Travel to Germany - Customized private Tours

If you have German ancestors and if you want to visit the places where they have once lived, in this case you have found the perfect partner for your customized private German Ancestry & Heritage Tour. We - TGAC - work together with you step-by-step for the best possible travel experience. We are well aware that such a German Ancestry Tour has a very personal - and emotional - character. 

Our secret of success is the co-operation of Jo Ann Wolf located in the U.S. (handling registrations and payments) with Ute Mehlhorn born, raised and living in Germany. 

Ute is a native German and speaks English fluently. For escorted tours, Ute is not only the trip planner but also the guide, driver and translator during the trip.

For German Ancestry Tours we advise to opt for a worry-free escorted tour. But we also offer to arrange for a self-guided tour in Germany if you prefer that.

We - TGAC - pay very much attention to the trip details, a leisure travel pace and a comfortable, enjoyable and flexible way of customized travel. For German Ancestry Tours we always contact local parish offices, town halls, historical societies etc. as a crucial part of the trip preparations. This way we arrange for encounters with locals for each individual ancestral place. These locals can give you a deep insight about the life and work of your German ancestors in old times - even if they don't speak English well enough for such a meaningful informative conversation about the local history, because you have you private guide, driver - and translator! An escorted German Ancestry tour also makes it easy and fun to savor authentic regional and traditional German food in local taverns where you won't find English menus (or tourists)...

As part of the individual German Ancestry Tour preparations, we also offer our German Genealogy Service. The more you know about your ancestors the more satisfying and successful your private trip will turn out! There is also the option to search for living relatives = descendants of those ancestral family members who have stayed in Germany and who are living in or near the original ancestral places.

Of course you can also combine the German Heritage part of your trip with other individual interests - making it a trip of your lifetime.

We - TGAC - offer German Ancestry & Heritage Tours for parties of 1-5 people and also for small groups of 8 - 16 people.
