I am Tour Guide
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.

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time exploring Brussels with Sean. He was energetic, intelligent, interesting, and delightful to spend the day with. He gave us information and insights we would’ve never known on our own. He brought Brussels to life for us and showed us nooks and crannies not normally discovered. We feel we have a new friend with our guide Sean. We highly recommend this tour.
