Hey there, I’m Patrick, your enthusiastic host for all things Brussels! This city has a special charm—it's not too big, never overcrowded, and everything is just a short stroll or tram ride away. My mission? To make you fall head over heels for Brussels, and I can’t wait to show you why. I love hanging out at cafes and people-watching or wandering through the city's vibrant neighborhoods. From the bustling city center to the hip spots in Ixelles, Laeken, Etterbeek, Woluwe, and Evere, I know all the best places. I'm your go-to guy for the top tourist attractions, secret photo ops, and quirky spots like hidden cemeteries, lush gardens, and cozy courtyards. Plus, my gay neighborhood adventures are a blast! Let’s explore Brussels and have an unforgettable adventure together!

My reviews
-
There is a survey sent in advance to get your areas of interest. Patrick was our guide for 2 hr journey and he packed a lot into that time which I'm grateful for. It was a good orientation to the city and it's history as well as tips for shopping and eating. Patrick also took our photo in picturesque places and sent them to us after. Good communication prior to tour which I appreciated.

Patrick was able to provide a full private two hour walking tour of the city. He was able to articulate the history and culture that makes Brussels a beautiful city. He set the pace to my speed and was able to maximize the 2 hours well. He was able to share some secrets spots that you won’t find on google. I recommend a tour with Patrick at the beginning of a stay in Brussels to be able to spend more time visiting the various sites.

My stay in Brussels was very short…about 8 hours of awake time due to work travel. Patrick was able to provide a full private two hour walking tour of the city. He was able to articulate the history and culture that makes Brussels a beautiful city. He set the pace to my speed and was able to maximize the 2 hours well. He was able to share some secrets spots that you won’t find on google. My only regret is not having more time to explore the museums and restaurants he pointed out. I highly recommend a tour with Patrick at the beginning of a stay in Brussels to be able to spend more time visiting the various sites. Patrick shares an excellent place to get waffles and an economical location for chocolate.
