Hi there! Nice to meet you

Patrick

I am a professional and qualified tour guide and have made it my mission to show you places, hidden gems, sights and monuments of Bruges.

Because of my job, I had the opportunity to see many places in the world, especially in the United States and Southern Europe. Although this was fascinating and very inspiring to me, I slowly began to realize that my heart belongs to Bruges. During all those years I didn't see the beauty of my own city. The city in which I grew up : Bruges.

I decided to specialize myself in the history of my hometown. I bought literature, learned to know every museum inside out, spend hours with older people to discover secret topics not covered in any book and finally as a food lover I know almost every restaurant in town.

The tours I offer here will take you around Bruges introducing you to the many facets that Bruges has, including its most romantic bridges and lakes, the underground remains of an old cathedral, a clinic of 800 years, the oldest brewery, the Beguinage, and last but not least, discover with me our famous Belgian beer, chocolates and freshly baked warm waffles.

Curious now? Join me!

We met Patrick in the central square in Brugge on a very hot day. He told great stories about the city and introduced us to delicious food. My friends and I enjoyed learning about the city from a true local. If you are going to be in Brugge definitely choose Patrick as your guide. Great tour of Brugge

I had the best tour with Patrick yesterday. He was so kind and so knowledgeable, it was really great. Not only did I learn a lot but I also felt I was provided with lesser known tips and details about the city. Thank you, Patrick!Patrick is fantastic!

We hadden een privé tour met proeverijen. Bij aanvang stelde Patrick ons wat vragen, zodat hij precies kon leveren wat wij verwachtten. Hij heeft goede kennis en het was erg leuk de lokale ondernemers te ontmoeten.super en klantgericht!

We booked the food tour with Patrick for my 30th birthday celebration in Brugge. Patrick was accommodating to our request and was kindly able to fit 5 of us into a private tour at a relatively short notice. Our ages ranged from 18 years old to 87 years old, and we all enjoyed the conversation, the views of the city, and mainly, the FOOD! Patrick was a great conversationalist, and seemed genuinely interested in learning about our group. He took us to several local restaurants, a brewery, and some local shops for nibbles of Belgian chocolate, candies, and cheeses. We left the tour highly satisfied and full, grateful for a fun experience with a local from Brugge. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city! Patrick's Food Tour- Highly Memorable!
