Guests we’ve helped explore their family heritage
I think to have such a personalized trip through JayWay afforded the most wonderful learning experience and within the physical and mental parameters one would wish for. My favorite experience was finding my Grandfather's, my Great-grandfather and my Great-great-grandfather's homes in a tiny village northeast of Prague.

JayWay took care of the nitty-gritty details, but allowed us to plan our time and experiences ourselves. They helped customize our trip and made traveling between 5 cities easy and pleasant.

Excellent operation in all respects. Very kind and concerned about our well-being at all times. Our family was treated very well with lodging, transfers, tours and guides, breakfasts and we really felt welcomed to Poland. Excellent being with our family and reconnecting with the roots of our Polish heritage.

Get in Touch With Your Family Heritage
At JayWay, we’re right by your side every step of the way on your quest to uncover your family heritage, no matter which stage you are on your journey. If you’re just about starting the process of looking into your past, JayWay can put you in touch with an expert genealogist before crafting a tailor-made itinerary once you know where your ancestral home is.
If, on the other hand, you’ve already made progress and know where to go, JayWay is there to plan the perfect trip for you, adding to your itinerary all the places that meant a lot to your family while making sure a professional genealogist will be there for you to break the ice – and help you with translating.
The JayWay map covers a large expanse of Europe, particularly areas that saw a lot of emigration to the US. Therefore, we are no strangers to arranging tailor-made family heritage trips throughout Europe.
Jewish Heritage
Most American Jews can trace their ancestry to the Jewish communities of Europe. With the help of guides who are experts in Jewish history and their contacts in local Jewish communities, we can help you forge new connections with your family’s old neighborhoods.
