London: The Original Jack the Ripper Tour in French

Step into the dark streets of Victorian London on the original, award-winning Jack the Ripper walking tour. With more than 1,500 GetYourGuide reviews and a 4.8/5 rating, this is one of London's most highly rated Jack the Ripper experiences. Travel back to 1888, when a series of brutal murders terrorised London's East End and created a mystery that remains unsolved more than a century later. Led by your expert Ripperologist guide, you'll become part of the investigation. Explore the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields where the crimes actually happened. Visit locations connected to the murders, discover where crucial evidence was found and hear how Victorian detectives attempted to identify the killer. But this isn't simply a collection of gruesome stories. You'll learn about the women behind the famous case, the lives they led and the reality of living in one of London's poorest neighbourhoods during the late Victorian period. Then it's time to investigate the suspects. Use your own Jack the Ripper suspect cards, examine photographic evidence and hear the theories surrounding some of the most notorious names connected with the case. Could the killer have been a doctor? A butcher? A member of the establishment? Or somebody the police barely noticed? Your guide will separate fact from fiction, revealing what we genuinely know about the murders and challenging some of the myths that have grown around Jack the Ripper. Along the way, explore some of the East End's most fascinating locations, including Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Mitre Square, Petticoat Lane, Christ Church and the legendary Ten Bells pub. Discover how Whitechapel became the centre of the world's most infamous murder mystery and how newspapers, police failures and public fear helped transform an unidentified Victorian killer into the legend of Jack the Ripper. You'll also uncover the wider world of Victorian London — from poverty and policing to Sherlock Holmes and the public's growing fascination with crime. Finally, it's your turn to decide. Who was Jack the Ripper? Study the evidence, consider the suspects and make your accusation before the investigation comes to an end. The murders were real. The locations are real. The mystery remains unsolved. Come and investigate it for yourself.

Included free: The Ripperologist’s Companion Every guest on this walk gets our interactive case file. It holds the five women and who they actually were, ten suspects with the evidence for and against each one, the streets as they stood in 1888, a map, a timeline and three puzzles to solve. It opens before your walk so you can read up, but it keeps the murder sites sealed until you have walked the ground, so nothing is spoiled before your guide tells you. The moment your tour ends, the whole file unlocks and there are prizes for the guests who work the case properly. No app to download. It opens in your browser with your booking reference and the name on the booking. Nothing else to buy.
