Dinant/Luxembourg Day Trip - Trip took about 12 hours in it's entirety from start to finish. Over half of that time is time on the bus but you still have enough time to highlight the main attractions in both of these countries. I am not much for group tours but this one you can venture off and do your own thing if you prefer which we did because we feel you can cover more territory that way than following 60 plus in a group. Veronica was our tour guide and she spoke good English even with her heavy accent.

SCAM! Do Not Book This Tour!!! - This tour is a SCAM. Driver never showed up and when we attempted to contact the “company” they would not answer phone or texts. We were left scrambling as our planned day trip went awry. DO NOT book this tour unless you want your money taken and get nothing in exchange!!!
