    I had such a wonderful time exploring Osaka with Fumiko! From the beginning, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful in planning a tour that matched exactly what I was looking for. She guided me through charming neighborhoods, local markets, and hidden gems that I never would have discovered on my own. Her deep knowledge of the city, culture, and everyday life in Osaka added so much meaning to everything we saw. I especially appreciated how flexible the tour was—we could take our time and truly enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. If you're looking for a tour that’s personal, authentic, and full of heart, I recommend this.

    This tour was great because the company customizes the tour to your needs and they even prepare a questionnaire before you go on the tour. But what made the tour great was Lando as he was not only knowledgeable but very entertaining to be with and most importantly knew where to go, what to eat, and what to experience so that I would have a good time. I highly recommend this tour anyone!

    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

    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.

    Brussels was a truly amazing experience. Sean is a fantastic tour guide and an interesting, entertaining, fun person to be with. He showed us all the major interests in Brussels, as well as the small things that would normally be skipped. Brussels has so much to offer so much history and this tour really did the city justice. Sean is easy to talk to, conscious of your needs and able to pivot and change directions should you suddenly want something different included in your tour. We highly recommend the tour itself and Sean as your guide.

    The private walking tour with Paola made my day. The two hours were over before I knew it because explanations were delivered expertly and with humour! You can tell from this that she really loves Munich like a local!! She has "infected" me with that love because NOW, I wish to come back to Munich for a more detailed tour. Her "surprise" blew my mind, and it was truly icing on an already delicious cake.

    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.

    The tour was awesome! Kenya, our guide through the streets of Kyoto, was extremely knowledgeable. He showed us temples, shrines, traditional homes etc., explaining the history of each site. He also managed to answer random questions we asked along the way! It is a small group so it was just 3 of us and Kenya. Highly recommend.

    Jimmy took us to two hawker markets where we tried lots of excellent dishes and to a desert place afterwards. Jimmy got in touch before our trip to ask what we liked and if there was anything we wanted to try so our tour was somewhat tailored to us. We ate some great Malay, Indian and Chinese food across the two centres and left pretty full! Jimmy was really knowledgeable about the various dishes we tried but also re life of ordinary people in singapore and the the history of the place. Can highly recommend this private tour.

    Jimmy is a very knowledgeable guide and taught us a lot about Singapore. He kept us in touch about our wishes and logistics. He guided us through several areas with the relevant history and informed us about economics, education politics, history, planning, health care, and developments in Singapore. We felt very fortunate to have him as our guide. The private tour enabled us to ask many questions and help us understa.nd so much about Singapore. He even took several photos of us on the tour and sent them tto us before we got back to our hotel. He made sure we got a taxi to return to our hotel. Definitely one of the best guides we have had. Thank you Jimmy.

    We did a private tour with Jimmy and he was excellent! Contacted us well in advance to discuss our preferences (which was no seafood-a tall order in Singapore) We had a variety of delicious foods at a large variety of establishments. Jimmy is incredibly well-informed on Singapore and his experience and intellect go well beyond food. Warning: Singapore is HOT and HUMID so wear cool clothes and drink lots of water! Highly recommend Jimmy-
