Fantastic tour guide
Sherpa21230105647, Apr 2025
We really enjoyed our walking tour last weekend . It was lovely to meet with Jerine and we spent a really interesting couple of hours with her . She was really informative about the history of Lille and the sites we saw but was also happy to answer our questions about more wide ranging issues e.g the education system in France and other things . She also gave us some good recommendations for other places to see over the weekend . Would definitely recommend the tour for anyone who has never been to Lille before and would suggest doing it early in your trip as it helped to orientate us and plan the rest of our weekend
Fantastic tour

My wife and I had a fantastic walking tour of Lille with Jerin. She gave us the history of the town, showed us many beautiful buildings and even took us inside the Chamber of Commerce which is the old stock exchange. Even though we were in Lille for only one day, we feel like we got to know the city and the culture. Lille is only one hour from Paris by train. We can't wait to return.
Awesome tour of Lille!

We had a fantastic tour guide in Urashi. She was very knowledgable of the area and its history. She was fun, engaging and spent so much time with us. We saw so many parts of the city and came away with further places of interest to visit the next day. A huge thank you to Urashi for spending so much time explaining the history and helping our son use his spoken French. Would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting Lille.
