Odynovo Tours is a company created by the founder who had great memories of traveling and want to provide travelers with the best service and memories traveling. I’ve researched weeks to find a tour company and specialized with China tours. I’ve emailed 5 companies waiting for their tour information. John Hu with Odynovo was focused on planning the tour of few places I wanted. Other companies provided general information without specific follow up. Every step in this booking this tour was simple because of his experience working with clients. Day one of our tour with their driver and guide was amazing. My husband was so happy and gave them a great tip. To hear my husband say that this is the best trip and great memories with the best guide and driver is what I knew he would say. Odynovo’s vision is part of what make it special. Great memories great time. I look forward to book our next trip. Thank you John Hu for planning it all. Everyone is amazed and loved our tour.

5+ star experience - THANK YOU Sara and Dana! We had the pleasure of having Odynovo help us with an 8-day trip across Zhangjiajie, Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou. We had the pleasure of having Sara as our guide in Zhangjiajie, and she genuinely made the trip. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly proactive — checking weather conditions in advance, adjusting our route to beat the crowds, and pre-booking cable car and shuttle slots so we never wasted time queuing. Her knowledge of the national park was excellent. She knew exactly which viewpoints were worth the detour, when the light would be best for photos, and shared loads of context about the geology and local culture that we'd never have picked up on our own. The Avatar Mountains and Tianmen Mountain were highlights, and she paced the days perfectly so we never felt rushed or exhausted. Beyond the logistics, Sara was just genuinely lovely to spend time with — patient, attentive, great English, and quick to sort anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to helping us navigate payment apps. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She was more like a friend to us than a tour guide, and we really appreciated the snacks she got for us when we first arrived! We then had Dana as our tour guide during our trip to Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou, and she played a huge role in making the experience truly memorable. From the moment we met her, Dana brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to every day of the tour. Her cheerful personality was infectious and helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere for everyone in the group. Dana was always available whenever we needed assistance, whether it was answering questions, helping with arrangements, providing local recommendations, or simply checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Her dedication and attentiveness made us feel well looked after throughout the trip. She was highly knowledgeable about the places we visited and shared interesting insights that enhanced our appreciation of the culture, history, and natural beauty of the region. What stood out most, however, was her genuine care for the group and her constant effort to ensure that everyone had a wonderful experience. THANK YOU Sara and Dana and would recommend 100% to anyone wanting to travel to China!

Our recent trip to China exceeded every expectation, and we are incredibly grateful to Odynovo for making it such a memorable experience. From the very first stages of planning, Cathy Hou at Odynovo was attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us create the perfect itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to enjoy the excitement of traveling without the stress of managing complicated logistics. We encountered no difficulties throughout the trip, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We visited remarkable destinations, including the majestic Terracotta Warriors, the vibrant city of Shanghai, and beautiful Chengdu. Each experience offered a wonderful balance of history, culture, and modern life. The accommodations were excellent, transportation was seamless, and the local guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share the stories and traditions of their country. As first-time visitors to China, we especially appreciated how supported and cared for we felt throughout the journey. Even though we did not speak Mandarin, we always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Whenever we had questions, assistance was readily available. The organization, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us confidence and peace of mind every step of the way. We would like to extend special thanks to our guide, Vivian, who was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to help us, including assisting with shopping in the bazaar and making sure we could order meals even when we were not touring with her. Her kindness, knowledge, and willingness to help made our experience even more enjoyable. We would also like to thank our driver, Mr. Li, for ensuring our safety and comfort throughout our travels. His professionalism and care were greatly appreciated. What impressed us most was that the trip felt personalized rather than scripted. We were able to immerse ourselves in China's rich history and contemporary culture while knowing that every transition had been carefully coordinated behind the scenes. That level of care allowed us to simply enjoy each moment and create lasting memories. China turned out to be one of the most fascinating places we have ever visited, and Odynovo played a tremendous role in making the experience so special. We returned home with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for Chinese culture, and stories we will be sharing with family and friends for years to come. If you are considering a trip to China, we wholeheartedly recommend Odynovo. Their expertise, personalized service, and dedication to creating meaningful travel experiences truly set them apart. Thank you, Odynovo, for an exceptional travel experience. We would not hesitate to travel with you again. The Kaiser Family

We worked with Owen for our kids Japan trip and he was great! Our kids really appreciated all of the tour guides. They provided great information on the sites they visited, They told them about facts and places they would not have known if they were on their own. Everything was well planned considering they went to multiple cities (Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto and Osaka) and they really enjoyed all of the plans. They went to the Grand Sumo tournament, rickshaw rides, the geisha show, the ryoken and onsen, temples, museums, Nara park, the monkey park and more! The constant communication during the trip made everything so simple. Highly recommend!

