What people are saying about Luxembourg

Overall rating

4.3 / 5

based on 485 reviews

- Both Dinant and Luxembourg are great cities to visit. - The guide know a lot of stuff about the history of these cities and about Belgium in general. - We had time to view most of Luxembourg (around 3 hours) but I would’ve wanted maybe half an hour more in Dinant (we had only 1 hour). One hour is enough to see the Dinant Citadel and take some pictures around the city, but you don’t have time to go to a nice bar. - The guide will give you a radio with headphones and these are not great in quality (mine broke down)

The beauty of Dinant and Luxembourg compensate for the long traveling time. Stephan our guide was very knowledgeable both in history and his good command of languages. The tour involves some walking and our guide set a manageable pace for all.

Great experience Easy to ride around the city on the e bike . The guide couldn’t be better We explored place that couldn’t be seen on a walking tour We recommend it 100%

This was an expertly-led tour. Our tour guide, Andrea, spoke great English and Spanish while taking care of us every step of the way.

The guide Stephan was excellent he helped a lot to make the tour lovely
