    The Caucasus was unforgettable

    Traveled to Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan

    I must say that Firebird and the Caucasus surprised us in so many ways! The further we traveled, the more impressed we were with nature, cities, and the quality of our tour. If planning for the Caucasus, don't hesitate to go with them and make sure to spend there 10 or more days, one week won't be enough.

    Wonderful trip to Moldova

    Traveled to Moldova

    To be honest, I’ve never really thought about spending my vacation in Moldova until my friend gave me a bottle of locally produced wine as a birthday present. And that's the moment when I started to check out the destination. When I was looking for an ideal opportunity to learn more about the history of wine-making, I came across the program organized by Firebird.

    Traveled to Russia

    My Volga Dream trip was fantastic. Russia is a great place to visit and tour. The time was way too short. I would like to spend more time in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The hotels were both five stars. The St Regis in Moscow was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.
