5.00We 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.

5.00Sera 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.

5.00I 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.

5.00First of all Samantha was súper helpfull, kind and understanding because our first arranged flight to Harbin was cancelled so we hace to re scheduled our visit and Samantha easily re scheduled the date of our private tour, she speaks perfect english and its súper easy to comunicate with her by we chat. Next Mr. Zou was our day guide, allthough he doesnt speak english, we can communicate easily with his phone and transistor. The car was in perfect condition, clean and confortable. Mr Zou arranged everything for us, the itinerary of the day, and the tickets of the parks (sun island and ice & snow world without any wait and without lines), he took us to visit Sofia's church also and to have a good lunch. His attention was friendly, amazing and outstanding. I highly recommend this tour for people that want to visit Harbin in 1 day or 2!!! Everything was perfect!!! We where a family of 4 and came from México City.
