Russia was a revelation! Excellent tour guides in both Moscow and St. Petersburg. Schedule was a bit light for my taste. In St. Petersburg, both Peterhof and Catherine's Palace were both beautiful, however, I would have liked to have visited additional art museums, and historic homes of writers rather that seeing two gold encrusted palaces. I knew that St. Petersburg would be crowded in August, but was just overwhelmed by the number of tourists. Impossible to really "see" art in the Hermitage -- we were rushed thru so quickly (by the museum guards) to accomopdate the 35,000 daily visitors. Other museums, especially The Russian State Museum, were exceptional. I visited it on my own, not part of the tour.

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.

Magnificent trip to Russia Magnificent trip to Russia! I wasn't sure what to expect in Russia but whatever preconceived ideas I had wasn't what I found. Moscow was as cosmopolitan as any European city only cleaner and safer. Travel All Russia-Firebird Tours handled all the arrangements for my 10 day tour in Russia including the visa. They were quick to respond to any questions I had which were many. I highly recommend them and would use them again myself.
