About Matthew
I'm Matt, the founder and guide at 'On the Front Tours' in Berlin, Germany. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, I've been living in Berlin for the past five years. I started running military history tours through Berlin as a hobby in early 2019, which quickly turned into a full-time job due to my passion for guiding and sharing the city's immense history with others.
From a young age, I've been an avid student of military history, with a particular interest in World War II. At 17, I joined the Australian Army Reserve and served for eight years. After leaving the military, I earned a degree in International Politics from Deakin University and spent eight years working in sales, eventually becoming the Head of Sales for Germany at a Singapore-based logistics software company.
My love for guiding was discovered while working as a tour guide in Australia, showcasing the country's beautiful landscape to tourists from around the world. It was during this time that I met my wife, Isabelle. Combining my passion for military history and my joy for guiding, I founded 'On the Front Tours to share my enthusiasm with others interested in exploring Berlin's rich history.
