What a fantastic tour What a fantastic tour, a real bucket list highlight for us, just standing in Red Square and looking at St. Basil’s Cathedral was almost unimaginable. Then off to St. Petersburg and the overwhelming opulence of the palaces of the Romanovs. Other tours have a lot to compete with when compared to this tour, just fantastic!

Our trip was fantastic Our trip was fantastic. Professionally handled by Ksenia from Firebird Travel. She and her colleagues handled everything: hired vehicles, guides, tickets, ballet reservations, restaurant reservation (including roses for my wife on our anniversary). I will unquestionably use her and her company for any and all travel that they are able to help with.

Excellent service Excellent service, guides, food. Our timing was not good, because of inauguration of the president and anniversary of the end of the II World war. Huge crowds, lineups and Kremlin was closed. This was the only negative aspect I can report. I think that itinerary should be modified when there are historic celebrations in the visiting country.

Everything was exactly as the promised Everything was exactly as the promised. Pre departure paperwork and Visa was a breeze. Both guides were excellent; friendly and knew their stuff. No queueing up at entrances. The Hotels were very comfortable and food was good. I would urge anyone thinking of ticking Russia off their bucket list to use Firebird travel.

Saw all highlights in Moscow and St Petersburg Relaxing daily schedule. Luxurious hotel. Suitable for solo or couple travellers. A lot of free time after the tour for you to relax or explore on your own. Knowledgeable guides. Train to St Petersburg was fast and comfortable
