The Luxembourg City Tourist Office (LCTO) today organised its 7,000th guided tour group for the year 2019.

The visit was organised by the "Guided Tours" service of the LCTO, which celebrated the milestone with a friendly drink in Luxembourg City Town Hall, in the presence of Serge Wilmes, first Alderman of the City of Luxembourg, and Tanja Bollendorf, LCTO Head of Sales & Operations.

The tour group was composed of 50 secondary school students from the Lycée Technologique Professionnel Jean Rose, located in the city of Meaux in Seine-et-Marne, France. The first-grade students specialise in sales, management and administration. This marked the fifth time that the school participated in a guided tour organised by the LCTO. 

The LCTO has recalled that it offers 30 customisable and themed guided tours and manages a network of 170 official guides offering information in more than 25 different languages. Each year, the LCTO takes some 7,000 groups on such tours.

In addition, the LCTO organises regular guided tours, such as the "City Promenade", a two-hour walking tour through the capital (English tours everyday at 14:00), and the "Circuit Wenzel", a tour through time and space linking the upper and lower town (English tours every Saturday at 14:30). These tours leave from the LCTO in Place Guillaume II, from where tickets can also be purchased.
