We were lucky that everyone on the bus agreed to one language (which was Spanish) and it was perfect. Luxembourg is not even the highlight of the trip, Dinant was. I recommend this trip. It’s a long one but our tour guide make it work. We were even given some free time on your own to explore. It was about an hour but enough. I’m so glad I took his trip. Got to go to two countries in one day. The bus was comfortable with air conditioning.

Bruno was good, giving lots of information in a variety of languages. Pace was good, could have used more time in Dinant. BUT the company’s decision to make a bus load of clients who had been on time and were heading out of the city pull over to wait for a taxi to deliver the LATE PASSENGER(S) to the bus was totally unacceptable. Victor will not be on my recommend list.

Dinant was the highlight. Was a beautiful town by Meuse. Really enjoyed it. Would like to re-visit in the future.

First stop in Dinant reveals the beauty of History , visit the church appearing in the profile (historical) , continue the guided walk exploring attractions and watching the official guards walking guarding the palace , then heading to Luxembourg where the past meets the modern life and lovely nature surrounding central bus stop . We walked a lot with our guide even old ladies and men did ,it was lovely but I recommend travelers to have a level of fitness to walk a lot specially elevated street walk because an elevator was out of order and we have to go up all the way , but we helped some couples as they are old also our guide did . Luxembourg probably is a center of business its very obvious moreover for us was another city to explore , it was great

Andrea, our tour guide, and Frank, our driver were wonderful. Andrea balanced her time with English and Spanish translations throughout. Thank you for trying to provide a great tour! Unfortunately our day was COMPLETELY ruined by other guests. We were surrounded on the bus by families with young children. One child (~2 yrs old) cried and screamed much of the time. The family also allowed her to walk and stand in the aisle which inevitably ended with the child in my husband’s lap. (Presumably because it is not appropriate to expect a child so young to sit on a bus for that long!) Another family had children who argued and whined disrespectfully loud enough to disrupt us and other guests around them. Both made it difficult at times to hear Andrea’s guided description. Unfortunately, the bus was packed full so we were unable to relocate so as to enjoy our day. Perhaps an alternative “family tour” would be a possible solution. It’s simply too long a ride for children. It is not fair for guests who have also paid for a tour to feel as though it was a waste of money due to families with small children. We left very disappointed.

This was totally worth the price and the time!!! Luxembourg is beautiful, but Dinant even more!!! My jaw literally dropped as soon as I saw the magnificent view!!! Absolutely recommended.

Three languages meant a bit of delay at each stop, but the guide (Johann?) did an excellent job with that.

The tour was good, but doesn't provide enough time to see sites or have lunch in Luxembourg. Total time spent on the bus is 5H , but very little time to actually enjoy the city.

A few days in Brussels and one starts to long for a place which has no crowds and the hustle and bustle of city life. Luxembourg was that place for me, where i was transported to a city with fewer inhabitants (many tourists though that one can't escape), a more leisurely lifestyle without hopping on and off trams and metros and with quintessential street side cafes which signify the European way of life. The Luxembourg Day Trip from Brussels, operated by Brussels City Tours was comfortable, value for money and informative. Our tour guide Andrea did a great job of marshaling the troops, explaining the significance of the places and the long history behind them. The stopover at Dinant while on the way back to Brussels was the highlight of the tour, with an hour to explore the city and enjoy a coffee in one of the numerous river side cafes that dot the place. Overall, a good experience although it felt a bit rushed. That is more because the distance from Brussels to Luxembourg takes a good 3 hours to cover.

This trip was primarily a long bus ride. We were on our own more than with the guide. Didn't see anything particularly exciting in Luxembourg, but Dinant was pretty and we could have used more time there. The guide failed to extend herself in any way , and I think her heritage included a jackrabbit as it was very hard to keep up with her.

We enjoyed the trip very much. Beautiful place and the tour guy was really knowledgeable and did an awesome job. Free time was great. Wish the tour walk was at s bit slower pace. He just wanted us to see a lot.

Despite booking an English speaking tour, our guide, Bruno,was prone to starting sentences in English and finishing them in French ..making commentary on the bus confusing at least and unintelligible at worst. Despite telling us he walks slowly so everyone could hear, most of our walking tour was more Marcel Marceau, with pointing fingers in many directions for the first few people, and no hope of the other 30 passengers being able to hear as we were forced to walk indian file on narrow footpaths, through construction areas and dodging traffic and bikes. The scenery was magnificent, from rolling green pastures to ancient fortresses and sparkling river scenes. Dinart's saxaphones were fabulous and the tunnel to the valley in Luxembourg was a marvellous respite from the 39 degree heat. Overall, 6 hours of travelling and cost did not meet our expectstions at all.

Had a very enjoyable day trip to Luxembourg and Dinant. The visit to Dinant is worth it by itself. Bruno is a very dynamic guide who also gave us a crash course in Trappist beers.

Highly recommend the day trip to Luxembourg with a stop in Dinant, Belgium. An excellent and easy way to explore nearby Luxembourg out of Belgium. Was surprised by the beauty of Dinant and could have stayed there longer. I would recommend to anyone visiting the Brussels area.
