Went on tour with Magnus I have slow walking he raced ahead pushed through people in road & stood outside restaurant where we could see people eat.He nearly didn't gi to sherlock Holmes pub it was only because people complained & wasn't going to take us back to pick up point as stated only when my husband showed ticket decided to drop us back.He said it shouldn't have been printed on ticket.Really! He was knowledgeable on everything but not what we exoected

This tour was so NOT what we were thinking it would be! While our tour guide tried, it was not a great tour. We looked longingly at another, much bigger tour where the guide had pictures of victims, maps, and was animated and interesting. Our guide, Magnus, tried, but didn’t give the experience we had hoped for. We had to ask about Sherlock Holmes, to which Magnus replied with one sentence about it. We also didn’t get to see the William Wallace monument, which is the main reason why we spent $60 for each person instead of $20 for a regular tour. He spent much of his time talking to the bus driver, who was nice, but not the regular driver in a double decker bus. The driver of that bus had been delayed significantly by an accident and traffic, so we got this tour bus instead. Unforeseen things do happen and we understand this, however, this tour was NOT what we had paid for at all! We had the feeling that the rest of the people on this tour thought the same as us. We were in good spirits and loved being in London, so we didn’t let it ruin our evening. We just spent a lot of money on something that was false advertising. Don’t waste your time or money on this tour- get the cheaper one!

Led by Ripperologist Magnus, this was a fun tour with a good insight into what happened here. He was a little heavy on trying to promote his own stuff on the tour, but his theories make sense. His sense of humour made up for any perceived issues, and he kept us all entertained. He even wore the coat and hat, though he claimed it was because it was for the reason of it being NOT what the Ripper would have been wearing. Tour includes a coach ride, a walk, then another ride. Recommended for those in the beginnings of their Ripperology career, or those who just want something fun to do Halloween night like us.

Had a great evening. Learned a lot about the murders of Jack the Ripper. This was clearly a passion for our guide. Loved his dry wit and humor.

The story sharing by the tour guide, historical value of the story, the myths and legends and still unknowns!

Adam and Derek were absolutely all-star from start to finish! Adam was engaged and friendly with all the riders. He was sooooo very kind and helpful to a rider with a wheelchair. And Derek's knowledge of Jack the Ripper and more was top notch first rate! We had a blast!!!!

Coming from Australia mum and I were able to see parts of London we never would have been able to see all in one day!! The tour guide was so informative and we learnt so much about the city, history and monuments around. Being able to walk through the sites from those historic murders was very exciting for a fan of serial killers and history. We Highly recommend this tour

We took this tour on September 22nd and the first problem was taking a regular coach bus with a large group. Our tour guide Magnus started out fine and even dressed for the part a bit. He was bossy with the bus driver. Almost rude. Traffic was bad but unavoidable. The driver seemed to know how to work around it. First stop was around large office buildings, nothing spooky about it. Magnus mannered on with HIS theories as to who the Ripper was. He claimed to be an expert! He had maps for the large group to share. Couldn't he make more copies??? We were at the end of our rope with his self indulgence and when a taxi drive by my husband grabbed it and we left! We didn't like that we were just going to be "dropped off" at pub with no special place for the group to sit. At least take us back to the starting point. I took this tour with Evan Evans several years ago. It was MUCH more informative. We all went to a historic pub for fish and chips. Then back to drop off point. Don't waste your time and money with this tour. Find a better one!

The tour Nik was very informative. We had alot of laughs also. This tour was recommended by my cousin.

Magnus Nielson was very interesting and considerate. Our group was a bit older and some were less mobile, but Magnus seemed to stop and chat near arears where most people with mobility issues could have a seat on a bench, etc. and listen to his presentations and theories without losing anything at all. Most younger people remained on their feet for the approximate 90 minute waking tour, but for those seniors and or those of us with mobility issues, the "walking tour" was very tolerable and pleasant. Lot's of data, detail and theories shared by Magnus on these historic unsolved crimes.
