The tour was incredibly well done and Jenny is a true scholar. I highly recommend booking with her as she is a true professional. We learned so much that you will not learn from other tours or books

Brent_B

My wife were the only ones on this private tour and she was absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of not only about Jack the Ripper but the general area was excellent. She was never rushing us and would answer as many questions as we could throw at her. In the end, she presented facts and perspectives that will make you rethink everything you might already know.