Odynovo Beijing group tour with Tracy We are a family of three and decided to do a very affordable small group guided tour. Our guide was Tracy from Odynovo. Tracy is extremely professional and punctual, superbly organised and a wonderful person to get along with. Her English is great and she knows her city very well. She was able to tailor our trip to our needs and was able to pivot easily to ensure we had the smoothest entry to all the best sightseeing locations at the best times. Without Tracy we would not have had such an amazing stress free holiday. I would happily return to Beijing and have Tracy as our guide again, she went above and beyond our expectations.

We have used Odynovo for three trips, most recently to both Vietnam and Morocco in 2025. I am sorry it took so long to write this but I felt compelled! We had such an excellent experience on both trips that we are now seeking their services on a trip to China for 2027. We work with Jasmine Zhou who is warm, personable and has great attention to detail. In each case Odynovo showed great flexibility when we wanted to do something not on the usual itinerary. On several occasions I wanted to book my own hotel and they were completely okay with that. This ability to truly customize the itinerary without any negativity at all is why I will keep coming back. They have brilliant itineraries already in place, but, for instance, we wanted to add a cooking class in Vietnam - no problem! We wanted to take one itinerary and add Sapa onto it - again no problem. In Morocco, they routinely book you with only a driver. We preferred both a driver and guide and, once again, they made that happen. We highly recommend Odynovo.

Highly recommend Odynovo for family trip to China We had a wonderful experience using Odynovo for our first family trip to China. There were 10 of us, ages 17-64. This was a wonderful first trip to China. Odynovo handled all of the logistics and everything went perfectly - we made several significant shifts in our itinerary including adding an extra traveler, requesting adjustments to sites and one hotel (because we had a recommendation not due to a problem), and one adjustment to flight times. Odynovo processed all of these flawlessly. Our guides (Alice, Jessica, Sonny, Rooney) and drivers were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They were always on time and flexible according to our needs. They were experts at navigating sites and crowds - having them guide us definitely enhanced our experience and saved us much anxiety and stress. We feel like this was a trip of a lifetime and hope to use Odynovo again

I had a 3 week private tour of China with Odynovo. It included Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an but also Xinjiang and the Gobi Desert and the Tibetan plateau. I had several different guides and they were all wonderful, caring, reliable and with excellent English. Before I went I discussed in great detail with Owen Zhou what I wanted to do. He always replied promptly and gave me very thorough answers. He tried his best to give me what I wanted and I had a wonderful trip. So much so I am using Owen again for a second trip and once again he is sending me very detailed answers and suggestions and patiently making changes when I want them.. Really excellent service and highly recommended.

A wonderful trip to China with Odynovo"s help. Owen Zhou, an agent with Odynovo, arranged a fantastic 3 week trip through varied parts of China, ranging from the main cities to the Tibetan plateau and Xingjiang. He always replied promptly and with great detail and patience to meet my requirements. The guides he arranged were also fantastic. So all in all it was a great trip, and the service from him and Odynovo was so good that I am doing it all over again in a second trip.

Family of 10 in Beijing Our family of 10 (four teenage children, four adults, and two seniors) toured key sites throughout Beijing with John from Odynovo. The trip was well-paced with each day full of sites and food. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to thoroughly explore each area. John taught us so much about Chinese and Beijing history, culture, monuments, lifestyle, and cuisine. He had a very easy way of sharing information with us that was casual and conversational and never felt like a lecture. John helped us with every detail and took great care of us. We celebrated a birthday during our trip, and John even organized a cake for our birthday dinner. Also, Mao (our private tour bus driver) got us to all of our destinations smoothly and safely. Don’t hesitate to book your trip with Odynovo and ask for John!

Fantastic trip to Guilin and Yangshou We enjoyed our trip to Guilin and Yangshou. Thanks to Maple with Odynovo for arranging everything and special thanks to Ellen (Jiang) Xu for taking great care of us. Jiang was there with us throughout our trip starting with the airport pick up to leaving us at the airport on our way to Shanghai. She took of our vegetarian diet restrictions including temple buffet close to the Guilin Bravo hotel, dinner at the Secret Garden in Yangshuo and rice noodle in Guilin. We also enjoyed the Li river cruise, river front show in Yanshou and the country side walking tour. Jiang has excellent knowledge of the various sites and explained all the tourist spots very clearly and answered all our questions with lot of patience. We also enjoyed our walk around the lake in front of our hotel in Guilin.

