If you are planning a trip to a completely unfamiliar ancestral homeland where you don’t speak the language, taking an organized genealogy tour may be the best way to get the most out of your genealogy vacation.
We will familiarize ourselves with your ancestral town or village before your visit and make arrangements for genealogy research, cemetery visits and any other family history travel you may wish to experience. In the past we have helped travelers especially from the USA finding their living relatives in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, we cannot guarantee a successful result.
Option A
We will bring you to the town of your ancestors and help you search in local archives, visit a local cemetery, translate for you, speak with the locals, and most importantly help you find your ancestors.
Option B
The same as option A + we will visit the town of your ancestors, make a research, try to find your ancestors and arrange a meeting with them PRIOR your arrival so that when you come we will not waste time looking in wrong places when you have only one day.
If you have more time you can also visit the Czech UNESCO sites and other places worth seeing while searching for your ancestors in the Czech Republic.
Send us your requirements and we will tailor a fully customized itinerary for your group.

| References | We chose Private Prague Guide Day Tours for an august 22 & 23, 2012, visit to Prague and the experience was marvelous! Awesome! We first hired the service to research ancestral archives, and then we were taken to see the homes where my great grandparents lived in the mid 1800's! Our guides translated wonderful conversations with local villagers, assisted us in choosing local cuisine, and drove us through the bohemian countryside where our great grandparents were born and lived before they immigrated to usa. It was an amazing two days, if anyone is interested in finding their roots in the Prague area, we highly recommend them! | |||
