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.

Picturesque City to Stroll

The all day journey begins with a stop in Dinant. You have an hour of free time after a brief explanation to explore - visit Trombone museum and take pictures. Another picturesque city. Then another 2 hours to Luxembourg - you have around 3 hours there minus a one hour tour. Lunch is part of the two hours of free time. Charming walkable city to stroll down the streets. The guide was extremely informative and told a lot. She explained in detail in both English and Spanish - This added to the walk by extending because of both languages, but was not a problem. While informative, the guide was robotic - lacked emotion. I enjoyed the information, but the personality was just not there. We returned to Brussels in the evening around 730. One small note, be on time - the bus left exactly as the clocked turned. In DInat, she left someone who we never saw again.

Bus was very crowded and tour that was to be in English was actually in Spanish and English and made explanations confusing. The long bus ride left time to see Luxembourg City or Luxembourg very well.
Must do

A 5-star excursion the guide Stéphan was just superb, knowledge worthy of a historian, pleasant, helpful and shares all the good tips to do/know/where to take the best photos. I recommend 100%. I was skeptical about vsisiting Luxembourg in one day but the truth was amazed. Dinant has a unique charm too. Thank you Stephan

The experience was very pleasant. The first village Dinant is small but beautiful, the time you spend there is short, so if you decide to go to the citadel, do not waste a minute because the funicular does not work and the steps are more than 400. It's hard, if you think you won't be able to climb all the way fast, you better use that time to visit other places in the city. Luxembourg is very beautiful, it is very worthwhile. We chose a place to eat but the service was very slow which made us waste a lot of time, I recommend taking bites from the kiosks on the street and continuing to walk to see the most. Our guide Veronica was excellent. She gave us a lot of information, and she was very nice and professional. The driver was very skilled at driving the bus, we felt safe at all times. Day Trip 100% recommended .
Long bus rides but Cute day trip!

Our guide was very informative and gave us the history of different locations. We went during Christmas and were able to catch the Christmas market in Luxembourg! It was just the right amount of time to explore the city.
Waste of time and money

A waste of time and little value for money. The stop in Dinant left us with nothing to do because the fort (or maybe the lift - it was not clear) was closed for repairs. Which the tour company didn't notify us of ahead of time. We had about an hour to waste there. The saxophone museum was open but was approx the size of my living room (maybe smaller) and took maybe 5 minutes to go through. We got to Luxemburg and were given an hour to waste before the walking tour started. Our tour guide had recommended we see the underground tunnels after the walking tour. The walking tour was terrible. We went by a museum of archeology and the palace with no option to go in with the guide or on our own. The guide pointed a few things out but didn't seem to have any interesting stories. A few times he said that he could explain the history but it was too complicated. When the walking tour was done, we went to get to tickets for the tunnels and they were closed for the day. We did two day trips with this company in Belgium and both were terrible. They left us with the perception that there is nothing interesting Belgium or Luxembourg have to offer - which I am sure is not the case. Was a total waste of money - but more importantly this is time we will never get back. My son and I travel frequently and use many Viator tours which are normally very good.
Loved the trip to two serene spots!

We took the trip today and our tour guide was Veronica. She was really lovely and very knowledgeable. The bus ride was very comfortable to both stops and we got plenty of free time to walk around, see the historic sites, and do some shopping. We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend.

It was great but the bus was uncomfortable and there was not s lot of leg room. the seats did not sit high so my back and neck were killing me by the end of the day. The tour guide and driver were great. Felt very rushed in dinant.

I wish the tour guide would've given info about Dinant and Luxembourg while on the bus since the time spent in each city was not that long. The stop in Dinant was so short that I would've liked the info in advance and then just walked around the town on my own. The tour left maybe 20 minutes of free time, which wasn't really long enough to sit in a cafe and order some drinks/food. When we got to Luxembourg, we didn't bother with the tour and opted to walk around the city on our own since we only had a total of three hours in the city. Or it would've been better if there were separate guides for separate languages. The tours would've been faster if the guide didn't have to do to them in two languages.