I had a private tour in April with Odynovo in China, a tour which included Beijing, Shanghai and Xi’an and also far flung areas in Xinjiang and the Tibetan Plateau. Before I went I discussed what I wanted in great detail by email with Owen Zhou who always replied promptly and gave me really thorough answers. He tried his best to do what I wanted and so did all my guides who were all fantastic. Very caring and obliging, with very good English.The service was so good and it was such a good experience that I am doing another trip to China and once again Owen is discussing with great patience and detail what I want and advising me. Hoping this one is just as good!

Fresh impression from visit to an old city After a forty year hiatus we returned to the historic city of XI’an. The city wall remained the same, and so are the terra cotta soldiers, but everything else has changed. But for the meticulous scheduling of Odynovo our tour planner and the skillful time management of our tour guide Betty Jiao, we would have been overwhelmed by the sheer crowd of visitors from all corners of the world. In two short days we were treated like royalties to a grand feast within a theatre restaurant and then as savvy locals tasting regional delicacies in the ethnic night bazaar. All the while we were given a detailed refresher course on Tang dynasty. All these made our stay in XI’an most enjoyable and Betty our most desirable guide!

Tour of China We visited China with Odynovo and every element was fantastic. Our tour organiser, Alex, was highly responsive and helpful when helping us plan our itinerary. We visited Beijing, Xi'an, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, and Shanghai and in each location the train/flight transfer was absolutely seamless. Our guides were excellent; highly knowledgable and friendly. We would thoroughly recommend Odynovo to anybody looking to explore this amazing country.

10-day China tour We recently completed a wonderful 10-day tour of Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong with Odynovo as part of a small group of nine travelers. In Beijing, we visited the Forbidden City, the Hutong area, and Tiananmen Square on our first day. On the second day, we explored the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall and also visited the Olympic Bird's Nest and Water Cube. Our guide in Beijing, Mr. Randy Zhu, was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. He knew the city well and took us to restaurants that served delicious Peking duck. On our departure day, Randy accompanied us to the train station and provided clear instructions on boarding our train to Xi'an. We all loved Randy and appreciated his excellent service. Upon arriving in Xi'an, our guide, Ms. Candy Zhang, greeted us at the train station and escorted us to our hotel, where she helped with check-in. The following day, we visited the Terracotta Warriors Museum in the morning and explored Muslim Street in the afternoon. Candy has decades of experience as a tour guide in Xi'an. She is warm, caring, and made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond by helping us book tickets for the famous Legend of the Camel Bell show. When it was time for us to leave Xi'an, Candy stayed with us at the airport until we passed through security. She was truly exceptional, and we all missed her after leaving. In Shanghai, we visited Fuxing Park, Tianzifang, and the Bund waterfront, where we enjoyed taking photos of the impressive skyline. We also toured the beautiful Yu Garden and the Shanghai Museum. Our guide, Ms. Vivian Pan, was helpful. She and our bus driver even worked overtime to ensure we could attend the Shanghai Royal Banquet Dinner Show in the evening. When we arrived in Hong Kong, we were welcomed by our guide, Mr. Martin Cheng. Martin is energetic, engaging, and clearly knows Hong Kong inside and out. He took us on the historic Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, guided us through the Mid-Levels Escalator area and Central Market, and introduced us to the local favorite dim sum restaurant, Luk On Kui in Sheung Wan. Martin also provided fascinating explanations about the history of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum. He and our bus driver were well-prepared and expertly navigated the busy streets of Hong Kong. Overall, our trip to China was outstanding. We learned a great deal about Chinese culture, history, and modern life. We appreciate our travel agent Queenie Yang of Odynovo for arranging our hotels, guides, transportation, and transfers. Everything was organized professionally and executed smoothly. We highly recommend Odynovo to anyone considering a tour of China.

We used Odynovo tours for our family trip to China where we visited Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Guilin, Yangshuo, Zhianjiajae, and Shanghai. They prepared a wonderful itinerary for us, tailored to everything we wanted to city making accommodations as we progressed through the trip. In each city we had a private guide/driver who would meet us at the airport/train station and be with us until they drop us off at the next airport/train station. The guides were extremely nice and personable. They were happy to show us their native cities, most of them who were raised in the cities they showed us. We were very happy that they helped us enjoy our vacation.
