Hi travelers, isn't it fun to travel to new places? In my thirteenth season as a fully licensed guide and genealogist, I look forward to meeting you in 2024! All my tours can be customized according to your wishes and interests. Whether you are an experienced traveler or a first-timer, I will be happy to discover with you the most attractive and lesser-known places of the beautiful Czech Republic or Prague, which will enchant you with its fairy-tale beauty, just like the millions of visitors who visit it every year. As an experienced genealogist, I can build the ancestral family tree of your Czech family, which in the past immigrated to the USA from the Czech Republic, Bohemia or Moravia. From records in parish registers and local archives of the Czech Republic, you can learn a lot about the life of your Czech ancestors before your arrival in my Czech Ancestral Research. Perhaps then, during a one-day fully customized ancestral tour, you would like to visit the places from where your ancestors set off on their journey across the ocean to find a new life. It is possible to find the original homes where your ancestors lived, the churches where they were married and the cemeteries where they are buried. It will certainly be an unforgettable experience and also a good reason to visit the Czech Republic. For tours with you, I rent a private car or van with a professional driver, so I can give you my full attention during the entire duration of the tour. In case of reduced mobility, I offer the possibility of using an electric 4-wheel scooter. I would be happy to become your company for unforgettable experiences when visiting the Czech Republic! Guaranteed by my fluent English and professional guide license along with almost 270 5 star reviews.

Can I rate above 5 stars, please? Dagmar led my husband, adult son, and me on a tour of villages mentioned in a family history book. She went above any expectations in her preparation, knowledge, friendliness, and by securing a wonderful driver for the day. The day tour ended up being the highlight of our two-week vacation. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dagmar, for giving us the gift of your time last May. We will cherish that day forever!

What a fantastic experience with Dagmar on a custom Ancestral Tour in the Tabor area! I wanted to learn about my family heritage and visit some of the areas in Bohemia they were from. Being a genealogy researcher and guide, Dagmar was the perfect person to do this tour with. She was able to take the limited information I had and expand the family pedigree, plus track down locations and details that made for an unforgettable experience. She is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, personable and professional!

Although my wife has researched her Czech ancestry for years, Dagmar nevertheless managed to add some corrective details, and spent considerable time attempting to gain further information from church and cemetery records not available online. Additionally, she was able to use the information to focus our tour day to see exactly what we'd hoped to in our limited time in-country and make our trip a success. In all, we found the additional research expense well worthwhile as preparation for our tour.

Late in posting, but the genealogy tour was the highlight of our Prague trip. Dagmar was delightful and informative, giving us a lot of history and background as we traveled to Slovakia. She presented research she had completed ahead of time, which is done mostly by searching old church records. We visited some cemeteries and we fortunate to find a distant relative, at home, who was willing to meet with us! Meeting Maria and learning about her life was amazing, and humbling, for us and our adult kids.

We changed our tour today and went to Kutna Hora instead. Thank you, Dagmar, for making the change. Once again, she did an amazing job of showing us around. We also enjoyed our wonderful driver.
