Hallo! My name is Sonja Irani and I am a Bremen-based tour guide. As such, I specialize in ancestry-inspired and emigration-themed guided group tours in northern Germany.

In addition, I hold a Master’s degree in “Tourism Destination Development” from Dalarna University, Sweden. My Master thesis was about “the most memorable travel experiences of North American ancestral travelers to Germany”.

So when are you going on your next family heritage trip? Let’s plan it together with our upcoming online course or by booking one of our ancestry-inspired travel tours.
