Geogad's Mobile Tour of Jack the Ripper's London make it easy for travelers to explore both the places tied to the murder spree of Jack the Ripper and the history of Victorian London. This tour guides travelers to the locations of six murders associated with Jack the Ripper. Just about every location linked to Jack the Ripper and his victims has been transformed over the 120 years since the East End was a killing ground for the world's most notorious murder. Geogad leads travelers to these locations and shows what the locations were like when Jack walked the streets of the East End. The tour explains how the police tried to catch this new type of criminal, the serial killer. During the tour, you can also learn about the unfortunates who were Jack's victims and what life was like for them and others in the East End of London during the golden reign of Queen Victoria, when England's empire was at its height of wealth and power. The tour also introduces the most popular suspects for Jack the Ripper, both then and now.
This new Geogad Mobile Tour winds through the East End and visits the sites of Jack the Ripper's kills in the same order as the murders occurred. The tour consists of approximately two hours of audio narration and can take around three hours to walk, assuming no breaks.
All Geogad Mobile Tours contain descriptions and photos of the tour stops, which include places that are very popular and off-the-beaten path. The tours are designed to be completely self-contained. They include photos of maps to direct the traveler from one tour location to the next. To make it easy to recognize the tour stop, each tour section begins with a photo of the tour location. Other photos in the tours show interesting physical details that could be missed if not pointed out. Some of the included photos show the tour locations in the past and the people that shaped the history of the area.
Geogad Mobile Tours are designed for accessibility for all travelers over multiple distribution formats. The tours are available on the Internet, on mobile phones, as downloads to mobile media players and over wireless connections to GPS-enabled Google Android-powered phones through Geogad's Android application.
