    Hi, I’m Sean

    5.0 (26)

    Based in Brussels since 2006, my professional background is in IT.

    Discover more about me

    In 2022, I decided to come out from behind the computer screen to train as a tour guide. I finished my course in 2024 and I now hold the Flanders Tourism tour guide badge. I see myself as an all-rounder but my main interests are history and architecture, and if you are looking for a green oasis in the city, I can be of assistance there too. They say that 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' I believe that facts and figures are more relevant when explained in the context of your surroundings and what you are seeing in the present moment. That is why I try to make my tours as informative and engaging as possible by incorporating plenty of visual references. The city’s past has made Brussels what it is today: a multicultural society. There’s something here for everyone. So, let me show you my Brussels, and I will help you discover yours. I speak English, French, German and Dutch.

    Here’s how I can help make your experience unique.

    I love to explore

    • Taste authentic local cuisine
    • Explore Art Nouveau architecture
    • Stroll scenic city parks
    • Browse lively street markets

    Languages I speak

    • English
    • French
    • German
    • Dutch

    My hosting style

    I make Brussels' history and architecture engaging with vivid storytelling, visual references, and hidden green spaces, ensuring every experience is immersive and insightful.

    Fun fact about me

    After years in IT, I swapped my computer screen for the streets of Brussels and now love bringing the city’s history and architecture to life through visual storytelling.

    We had the best time! The experience was personalized to what we wanted, and the host’s knowledge helped us discover things we couldn’t on our own. It felt like exploring with a friend.
    Cindy
    I love creating experiences tailored to what matters most to you. Whether you're craving to taste authentic local cuisine, explore Art Nouveau architecture, stroll through scenic city parks, or browse lively street markets, I’ll help you discover a Brussels that's truly your own.

    I can’t think of a better person to show you around town and explain what you are seeing. He really listens when you explain what you want to see and adjusts itinerary accordingly. Very attentive to my friend’s minor mobility issues as well. Sean wanted us to love Belgium and by the end of the tour we did. Thanks Sean for a wonderful evening.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Montmartre with Clovis! He made it fun and interesting, with little tidbits about the artists who had lived there in the past. He also gave an excellent restaurant recommendation, where we had our dinner later.

    Highly recommend City Unscripted for the ease of setting up this private tour of Montmartre. But more impressed with our guide, Clovis. He grew up in the area, very clear speaking English, and picked a fantastic route for us. It was almost as if he already knew that we didn't like crowds and really just wanted a slow paced journey through the area. My family (spouse, 14YO, & 11YO) eventually ran out of steam (aka kid's attention span :-) so Clovis showed us to a restaurant and reminded us to grab an eclair from the childhood bakery (unanimous, BEST EVER!). Fantastic family memory. Thank you Clovis!

    This was a very helpful and valuable tour as this was our first trip to Paris and we only had 4 days in the city. We arrived in Paris at 9am from USA and had the tour booked at 2pm to kick off our visit. We booked a 3hour walking tour to give us an overview & layout of the city and get a better understanding of "getting around". Our guide was Clovis. Clovis was great. Clovis is a Parisian and definitely knows the city, a lot of history, cultural info, and was fun to be with. He also speaks great English and was very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do. Clovis met us at our Hotel (7 arrondissement) and we developed a 3 hour tour on the spot. Clovis also have a tutorial on the Metro so we were able to utilize the Metro for the rest of our trip. Overall, this was a great tour, a great value and a great start our trip to Paris. Thank you Clovis.

    We absolutely loved our 5 hour tour with Kenya. He's so smart, well studied in history and great at English. He wove our desires to see & learn about specific famous parts of the city with some "hidden treasures". He brought us to several food and drink spots where the locals go. He knows so much about the history of Kyoto, the area and Japan as well as current affairs. We loved our time with him!

    Antonia reached out ahead of time and asked if there was anything we were interested in which we shared. She covered those spots along with sharing historical knowledge, information on bolognese food and ‘legends / stories of bologna. Was a fun informative walking tour of the historical area of bologna and walked thru the upscale shopping area as well. Great overview of a lovely city.

    This was the best private tour that I have taken. First, I was contacted by the tour company and provided with a questionnaire shortly after signing up for it. The questionnaire was relatively detailed and asked for my personal interests and what I would like to see. After completing it, I was contacted by Jimmy (my tour guide) a day or so later by WhatApp, who provided me with a draft itinerary. After discussion with him , we agreed to the final itineraries. It was great that I was matched with Jimmy as he was extremely knowledgeable about Singapore’s history and immersed me in the history and the growth of Singapore from 1960’s to the present (which was my interest). I would highly recommend this tour as they will tailor it to your interests rather than having a pre-arranged tour and a tour guide with just a script. I would highly recommend it to anyone who visits Singapore. In addition, I would like to thank Jimmy for his great work.
