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

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!

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.
