Which Vehicle Suits Your Group

The vehicle you need depends mainly on how many people and how much luggage are travelling.

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, small families and business trips.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 or 48 Seats: intended for tour groups, clubs, school trips, teams and company events heading to the Herbesthal area.

For a long ride of around 1 h 18 m, it is worth choosing a vehicle with some spare space rather than filling every seat.

About Herbesthal

Herbesthal is a small village in the municipality of Lontzen, in the province of Liège, close to the German border. It is known above all for its railway station, historically a border stop on the line between Brussels, Liège and Aachen. The location also puts you within easy reach of Eupen and the wider eastern part of Belgium, as well as the nearby German border region. Facilities in the village itself are limited, so it is wise to confirm your exact drop-off address with your accommodation or host before you travel.
