Lovely and leisurely introduction to Lille

Cassandra_M, Apr 2026
This was a wonderful introduction to Lille. We really enjoyed walking around the city with Jerinë, who designed the tour to focus on the history and architecture of Lille (as we requested). We learned a lot about the buildings, renovations or reconstruction of various structures, including the opera house, the stock exchange, churches and more. We also learned about several statues around the city. She also made several recommendations for activities and food. We scheduled a 2 hour tour and were able to go at our own pace. We should have scheduled a longer tour. We would do this again. Thank you, Jerinë for this delightful experience.

Lille, France walking tour

A guided tour of Lille is a MUST in order to more fully appreciate the city’s architecture, history, and culinary traditions. Our first day was spent on our own wondering around this beautiful city. Day two, we had a guided tour and I was remarkable how much we missed on our own. Definitely recommend a guided walking tour and our guide, Raphy, was excellent!

An Enjoyable Morning Tour

We had an enjoyable time touring the old town of Lille with Anne. She took us all around and was genuinely interested in making sure our needs and wants were met. We would recommend this tour.

We did the 3 hour walking...

We did the 3 hour walking tour and there was a lot of ground covered. Our guide was very informative and friendly. We felt that we got to see a lot of the city’s architecture and learnt a lot of Lille’s history

Great start to our stay

Enjoyable walk to introduce us to Lille. Our guide showed us some of the history and culture of the town, enriching our stay.

History expert, very complete tour, delightful guide Jerine

Robert_C, Apr 2025
Jerine is an excellent guide, she took us all over to many historical sites and certainly loves French history, and Lille. She easily filled three hours with a wonderful tour. Lovely woman - a delight.

Terrific Time Spent

We had a wonderful 3 hour tour with Emilie. She was informative out our different stops and candid about French culture and life both then and now.

Great Tour

Alex_v, Apr 2024
Excellent tour guide for a very insightful walking tour. Highly recommend it to see Lille highlights -

Not that great

elaine_m, Feb 2024
Our guide was very pleasant. Unfortunately, however, the guide had to rely on reading summaries of the various sites. We could have printed those off and read the material ourselves.

A great split between war and non war history and stories of life in Lille with Gregory

Jon_M, Sep 2023
We lucked out with our guide Gregory who has the most amazing knowledge of the history of Lille and it’s trials and tribulations through the epochs and eras! A great split between war and non war history combined with visits to some museums and various sites of interest, the 3 hours just flew by with Gregory. Thanks again and already thinking about our next trip to Lille!
