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.

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.
