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.

Booking difficult but nice visit

The booking was a bit chaotic. We had asked for 11:00, we were begged to accept 13:00, which was a bit embarrassing but we accepted, only to learn the same morning that 11:00 was held, which forced us to run (we were 1 hour away). La Guide was a little hesitant (she apologized all the time, which ends up giving the impression that she did not master her subject, obviously...), but the visit was very nice.
Pleasurable and informative

The guide did not attend the appointment and we were not notified in advance. The tour has been rescheduled with a guide very well but I have no answer to my request for a commercial gesture
Great tour - first class guide!

Jerin is an excellent guide and she made our walking tour all the more interesting for her own interest in history, art and architecture. We highly recommend this tour as a great start to anyone's time in Lille. Keep your fingers crossed that Jerin is your guide!!
