This was a day tour packed with activities. Special shout out to the guide at the Mullerthal, Patrick, who was super engaging and passionate in sharing about the area ! The audio guide was sufficient and the bus was on time. It’s a great way to explore the other parts of Luxembourg without driving.

An excellent day to discover a different face of Luxembourg. The nature and cascade were amazing spots, accompanied by a nice explanation of the guide. The castles were also amazing and the time was ok for a tour of the castle and even having lunch.
