We booked a private tour with Emily and it was well worth it. Emily was brilliant - her knowledge was amazing. And I sincerely appreciated her candor about some of less flattering aspects of how items ended up in the museum and British history overall. It was like having access to a history professor for 2.5 hours. Highly recommend!

George was absolutely brilliant and his knowledge of not just Jack the Ripper but also the area was fantastic. I would recommend this tour and with George to anyone wishing to learn more of the history of this area. This tour was well worth the money.

George was absolutely brilliant and his knowledge of not just Jack the Ripper but also the area was fantastic. I would recommend this tour and with George to anyone wishing to learn more of the history of this area.

Alex was very entertaining indeed, he was able to hold everyones attention and allowed just the right amount of time to take photos and answer questions before moving along to the next 'stop' of the tour.

Very friendly photgrapher and she took amazing photos. What a great day!
