Firebird Tours started in 2007 as a travel agency in New York. It first focused on organizing private trips to Eastern Europe and then extended its coverage to Scandinavia, Southern Europe, and Britain.
During the last 15 years, Firebird has crystallized its approach to business that can be explained in three principles. Firebird customers should have a fantastic experience planning their trip and all the support from knowledgeable and helpful destination specialists during this process. Second, the journey itself should consist of services provided by the best suppliers in class - hotels, guides, transfer companies. Finally, that trip should cost less than if it is booked through another travel company. Usually, only luxury travel agencies can tailor trips and deliver best-in-class services, but they typically charge 40% or more than Firebird Tours.
