Platinum Venice of the North

We just returned from our trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg. It was fantastic, like a Faberge egg! There was a surprise at every corner! Our group and the guides were fantastic. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and we didn't have to wait in a line anywhere.

We had the most wonderful time in Russia! Our guides were exceptional! They were so well versed in explaining the history of each sight we visited. Thank you so much for all your help in planning this wonderful trip for us.

Our guides in Moscow and St. Petersburg were wonderful. Both were very knowledgeable and made efforts to show us additional sights that weren’t scheduled but were interesting to us. We appreciate everyone’s kindness and hospitality.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a taste for adventure! Best trip EVER! Beyond my expectations! The organization was unbelievable and efficient! I would recommend this trip to anyone who has a taste for adventure!

The arrangements for our tour of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Baltics (Tallin, Riga, Vilnius) were perfectly executed. The guides were knowledgeable and professional in their delivery. All the hotels were comfortable and the breakfast buffets were varied and delicious.

Thank you for planning the trip of a lifetime. Everyone in our group had a great time on the trip. The itinerary that you have planned for us was just what we were hoping. The trip more than exceeded our expectations. The memories that I had from the trip is priceless.

I really enjoyed the trip. Particularly appreciated the very helpful assistance throughout the tour preparation process. I will happily recommend your company to anyone who would like to ravel in Russia. Thanks for all your help in making it possible.

Amazing!! This was probably one of the best trips I have had overseas. It was my mother's first ever trip out of the US. She loved it! The Classic Moscow & St. Petersburg tours were well organized and provided great pictures and lots of information.

On behalf of myself; husband, Larry; son, Jason; and daughter-in-law, Elena, I would like to express our thanks and gratitude to you and many other folks at Firebird Tours for a wonderful trip. t is a priceless adventure! I highly recommend your company and this tour. 

My son and I had a wonderful wonderful trip. We were both very pleased with everything. The three guides we had were so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and a lot of fun. ll three were extremely fluent in English. We both agree the Two Russian Capitals was a trip of a lifetime!

Well, this truly was the trip of a lifetime. We have traveled a lot but both agree this is the best one yet. At every turn, your people were standing there with signs to greet us. We had absolutely no problems with anything on the entire trip.

We went to great places and both tour guides told us lots of information about the cathedrals, palaces, museums, villages and subways in Moscow and St Petersburg. My favorite place was the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg I adored seeing the Impressionist paintings!!

It really was a fabulous trip and Firebird was great to work with. Sergiev Posad was the most enjoyable part of the countryside. I wouldn't hesitate to work with this company again.

The trip was wonderful, everything went well and much better than what we expected. Guides were great and logistics ran as smooth as it could possibly be. Even the weather was nice in both Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The itinerary was wonderful. We got into each sight quickly for the most part. The interior visits were arranged nicely and the guides were helpful and informed. They taught us so much about Russia.

Excellent vacations! We got back from our Russia trip yesterday and it was a dream vacation! Our tour guides in Moscow and St. Petersburg were THE BEST - very knowledgeable and always took a superior care of us. The hotels were splendid, specially Angleterre hotel in St. Petersburg.

We loved our Northern Lights trip. he schedule allowed plenty of time to explore or relax while exposing us to interesting and fun adventures. A great way to see a lot without worrying about coordinating multiple hotels and connections!

What an awesome trip! Russia was beautiful, even in the wintertime. Our guides were amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much about Russia. The hotels were also excellent. All around great trip!

The whole trip was just faultless, the organization was outstanding, accommodation comfortable and central, and the food fantastic.I just loved Russia and the trip was far beyond my expectations, and hope to visit it again another time.

Our trip to Russia was excellent! We had two fabulous guides in both Moscow and St. Petersburg. The drivers were also exceptional, especially in St. Petersburg. All the arrangements were perfect and the suggested itinerary was spot on.

We made the right choice going with Firebird Tours. My wife and I had a most wonderful trip. Moscow and St. Petersburg are beautiful cities with a lot of culture. The guides in both cities are attentive and resourceful.

Ship and hotels were excellent and Russian people were extremely friendly. Firebird team was very knowledgeable and reassuring during the booking process. Highly recommend this company and trip. Russia is spectacular.

The Russian experience exceeded our expectations. We would have liked a few more days in Moscow, but that gives us something to look forward to in the future. Everything was lovely. All the guides were tops! Great overall experience.

Overall, the trip was very good! The location of both hotels was good. Volga cruise, in general, was well arranged. Food and Beverage were good, service excellent. The Staff members were very friendly, onboard entertainment very good and cabins clean. I will recommend your tour to my friends.

