3.00Although our guide was lovely, after touring Brussels, Brugge, Ghent, and Antwerp, Lille did not have the same historical interest or sites. Had we realized this in advance, we would not have gone there.
Exceptional guide, very informative, extra bits of information not expected

5.00My wife and & I with our daughter and her 3 month old son had a very interesting and enjoyable tour of the old city of Lille. Ann was an excellent guide and ensured that we went at a pace that was comfortable for us with the baby. She had made some delicious jams made to an old Lillois recipe for us to sample. Highly recommended.

2.00We had a new guide. Very sweet, appeared to be prepared. English was a challenge. This made the tour hard to enjoy. She did all she could to make it enjoyable but without good language skills, it did not work out.
Lovely tour filled with history and architecture
