Mobile ticket
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.

Waste of time and money

1.00A 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!

5.00We 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.

4.00It 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.
Meh

4.00I 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.
Disappointed

3.00It’s a lot of time (6 hrs) on the bus and if you don’t get there super early and want to sit together..you have to take back seats which are 3/4 size of all other seats and very cramped and uncomfortable. It felt like a long plane trip. The staff were nice but what we saw was not spectacular enough to warrant the 6 plus hours of travel. Save your $$$ and enjoy something closer.
Great way to see a hidden gem in Belgium and explore Luxembourg city

4.00Expect a long day. As the drive to Luxembourg from Brussels is long, with a pit stop in Dinant which is nice. Not a lot to see in Dinant so the hour we got to explore the city was sufficient. The walking tour upon arrival at Luxembourg city was nice and allowed me to get acquainted with the city layout and learn about the history of the city. Love the tour guide as she was super nice and informative. Would have liked some more time in Luxembourg city but the 2.5 hours of free time we had did give me time to see and do cool stuff by myself. Expect to arrive back in the city for around 8pm if there is no traffic.
Worth it but a quick trip

4.00It was a good day but felt the walking tour of Luxembourg was rushed and the guide did not stop at the sites described long enough to appreciate them. We had time for a quick picture but not time to take anything in.
Excellent!

5.00This tour was wonderful. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I booked this tour last minute because a different company canceled my reservation so I didn’t know what to expect but it was great! It’s worth it!
Beautiful place and interesting history

5.00Paolo was an amazing guide. He effortlessly switched between Spanish and English to accommodate everyone. He provided so much information about the places we visited. He was very funny and provided great tips on what to do in our free time. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a long but great day.
Dream come true
