We had a lovely tour with Raphy around Lille, visiting such interesting and unique places. Definitely recommend this tour when you arrive at Lille to see everything but to also get great tips for restaurants, wine bars, patisseries and beer squares. The cathedral was an unexpected highlight and thoroughly enjoyed his stories at each location we visited. 10/10 experience!

Superb city with many attractions such as museums, beautiful buildings and the Citadel. But also beautiful shops and a modern district with TGV station and a huge shopping center. In December also a large Christmas market. And all that just three hours from Utrecht.

We were shown around the Old Town by a delightful lady called Patrica, her knowledge was really good and she shared some very interesting facts with us. She even emailed before our visit to ask if we had any particular interests and she made a point of focusing on these. Would thoroughly recommend this young lady to anyone interested in getting to know Old Lille Town.
