Scandinavia + Baltic Capitals

We enjoyed getting an overview of each city and then having the rest of the day and evening to explore on our own or return to something we saw with the guide. The hotels were top notch. The boat rides were a lot of fun.

There were so many logistical aspects of this recent trip, including overnight sea travel, multiple flights, train rides, bus transportation, etc. and every transfer and aspect of this moving from place to place went absolutely smoothly.

This was an amazing trip. Norway was the most beautiful place I have ever been to. Firebird did an amazing job of doing all of the planning for us and everything worked like clockwork. We never had to worry about getting from place to place, and the places we stayed were beautiful, all with great service.

This was my first international trip, and it will set the bar high for any other tour that might capture my attention in the future, international or domestic! We were treated very well wherever we went! Thank you Firebird Tours for making this such a wonderful experience.

Thank you Firebird for an amazing experience. My travel consultant was brilliant and always responded quickly. I'm so pleased that we added The Baltic States to this tour. It is completely different from Scandinavia, and maybe, needs just a little bit more promotion.

During our many years of traveling abroad, we’ve worked with numerous travel companies, but NONE can be compared to the top-notch service we experienced with Firebird.

We had the time of our lives and will be looking to plan another holiday with Firebird next year sometime hopefully. The organization by Firebird was unparalleled, everything went like clockwork. I’ve been telling everyone how outstanding Firebird is.

I cannot say enough good stuff about the logistics and the 2 tour guides who did the walking tours! All were perfect. The tour was really special! The hotel that I really loved was the Arctic Light Hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Everything was handled in a timely manner and was taken care of. Even when we had questions and asked for changes to the pickup times, it was all worked out. Our guide in Tromso was excellent. She went above and beyond to help us.

I really appreciate all you did for us in arranging our tour of Norway. Everything worked out beautifully. The drivers were all there to meet us as scheduled. Your assistance made our trip go so smoothly and worry-free.

The arrangements for our tour of Moscow, St. Petersburg and the Baltics (Tallin, Riga, Vilnius) were perfectly executed. The guides were knowledgeable and professional in their delivery. All the hotels were comfortable and the breakfast buffets were varied and delicious.

Wonderful! Awesome! Enter Firebird. They had the perfect trip in their choices for what I wanted to do in the Scandinavian capitals tour. I would not hesitate to use Firebird again and I will surely recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks so much for a superb experience!

My Firebird Tour agent worked with me for several months to arrange the "perfect" tour for me & my husband to Finland. Everything I wanted plus more. We were pampered every step of the way---private drivers, private tour guides, top of the line hotels; everything was A+++++

You did a great job setting up our visit to Denmark & Berlin (Fairy Tale Denmark with Hjorring + Berlin). The personal tour guides you provided were friendly, well informed and gave very good tours. Our thanks again and if you want a grade, it would be an A+.

Thank you for planning the trip of a lifetime. Everyone in our group had a great time on the trip. The itinerary that you have planned for us was just what we were hoping. The trip more than exceeded our expectations. The memories that I had from the trip is priceless.

If you are planning a trip to Scandinavia then Firebirds tours is your "must use" travel consultant. We wanted high end and for what we requested as well as so convenient to our plans - where we could get our own discounted rates they were happy to allow us to book that one hotel ourselves no pressure - I can go on and on!

We found Firebird Tours on the web and began working with the company about 6+ months before our departure. We would wholeheartedly recommend using Firebird for a tour of Scandinavia and the Baltics. It is a great tour of an area rich in history, scenic beauty, wonderful old towns, and great people.

All in all it was wonderful to have your support in putting together my dream vacation to Scandinavia. I had precious little time to devote in advance so the services offered helped me tremendously. I had precious little time to devote in advance so the services offered helped me tremendously.

Our trip was perfect. Everyone was very happy with the arrangements and sad to leave Norway. For most part the weather cooperated so we were able to do almost everything that we were scheduled to see and then more. We all kindly thank you.

We had a wonderful time on our Luxury Private Scandinavian Tour! Definitely one of our best trips ever thanks mainly to Firebird Tours! Everything went smoothly - all drivers and guides were on time and did a great job. Thanks for making this such a memorable vacation!

About the tour, it was FANTASTIC, everything about the tour was good. Our guides could not have been more helpful with all their care, advice and planning for us. If we are fortunate enough to return to Europe I would love to do a tour in Russia as well as going to Greece.

