What travelers are saying

""Our journey with Firebird Tours to Japan was a remarkable experience that unfolded over 11 days. Initially unfamiliar with the company, we were fortunate to work with Alessandra Scola, who patiently guided us through the booking process. Looking back, choosing Firebird was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made. The tour's logistics were impeccably managed. At every stage of our trip, seamless transportation was provided - whether picking us up from airports, train stations, or transferring us to our hotels. Each day featured a dedicated personal guide who expertly navigated us through different locations and cities. Their digital infrastructure was equally impressive. The tour app was user-friendly and intuitive, making navigation and information access a breeze. More importantly, their customer support was exceptional and consistently attentive. Several instances highlighted their outstanding service: When our flight was delayed, they proactively sent a text message confirming they would still be waiting for us. During a minor navigation mix-up at a train station, they promptly reached out via text to ensure our well-being and help us reconnect with our driver. After we had to cancel a bicycle tour due to a previous day's accident, they followed up compassionately, even offering additional support and expressing concern about our situation. From start to finish, our trip was flawless. Firebird Tours demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to customer service that truly elevated our travel experience. They didn't just meet expectations - they exceeded them in every possible way.""

Visits

Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Three Gorges, Three Gorges Dam, Yangshuo, Yangtze River, Yichang

Highlights

  • This is one of our most comprehensive trips in China, covering huge distances and taking in key destinations from north to south with plenty of variety in experiences and sights along the way
  • Zip through the country from north to south on its efficient high-speed rail network.
  • Take through the iconic scenery of the Yangzi River as you meander through the dramatic Three Gorges on a three-day cruise
  • No matter how many guide books you have read, nothing truly prepares you for the grandeur and immensity of historic sights like the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Leshan Big Buddha and the Terracotta Army. However, the country's modern man-made sights refuse to beoutdone, and you can see the modern equivalence of those ancient feats in the skyline of Hong Kong and the Yangzi River's Three Gorges Hydroelectric dam
  • Get up close to giant pandas in Chengdu and learn about the preservation work required for this ancient species.

Beijing, Huangshan, Shanghai

Highlights

  • China is a land of contrasts. From soaking up the bright city lights of Shanghai’s waterfront to exploring the unearthed Terracotta Warriors outside of Xi’an, you’ll get to see it all for yourself!
  • Spend two nights at the base of the Great Wall in a locally run guesthouse, and follow in the footsteps of soldiers from hundreds of years ago when you trek the lesser-visited Gubeikou to Jinshanling section.
  • This adventure offers plenty of opportunity to get active among the wonders of China. Explore city laneways on walking tours, climb the steps of the Yellow Mountain, trek the Great Wall and cycle countryside lanes in Hongcun.
  • Two overnight trains means you'll maximise your time in each destination, get to know your fellow travellers over a game of mahjong, and have a real sense of the vast size of the country.
  • We’re all about authentic experiences, so go local every step of the way with an experienced local leader, public transport, and family-run guesthouses and lodgings wherever possible.
