Slovakia Ancestry Private Tour for 2 people minimum
Description
This trip is designed for those who want to reconnect with their past and find information about their ancestors who lived in Slovakia. A long time ago many Slovaks emigrated to America and other countries in order to search and start a better life. Now many years later, a lot of people started to show increased interest in finding out more about their ancestors and therefore to find out more about themselves. This trip will give you the opportunity to go back in past, visit the villages where your family comes from, speak with locals to find out about costumes and history. We can help you to draw your family tree if you wish so at an additional cost. Don’t miss this beautiful chance to go back in time. What you need to do is, to give us the surname of your family, the name of the village where they come from, their date of birth. Furthermore, any original documents are very helpful too. If we need more information we will contact you.

Jan and his wife Lilian were amazing hosts and Jan literally worked miracles in finding long lost relatives of my husband's. We provided Jan with some basic documents and several old photographs, and from just that, he was able to personally track down my husband's father's ancestral village and even several distant family members we didn't know existed! Then he took us to the villages to meet them, and translated conversations for us and shared cultural customs with us so we would be prepared. It was a wonderful experience, and it would definitely not have been possible without Jan's persistence and diligence and dedication. In addition to the ancestral work, Jan was AMAZING as our personal host and tour guide all over Slovakia, so we could experience the awesome history, culture and Unesco treasures of his country. The accommodations he and Lilian provide are first rate, comfortable, and include wonderful views of the High Tatras mountains! Being from the USA, Slovakia is a virtual unknown to most Americans, but after our trip, we share our experiences with Jan and Slovakia quite often. Both he and Lilian and their family demonstrate pride and joy in Slovakian history, culture, and values, and we are so fortunate to have found him online and learned all about extended family and the country. We would HIGHLY recommend Experience Slovakia!
