Before you check out the photo gallery, here’s what a some of the participants had to say about the tour:

It has been a great adventure working towards my dual citizenship! Luxembourg Legacy has helped make the process easier to achieve. I loved the inspiration of seeing my father’s ancestral home and experienced stories and pictures that will last a lifetime. I could not be prouder to be an American Luxembourger!

What an experience!! These 10 days were jam packed with sights, history, great food, ample free time and mingling with fellow travelers.The team at Luxembourg Legacy went above and beyond to provide a meaningful and personal experience for all attendees! The family day was extra special; creating new friendships and connection to our ancestral roots!

Every day was filled with meaningful experiences, exploring the beautiful country of Luxembourg. This trip brought new memories and new friendships.

It was an unbelievable experience with a wonderful group of people. Kevin, Rebecca, Mary and Guy made the trip super. We made a visit to our ancestral villages with Franz, and took pictures in front of my great grandpa’s home.

Truly enjoyable trip and I met some very nice people! It was great overview of Luxembourg and some of its history.  Now I want to go back and spend more time exploring my homeland. It would be a great base for seeing more of the countries around it as well.  Thank you to Kevin, Rebecca and Mary for putting all this together.

This was an exceptional trip. We received a nice overview of the country and its history – especially WW II history. We learned more about the Lux/American connection, and we were given the opportunity to meet and socialize with native Luxembourgers. And the food was great!

Thank you Kevin and everyone at Luxembourg Legacy for giving us the opportunity to complete our family puzzle. It was extremely satisfying to see and experience our Luxembourg roots. What a wonderful family we have!
