Knowledgeable, flexible and friendly guide! - Matt is an exceptional tour guide. I went on his Jack the Ripper tour with my family, and each of us brought very different perspectives: one person was a film specialist familiar with Ripper portrayals in cinema, another a historian knowledgeable in Victorian social history but unfamiliar with the case itself, and I came as a devoted listener of Hallie Rubenhold’s Bad Women podcast and an avid social history googler. Matt tailored the tour seamlessly to our interests. He was incredibly knowledgeable about both the Ripper case and the wider historical and geographical context. He encouraged our questions and theories, helping us explore them with genuine insight and guiding us on an intellectual journey throughout. His ability to adapt and respond made the tour feel both personal and enriching. Beyond the core content, Matt was a brilliant storyteller and conversationalist. He brought the area to life with vivid detail, and his warmth and curiosity created a real sense of connection. Matt also adjusted very well to our time needs — we needed to leave 30 minutes early from the two-hour tour so my family could catch a coach back to Wales. He kept us fully informed about any content that would be shortened or skipped and asked our preferences throughout. It had been a long, hot day in London, and my mum has ongoing mobility difficulties with her legs. Matt adapted the pace and selected stops accordingly, ensuring the experience remained accessible and enjoyable for all of us. His combination of deep subject knowledge, flexibility, and personal attention made this an outstanding experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his tour.

Fun and unique tour for true crime lovers and beyond! - A must-book experience for all true crime junkies! Matt was an absolutely fantastic tour guide, painting a vivid picture of Whitechapel life in the 19th century while walking our group to the various scenes of the crimes of one of history's most notorious serial killers. We loved our outing so much that my friends and I booked another tour with him later in our trip! The tour was also a fun way to explore the East End of the city, which has tons of hidden gems compared with the more touristy London hotspots.
