Train Guided Tour - A good option for those who want to know Luxembourg without walking much. The audio-guide is available in several languages and tells an interactive story about the city.

Great trip - Enjoyable trip, fascinating facts. Sadly only 1 of my ear pieces worked. Otherwise the trip was great. Learned lots about Luxembourg.

Nice way to get an impression of the city. - It was a rainy day so we decided to explore the city covered. We bought tickets online, so we knew exactly what time to arrive. The ride is beautiful and the information in Dutch to follow. However, the voice indicated that we could get off and continue a train later but that was not possible because the train did not stop. Understandable because the next one was probably fully booked as well. Highly recommended! It does bump and I also find it less suitable for very small children.

Would recommend - Great way to see the old parts of Luxembourg if you only have a day in the city! Especially on a really hot day when walking is out of the question.

A Perfect Rainy Day Intro to Luxembourg. - The overview of the city was a great start to our very short stay in this fascinating city. It was raining as we arrived, so this looked like a perfect way to stay dry yet get an overview of Luxembourg; this turned out to be correct. The fact that it dropped us off at the entrance to the Bock Casemates was an added bonus; most of the serf-guided tour there was likewise sheltered from the rain. In fairness to those booking this trip, it should be noted that the narration provided (in many languages) is (at least the English version) aimed at young children. It gives good context, but we noticed other travelers chuckling as we did at the character voices & music track. No regrets, however; we were happy for the dry intro to the city.

DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS! - Overall - it was OK, definitely could've skipped. Go only if you're bored and want to sit down for 35mins. Note: Google maps took us to about 5 minutes away waaay down the hill. Search for the name instead, don't use the address.
