It is an excursion that facilitates transport to two difficult access locations in the same day. In addition, the information provided by the guide in Luxembourg was void, preventing the use of places to visit in this town. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take advantage of everything the city has to offer in 3 hours.
Excellent excursion... guide Arian and driver Victor a wonderful. Explanation of the whole route from Brussels, Diamat and Luxembourg with very good story. Very historic. Super recommended.
The little you pay is equal to the little you get. The passages are pretty exhausting. The explanations of the guide were extremely quick. Staff unfriendly.
It was very nice and we learned a lot, the guide Edu was great, the trip was pleasant and became very nice, a very nice group
We have made the tour to Luxembourg and Dinant with Eduardo, from Buendía Tour. We really have no complaints. We have had a great time, Eduardo has told us the history of both cities, with many details, and also some information from Brussels. A genius! Always offering to answer questions and queries. Because of the professionalism of the guides and the driver of the microphone, and fortunately we have a respectful group, we were able to do everything in time. We left with the joy of having made a beautiful tour. Thank you.
The tour was in Luxembourg and Dinant. At 3 pm today was the meeting point to return to the bus and leave for Dinant. When they left us the free time, we told the Davinia guide to confirm the name of the spot so we left it marked on Google Maps, supposedly it was "Bank of Brussels". Ok, we went to lunch and already at 3 pm we were at that meeting point according to what we had confirmed earlier and plot twist was not the same building from where we had initially left. We called her on the phone advising her of the disconcerting situation and she very calmly told us that she had changed the meeting point because the bus had not been able to park in the same initial place, and that we took the tram and went to the central train station. Which clearly doesn't take "10 minutes of courtesy" for that whole new tour, which is what they tell you to expect. We were 5 blocks or more from the tram and had to find which bus or tram left us there. We took the tram that took about ten minutes to arrive, and when we were upstairs 8 minutes from the station (we had to get off and walk 2 blocks and a half in a 32 degree sun) it notifies us that they had already left with the bus because they could not wait any longer (they were only 20 minutes late in total) Which seems to me (and the other passenger in the same situation) crazy Total! He wouldn't answer our phone, he wouldn't answer whatsapp messages. Madness to leave us like this when the situation was unexpected, poor explanation of the information, lack of professionalism and resolution. If you organize a tour you have to have a list with the data of all passengers and if the meeting point changes at least you have to warn them! You are in another country, you don’t know the place, at least they must offer you the clear information. I'm trying to be the politeest thing to say because I'm so angry!! We had to take a train to Brussels alone which cost us 38€ each ticket as we did not answer the phone. We asked him if we could go to Dinant and if he could meet us there at least to get back together on the BuenDíaTours bus and he didn't even hear the audios we sent them. A total lack of respect and professionalism on her part. I still can't believe this situation!! Nearly 4 hours of train to return to Brussels, money lost paying for a train ticket, loss of excursion to Dinant. I demand that at least half of the tour money or train ticket be refunded. See if it happens to you with your family and kids? It's crazy. This in my country would not happen. We are empathetic people always ready to help and solve. You hire a service and they're supposed to be looking after your safety too. But that's why I took the train alone, which was cheaper. What if the other passenger broke down from the heat and didn't arrive at the "exact" meeting point? They leave her stranded there? Apparently yes, they don't care. So be careful when choosing who to tour with. Very unserious.
What a wonderful day! Luxembourg impresses with its living standards with breathtaking elevation gain. Dinant, a river and land crossroads of brass, from the top of the Citadel all makes sense. Our guide Yann and our driver Mohammed made for a memorable day.
Dinant surprised me. I would spend a whole day in the city. As I liked the place, I wish I had more time there. But that's for next time. Both places in one day, it was practical. It is worth it.
Second tour on this trip we took with this company. This time our guide was Eris (I think that's how its spelled). He was a riot. He went around having everyone introduce themselves and where we were from. Made the trip that much more enjoyable. I always enjoy the guided tours when the guides are engaging and non-robotic. The more personality they have and show usually means the better overall tour experience. We were not disappointed. Highly recommend this company. (3rd tour with them reviewed also)
