Trace Your WW2 Family History
Walk in the Footsteps of Your Ancestors
Follow in the Footsteps of Your Family
Everyone has a story. Let us help you walk in theirs.
Do you have a family member who served in Europe during World War II? Maybe a grandfather who helped liberate a Dutch village, an uncle who was stationed in Holland or a relative who came through Westerbork or witnessed the horrors of Auschwitz?
At Tour Guides For You, we offer deeply personal, private tours for those seeking to connect with their family’s past — walking the very roads they marched, visiting the places they were stationed, and hearing the stories that shaped their lives… and yours.
Your Story, Your Route
No two stories are alike. That’s why every tour we create is fully tailored around your personal family history:
- Research & Planning – You tell us what you know. We’ll help uncover more: military records, old photos, or traces in local archives.
- Custom Routes – From Normandy beaches to Dutch villages, from Market Garden drop zones to concentration camp memorials — we design your journey with care.
- Private & Local Guides – We walk beside you. Not just as guides, but as storytellers, researchers, and fellow travelers on this emotional path.
