After looking at all the Jack the Ripper tours and the complaints about nighttime crowds, I searched for a daytime tour and found Stephen. I could not be more happy with my selection. Knowledgeable, personable, and full of information, Stephen went above and beyond to make sure I saw and learned everything about the Ripper, Whitechapel, and the history of East London. Can't recommend highly enough!

MartinTourguide

The stories, films and documentaries you see all come together on this fascinating, complete Tour, featuring the places, the facts and thoughts, the feel and experiences of the period. The people involved and the records and what they reveal. The walk was extensive but easy to do, with a nice tea break en route. Stephen has researched the subject and added humour and the ability to paint pictures of the era, and most importantly, put that across in a way that we enjoyed thoroughly Thank you

Stephen was superb as a tour guide, friendly, funny and so knowledgeable, we had a private tour and he was so flexible with our requirements, adapting the start place and times to work around our needs. I would highly recommend.

What a fantastic tour, highly recommend!, our tour guide was Stephen who was so knowledgeable my husband and i were hanging on to every word he was saying and to visit the sites that Jack the Ripper had actually been to was mind blowing!. The great thing with Stephen is he is the "Oracle" of London so while we were walking round he was also pointing out other historic places, an example being he showed us where the great fire of London started, Pudding Lane, which without him we would never of seen. Nothing is too much trouble so if you need to stop of for a coffee/tea Stephen is more that happy to have a break and answer any questions you may have (ask him where you can buy the best hot chocolate!). As my husband and i not very familiar with London, what was really nice is that Stephen picked us up from our hotel as i have mentioned nothing is a problem, Stephen clearly loves his job as his knowledge and professionalism is apparent. We met as clients but left as friends. P.S Stephen is also an author and has written a few books on the subject so make sure you ask him about them as they are great reads.

We were escorted by Stephen, a simply superb guide. Knowledgeable and very communicative. He walked at a good pace and we were taken to all the key sites. Thank you Stephen it was memorable.

Sharmalino

Great tour! Stephen was very informative and engaging, and despite the awful English weather kept our group interested and chatty. I had multiple colleagues from abroad who found the tour extremely interesting and were left with a keen interest in learning more! Would highly recommend this tour!

TravellerGuy10101

Did a couple of tours with Stephen in early March. He was extremely knowledgeable and just generally a really nice bloke. I was a bit strapped for time so did two tours in one day, Jack the ripper and the Churchill tour. I was a bit unsure about spending the whole day on a 1 on 1 tour. With Stephen it wasn't an issue, he was really interesting, provided thorough and lively explanations of every site and even answered all my stupid questions without complaint. Especially enjoyable was our trip on the train when he explained in detail the history behind the underground and each stop along the way. The highlight was when a foreign TV crew was so impressed by his knowledge of Churchill - they decided to interview us!

<p>Top Notch tour and TOP NOTCH Tour Guide in Kevin. He was so knowledgable and personable. A great person to spend a few hours with on a Sunday afternoon. Well worth the time and the money. I appreciated the personal communication before the tour to coordinate where to meet. We had a ball on this tour and highly recommend it.</p>
