Whitechapel Jack the Ripper Mystery Adventure

This is not a tour for the faint-hearted. It’s a sobering investigation into one of London’s darkest chapters.
Today, the crime scenes are part of a busy, modern city — but the trail overlays them with evidence and testimony that bring 1888 vividly to life. It’s a tour for the mind as much as for the body.

There are no lurid performances here. Just the real locations, original sources, and the cold facts of the case. Through historical documents and eyewitness accounts, you’ll learn how five brutal murders became the world’s most enduring mystery.

At the end, you’ll confront the same question that has haunted investigators for 130 years: who was Jack the Ripper?
