Guide #22233
I'm a tour guide passionate about connecting travelers with Normandy's rich history. With over ten years of experience, I've honed my skills in storytelling and communication to create memorable experiences for everyone. I understand the struggle travelers face in finding tours that truly engage them. That's why I've sought out training from the National Association for Interpretation (USA), where I've learned innovative techniques like using all five senses and encouraging open dialogue. These methods allow me to offer immersive experiences that go beyond just sharing facts. With over 1500 tours under my belt, I know the ins and outs of guiding visitors through Normandy's history. I'm dedicated to tailoring each tour to your interests, ensuring you have a personalized and insightful journey. My approach to history is interactive and engaging, whether you prefer a leisurely walk or a longer adventure. I want to ensure you not only learn but also feel connected to the past, making the most of your time in Normandy. If you're looking for a friendly, easy-going guide who is passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Normandy, I would love to have the pleasure of welcoming you on my tour.

We had a simply wonderful day with Lena B~ it was the fulfillment of a life's dream for my 81-year old mother. Lena is incredibly knowledgeable, engages with you and learns about what you know already, building on that as she shares her expertise. She was very communicative and supportive as we formulated our tour, and-fortunately for us-was free and flexible the day...

Lena was a remarkable guide. Prompt in both communication and transportation. Incredibly knowledgeable about D-Day. She did a great job tying the history and geography together, making the invasion more real than simply reading about it. Lena is also humble and very amiable. The 8 hour tour, including the 3 necessary hours of driving, flew by. She even kept us...
