Add an Irish Ancestry Trail and uncover your family tree...


A guest favourite with Little Gem is our ancestry trails on our Irish family tours. Get off the beaten path and follow the footsteps of your ancestors. Climb through grave yards and meet local farmers to get closer to your Irish family tree.
