    I had an amazing experience with Firebird Tours and highly recommend them! From start to finish, they were incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable, and easy to work with in planning our vacation. The small group tour was perfect for us. We loved the guided tours and transfers, also enjoyed having the freedom to plan our own days and meals. Every detail was well-organized and everything went smoothly. The transfers made traveling from city to city stress-free, and our guides were fantastic. The hotels were excellent and in great locations. It was a perfect trip, and I would absolutely travel with Firebird again!

    Our trip to Italy was amazing. The hotels were great, and getting around was easy with trains, water taxis, and luxury vans. All the tours were well planned. We've been sharing pictures since we got back. I definitely recommend Firebird Tours and will use them again for my next trip.

    Asked on June 27th, 2025

    Could you please clarify the difference between "Standard" and "Premium" hotel options? Also, as a 40 yr old female solo traveler planning to join in July or August, I'm curious about the typical age range of participants on this trip. Any tips for solo travelers would also be appreciated!