What a wonderful job you did, planning our Ultimate Norway tour! We enjoyed visiting Norway so much and were amazed by all the special experiences incorporated into our trip. I have been recommending Firebird Tours to anyone who asks!

Norway is even more beautiful than we had imagined. Our Epic Fjords & Seas of Norway trip in the summer of 2015 was almost perfect. I will try to give you a day by day run-down of our experiences.

Pickup cars and drivers were so efficient, always on time and very friendly. Tourist guides were very knowledgeable, accommodating and cheerful, very helpful and suitable, allowing us to do the walking tours on a slow easy pace, especially for seniors like us.

Thanks so much for putting together a wonderful trip to Norway for us! The focus is on the environment which is awesome, not on entertainment. We learned so much about Norway, inspiring us to learn more. We’ve created some unforgettable memories.

The Norway Fjords trip was outstanding. One little glitch with a driver not showing up in Bergen but the matter was taken care of. The hotels, tours, trains, fjords and the cruise were just the best. You put together a wonderful tour for us and we are delighted.

All of the family really enjoyed our trip to the Baltic Countries and Scandinavia. Firebird took into account all of the usual highlights we wanted to visit as well as included the special family locations. The guides were knowledgeable and very helpful.

All of the transport connections went off without a hitch, the guides were all truly excellent, and the hotels chosen were first class. Thank you for making it so successful. We would certainly recommend you as a tour planner!

We all had a blast even though we had rain EVERY DAY IN THE FJORDS. The variety of things we did kept everything interesting. Actually, the group size of 6 was perfect and we were all so in awe of the beautiful scenery.

The guides were all excellent, very informed and personable. Our flight from Bergen to Stockholm was canceled by the airline. Firebird was responsive in rebooking everyone on a next day flight and finding rooms in a nearby hotel. Thanks for a nice trip!

I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. It was everything I had hoped for and more. Firebird's help was invaluable. Our guide in Oslo for our city tour was outstanding. Thank you for your planning and being available during our trip.

Great support prior to and during the trip. Firebird made the process to get a visa very easy. The itinerary was good and well paced, not hectic, never felt rushed. Hotels were excellent. All the guides were very good.

We are all finally back home in Australia after a wonderful trip. Every stage of the trip was really well organized. The transport was on time to pick us up from trains, planes, and boats. We would certainly recommend Firebird to any travellers.

Loved it all! It was wonderful to have rides to and from ports, very smooth connections. We loved all of our guides. Accommodations were all fabulous, great breakfasts and pretty comfortable rooms. We will definitely recommend Firebird to friends and family!

I want to thank you for planning such a great trip for us. All the logistics went off without a single hitch. The guides and drivers were all on time and professional and we couldn't ask for any better.

The Shakespeare Hotel in Lithuania was a great addition to the trip and provided a nice variation from the other business hotels we stayed in. Any issues that arose (missing drivers) was handled promptly by the support team. We had a very good holiday with plenty of diversity.

We were thrilled with how patiently Firebird worked with us prior to the trip to personalize the whole experience. We wanted to be relatively independent but to have all background logistics taken care of so that we did not have to worry about details.

A great trip and organization! Communication was good overall. We are very happy and will make arrangements for the next trip through Firebird. In retrospect, I would not take the train from Oslo to Bergen as it is a bit time-consuming.

The trip was great, and Firebird Tours did a great job organizing the entire tour and planning activities. Your representative was outstanding in helping to answer my questions through the time from booking to departure.

The trip was fantastic. We enjoyed it, plans went smoothly and our days (and nights) were filled with many activities. All in all, we loved the trip a lot!

What an awesome trip! Russia was beautiful, even in the wintertime. Our guides were amazing. So knowledgeable and friendly. I learned so much about Russia. The hotels were also excellent. All around great trip!

A very enjoyable trip! No luck with the Northern Lights on the arranged excursions but we organized an additional minibus "chasing the Northern Lights" in Tromso and were lucky to see a great display! Overall, a great trip!

Our group had a great time. We made all the flights and connections. The highlight was seeing the Northern lights which we did when we went on the cruise. Accommodations were great.

Thank you for the wonderful and fantastic job you did with reference to the logistical arrangements and choice of hotels for us on our trip to see the Northern Lights (which we were able to see on a couple of occasions) and also the visit to Lapland.

