Bring the experience to you with our virtual tours
When travel just isn’t an option, there is a way to learn about our history, discover the stories of our ancestors, and experience new places, traditions, and cultures.
Dorosh Heritage Tours offers our services virtually for anyone who is unable to travel in person but wants to see their ancestral village and authentic Ukrainian culture and traditions. If you have a parent or grandparent who is curious about their heritage, this is a perfect way to give the gift of family history.
The starting point is knowing the village where your ancestors lived. If you don’t know that yet, we can help you find out through our Genealogy Research.
Ancestral villages often don’t appear on Google maps, so it’s hard to see them from a distance. In our virtual tours, we visit the village for you and take professional photos or videos to capture what it looks like, from the sign at the entrance to the village through to the local shops and residents, landscape, landmarks, and nature. We also include any historical photos of the village that we can find to provide added context of what life looked like for your ancestors.
Let me show you how we do it
Each virtual tour results in a digital Photo Album of high-quality photos with descriptive captions or a Virtual Tour Video with narration or captions in English. The goal is to make it feel like you’re walking through your ancestral town, seeing it with your own eyes, learn about its past and present. This is an especially incredible experience when we find ancestral houses, burials or discover living relatives and interview them so that you can listen to the family stories.
This is the video we shoot when doing one of the recent Virtual Tours in Ukraine. Send us a message to customize your Virtual Tour.

I have been trying to research my grandfathers side of the family for many years with very little progress. This is until I contacted Andriy and his team, within the space of weeks I found out more than I found in many years of searching. I can’t thank them enough for the wonder research they’ve carried out, it’s been a smooth and enjoyable process from the outset and can’t wait to continue my journey with Dorosh heritage tours.

I had Dorosh Heritage Tours do a genealogical project for me. Andriy introduced me to Olia via email. I explained my desires to her and she quoted the cost and how long it would take...she was extremely efficient. I forwarded the money and was immediately told when they received the funds. Once the completed document arrived (way before the projected time) I was amazed at much they had done. One of the documents was 155 pages long and very thorough! To have an expert in Ukraine was very worthwhile. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this firm.

I have had the most professional and exciting experience with Dorosh Tours. I wanted to research my maternal line in Ukraine. I didn't have much information to go on and thought it would be very difficult and maybe impossible to learn about this side of my family. Dorosh /Olia really left no stone unturned and I was so happy with my research reports they provided. I now have names,dates and places to fill in all previous empty blanks in my family tree. I found the whole experience wonderful, even the price. I highly recommend their services. Wendy
