Interesting tour on true crime. - Declan has a wealth of knowledge about this subject. The tour is not for faint hearted. He keeps you fully engaged in the tour and makes you think . He is also an author on this topic and excellent memory of facts .

A fascinating walk around the hidden streets of London - My husband and I wanted to book a 'walking tour' of London and booked the 'Serial Killers: The Blood and Tears Walk'. We are not fascinated by serial killers or have any specific interest in this area, but, wanted to know a little more about the history of London and who is not fascinated by 'Jack the Ripper'? We found Declan to be engaging and very knowledgeable about London and serial killers - there were only 6 of us on the tour - so, ideal size to keep us engaged. He knew his subject very well and we all enjoyed a 2 hour walking trip and learning about the depravaties of London many years ago! We would recommend, even if you are not an expert in this area.

Highly recommended. - This tour is a great experience for people looking for fascinating, grisly stories from the many historical streets of London. The guide is entertaining, knows his stuff and offers a fascinating answer to the riddle of Jack the Ripper. For people from outside London, it’s also an opportunity to explore one of the most underrated, unexplored areas of the city.

Murderously marvellous tour - My partner booked this as a gift for me as we both enjoy walking tours and have done a few in and around London. Unlike some this one is more interactive at points compared to the guide just telling you information. As such this is one of the best ones we have done by far and Declan was a fantastic guide. He was informative, approachable and considering the tour subject matter was very discreet and respectful of the victims. Sadly for Declan we were the only 2 on the tour when we did it but it did mean we had a monopoly of his attention. The tour as a whole was structured so well that you were hooked on every part and Declan was personable in a way that made you feel at ease. I have to admit I was eager to get a copy of Declans book. (Which my lovely partner bought me later that evening.) I would recommend the tour and am looking to book another one of Declans tours in the future. (Hopefully Declan finds a copy of 'Bridge across time' a.k.a 'Terror at London Bridge' to watch at some point)

A Brilliant Tour with the BEST Guide! - My sisters and I have done lots of walking tours, and we all agreed - Declan was the best guide we’ve ever had! The walk itself was really interesting and full of great stories, but it was Declan’s way of engaging and involving us all that made it fantastic and memorable.
