Exceeded my expectations Exceeded my expectations! I am a solo traveler and asked Firebird if they could put together an unguided tour complete with lodging and transportation details if I provided basic information about what I expected to see and do. Natalia put this together for me, answered countless questions, made suggestions to enhance my trip taking in selected Switzerland, Austria, Italy and Germany sites.

Wonderful trip This was our first trip with Firebird Tours but definitely won't be the last. Alex P was our agent and so helpful & responsive to all questions or concerns. Hotels, transport, guides were fantastic. Minor issues were addressed by Firebird immediately. Highly recommend Firebird.

Celebrating my 70th Birthday in Italy I contacted several companies about doing a customized, private tour in Italy as I could not find a group tour that included everything we wanted to see. I went with Firebird because they always responded to my emails quickly, even on weekends. They never dropped the ball with us. That's what impressed me the most as the other companies waited until Monday to get back to me. The trip was my dream trip to celebrate my birthday. It was everything I could have hoped for and more. Everywhere we went we had a driver and/or tour guide waiting for us. We just looked for our names. The drivers were courteous and safe drivers. We had delightful tour guides, and we hated to say goodbye to them at the end of the tour. At least two of our tour guides taught English to kids during the day. They also spoke several different languages. Sometimes the drivers were not as fluent in English. My husband would plug a question into his phone and bring that same question up in Italian. Then he would speak the question to the person in Italian. We did not have communication issues. We asked for and got 4/5 star hotels. We enjoyed all of them. Breakfast was included with the rooms and always good. We were surprised with a complementary bottle of wine from the company in honor of my birthday. Our trip took us from Venice to Florence, a day in Assisi, on to Rome, Vatican City, Sorrento, Pompeii and Capri Island. It also included a day trip up the Amalfi Coast. After our tour of Pompeii, we were given coupons for a free pizza and pop at a local restaurant, complements of Firebird. We appreciated little things like that. We traveled by private driver, train and a motorboat. We had one glitch along the way, but I did an instant chat with Firebird. They got back to me right away and told us what to do and where to go. We highly recommend Firebird and will use their services again.

First trip to Italy This was my first trip to Italy and using Firebird. They did a great job and were very attentive. They followed our flight from Dublin to Venice and recognized we had two delays. Our driver in Venice was right there when we finally arrived and took us to the water taxi which took us very close to our hotel. My only concern was the length of the various tours. Seven out of the 8 people in our group were senior citizens and all 8 agreed the 4 hours of touring and walking was tiring, and after a while people started tuning out the guide. It would be most welcomed if there was a break in the middle. All our guides were very knowledgeable and considerate. Transportation was handled very well. I would use Firebird again and recommend them to others planning a trip. At Firebird I corresponded with Greta and she always got back to me promptly and answered all my questions.

Highly recommend Firebird for the perfect vacation! Firebird consistently helps me to plan and implement the perfect vacation. According to the dates I choose and places I am interested in seeing, Firebird seamlessly incorporates transfers and local guides to meet my schedule. Private tours are impactful and help bridge cultural gaps with language expertise. I have used Firebird to help me plan several vacations and their customer support is invaluable when last minute plans change and adjustments need to be made in a foreign country. I highly recommend their services. Already planning my next vacation with their assistance of course!
