“Il nostro tour è stato di grande soddisfazione, sicuramente perché le attrazioni invernali della città di Harbin sono uniche e imperdibili, ma anche perché la nostra guida Sam e la nostra autista sono stati estremamente cortesi e disponibili riguardo ad ogni nostra esigenza oltre ad essere professionali e preparati. Stante la temperatura percepita di -30C durante tutta la giornata, potersi muovere in auto riducendo l’esposizione al freddo alle sole visite e non agli spostamenti, permette di essere più efficaci e di arrivare a sera senza assiderare…😂”

“We opted for the non-tour guide package but honestly it felt like the guides were with us anyway (in a great way). They planned out the whole itinerary, with time stamps, to guide us throughout the journey. They also checked in on us periodically to make sure we were alright and that was really sweet of them! Since there was a pick up from our accommodations, our driver was early and helpful letting us get our oxygen tanks at better places with better rates! 10/10 would recommend this tour package to anyone!”
