London: Jack the Ripper Interactive Tour in Whitechapel

Walk Whitechapel with a Ripperologist guide such as Jude, Caylan, or Saadiya, following the murders in chronological order. You’ll visit real crime scenes, hear the victims’ stories, discuss Ripper theories, and use a detective pack during this two-hour English-language tour.

“This was a really thorough and informative tour. Caylan was extremely knowledgeable and fun and centered the tour around the lives of the victims and the residents of Whitechapel at the time of the murders. This extra context gave us a lot of insight into Victorian society and the massive inequalities present between the haves and have-nots and was also a reminder to think critically about giving a face and a voice to marginalized groups. Would recommend!”
