Your Ancestral Hometown Visit, Perfectly Prepared Just For You!
Would you like to travel to your ancestral German hometown to learn more about your German ancestors?
But do you struggle with finding the time to plan your trip? Or are you unsure about how to find the right accommodation, attractions and people that can help you to find out more about your German ancestors?
If you would rather spend one focused hour with an expert than weeks of second-guessing and searching online, the “Done-For-You Premium Ancestral Germany Hometown Package” with me (Sonja Irani, main tour guide and travel consultant at My Ancestor’s Journey) is perfect for you!
This is not the usual “one size fits all” generic trip planning.

Save yourself countless hours of research and the fear of missing something important – and move forward with the quiet confidence that your homecoming to your German hometown will be meaningful, memorable, and filled with great experiences to learn more about your ancestors’ lives.
This is a comprehensive, highly personal consultation package. Therefore, it is intentionally limited and offered only to a small number of clients each year.

How It Works:
Step 1:
Private Consultation Call
You book your consultation call via WeTravel and complete a short questionnaire, so our call is focused and efficient.
In our 1 hour video call (or longer if needed), you can ask me (Sonja) any questions you may have about planning your ancestry-inspired trip to Germany, especially to your ancestral German hometown(s).
Step 2:
Customized Itinerary
After our call, I take care of the research, planning, and structure behind the scenes. I will research the options that best fit your travel style, interests, time, budget etc. I will then send you a customized itinerary for your ancestry trip.
Step 3:
Final Booking
After you have received your customized itinerary, you can calmly decide how you want to proceed with your trip (book everything yourself or book the whole trip through us).
You can ask any remaining questions and/or make adjustments to the itinerary. If you are happy, you can book your package with one click.
Done! After these three steps, you can sit back, relax and look forward to walking in your ancestors footsteps in Germany!
Count me in!Important Requirements
Please note: To ensure the highest quality experience, this consultation is available only if you fulfill these two requirements before you can click on “Book Now”:
1. Requirement: You have already decided to travel to Germany within the next 12–18 months.
2. Requirement: You need to have done some prior ancestry research. You should have confirmed at least one ancestral hometown where at least one of your German ancestors came from.
Please note: I am a Travel Advisor, not a genealogist. Therefore, I am not able to assist you with any ancestry research or genealogy questions.
However, as part of the itinerary creation, I can definitely make connections to ancestry researchers, genealogists or archives in your German hometown regions should you wish meet up with professionals who can find out more and tell you more about your German ancestors.

*Please also note that these sample prices do not include the services of a genealogist. However, I can always establish contacts to ancestry researchers / hobby genealogists / historical societies in your hometown regions. So you can get in touch with them and arrange sightseeing tours in your ancestral hometowns directly with them.
