It’s advertised as 2 hours and that’s all you get even if you haven’t covered all of the itinerary despite the guide being slow to move from place to place. Disappointing
Excellent Way to See Lille

Raphy was an excellent tour guide. Lille has a fascinating history (which I knew nothing about prior to the tour). I enjoyed the thoroughness of Raphy’s information but also the way in which he told the history. The tour flew by as I was entertained with details that made each stop interesting. I highly recommend this walking tour as a way to see the breadth Lille has to offer.
Walking around Lille is great.
