We left Russia feeling very satisfied
Traveled to RussiaOverall, the experience was excellent! Firebird provided more than enough information and covered many of the main points of interest. However, intensity could be broken down with a short break mid-tour each day to collect thoughts and process. But in general, we left Russia feeling very satisfied.
