Walk Whitechapel’s historic streets, hear the story of the 1888 murders, and weigh the evidence behind London’s enduring mystery.
About this tour
More than 135 years after the Whitechapel murders, Jack the Ripper’s identity remains unknown. Walk through the streets where the events of autumn 1888 unfolded and explore the history behind one of London’s most enduring mysteries.
On this 2-hour London Jack the Ripper walking tour, an expert guide leads you through Whitechapel’s alleyways, courtyards, and historic corners. Historical photographs reveal how these places looked at the time, while the stories bring the Victorian East End to life. Hear about the victims and the world they inhabited, examine leading suspects, and follow the police investigation that captured public attention. This is more than a ghost story: it’s a close look at the evidence, the people, and the true-crime fascination that grew around the case.
Join the walk through Whitechapel, consider the clues, and decide which theory makes the most sense to you.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.93 from 182 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 7% in London means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in London by this score.
