05 Jul
Tour Overview
The Irish have emigrated all over the globe. Around 80 million people worldwide claim to have Irish roots. If you are from the USA, Canada or Australia, chances are that at least one of your ancestors come from the Emerald Isle. No wonder that so many people come to Ireland for an adventure into their past.
Tracing your Irish Ancestors can be fun and exciting. The Irish were survivors, bound with strength and optimism. They moved to distant countries to build new lives. What made them leave? Where did their journey start? Tracing your family history can be time-consuming but rewarding. Connecting with the land of your ancestors can bring a deep sense of belonging. A journey into the past will create everlasting memories for your entire family.
Kerry Experience Tours can assist in organising your Irish journey of discovery and be your driver/guide when exploring the home of your ancestors. Visit the very place where your ancestors lived in the early years of their lives. Explore the land they loved so much but had to leave behind. Talk to the people who still live here and listen to their stories. You might even connect with members of your extended family. This experience will give you a vivid picture of your past. You’ll soon feel at home in Ireland, just like your ancestors did.
