Viator Traveler's Reviews
This tour is amazing and absolutely worth the expense. We did it on April 31, 2017. All the flowers were in bloom, especially in the square. Jean/Sean was wonderful and exceptionally accommodating. Five Stars. He was punctual and an excellent careful driver in his luxurious and comfortable Mercedes Van. Luxembourg is fantastic and should not be missed. Jean is knowledgable and will share and fill in what you do not already know. Bastogne is pure history and should be seen along with the 3rd Army cemetery and includes Patton's grave and a memorial. Do not miss this tour! Amazing! Highly recommended -- My wife is still in Europe with the pictures, so must send only these that includes some from The Netherlands.
Our guide arrived on time with a comfortable van for our group of 5. He was knowledgeable about Belgium and Luxembourg and was able to answer almost all our questions. He was able to show us the highlights of Luxembourg City and Bastogne on the way back. He offered us different possibilities of how to spend out time. Our only complaint if it can even be called that, is that we did not really like where he suggested we have lunch in Luxembourg City - there were a lot of choices and the one he suggested was just a little ordinary.
Originally we had planned to self tour the Normandie beachfront. Glad we did'nt. Our tour guide Jean Francois was a local who lived on the coast. He knew every back farm road along the Normandy Beach front. Made the most of our time, arranged for lunch and was very knowledgeable. Excellent.
