We had a fantastic tour guide in Urashi. She was very knowledgable of the area and its history. She was fun, engaging and spent so much time with us. We saw so many parts of the city and came away with further places of interest to visit the next day.
A huge thank you to Urashi for spending so much time explaining the history and helping our son use his spoken French.
Would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting Lille.

Our guide Urashi was attentive, informative, interesting and friendly. She took us to many places of interest and gave us their histories and also the area. She also took us to some lesser known places which we really appreciated. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city and we learned a lot from her. We would certainly recommend this guide and this walk to others.
