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 feel very fortunate we found this website and chose Patrick for our Bruges tour. Bruges needs to be seem in this manner, through a local person. Patrick's enthusiasm and knowledge was extremely engaging and interesting. We feel our experience had many special nuances because you are a resident. It has been the best part of our vacation. Thank you, PatrickThe Best Part of Our Vacation

We did not know what to expect with a food tour, and we were thoroughly delighted with our day with Patrick. Open to anything, we let Patrick control the itinerary. He was extremely organized as he walked us through town, sharing city history as we walked between food tastings. Patrick has great passion for history, and he was so engaging throughout our tour. Everything we consumed was delicious, and we apprecaiated it even more for the background, history and relevance Patrick provided. Highly recommend the experience, and even more highly recommend Patrick as your guide. We are already exploring a return trip to Bruges, and we will certainly take another tour with Patrick if at all possible. Wow! Fabulous 3 hours with Patrick!

It was great to finally meet Patrick in person after having met him virtually on a walking tour of Bruges during the pandemic! Patrick was responsive to questions from the start and helped us land on this amazing tasting tour that was truly enjoyable (and filling)! We walked and drank + ate our way through the city, all the stops delicious and informative. Patrick is just as warm and kind in person as he was on screen. I love his laugh (and you will, too)! Thanks so much for a fun and yummy day out in Bruges!Super fun (and yummy) tour with Patrick!

Ik heb zo hard genoten van de toer.. het was leerrijk en super tof. Heel leuk dat er nog mensen zijn die de kennis en geschiedenis meedragen en doorgeven. Als je terug in de tijd gecapulteert wil worden en je wilt je laten onderdompelen in de havenstad waar hard werd gewerkt en handel gedreven. Ben je bij patrick aan het juiste adres! Dank u wel het was echt aangenaam en zijn geld waard. Heerlijk en leerrijk

We had an amazing tour with Patrick! He is very knowledgeable, warm, engaging, great with our kids (ages 8, 10, 14 and 16) and obviously loves his beautiful city. I feel like we definitely saw the highlights and some hidden gems and learned a lot of history. He had great recommendations/suggestions as well. I highly recommend booking with Patrick- you will not be disappointed! Wonderful!
