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!

Winter Travel to Harbin. Lovely Seeing All The Different Places
We booked a three-day tour with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was such a great experience! In the freezing cold weather of northeast China, having someone to arrange everything for you is a must. They made our trip so easy and enjoyable.
The only challenge for us was adjusting to the cold, coming from Australia, where it’s 40 degrees in summer! But Asia Odyssey Travel took care of all the details, so we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. We also booked their airport pick-up and drop-off service, which was super convenient and smooth.
I highly recommend Asia Odyssey Travel to anyone planning a trip to Harbin—they truly made our winter adventure unforgettable!

A Perfect Winter Escape. Very informative and concenient
I just wrapped up the 6-Day Harbin Winter Tour with Yabuli Ski Resort and China Snow Town, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Asia Odyssey Travel made everything so easy and enjoyable from start to finish.
Skiing at Yabuli was a blast—perfect for both beginners and seasoned skiers. Then, exploring China Snow Town felt like stepping into a winter fairy tale. The snow-covered cottages and festive atmosphere were magical!
Harbin’s highlights, like the Ice and Snow Festival and St. Sophia Cathedral, were equally amazing. The colorful ice sculptures were even more stunning in person!
The guide was fantastic—super organized, friendly, and full of fun facts. Every detail, from transportation to accommodation, was seamless. If you’re looking for a fun and snowy adventure, I can’t recommend this tour enough!
