For two decades, we have been crafting bespoke trips tailored to various groups, from individuals and families to larger groups of up to 20 people. Throughout this time, we’ve had the privilege of personally guiding thousands of travelers through the region, helping them connect with their roots and uncover the stories of their ancestors.

Tailored heritage tours

Customized experiences for every size

No matter the size of your group, we have the perfect itinerary for you. Each of our tours is meticulously customized to meet your unique interests, ensuring an unforgettable journey that resonates with your family’s heritage.

Personalized heritage tours for families, individuals, small groups (1-8 persons)

Fully customized service

Waiting at the airport or other point of arrival, around-the-clock availability, driving service – transportation by agency car, translation and interpreting services, hotel and restaurant booking on behalf of the visitors, professional guiding with historical highlights, arranging visits to ancestral birthplaces, churches, cemeteries, museums, galleries, historical sights, and any other places of interest, providing adequate nutrition during the visit for visitors with special dietary needs and fast access to medical care institutions.

Catering to groups ranging from 8 to 20 individuals

These groups, often comprising town associations or interest groups, may already have prearranged itineraries and activities. While we can manage their logistics, we also enhance their journey by arranging additional features such as side trips, cultural experiences, workshops, and other engaging activities.

Our traditional tours cater to the Donauschwaben community, focusing on the regions once inhabited by this ethnic group. Building upon the legacy
of the Zichydorf Village Association’s tours led by Mr. Glenn Schwartz and Mr. Ray Borschowa until 2016, these group experiences complement rather
than detract from the personal goals of participants. Typically occurring once or twice a year, our tailored solutions ensure a seamless blend of group dynamics and individual interests.

Drawing on our expertise in genealogy, history, and local culture, an ancestral home visit with Synergia may include the following (subject to availability):

Locating ancestral family homes with precision, often utilizing old maps and cadastral records. In some cases, the original house still stands, while even in altered landscapes, we can often pinpoint their former locations.
Engaging with residents and local historians versed in the area's familial history.
Exploring the churches, synagogues, or other religious sites frequented by ancestors.
Paying respects at ancestral gravesites within local cemeteries.
Visiting schools attended by ancestors, along with notable landmarks like old mills, manors, inns, town halls, train stations, local markets, and craft shops boasting longstanding traditions.
Discovering unique attractions and landmarks in the ancestral region or along our route.
Participating in hands-on workshops tailored to your interests, such as earthen architecture or cooking classes featuring traditional local cuisine.
Exploring relevant local museums to gain insights into your ancestors' daily lives, including aspects such as housing, traditions, clothing, farming practices, and craftsmanship.
