Experience Highlights

One of our most popular tours: Luxemburg is certainly a modern and vibrant city with a rich history and impressive ancient and contemporary architecture. In the old part of Luxembourg, our guide will take you to the cathedral, the Palace of the Grand Duke and the Place d’Armes. In downtown Luxembourg you will enjoy a spectacular view of the Kirchberg district, home to several European institutions. In the valley, you will be able to see a trail of the Casemates, the abbey of Neumünster, the city walls and the picturesque sites along the river Alzette. After some free time in the city, you will explore the quaint town of Dinant, with its fifteenth century collegial church and its impressive citadel. Dinant’s name originates from the Celtic “Divo Nanto”, which means “Sacred Valley”. This little town is dramatically perched on the narrow banks of the River MeuseI. This is the cradle of the Leffe beer and the birth place of Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone.

    Bruno was a fantastic guide and was very knowledgeable. I was impressed that he gave the tour in English and Spanish. The bus was extremely clean and comfortable. The driver was excellent. Dinant was nice but you don’t really need that much time there. Luxembourg was outstanding. I loved that Bruno shared some really interesting facts about the city. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. We were also lucky to partake in the Christmas markets there. I would highly recommend this company.
