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.

    Lena was amazing! She knew so much about the history of the location and war. Her tour was organized so we could see pictures and maximize our time. We learned so much and appreciated every minute. If you want to learn a lot, pick Lena.

    Our guide , Lena, with 12-yrs existing in normandy, was above outstanding. She was prepared with charts, historical stories, and a complete knowledge of the social and economic conditions between WWI and WWII which led to the second war. She was totally proficient in the allied military maneuvers and decision- making process. You don't have to book the "exact" tour, ...

    Lena was so knowledgeable. She really made history come alive. She helped make the tour meaningful for us since we had family part of the D-day activities. I highly recommend her.
