Fabulous Must Do Tour with Excellent Guide Sera
Deanna C,,Feb 4, 2026

5.00A definite must do experience that takes 2 days. The tour was fabulous with excellent fun guide Sera and experienced great driver, Mr. LI. Some of the best highlights were the incredible Harbin Ice & Snow World, Snow Festival, Zhaolin Park Lantern Show, and the exciting Siberian Tiger Park, and the Central Street pedestrian walk. Sera also knew the best places to grab some lunch, especially for delicious Harbin BBQ. She also takes wonderful photos and speaks English very well. Sera was an amazing guide for both days, and we had a fantastic time. Thank you Sera & Mr. Li!
Amazing visit of Harbin’s many unique attractions!!

Amazing 2 Day Private Tour of Harbin -

5.00Our family of four absolutely loved our 2 day private tour of Harbin at the beginning of the Ice and Snow Festival in Harbin in late December 2025. Our tour guide Joanna was brilliant and looked after us so well and our driver Joey was also very friendly and funny. Having a private tour is the best way to see as much as possible in a short space of time and to have a warm car to get into after each attraction was delightful. Joanna and Joey also took us to some great local restaurants for lunch and when I told Joanna that I couldn't use a chinese toilet, she went out pf her way to find me western toilets. My husband is a swimmer and when he mentioned this to Joanna she changed our itinerary slightly so we could watch the ice swimming. I also want to mention Samantha, the tour company operator, who was so professional. Every time I reached out to Samantha both before booking our tour and after booking our tour, she responded almost straight away. She made sure that our tour included all the attractions we wanted to see and when our luggage went missing on our flight to China she was very responsive with suggestions about what we could do if we arrived in Harbin without our thermal under garments. We also used this company to hire all our warm gear - coats, pants, boots. hats, gloves and scarfs. The gear was basically brand new and was so warm. it was delivered to our hotel shortly after we arrived and everything fit perfectly. Again this was also organised through Samantha. I highly recommend using Harbin Private Tours. If we ever come back to Harbin we won't hesitate to use them again.

5.00Our guide Sera was excellent. She made sure we were always prepared for the winter cold. She also always managed to get us to the front of the line and saved us a lot of time. Other times she saved us money by getting us in free since we were over 70. Highly recommend her.

5.00Despite Harbin's extreme cold, we had a fantastic day there thanks to our knowledgeable and attentive tour guide, Joanna. She brought us to several excellent local restaurants and gave us a lot of information about everything. Mr. Chen, the driver, was also a really pleasant person. If you want to save time and energy in this chilly weather, we strongly suggest this service 👌👌
