Searching for your family heritage in the lands where your ancestors came from?
Kensington Tours launched Personal Heritage Journeys in partnership with Ancestry.com in 2021 as a way to provide the most personal, in-depth, and privately guided exploration of a traveler’s family roots built on DNA insights and professional genealogical research.
Each experience pairs one of Kensington's local Destination Experts with a genealogist from AncestryProGenealogists to uncover detailed family history and guide you and your family to the towns, regions, and historical sites directly connected to your ancestry. It may be the best multi-generational family trip ever.
By integrating the Ancestry genealogist's comprehensive analysis of each distinct family history, the Destination Expert designs a custom itinerary centered around the most significant sites and events from that history. The trip is designed with the traveler's objectives as the foremost consideration and is led exclusively by local private guides who are specialists in the area's history and culture. Moreover, for an enhanced and more insightful journey, an on-site Genealogist can also join the trip, providing a deeper understanding and a more meaningful and engaging experience.
WHERE CAN KENSINGTON TOURS' ANCESTRY TRAVEL TAKE US?
While each trip is customized, the itineraries Kensington Tours has developed have a general and cultural appeal, combined with more historical elements, and are tied together by a story of emigration. Any or all of these locales and experiences can be customized, as can the hotels, length of stay in each locale, and types of touring. You can add an on-site genealogist to any of the days and include any sites or locales that are relevant to anyone’s family story.
Kensington Tours has continued to expand the locations, with several thought-starter itineraries to places from Ireland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Japan, Ghana, and New York, but you can get us to help you curate a trip to just about anywhere.
