My wife and really enjoyed our trip to Iceland—and we GREATLY appreciate the incredible amount of effort that went into planning our trip. We are both vaccinated, but didn't know what to expect. Traveling itself was easier then we imagined. Firebird team helped us arrange PCR tests for arrival/departure, and shared all requirements that Iceland has for indoor outdoor mask requirements. Basically you need to wear mask inside in all public places, and should be wearing it outside, but most people usually don't have it on. Our guide and drivers always were wearing mask and had extra masks and cleaning solutions with them at all times, which we appreciate. We plan to use Firebird again in the near future. Thank you very much for everthing!

While it is impossible to see all of Rome in one day, our excursion through Trip Advisor came close. Our guide Paolo was excellent. He took us to places that we had no idea were there. Having the skip the line tickets was well-worth the investment! Highly recommend!!

I walked straight from plane to exit - but driver didnt wait for me. I was not late! They were unable to offer a later shuttle. Told to get a cab.. disgusting service. Have not offered a refund and after no response from Expedia. I am now trying to dispute this via my credit card company.

The one down side is that even though this tour claims to offer a online ticket, it doesn’t. You need to go to their office across the street and pick it up. Not a big deal since it’s on the way if you come by train. The museum is gorgeous, a truly incredible experience.

Milano Centrale Railway Station, Piazza Duca d'Aosta, 1, 20124 Milano MI, Italy Destination Italia

Meet our assistant at Milan Central railway station: she will deliver your train tickets and vouchers and provide some useful information. Then get the high-speed train to Florence; the journey takes approximately 2h'. Once arrived, you will join a guided visit of the Accademia Gallery, a museum devoted to Michelangelo’s masterpieces. It hosts the original version of the David and several other works by the famous artist, including some examples of his peculiar technique called ‘Non-finito’ (‘unfinished’), where apparently incomplete sculptures seem to literally come out of the block of marble. After the guided tour you can remain in the museum as long as you like. You will also have time to explore Florence downtown independently. At the end of the day, travel back to Milan by train.

Inclusions: Assistant at the railway station in Milan (only upon departure), Round-trip high-speed train tickets from Milan to Florence - 2nd class, Accademia Gallery skip-the-line entrance ticket, Accademia Gallery tour with a professional guide (duration: 1h 15' - English / Multilingual Tour)

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Gratuities, Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option not selected)
