What travelers are saying

"We had a trip of a lifetime. Tim was very flexible in handling the planning of the itinerary. I wanted this to be a special trip for myself and my husband to celebrate our milestone birthdays and have always wanted to visit Italy to experience the sights, culture, food and warmth of the people. Tim was cognizant that my husband’s knees were not the best and so advised on the hotel proximities to the activities and events with that in mind. He also understood that I wanted to do this trip in as cost effective manner as possible and so was flexible when it came to allowing me to utilize our RCI points to book hotels and just advised on location. Tim passed the baton over to Alessio when it came to executing on the itinerary and Alessio did a marvelous job despite the time crunch given the trip was still within busy season of end of Sept - beginning of Oct. A week before the trip, my husband fell and damaged his knee but luckily was able to address this with an orthopedic doctor and we were able to proceed on our dream trip. We visited Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Capri island, Amalfi Coast, Florence and Lucca and experienced many of the activities and sites through private tours arranged through Amal Italia with the most knowledgeable, accommodating guides who worked together with the transfer personnel to make it all happen seemlessly. On trips to the Vatican, Uffizi Gallery and Pompeii as examples, the tour guides knew exactly how to condense the time spent to focus on the key highlights, telling the history while linking the intricacies and nuances of the artifacts being shown. Whether it was booking a cooking class in Sorento, visit to a vineyard, spa massage in Pompeii or a dinner overlooking the sea, Alessio did his utmost best to make this truly a memorable experience. We would not have been able to cover half the activities on our itinerary were it not for the very professional, flexible, knowledgeable and accommodating help on logistics and events through Amal Italia. Thank you Tim and Alessio for a once in a lifetime experience!"

"We were given the wrong hotel name from Franca in Zagreb. We were also given the wrong hotel name from Franca in Dubrovnik. Very disappointing and we were thoroughly inconvenienced! Your team is not as professional as we would have as expected... They need to be retrained/coached."

What travelers are saying

"Found company on the internet and we were a bit nervous. Alick Peng put a 12 day tour together for us, our dates didn't fit in with a full guided tour, and it was magnificent. We enjoyed every day, hotels, food and especially the guides, Ayumi especially. The itinerary was first class and we even managed to travel between towns on our own. Tickets, routes, and guidelines were clear and easy to follow. The only time we got lost was trying to get out of Tokyo station. Once again, thanks."

"Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for a fantastic holiday in Argentina! We loved the country and the people. The highlights for us was Iguazu Falls, the wine tour & the little hotel in Mendoza and the Glacier trekking. The Glacier was amazing!!! All flights were on time and your guides were always there to meet and great. Please pass on a special thank you to Carla who looked after us in BA and kept in touch all through our travels. Thanks again to Lujan, who did a fantastic job putting it all together and we will recommend you and your company to all our friends & family."

"Normally, I don't feel like writing reviews, but I felt compelled to do it for Athens Insiders. I made the decision to travel to Athens in the summer of 2012 in order to avoid the commotion that was predicted to result from the Queen's jubilee. As usual, my work kept me busy right up to the last minute, so I ran out of time to do anything fun for my week-long trip. I learned about this young group of tour guides for Athens and its vicinity from a friend. I had a wonderful experience. I got in touch with Daphne, who gave me email recommendations for Athens attractions to see, inquired about my preferences for local cuisine, and then devised an itinerary for my trip. In addition to visiting the typical suspects in Athens (Acropolis, etc.), I also chose to travel to Delhi and spend a night at a campground there. And I had a great time, honestly. We visited the attractions when there were few visitors and spent the busiest times outside of Athens rather than being herded around like cattle. I was taken to incredible tiny eateries (the well-known tavernas), marketplaces, and other regional shops."

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.""

"We just returned from a 7-night trip to France. We had a group of four that ranged in age from 18 to 74. The team at Paris-Toujours created a wonderful seamless plan that worked well for the entire group. Before and during the trip, communication was very good. We received a detailed roadmap just before our departure. Our requests were incorporated in such a nice way. The entire trip went to plan with no issues. The hotel selection was lovely. Laurence, our tour guides, drivers, and the hotel staff were welcoming and made the trip magical. Anne-Marie and Marie, our tour guides in Paris, were knowledgeable and fun to spend time with touring the city. Our guides in Champagne and the Loire Valley were very good as well. All four of us loved the trip and wished we could have stayed longer. We will return! Thank you Paris-Toujours for the fantastic memories of Paris, Champagne, and the Loire Valley."
