Hi, I’m Sean
Hi, I’m Sean
I’ve lived in Brussels for 14 years
I speak English, French, German
I am I.T. Consultant
Based in Brussels since 2006, my professional background is in IT. 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.

Simply wonderful. Sean gave my wife and I a fantastic, detailed, and highly interesting four hour tour. The personalized itinerary allowed us to experience Brussels from a unique vantage point and Sean never failed to answer our (many) questions. At the end of the tour, Sean gave us some great restaurant and book recommendations. Would 100% recommend and you will not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to get Sean as your guide!

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.
