Researching your family tree is a voyage of discovery.

And that means – a trip to Belarus. We will fulfill the many unique requirements that ancestral homecoming have. We recognize that each travel program is an individual and personal experience, and to ensure this we will completely customize your travel plans and design a unique program for you. Whether you are traveling with just a few of your immediate family, or as a large Family Association Reunion, we will work with you to design your personal itinerary and then take care of all your travel arrangements from accommodation, transportation, meals and admissions and guiding right through to arranging special visits to synagogues, JCC, Jewish museum, private homes, Jewish cemeteries, Holocaust memorials and archives.
