“I was a little hesitant booking the tour, based on some not so positive reviews. But I'm so glad I did. Our guide Blanca was excellent, and did a great job speaking in English and Spanish, as required by the mix of participants. There was plenty of time to explore on your own and Bruges was so beautiful and charming. Our driver did a great job as well. Overall it was a wonderful day trip and I highly recommend it if your time in Amsterdam allows.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,474 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $79

Review of the Luxembourg and Dinant day trip from Brussels, with coach comfort, sightseeing stops, costs, guide quality, and practical booking tips.

“A waste of time and little value for money. The stop in Dinant left us with nothing to do because the fort (or maybe the lift - it was not clear) was closed for repairs. Which the tour company didn't notify us of ahead of time. We had about an hour to waste there. The saxophone museum was open but was approx the size of my living room (maybe smaller) and took maybe 5 minutes to go through. We got to Luxemburg and were given an hour to waste before the walking tour started. Our tour guide had recommended we see the underground tunnels after the walking tour. The walking…”

“Everything was great! I understand the food and drink restrictions, but it would’ve been nice if they were a bit more flexible — only allowing water felt a bit much.

However, after that the trip has paid off as the information received by the guide was great and the place was one or the best I have ever been at . Bruges is fantastic”

But seems its too much 😕 got an opportunity to see the homemade cheese and handmade cloggs thas was awesome part to taste different kinds of cheese in the farm. Good opportunity to go Amsterdam from Brussels.”
