The Netherlands

Some four and-a-half million U.S. citizens have Dutch ancestry. Those who are eager enough to learn more about their heritage should consider a trip with Dutch Roots Tours, which designs itineraries around their clients' interests and family history. A private guide takes travelers to explore towns and rural areas, while also offering historical insight, local connections, visit houses, farms, churches, shops, companies, cemeteries, and pubs of ancestral significance (contact for pricing).
