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
-
Overall experience was great. Great overview of a lot of things without focusing too much on only a few, which was just as I asked.

We enjoyed our walk to the European Quarter. Our guide Patrick was very attentive and knowledgeable. We have time to visit the Parlamentarium ( entrance was not included), then we stroll to the Leopold Park, Cinquentanaire Park, Luxemburgo place. Kudos to our guide! Recommend this tour.

Patrick was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. While the European Quarter was interesting as expected, the real surprise was the associated trip to the Atomium and refresher course on the Brussels Metro. An excellent experience and I highly recommend it!
