MORE ABOUT THIS TRIP
This journey will provide you with a step-by-step crime scene investigation that will draw from contemporary documents, police reports and eye witness accounts that will build a genuine understanding of the horror that the Whitechapel murders brought to the East End of London.
You will see original Victorian photographs, hold and study copies of the infamous Jack the Ripper letters and your guide will bring you up to date on all the latest finds concerning the murderer's identity.
“I really can’t recommend Time Travel highly enough”
"I have been organising school visits for 30 years and Time Travel have been the best tour organiser I have ever dealt with. Time Travel are a breath of fresh air for any organiser of school visits."
Mr Goodlad, Head of Humanities, Greater Manchester
Mrs Munro, Head of History, Kent
“Overall, our experience was fantastic and we would love to use you again. We are already considering a trip next year. Our year 10 and 9 students who have already been have already said they want to do again! The pre-tour support was brilliant and the tour itself went like clockwork.”
Mrs Smith, Teacher of History, Walsall
‘’From start to finish my experience with TTE has been fantastic. (My Tour Coordinator) has always been easy to reach and to talk to about all issues, big or small. Whilst on the trip the company did not disappoint with their excellent itinerary which was perfectly timed and was well managed.”
“We had a fantastic trip and I hold my hat off to you. The whole thing ran like clockwork and was a smooth trip to run. There was no queuing, tickets were sorted and the kids enjoyed the itinerary. Thank you for all your efforts with this - we have 31 very happy kids."
Mr Hall, Head of History, Manchester
Mr Shannon, History Teacher, Blackburn
“School trips are difficult and take a lot of organisation; time is precious and limited in our profession, but I can honestly say that going with TTE was a life saver. Brilliantly efficient in the planning of our bespoke itinerary, no request was too much and we would not hesitate to recommend this tour company"
Mrs Stobbs, Head of Humanities, Blackpool
“From start to finish I feel that TTE have done an excellent job finding us the right trip for our needs. The range of activities available was perfect and gave us all valuable new experiences at great value for money. The personal support meant that we went confident that we knew exactly what we were doing."
