Travel into the past with Ancestral Footsteps: a new family history experience that sends you on an exhilarating journey back in time – with first class treatment all the way.

The founder of Ancestral Footsteps, Sue Hills, came up with the concept of bespoke genealogical vacations whilst working on the hit BBC series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ Several of the celebrities, involved in exploring their family history on air, suggested to her that their friends and associates would also love the chance to experience this once in a lifetime journey.

The result is Ancestral Footsteps, a finely tailored service, which helps private individuals discover their own roots in Great Britain, Europe and beyond. With our extensive network of researchers, historians and local fixers, this exclusive form of time travel takes you on an emotional journey in the footsteps of your ancestors. Our bespoke packages include intensive background research on your ancestry, luxury travel arrangements, a dedicated researcher accompanying you throughout your journey, your own personal commemorative ancestral album and the option of a unique film documenting the whole experience.

As a member of the Travel Trust Association, Ancestral Footsteps operates a Trust Account. This is an independent bank account to which an independent third party has been appointed Trustee. Funds are placed in this account for your total financial protection.
