A Meaningful Experience
Standing in the village where your ancestors lived, seeing the church where they were baptized, or walking through the streets they once knew can be an emotional and unforgettable experience.
Many of our American guests tell us that discovering their family roots is the highlight of their visit to Europe.
We are honored to help make that experience possible.
Featured Cross-Border Heritage Itineraries
Because of the shifting borders of Alsace and the Rhine region throughout history, many American families find their records scattered across both France and Germany. VTC Alsace bridges that gap effortlessly with popular routes such as:
The Rhine Valley Heritage: Strasbourg – Colmar – Freiburg (Germany)
The Historic Route: Strasbourg – Baden-Baden – Heidelberg
The Deep Roots Tour: Alsace Wine Route villages & Black Forest rural hamlets
Multi-Day Legacy Journeys: Comprehensive multi-day tours spanning both countries.
Our Premium Mercedes-Benz Fleet
Your comfort is our top priority during long days of emotional and rewarding discovery.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class: The gold standard of luxury and comfort for individuals, couples, or pairs of researchers.
Mercedes-Benz V-Class Van: The ultimate luxury vehicle for larger families and genealogy groups (up to 7 passengers), featuring face-to-face seating configurations perfect for discussing family findings on the road.
Let’s Plan Your Return Home to Alsace and Germany
