Overall rating

I had a fantastic time on the tour from Brussels to Luxembourg and Dinant. Our tour guide Stefan made the tour a special experience with his knowledge and enthusiasm. He patiently answered all of our questions and told us a lot about the history and culture of the places we visited. Also a big thank you to our bus driver Phillip for the safe and pleasant journey. Highly recommended!

The truth is that to see everything in one day, the main points are enough. One thing is that the trip is long since it is many hours. The guide, David, is a 10, very attentive to everything.

Stefan was incredible. So funny and engaging! The bus had ample space and was comfy! Luxembourg was beyond incredible and blew my expectations out of the water! Highly recommend

I loved the trip, everything went as planned and with an excellent guide. Amazing and unmissable.

Great value for money. Dinant is 1000 times more beautiful than Luxembourg.
