Overview

Accompained by your expert Ripperologist with 30 years experience in leading Jack the Ripper walks, this is the only Jack the Ripper tour that uses the hi-tech equipment that provides all the extra pre-recorded segments that you listen to on route. Your group will also view many photos of victims, crime scenes and the area from 1888 all on a back-lit 14" tablet which enables you to see these clearly even in the dark!

Your group will hear all different pre-recorded sections walking from stop to stop, such as some of the policemen chasing Jack the Ripper, questioning a tenant about suspicious people in the area, street vendors cries, newspaper sellers shouting headlines, music from the time and other background noises.

Also, at the murder sites pre-recorded of events leading up to that murder, the murder or the discovery of the body afterwards.
This is the ONLY Jack the Ripper tour to include these extra sections which give you a real feeling of being back in 1888!
