• Firebird = excellence.

  Myself plus 3 other friends took a trip which was organized by firebird to chase the Northern Lights in Norway. Polina created a superb itinerary which met and exceeded our requests and expectations. Abyy and Alexandra from firebird made sure that the logistics of the program were carried out according to the plan. All 3 ladies were attentive to our needs and promptly responded to our requests. This is my 89 trip overseas, but my first trip with firebird. From now on they will be the company that I will work with for future trips. They are the best!! Dr. E. Boker + 3.

• We had a fabulous time

  We had a fabulous time. The two guides we had were amazing and knowledgeable. They taught us a lot. All the sites were beautiful. The rain put a damper on the trip tho. The lady in red at the Flam stop was incredible.

• This was a fantastic trip!

  This was a fantastic trip! All of the locations that we visited were interesting, unique and wonderful to explore. Visiting Scandinavia in the winter is definitely cold, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Seeing the Northern Lights was amazing, as were so many of the other sights in Norway and Finland!

• Maria — August 2026Norway is gorgeous

  Norway is gorgeous. Hotels were wonderful.

• Jatako — August 2026Norway trip was wonderful

  Norway trip was wonderful, but it was very cold in the summer, and I was surprised. We enjoyed the fjord scenery and each small town. train and ferry ride were very good experiences.

• Joe Pramik — August 2026Norway, beautiful country and beautiful people

  Norway itself and the people we met along the way made this trip great. Yes, the country is beautiful, clean, and memorable but it was the people (hotel staff, restaurant staff, transfer drivers, and tour guides) we met and interacted with that really welcomed us to Norway.

• SVPnDVP — June 2026Ali that was promised and more!

  We traveled to Norway and Finland in 2019 (even though it states 2020 below) with Firebird tours. It was a small group tour but it was ultimately a 2 person tour! The service from each and every guide was fantastic. They were always on time to meet us either at the airport or hotel for a tour. The lodgings were unique, clean and we never had a complaint. Each local guide was unique, informative and friendly. Don't hesitate.. Firebird customer service was great from payments to questions and assistance in any way. We'd definitely travel with them again and are looking forward to Switzerland and Northern Italy when travel is open again.

• J G del Rosario — June 2026Our Firebird Tour-organized private Scandinavian Adventure again gets five stars!

  My wife and I decided to see Denmark, Sweden and Finland after she gave a talk at the EURO Conference on Operations Research in Copenhagen in early July. We only saw their capitals, back in 2006, and we felt it was time see more of the three countries' cities and villages. Without hesitating, we decided to contact Firebird to arrange our private tour - this was going to be our third outing with Firebird in as many years - in 2002, we used them for our Norway, Netherlands and Belgium private tour and in 2023, they organized our Switzerland private tour. We never regretted the decision. We again looked for Natalie Ray, the same sales person who handled our itinerary in the first two outings. Whenever I have a specific itinerary in mind which is not similar to any of the published tours, it will take time to craft all the details. Natalie had been used to our style and patiently worked with us to craft an itinerary that we would be completely happy with. Although I specified the cities and villages that I wanted to visit with my wife, I vetted the hotel choices that Natalie would line up for me, and I reviewed the timings for the guided tours, the drives, and the departure times, I left it to Natalie and her team to design the sequence of visits and which cities would be the home bases and which nearby locations would be the day trips from the home bases. As the tour drew nearer, they provided more details, like exact timing of pick-ups, departures, arrivals, etc. A couple of weeks prior to leaving, I noted With about two weeks prior to departure, I noted that the Kalmar tour was to the famed glass factories so I requested for a change to a regular city tour, with castle and cathedral. After a week, Firebird had arranged it with their local agent. We enjoyed nearly all the hotels that we had jointly agreed upon, especially the Royal Hotel in Aarhus, Britannia in Esbjerg, Best Western Kalmarsund, Avalon in Gothenburg, Radisson Blu in Uppsala, Lydmar Hotel in Stockholm, Hotel Maria in Helsinki, Radisson Blu Marina Palace in Turku, and Sokos solo Torni in Tampere. There was a fumble by Radisson Blu Uppsala which gave us the wrong room but a quick consult with Firebird Support and we were transferred the next night to a much larger room. The itinerary included the overnight ferry ride on Silja Lines, from Stockholm to Helsinki, which we had done before in 2006. That is always a nice ship ride and Firebird made sure we had a sea view room. Nearly all the local tour guides engaged by Firebird were very good or outstanding - there were 15 guides and only three didn't rate 'exceptional'. All the tour guides showed up on time, without exception. For most of the days, there were intermittent showers or downright rain. This naturally put a damper on our enjoyment but the guides were savvy enough to jiggle the schedules so that we stayed mostly indoors when it rained and outdoors when rained stopped. We were assigned three main drivers, one main driver for each country, and they were all very good. The tour vehicle for Sweden was a bit small (an MB A model) but the two others were large enough (an MB van and an MB S class). All the drivers were friendly and professional, and drove safely. There was a slight fumble when our guide in Malmo and Ystad wasn't informed that she was supposed to pay for the Viking living museum in Foteviken, so we had to shell out the entrance fees. That got settled after the fact but I thought I could just get the refund money from the local tour agent (the same person driving us around in Sweden) but Firebird rules dictated that it be a two step transaction - I get a check from them, and then they bill the local agent, which I thought was a bit more clumsy. There was almost another incident in Aarhus when our guide didn't have tickets to the open air museum and he had to call Firebird Support (I had to give him the number) to confirm that indeed that ticket was part of the arrangement. All in all, our 'Scandinavian Adventure' was great, exciting, and very memorable, with great thanks to Firebird Tours. We are beyond pleased - they may be expensive, but with Firebird, you always get what you pay for.

Reviews from our travelers

• Lalitha Mani — September 2023

  I think Firebird was great in organizing a customized tour that included Finland and Estonia to the usual Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. High marks for that. We could have had one more day each in Copenhagen and Oslo. I also would have liked to have had the option of picking deluxe rooms for stay instead of the 'double rooms' that were sometimes barely acceptable. Finally it would have helped if we had one point of contact for trouble shooting while on the trip. Firebird could add a touch of class by including a paid for dinner during the trip at a nice restaurant for the group to enhance the bonding. We found such opportunities on our own which turned out to be spectacular but required a lot of logistical planning on our parts.
