About Us

A family business devoted to your Polish roots.

Polish Heritage Tours — the Fort family — was founded on a simple belief: everyone deserves the chance to stand where their family began.

Hospitality is how we search.

We are a family business from Kraków, built by young people who chose hospitality as their way of life. That choice shapes everything we do: we do not just research names and dates — we prepare journeys that feel like coming home.

Our mission is to help the Polish diaspora reconnect with the villages, parishes, and people their ancestors left behind. We combine archival genealogy, local knowledge, and warm, personal service so that every step on Polish soil is meaningful.

What Guides Us

Our principles.

Passion & commitment

We are young people who chose hospitality as our way of life. Every genealogy trip and every guest is cared for with genuine dedication.

Family roots first

As a family business, we understand that ancestry travel is deeply personal. We handle each journey as if it were our own family’s story.

Hospitality as a way of life

From the first email to the final goodbye, we want you to feel welcomed, understood, and guided by people who love what they do.
