ABOUT US

​

Heritage Tours by Seitz Travel was founded in 2018 by Cynthia and Roy Seitz of Houma, Louisiana.  

 

Cynthia Breaux Seitz was born and raised on the bayous of south Louisiana.  An interest in her heritage began at a young age prompting her to start digging into her family history and putting together her family tree.  In doing so she realized she was not just Cajun but that she had Spanish, Italian, and Irish, and German running through her veins as well. This new information sparked a fascination within her about the origins of the other immigrant groups living in Louisiana.   Cynthia is the owner/operator of Heritage Tours by Seitz Travel. Her mission is to provide custom heritage tours to the motherlands of the various ethnic groups of the people of Louisiana.  Seitz Travel is currently offering a heritage tour to Malaga, Spain; Canary Islands, Spain; France, where the Acadians came from, Germany, France, Luxemburg, and Switzerland where the Germans of the German Coast came from, Sicily, Italy, and a Bucket List Tour in Paris.

 

More heritage tours coming soon for Italians, Irish, and Sicilians, to name a few. It is her goal to provide all Louisianians with an opportunity to visit the homelands of their ancestors. 

 

Cynthia has a BA in Education and a Minor in French from Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, Louisiana.  After teaching school for many years, her love for travel and the histories of the people groups of  Louisiana moved her to make a career change, which brings her to where she is now.

​

Roy has a BA in Computer Science and a Minor in Math from Nicholls State University.  He helps to organize and operate all of the tours, but his main passion is math making him the perfect bookkeeper for their business.
