I wanted to get in touch with my family roots, which took me back to Sicily and throughout Italy. After I encountered other American travelers who were in Italy seeking their family connections, I realized we (as Italian-Americans) were missing something important – and I wanted to help others find their origins through travel. The rest is, as they say, is history!
Travel is like any other product or service in the sense that there are levels that range from affordable to high-end luxury. Most travelers (including us) need to find affordable accomodations, tours, restaurants, and ticket prices.
While a trip to Italy is indeed a major purchase for just about everyone, it’s definitely “doable”. Our trip-finding resources allow you to find the most affordable prices, and many tour providers offer ways to reserve your spot and pay in installments.
A heritage vacation to Italy is a life-changing dream come true – but it’s within closer reach than it might seem!
