Hi, I’m Patrick
Hi, I’m Patrick
I’ve lived in Brussels for 24 years
I speak English, Cantonese, Malaysian and some French, Mandarin
I am a Flight Attendant
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

Hi Patrick, happy to meet you and thanks for being our guide. We enjoyed the walking tour experience. Appreciate your knowledge, friendliness and helpfulness. We managed to navigate around Brussels and the train rides to other cities outside of Brussels with your help. Love your recommendations for food too. We enjoyed our meal - mussels at Leon and waffles and Maison Dandoy! Thank you once again for being our guide :)
