What a lovely tour. Thank you Sam - really enjoyed. Was a privilege to have someone who is a good english speaker yet who grew up in Harbin and knew the local history and customs. Sam is very flexible in the way she structured the tour and even on the day itself was willing to make changes. I can highly recommend Sam for tours in Harbin. The city itself was also the most interesting we have seen in China and the Snow and Ice festival is for sure an event to attend.

On my third day touring with Samantha, I reflected on how grateful I was to meet her. Each day she showed me new and interesting things about Harbin. On day one, she introduced me to all the sights and shopping that were walking distance from my hotel. I felt comfortable getting around after that. I highly recommend her - she made my trip enjoyable!
