Second Firebird trip, but not the last This is the second Firebird trip our family has taken. As a well-traveled and tech-savvy millennial, I couldn’t imagine traveling again without Firebird. The painful logistics, transportation, and tours are all carefully arranged and taken care of in the most convenient manner. It’s changed the way we travel forever and we will be using Firebird again in the future; it was worth every penny.

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.

Great individualized service and communication This was our first trip to Europe and a special celebration for my wife and I. 17 days in Austria and Rome. Firebird handled all in-country transportation and lodging, and several personal or small group tours. I never worked with a tour company before and did not know anyone who had worked with Firebird previously, so I was a bit hesitant. However, I was extremely pleased with Firebird's personalized service, communication, professionalism, and attention to detail / special requests. I felt like I had a personalized travel agent who assisted us with each step of the process, and whose goal was to identify what was important to us individually. The hotels they suggested or agreed upon were excellent and competitively priced. Their in-country transportation services (airports to hotel and city to city) were excellent with one exception regarding emailed train tickets which required a work around. The tour leaders they selected were very good. The thing I appreciated most about the Firebird services was their responsive communication during all phases, and their ability to incorporate all our specific requests. I thought their pricing was very reasonable for the level of service and expertise we were provided.

Our trip to Italy was a dream trip that… Our trip to Italy was a dream trip that we never expected to happen. We had heard excellent recommendations about Firebird so we gave them a try. Best decision for us. Every thing was perfectly planned and executed. We went (for us) first class. Train transfers, drives, hotels, separate tours…everything went like clockwork.

Amazing Scandinavian Adventure Our trip was such a wonderful experience. The team created the perfect Scandinavian experience for us. Each stop was different from the one before, and we were always in awe of all the things we were able to see and do despite the limited time. The Firebird team hit all of our bucket list items, from visiting the Vasa Museum; staying at the original Ice Hotel; dog sledding; and we were lucky enough to enjoy the Northern Lights at two of our stops. All of our hotels were perfect with the friendliest staff, great food and perfect rooms. The transfers made traveling from Denmark to Sweden to Finland as stress free as possible. This trip is one that we will always remember.
