Often, we’re able to introduce guests to locals with shared surnames, nearby descendants, or even extended family members.
🧭 Sample Ancestral Tour Destinations

Explore the remote villages, wild landscapes, and traditional cottages of rural Donegal — ideal for families with ties to Killybegs, Glencolumbkille, Dungloe, or the Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) regions.
🔵 Northern Ireland Roots Discovery
Trace ancestors from counties like Derry/Londonderry, Antrim, Tyrone, or Fermanagh. Walk through ancient graveyards, church ruins, and family farms — many still standing in some form today.

Whether you’re Irish-American, Irish-Canadian, or a descendant of Ulster Scots, our tours help you rediscover your heritage with depth, dignity, and local insight. Many clients come from the U.S. and Canada with old family records, names of parishes, or even just surnames — and we help piece the puzzle together.

📸 What Past Guests Say
"This was more than a tour — it was a pilgrimage."
“My great-grandparents emigrated from Donegal. Our guide took us down an old lane to the ruins of their stone cottage. I never imagined I'd stand where they stood. It was emotional, personal, and unforgettable.”
– Susan M., Illinois, USA
