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.

Nostravia Travel All Russia!!! Having submitted the initial booking amount, I was filled with trepidation, not sure who I was paying & what I was letting myself into. But everything was bingo right from the start.The perfect T. From airport transfers, guides, transport services to food & miscellaneous. "Lev Tolstoy' is surely the best to sail the Volga from Moscow to St Petersburg. It has comfortable cabin space, cleanliness, onboard entertainment & wonderful cuisine. A great experience. I would love to do a repeat. Thank you Gabby Navickaite (Firebird Tours /Travel All Russia) for your relentless guidance & support & thank you 'Lev Tolstoy.

Far East Russia definitely the Great Outdoors !! As in the past Travel all Russia lived up to expectations.A memorable holiday but more of an "expedition" as we explored little known areas.For such a trip you need to approach everything with an open mind,everything was very different but the real pleasure was coming in contact with the real Russian people, on an ongoing basis,rather than being sheltered from them,if one was in a large group. There is no doubt that this area of Russia lives up to the real "Great Outdoors" which suited us down to the ground.

We’ve taken 2 trips with Firebird now… We’ve taken 2 trips with Firebird now and they have both been great. They plan according to your interests and the input you give them and were really responsive to our requests. The itinerary, guides, and hotels were all great!

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.
