Superb tour guide, excellent scenic spots
First time in Harbin for my wife and 5-year-old son, and we had an amazing tour with Catherine. Catherine really knows Harbin inside and out, sharing lots of interesting history and making the tour super informative.
Catherine were incredibly patient and always kept the car warm for us, which was a lifesaver in the freezing weather! The tour itself was so convenient, and Catherine was very helpful and patient, always catering to our needs.
The main attractions we visited were the Ice and Snow Festival, the Snow Fair, and the Siberian Tiger Park—all incredible experiences. I’d highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Harbin, especially if you don’t speak the language. It’ll save you so much time and effort. Even if you do speak Chinese, taking this private tour will make your trip truly worthwhile and memorable!

Yangtze Explorer Cruise (Yichang - Chongqing)
As part of the larger China tour we boarded the Yangtze Explorer at Yichang for a 4 night cruise to Chongqing. Note: it is a ca. 2 hour journey from Yichang airport to the port and the reverse cruise journey is 3 nights.
 
The service was excellent. I’m almost not exaggerating that if you dropped your napkin they would catch it before it hits the floor. A special mention for our waiter, Alan in this regard.
 
Wine is plentiful at meals so unless you’re planning a late night I wouldn’t bother with a drinks package.
 
Overall a lovely journey and a very well run ship. Credit to ship manager Teddy for that who was always on hand to mix with guests.
