I actually took the trip to Amsterdam not Luxemborg that I planned originally. The visit to the farm and the farmer was very intriguing before we entered Amsterdam. The driver and tour guide were also excellent in their duties. Myself and family enjoyed ourselves in the tour. Thank you.

A great way to see Luxembourg in a day! Perfect length of time in Dinant and Luxembourg to explore properly, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with ideas of things to do in each place. Would definitely recommend this tour

The tour was fantastic, the guide very knowledgeable, friendly, patient and always open to answer any question we had. A great way to get some first impressions on Luxembourg! Highly recommended.

I really liked the historical explanation by Pablo. He was very knowledgeable and he explained things calmly. In theory, an excellent tour.

Nice but no much guidance during the trip. It was mostly transportation and free time.
