    We did this walking tour our first day in the city to get a feel for our neighborhood. Our guide, Lando, took us on a 2+ hour walking tour of all of the historical, architectural, and culinary highlights in Roma Norte and Condesa. He even suggested a fabulous restaurant where we had our first meal in CDMX, and it did not disappoint. Lando was great, he answered all of our questions, and took tons of great photos of us to capture the memories we made. Highly recommend.

    Hi, I’m Sean

    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

    • 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! Our host tailored everything to us—it felt like exploring with a knowledgeable friend.

    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.

    Eric, Oct 2025

    Leon was super flexible with our needs and he spent a lot of time explaining to us how we could navigate the city, which we had asked for. It's made the rest of the trip so much easier. He also was really well informed on the sights he took us to, guiding us to great vendors and steering us away from tourist traps. Also he was a pleasure to spend the day with! We'd book with Leon again in a heartbeat.

    Leon was so knowledgeable and he provided the perfect experience for first time travellers on their first day in Japan. He taught us how to navigate the subway/trains, took us to the hot spots but also showed us the hidden gems that only locals know about. He personalised our day to meet our interests and we packed so much into one day, yet we never felt rushed. We highly recommend Leon and will never forget the experience he gave us.

    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.

    Had a fantastic tour with Kenya back in January exploring many of Kyoto's beautiful sights. One of my favourite parts was visiting the Sake distilleries in the south- they were super interesting but also the surrounding area was virtually free of tourists and felt like a more authentically Japanese area. Very knowledgeable, friendly and especially helpful with taking photos and videos since I was a lone traveller!

She guided us across this sprawling city with confidence and we saw and tasted so much in our time with her. She got us back to the train station so we could easily find our way back to our base in Kyoto. We learned that Osaka folks love to have fun and we saw just where the fun happens!

    Hi there!

    Discover more about me

    I’m Alex Before ending up in Japan, many years back, I had a nomad life across several Asian countries for many years as well. I spent most of that time in India, where among other activities I had my first experiences as a tour guide. There I also met my wife, and when the relationship got more serious we decided to settle down and have a more stable life, we chose Japan where she is from. Since then I had many personal experiences in this country in different fields such as human relations, jobs in different sectors, trips, bizarre situations, etc, experiences that I always like to share, together with some knowledge about aspects of the culture that I studied for years, just for the sake of getting knowledge without thinking that I would do this activity later on. By the way, I appreciate a lot the human factor, and besides having a responsibility I enjoy a lot just meeting and being with new people. In other words; I love this job, I love the culture I show, and I love human communication in itself. Let’s meet and spend time together so I can show you the best of this city, the cultural capital of Japan