Firebird was awesome to work with. Our tour guide in Bergen was exceptional. We had one small transportation issue that was corrected in 15 minutes by Firebird. We will absolutely use Firebird again.

As for the organization of the trip, it was awesome. The actual execution of the trip was easy and pleasant. If only others in the travel industry were as helpful and organized. The accommodations you chose were all great.

I was really impressed with the guides we had on our city tours of Bergen and Oslo. The guides made our time there so much more special. This trip was both fun and educational, and I will never forget Norway!

My husband and I loved Sweden and Finland. To top it all, the northern lights put on a spectacular show for us on the final night of our trip. I would definitely book another tour through Firebird and highly recommend them to others.

I can't stop talking about it with friends and neighbors, we travel a lot by ourselves since we were never entirely satisfied with travel agencies, but this time, there is nothing to complain, we are really satisfied with the tour, we loved it!

We really liked the choice of places to see and the accommodation was always nice and handy to everything. All went to plan with no problems. I would happily, and already have, recommend you to our friends and would certainly consider doing another tour with you.

We really enjoyed the flexibility within the tour. The structure allowed a lot of time for us to explore each of the stops at our leisure time. The mix of group time and individual time was perfect. Overall, it was a great trip and we met some great people, and will certainly recommend your company to other fellow travelers.

I will rate the journey as a 5 star for sure. Guides were great! In Turku and for a day trip to Kuhmo guides went above and beyond taking extra time to show around without any additional charge, which was great. Really enjoyed the Arctic hotel in Rovaniemi.

We had a wonderful time and loved all the activities that we participated in. There was always somebody meeting us and getting us to our hotel. We also had great guides with the kayaking in Flam. Thank you, we truly had a lovely time.

What a fabulous trip you arranged for us!! Great guides, wonderful tours, loved the cruise up the fjords, outstanding food on board. Even saw Northern Lights twice! Also excellent accommodations in all cities. Thank you for all that you arranged for us!

We had a good trip, the hotels were great except for the one in Bergen. The guides were excellent and I loved personal stories about their families. They were informative and expressed their love for their country. Thank you for being so organized and we knew that we were well cared for!

All arrangements in Norway were excellent! My traveling companion, Mrs. Betty Smith and I are extremely pleased with the arrangements Firebird made for us. We look forward to them help in planning our next trip.

We stayed places that we would have never found ourselves. What wonderful places and what wonderful and informative guides. Thanks again for your part in this really great experience.

Couldn't be more perfect. Guides were fantastic. Drivers were prompt and professional. Hotels were great!

Excellent tour, well arranged. Guides were great and hotels went smoothly Admiral Hotel - Great Clarion Folkareet- Great The Frethheim - Great Clarion Admiral - Great Clarion Sign - OK The Clarion Sign is a nice hotel and good location.

Our Firebird Specialist set up a great trip for us. We really enjoyed all from the train experience to our two excellent guides, especially the lady that we had in Roskilde as she was very thorough and easy.

The trip met our expectations! The hotels were great central locations in each city, with wonderful breakfasts included! The tour guides were charming, informative and experienced! All logistics for the trip were professional and on schedule!

My sales agent from Firebird was excellent. My traveling companions said they waited ages for responses to emails. I never had that problem and I would consider booking a trip with Firebird Tours again. Trip was great. Thanks.

The tour was good. The visited cities were as expected. The segment to Flam and Bergan were especially good and highly recommended. Had there been a tour coordinator with us to maintain some consistency, as I had expected, the tour would have been as carefree as vacation should be.

Guides and transfers were right on schedule every time. It would have been nice to have a guide who traveled with us all the time, but I understand that would have been a different kind of tour. Transportation was excellent! Hotel locations superb.

This tour exceeded all my expectations. All the guides were very helpful in pointing out the history, the places to go to and authentic restaurants to dine in. In Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, Stockholm and Helsinki we had outstanding guides.

Enjoyed all of the capitals and all of the sights. Liked the idea of receiving a concentration of information from guide and then going out on our own. Hotel accommodations were very good not withstanding a couple glitches. We believed the tour was a very good travel experience.

Everything was perfect. Hotels were great. Smooth transition while traveling from one place to the next. Highly recommend. Thanks to our Firebird travel specialist for her assistance and quick responses always.

