ANNOUNCING MY 2024 LUXEMBOURG TOUR! Cultural Treasures of Luxembourg & Luxembourg National Day - June 19-29, 2024

I am proud to announce my next tour to Luxembourg - CULTURAL TREASURES OF LUXEMBOURG & LUXEMBOURG NATIONAL DAY 2024! I love this tour so much because celebrating Luxembourg's National Day (Luxembourg's Independence Day and Grand Duke Henri's birthday) is a once-in-a-life-time experience! My Luxembourg Adventures with Kevin Wester tour will provide you with many unique and personalized experiences that an individual traveler would simply not get on their own! I pride myself on being Luxembourg's most experienced tour guide for Luxembourg American visitors!

I am also thrilled that my dear friend, Rene Daubenfeld, will be assisting me once again with my upcoming tour and accompanying us throughout the tour! Many of you know Rene because he has brought numerous tour groups from Luxembourg to visit the Luxembourg American communities in the Midwest. Rene does sort of the "opposite" of what I do! Rene is one of the most noted authorities on Luxembourg immigration to the United States and Luxembourg genealogy, so he will add so much to our tour! Plus, it is wonderful to have a "real" Luxembourger accompanying us to share his insights and experiences.

I know this tour will fill up quickly, so I encourage you to register today to reserve your place on this special tour! We are going to have a blast!

1. Participation in the TORCHLIT PROCESSION on the Eve of National Day and presentation of group to Grand Duke Henri and the Royal Family;
