Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I pay?
Once your payment is received, you'll receive a confirmation email with a short questionnaire to help us understand your heritage, interests, and travel goals. Within two weeks, our team begins the research and design process — curating a 16-page custom heritage itinerary built through the Invested Traveler Method™. You'll receive a digital proof for review before your printed itinerary is mailed to you.
Can you work with my travel agent?
Absolutely. While Invested Traveler provides the research, planning, and educational framework, we're happy to collaborate with your preferred travel advisor for bookings such as flights, accommodations, and excursions. We can also refer you to trusted partners who specialize in heritage and cultural travel.
What if we haven’t done a DNA test?
That's perfectly fine — you don't need a DNA report to begin your journey. Many clients start with family stories, oral histories, or known regions of ancestry. We'll guide you through how to use those clues to create a meaningful itinerary rooted in culture, history, and connection.
Can we add a personal tour guide?
Yes. Depending on your destination, we can recommend reputable local guides, historians, or cultural ambassadors who specialize in heritage travel. These partners can be booked directly through your travel agent or via our referral network — helping you experience your journey with deeper insight and authenticity.