One driver did not turn up. Recovery was fast though. Otherwise, Northern Lights Seeking in Finland was perfect!

Had some problems with the overnight ferry reservations and one of the transfers went to the wrong hotel. Other than that, all went well during the Winter Scandinavian Capitals & Northern Lights Cruise. Guides were great and on time, easy hotel check-in.

Enjoyed the Swedish Winter Wonderland trip very much, great arrangements and one of the best experiences ever. Will definitely recommend and go with Firebird again in the future.

Our travel specialist was awesome, each leg of the trip was seamless and spectacular!!

I just wanted to say thank you! I had an amazing time and met so many amazing people. My guides were the best! Northern Lights did not want to be seen but the experiences were amazing.

One other thing is that we'd have liked to take a dog sled ride, but they were all booked up. We would like to have made arrangements ahead of time but didn't realize the need. Believe me, we will highly recommend this trip and Firebird Travels.

Everything about our Northern Light Discovery tour in Finland was wonderful. Arriving in Finland 5 hours before we could check into our room was a problem. The hotel did accommodate us and let us in early.

Our Norway trip was a success. Thanks again

Thank you for all your help in arranging this trip. We will certainly use Firebird again on our next trip to Scandinavia! The trip was absolutely fantastic! We had a wonderful time and saw most of what we had hoped to see. Each of the guides was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we were seeing.

The trip was truly fantastic. All of us really enjoyed it. This was just an amazing trip which I was so fortunate to share with 2 of my children. Thank you so very much for being a part of this and planning so many adventures and ultimately memories that will always be with us.

Everything went perfectly. Thank you so much for an unforgettable honeymoon and we would definitely use firebird tours in the future!

We had a wonderful experience on our trip to the Scandinavian Capitals. Came home with a whole new impression of the countries and Firebird did a good job in selecting sites fit for small groups. Everything was great, the tour guides, etc.

The Scandinavian Capitals & Fjords with Helsinki (September 2016) trip was wonderful. The scenery and history spectacular. The guides were friendly and accommodating. It was really nice being in a small group. We were able to bond quickly and hated leaving at the end.

Tour guides & drivers throughout trip always on time; punctuality a reflection of their desire to provide customer service. This trip will always be a once in a lifetime highlight for us. The scenery, the environment, and culture was a refreshing experience! Thank you

This was an amazing trip (Scandinavian Capitals & Fjords with Helsinki & Iceland, August 2016). I loved every moment of it! Wonderful, happy people, great fish, design everywhere. I am looking forward to more tours with Firebird.

As my tour has finished today just want to thank you for a great tour I was extremely happy with your itinerary and hotels and very good guides Would have been better in the CBD as this area is not great for walking around. Just some advice it's not a complaint as the over all trip was wonderful.

Thank you so much for recommending an individual group of 5 for our family. We had a great time on our trip to Scandinavia, all the connections worked like clockwork and the Hotels were first class. I would recommend Firebird tours to friends and would use Firebird in the future.

Our trip went off very well. All the arrangements went off well. All the hotel locations were wonderful. Our experience with Firebird tours was great! We would highly recommend your tour company to anyone interested in going to Scandinavia and Russia.

Thank you very much for your help in making our trip to the Scandinavian Capitals a most enjoyable journey. The logistics were excellent, and we had no problem meeting with by your guide. Furthermore, we were blessed with good weathers, and meeting new friends.

My sister and I had a wonderful time. Of course, the cities we visited were beautiful and full of interesting sights to visit, so it was easy to have a good time. Victoria did a good job as our tour leader, too. We have much to savor. Thank you!

It seems to take a while to “recover” from such a marvelous trip! Indeed, we had a wonderful time! All of the local tour guides were good, but our group guide in Oslo, stood out! The varied modes of transportation between cities was most enjoyable.

I had a wonderful time on the tour. Firebird Tours was a great choice for me. The small size of the group let us all get to know each other well, and made the logistics of moving us around from place to place quite smooth.

We had a great time. The guides in each city/village were good. The highlight for us was the Stegastein lookout in Flam (we organised this ourselves and were the only ones that went up) and the Fjord Safari in Flam. The train ride to Flam was also great.

I want to thank your team for the time and effort you put into organizing a wonderful and memorable trip for us. I think the timings you set up were just perfect. With all the traveling it was very effective to arrive in a new place not too early or too late. The locations of the hotels were perfect.
