Does anyone have an opinion on which of these Jack the Ripper tours is better -- London Walks or Evan Evans?

I have taken the Original London Walks Jake the Ripper tour (w\Donald Rumbelow who wrote a book called The Complete Jack the Ripper) it was a wonderful tour and he is an excellent guide. I highly recommend it. Sorry I've never taken the Evan Evans tour. <BR>

We've taken the Evans&Evans tour, and loved it (comfortable bus, excellent guides, other sites visited besides Jack the Ripper's). I've never done a LondonWalk.

We did 3 LondonWalks, but not the Jack the Ripper walk specifically. We really enjoyed the walks, b/c the got us into areas we otherwise might not see (or only have ridden through by bus or under by the tube). If the weather is nice they are very enjoyable. We did two "pub" walks, which had geat historic info and stopped an occaisional historic pub. We also did a general crime walking tour, which was very interesting, but a little long, without a break. We found the pub tours nice b/c of the chance to sit for a minute or two and grab a refreshment. <BR>

I also took the London Walks tour with Donald Rumbelow, and highly recommend it. I liked the tour because he tried to be as factual about Jack the Ripper as possible and did not sensationalize it. Also, he was able to give insight into the life of the down-and-out during Victorian times. However, a warning - his walks are the most popular and there will be a large crowd. Even in the cold of January.

definitely the walking tour...however I must warn you that we went on the walking tour with Donald but he has become so popular that there were about one hundred people....!!!!His wife was with him, who is a guide, but everyone wanted to go with Donald since he was the featured tour guide that night...
