me. I’ll do my best to inject equal passion for the subject as you did.

When convenient, I’d very much appreciate receiving the additional information you mentioned you’d forward when we talked ahead of the walk.

Thanks again, and best wishes

Ed

Thank you, Ed!

My sole aim has been to create the best Jack the Ripper walk in London. To join my Jack the Ripper walk, you must pre-book because I need to guarantee that the number of guests on any tour does not exceed 12.

Being guided on a Jack the Ripper tour will probably be an important part of your London adventure. You will be setting aside an evening. The story of the Jack the Ripper murders is fascinating and deserves the best possible conditions. You do not want to struggle to hear it.

On my Small Group Jack the Ripper Tour, I use a radio microphone, and you will have an earpiece connected to a radio receiver. You will hear every word, no matter the sound around you. You can feel free to move away from the group if you want a particular photograph. You won’t miss a word of this amazing story.

You know exactly which guide you will get on this Jack the Ripper tour because I will be your guide.

I’m Richard Walker, a Jack the Ripper tour guide for nearly twenty years. I hope to meet you on one of my tours.
