- Both Dinant and Luxembourg are great cities to visit. - The guide know a lot of stuff about the history of these cities and about Belgium in general. - We had time to view most of Luxembourg (around 3 hours) but I would’ve wanted maybe half an hour more in Dinant (we had only 1 hour). One hour is enough to see the Dinant Citadel and take some pictures around the city, but you don’t have time to go to a nice bar. - The guide will give you a radio with headphones and these are not great in quality (mine broke down)

The beauty of Dinant and Luxembourg compensate for the long traveling time. Stephan our guide was very knowledgeable both in history and his good command of languages. The tour involves some walking and our guide set a manageable pace for all.

I loved being able to get to know Dinant as well as Luxembourg and by the hand of our guide Andrea, very well informed about the two places.

This was an expertly-led tour. Our tour guide, Andrea, spoke great English and Spanish while taking care of us every step of the way.

The guide Stephan was excellent he helped a lot to make the tour lovely
