Great Tour!!!

Our tour in Harbin was a really nice experience. We had VIP tickets for Ice and Snow World, which let us skip the lines — definitely worth it. The Ice Festival was magical to see in person, and the slide was super fun. Our driver was good and professional, and our guide Samantha was friendly, very knowledgeable, and her English was perfect. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable tour and a great way to experience the festival without dealing with long lines.

We want to sincerely thank Samantha for pass three days spend guiding us through her beautiful city Harbin. It was a real pleasure to have Samantha with us, not only because of her extensive knowledge and professionalism, but also because of her kindness, patience, and warm personality. Samantha made each day both enjoyable and enriching, and we truly appreciated her flexibility, thoughtful recommendations, and all the little touches that made our visit so special. Thanks to Samantha, we will leave with unforgettable memories, a deeper understanding of the local culture, and a genuine fondness of the city. It wouldn’t have been the same without Samantha! We wish Samantha all the best in her future tours and hope our paths will cross again one day.

Thank you so much for taking time to write such kind reviews. It truly warmed my heart to read that our three days together mean as much to you as they did to me. Guiding you through Harbin was a joy from start to finish. I loved sharing the little corners of the city I cherish, listening to your stories, and seeing how much you embraced every moment, whether it was trying new foods. Take care,. Hope to you again in future in Harbin,

Flexible and thoughtful tour

Sera our tour guide is helpful and thoughtful. She proposed to set out earlier so that we can enjoy the beauty of the snow and ice world which also allows us to catch the fireworks at 8.30pm which is amazing. She sponsored us to take the metro which makes it more convenient to beat the traffic and avoid the crowd. Thanks alot Sera for the flexible and thoughtful arrangement.

Stunning vistas

I went a few years ago actually but I can't enter the dates on the drop down. I was shown around the ice world and also the snow sculptures by Samantha and one of her assistants. It's a stunning and spectacular vista, and Harbin itself with its interesting Russian history and shops is worth a visit in itself.

Operator response
