Nice tour which I found very informative. Great way to see the old town and familiarise yourself with the city.
Our guide did a great job giving us a feel for the culture while we visited various sites during the tour. We really appreciated her willingness to respond to any question we threw at her, and she did everything with a big smile. She even introduced us to Lea Leinster, a celebrity chef in Luxembourg who has earned Michelin recognition. All in all, the tour exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend.
It is a comprehensive tour around one area of Luxembourg City. The guide is super detailed and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed it, especially the stop at the end of the tour at a bakery that specialized in Madeleines.
This was a very good introduction to Luxembourg. It involved quite a bit of walking during a very warm afternoon, but our guide made every effort to keep us in shade, where possible. And we were introduced to the best madeleines ever, and to the delightful chef who makes them!
It was a Good Experience / Activity for a short stay in the city . Highly Recommended for first time visitors
Good explanation and guidance of the kids. Only tasters was poor, 1 piece of cake of local craft.
Jane was phenomenal! She shared such interesting info with well-planned photos to illustrate 1000 years of Luxembourg history. She was so intelligent and could answer all of our many questions. She went above and beyond to ensure we saw every important site. Thank you, Jan
Anders gave a very nice tour. He was knowledgeable and kept the groups interest. The price was very reasonable and I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxembourg.
Book this trip! We truly enjoyed walking all over enjoying the sights and learning about Luxembourg. We even did a quick stop and met the owner and maker of the BEST Madeline’s in town. Highly recommend this tour!
This is one of the best walking tours that we've ever done, Jenya was fantastic, enthusiastic and clearly had a lovely for Luxembourg that she was so keen to share. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who's in the city, be it for a day, a weekend, or even longer!