Everything went off as scheduled with no problems, once someone picked us up from the airport. We thank you for recommending the Mariinsky Ballet. The hotels were satisfactory and their locations ideal. The Firebird help was superb and well worth extra days stay in St Petersburg.

All logistics were well catered for, but the highlight was the fact that the tour was personalised just for my wife and I. This meant that we had a lot more interaction with the respective tour guides. Also, the guides appeared to have specialised treatment at some of the attractions, getting us into places that we alone got entry to. Not sure how they did it - but it made the tour even more special.

All of our guides, drivers and your office personnel were extremely professional and punctual at all meetings points and above all extremely knowledgeable of each of the countries we transited through. I definetely will recommend the trip to all my friends. Thank you again.

Our travel specialist was awesome, each leg of the trip was seamless and spectacular!!

Fantastic trip and great experience. Would recommend it to our friends. Perfect tour guide.

Thank you for all your suggestions and arrangements for our group. We have all been so impressed with how smoothly and well run the program has been. All our guides were very professional and informative. We would not hesitate to recommend your organization and in fact would not consider using anyone else.

Thank you for all of your help planning and setting everything up before we left. It was wonderful!! We couldn't have been happier - from the courteous drivers who each met us as indicated in the itinerary to each of the guides who were incredibly knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time!

Our trip was spectacular! Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a marvelous trip. From the airport pick-up driver and his skill of getting us everywhere with ease for the following 4 days; to our sensational guide and his encyclopedic knowledge of the history and heritage of St. Petersburg.

Our trip went off very well. All the arrangements went off well. All the hotel locations were wonderful. Our experience with Firebird tours was great! We would highly recommend your tour company to anyone interested in going to Scandinavia and Russia.

You arranged a small private tour for six of us for 8 countries! On behalf of our group, I would like to thank you for the great work you did for us. Everything was perfect and seamless! All the guides did a great job, too. Thanks again for the great tour!

Our trip was absolutely amazing! We cannot thank you enough. The hotels, drivers and tour guides were all top notch. We will certainly share our positive Firebird experience with friends. Thank you for your patientce and accommodating us during our many months of planning, many thanks. We appreciated all you did.

We are back, had good flights home. We are so happy with our tours and how everything went so well and so organized. All the tour guides were very fluent in English and very informative. Thank you Fire Bird Tours so very much We had an unforgettable amazing trip!!!!

Thank you very much for all your help organising our trip to Russia. We had a great time and now I am planning train trip across Russia to Siberia and Mongolia!

It was simply fantastic! Your planning and execution was without equal and flawless. It was a little cold however... (-28F during the dog sled ride on the lake...)

I wanted to commend your staff for providing us with an outstanding and most memorable trip to Russia. The Two Russian Capitals trip exceeded our expectations! Everything was so well organized; no detail was left undone. We thank you for making this experience one we will not forget.

All logistics and details in my time in Russia during the Golden Ring & St. Petersburg tours were awesome! Thanks so much with all your support starting right from the visa process (so easy!) right through to the suggestions for tipping and finally the organization of the entire trip.

We had a great time in Russia. Truly enjoyed most of the vacation as Russia and the people are super special and beautiful. I will of course recommend you and your team without any hesitation. Again, a magical trip and can not thank you enough for managing this experience.

We are back safely from our Venice of the North trip to St Petersburg and I would just like to thank you for organizing the FANTASTIC tour. You were accurate when you said that we would have the best guide in your company. The best way to learn about St Petersburg.

My Volga Dream trip was fantastic. Russia is a great place to visit and tour. The time was way too short. I would like to spend more time in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The hotels were both five stars. The St Regis in Moscow was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

We really enjoyed our trip to Scandinavia and Russia! Had a fabulous trip, and the tour guides you set up for us were phenomenal!

Just a quick note of thanks for setting up a great trip. I will write up a more detailed note in trip adviser but wanted you to know that we enjoyed the entire itinerary but in particular found our visit to St Petersburg absolutely fabulous.

Our trip was really great. Both Jacqui I were very impressed with your efforts and are happy to assure you that we had a great trip. With our holiday completed, the transfer to the airport was good and travel on Aeroflot to Moscow and then Hong Kong efficiently done.

I can not say in words how great the trip was!! Everything was well planned and the service from everyone was superior. You will always be the first choice for travel for us in the future. Thank You Again for everything that you did for us.

Our guide in Saint Petersburg was fantastic. Can't say enough good things about her: professional, friendly, excellent speaking skills, great sense of humor, knowledgeable on many subjects, knows St. Petersburg on many levels. We would recommend Firebird in the future!

My family wants to thank Firebird Tours for the preparations they did for our trip. It couldn't have been better. We enjoyed having a private tour. My family would love to travel again with your company. It takes all the anxiety out of traveling.
