Definitely worth booking!!! - Wow, what a trip! I recently took the "Jack the Ripper and Victorian London: Beyond the Shadows" tour and I'm still buzzing from the experience. First off, our guide, Nick was like a walking history book, but way cooler. He knew everything about Victorian London and Jack the Ripper's chilling escapades. But what I loved most was how he made history come alive. Instead of just talking about the murders, he painted a vivid picture of life in the East End back then. We strolled through the same streets as Jack and his victims, and let me tell you, it sent shivers down my spine! The reenactments were a total hoot. I felt like I was in a time machine, soaking up the sights and sounds of old London. Plus, our guide had a knack for storytelling that kept us hooked from start to finish. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a spooky good time, this tour is a must-do. Trust me, you won't regret it!

Perfect way to experience the area - This was our first trip to London. We wanted to see the iconic sights, but weren't sure how to go about it. Nick was the perfect guide. He had everything well organized and was able to show us the famous places we had heard about and some we hadn't. Nick knew the best places to stand and had interesting and funny stories everywhere we went. We enjoyed it so much we took a second tour with Nick.

Best tour guide ever. - A friend who traveled in London before me recommended Nick's guided tour to me, I am a person who has traveled for over two years in the last 7 years and I want to say that Nick was the best tour guide I have ever seen. Professional at the level of information in such a spectacular way, funny, exciting and with such deep knowledge. Thank you Nick for an unforgettable experience London would not have been the same without you!
