Great and efficient tour - Great and efficient way to visit Luxembourg and Dinant. The bus was comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history. Wish we had more time in Dinant, but I also understand the time constraints.

History can be a lot of fun - The sights were amazing but what made them come alive was Bruno our guide. He was not only knowledgeable about everything we saw but he was personable making history come alive right before our eyes. Brilliant!

Terrific Intro to Luxembourg and the Ardennes - Very pleasant ride with Pascal, a friendly, excellent driver. David, our guide, was knowledgeable, approachable, and all in all the perfect guide. We were given a nice intro to both Luxembourg and lovely Dinant. The information given to us and the time allotted for our individual exploration was perfect. Great tour!

mixed review - Seeing Luxembourg was a bucket list item. Guide was great. They changed the pick-up point 24hrs before, so read you emails. Bus air-conditioning only works in the front, slowly. They do not tell you upfront that it will be a bilingual tour: the people of the other language will talk loudly when the guide does not speak in their language.

Tuff start great finish. - The beginning started a bit tuff. Meeting place had changed without notification. Finding the new location was not easy, but we made it. The tour was excellent as well as the people involved. I would highly recommend the trip.

Good tour - Good tour, our guide Jan was very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all questions raised by the group! Unfortunately, the cable car to the citadelle in Dinant was closed which wasn’t known by our guide prior to our arrival so we either had to climb up the stairs or stay in the town. Money was refunded to those who stayed down which was good. Jan’s walking tour of Luxembourg was excellent and very informative
