"Research Your Ancestors" – A Journey Into Your Sicilian Roots
Embark on a deeply personal and emotional journey through the heart of Sicily with our "Research Your Ancestors" tour — a unique experience designed for those who wish to trace their family origins and reconnect with their ancestral heritage.
Departing from all major ports and hotels across Eastern Sicily, this tour is fully customizable based on your family history. Together, we'll explore the towns and villages where your ancestors once lived, walked, and built their lives.
We begin with a visit to the local municipality offices, where we’ll assist you in researching official documents, including birth, marriage, or death certificates. These records may reveal names, dates, and addresses that bring your family story to life.
If your family home still exists, we'll take you there to see IT in person — and if possible, arrange a meeting with distant relatives who may still live nearby. IT’s not uncommon for travelers to form lasting connections with family members they never knew existed.
We’ll stroll through the streets, piazzas, and churches that shaped your ancestors’ daily lives, giving you an authentic glimpse into the past. Along the way, we’ll share historical and cultural insights to help you fully understand the environment your family once called home.
IT's also possible to add optional stops for local food, artisan shops, and family-run wineries.
Let Sicily welcome you home. Your family history is waiting to be discovered!
