London: Jack the Ripper
Leading the list is the city of London with its most famous legend: Jack the Ripper. In this award-winning tour, visitors will participate in a hands-on reconstruction on the streets of Whitechapel where the story of this dreadful 1888 killer took shape. You will encounter the actual reconstruction of the crimes, learn about the social context of Victorian London, who the victims were, which police missteps prevented catching him, and the most uncomfortable theories that are discussed. Along the way you’ll visit, for example, Tower Hill and the vicinity of the Citizen, the old Roman Wall, Mitre Square, New Goulston Street, the Whitechapel district and its historic alleys, Spitalfields and its social milieu, and The Ten Bells, the pub linked to the victims.
