Irish Genealogy Tours
Travel. Discover. Learn.
Every tree needs its roots. We here at Irish genealogy tours can help you visit the sites and locations in which your ancestors walked, worked, lived and loved. Millions of Irish people left these shores for a new life and now their descendants are coming home to connect with the past.
We specialize in Northern Ireland but have links across the island so please feel free to ask questions.
About Irish Genealogy Tours
Professional Tourist Guides
At Irish genealogy tours we are professional tour guides who have a specialty in family history and research. Over the years we have found that guests coming to their homeland have done a mass of research on their family trees and mainly what they are requiring is local background knowledge. Putting flesh on the bones of their ancestors, the times, the places and the story of their lives. We use only the best guides who are accredited and tested. Their job is to ensure that anyone visiting their ancestral homeland has as an informative and enjoyable time as possible. We are based in Belfast so we specialize in Northern Ireland, but have connections across the whole island.
