What travelers are saying

"I paid $107,000 to take my family on a trip to Patagonia. This company should be called “Unenchanting Travels”. They were absolutely unprofessional in every way. It started with their website payment service being very flawed. There were innumerable examples where the high-end and expensive hotels that they booked for us made egregious errors. These were five star luxury hotels that did not have English-speaking staff. Our point person wound up, becoming overwhelmed and was replaced by her manager, who is similarly grossly inadequate. They repeatedly misinformed us. One example was an occasion when they told us to take an Uber to a hotel where they had made a reservation for us, and indeed, no reservation had been made. When the flight of ours was canceled, which meant that we were going to miss our ship, it fell into our laps to do the planning to try to resuscitate the trip. They essentially told us that they were not feeling well and were overwhelmed. They were repeatedly blamed Problems, which came up on the hotels that they booked for us. I would not come close to this company again and would recommend avoiding them at all costs."

What travelers are saying

"Every part of our tour was magnificent and well planned out to perfection by Firebird's agent, Julia Hardy. All of the tour guides in Rome, Pompeii, and on the Amalfi Coast were friendly and experts in their knowledge of the areas we were visiting, My daughter and I especially appreciated that our daily tours did not consume all of our time, so we were able to explore on our own and create special memories of our time in Rome and Sorrento. Also our hotel accommodations were superb in both Rome and Sorrento. The hotel complex in Sorrento was unique and rich in history. All the staff at both hotel were welcoming and helpful. Without a doubt I will use your company in the future as I explore the world and have already recommended Firebird Tours to several of my friends. Thank you so much for this very memorable experience. Every part of our trip exceeded our expectations. Your company is fabulous."

What travelers are saying

"Our trip to Egypt was perfect- expert guides, drivers and airport reps. Our guides took us into tombs that others didn’t get to see, we had lunch in a private home with an Egyptian family, we had Nubian coffee made the old way, by a Nubian man, on the banks of the Nile. Everything went so smoothly. The timing was perfect too …our guides had us in temples, pyramids and tombs without crowds. I will use Travelous in the future and I have advised friends and family to do the same. Chris Bazos made all the arrangements for us. Our guides were Noha and Atef."
