I planned a 12‑day trip to Thailand—Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Krabi—for a group of seven people. At the beginning, I felt overwhelmed and unsure where to start. After searching ‘Tour to Thailand’ on Google, I found Odynovo Tours and contacted them. Ms. Gianna replied promptly the next day with a detailed itinerary. Although I was unable to respond for over a month due to personal circumstances, Ms. Gianna remained incredibly patient and accommodating. She assisted with every change in dates, hotels, and activities, and always provided clear answers to my questions. The trip was extremely well‑organized, including the names and contact information of our guides, which made transitions between cities, tours, and airports smooth and stress‑free. I am very grateful to Ms. Gianna and Odynovo Tours for an exceptional travel experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thailand. Both Tao and Gade were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently punctual. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful trip, and we truly appreciated their kindness and support. We began our tour in Bangkok with our guide, Tao, who spoke excellent English and was exceptionally knowledgeable. He guided us through the Grand Palace, the sacred Emerald Buddha, and several other renowned temples. The long‑tail boat rides and visits to the vibrant flower markets were wonderful. Tao was very attentive to our food preferences and took us to a traditional Thai and seafood restaurant where the meal was outstanding everyone enjoyed their lunch. In Chiang Mai, we stayed at the Smile Lanna Hotel, a beautifully designed property featuring intricate wood carvings, lush greenery, and vibrant flowers that created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our guide, Gade, was incredibly accommodating and helpful. She provided insightful information throughout the tours and assisted us in capturing great photos during our Thai cooking class, which was fun, memorable, and delicious. She also brought thoughtful gifts for the children. Our visit to the Elephant Nature Park was pleasant but somewhat disappointing. We were excited to feed the elephants and had prepared watermelons and bananas, but we did not have the opportunity to feed them. Instead, we walked through the park while being directed away from the elephants. Although the walk itself was enjoyable, we did not see elephants in the water or have any direct interaction with them as we had anticipated. Krabi was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed unforgettable beach and pool time with our family. The hotel was lovely, and the staff were exceptional. Throughout the entire trip, all guides and drivers were wonderful and helpful. We highly recommend Odynovo Tours. Their communication was excellent from the initial planning stages through the trip and afterward. We were extremely pleased with their service and truly appreciated the journey they helped create.

Lovely time in Shanghai We had a wonderful 3 days holiday in Shanghai as part of a 14 day trip to China. Our amazing tour guide Bonnie Yu and driver Mr Liu made our visit so special. We were given vip treatment. They were always on time, cheerful and true ambassadors for their county. Bonnie went the extra mile getting umbrellas when needed, introducing interesting local food, recommending shows. It was our first stop in China and we felt truly spoilt. We would use Odynovo again.

After Chongqing, Zhangjiajie was our next destination of our China trip. After a smooth train ride we arrived at Zhangjiajie where our Odynovo guide Tracy welcomed us. During the transfer from the train station to the resort, we received a lot of valuable information about this scenic area and its history. Unfortunately, during the first day of our stay it was raining cats and dogs but our guide provided shoe covers so we could visit Tiamen Mountain without getting our feet soaking wet. The rest of our stay we enjoyed the sunny weather while visiting the Avatar mountains. For the transfer to Guilin, we had to leave very early but our guide accompanied us the station and handled the check-in. Again a wonderful episode of our China trip

To Say I am Happy is an Understatement To say I am happy with Odynovo is an understatement. It started with me emailing them for my China trip. I told them what I absolutely wanted to see, that I would be going for 2 weeks, and what my budget was. Within days, Queenie emailed me back with details of a trip adding sights and experiences I never thought of and all within my budget. It was exactly what I was looking for so I signed up. They took care of all the tour guides, hotels, and transfers such as riding the bullet train and flying to new destinations. The hotels were great and the best was in Shanghai where I had a view of the Shanghai towers. All the tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. They all showed me areas I could explore on my own after the tour finished for the day. From the first airport pickup to the last airport drop-off, I was well taken care of. I am planning to visit South Korea and Thailand next year and I will be using them again, especially requesting Queenie.

Just returned from an 18 day private tour to China (Beijing, Xian, Shanghai) and Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh) organized by Bowen @ Odynovo and all was outstanding. Bowen was very helpful in suggestions and accomodating with changes we made along the way. All of the tour guides were excellent, especially Candy in Xian and Ching (Thi Thanh Trinh) in Hanoi. Each of the day's activities immersed us in the highlights of each location as well as the local villages experiencing farming, cooking, river delta trips etc. We couldn't have asked for a better 18 day experience. Thank you Bowen (and all the tour guides) for a great trip!

Amazing experience in Japan Our family of three had the most amazing trip in Japan with Odynovo’s tour. They planned most of our transportation (which was so helpful) and provided exceptional tour guides and a driver to help us learn about and explore this beautiful country. Toru was our wonderful guide in Tokyo, Hakone, and Kamakura. His knowledge, guidance, and adventurous spirit were a highlight of our trip. O-San, our dependable driver, showed his superior driving skills especially on the tiny streets of Kamakura. His services were very appreciated. Yoshiko was our guide in Kyoto, and she was outstanding at sharing history and facts while keeping it fun and engaging. Many thanks to Don, our contact at Odynovo, who helped plan and modify our trip from early pre-trip questions to assistance while in Japan. The hotels booked by Odynovo were perfect for us (although we didn’t spend too much time in our rooms!). This was certainly a trip of a lifetime!! We look forward to using Odynovo again.

Great tour of Xian! Just returned from an 18 day trip to China and Vietnam organized by Bowen @ Odynovo. One of the highlights was Xian and our tour guide Candy Zangh. She went over and above to help with getting a few things we needed. Rather than point out a store, she would either go with us, or call and have it delivered to the hotel. She was friendly, knowledgable and engaging. All of the sites visited (Terracotta Army at Emperor Qinshihuang’s Mausoleum, City Wall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Wild Goose Pagoda, Muslim Quarter) were well worth the stop. Couldn't have asked for a better itinerary, hotel or guide. Thanks Bowen and Candy!

Amazing 5 Day Tour in Beijing from Shangai A big Thank You to Allen who co-ordinated our private tour for my wife & myself in Beijing from Shangai. Even though we had to change our dates due to the recent typhoon in Shangai, Allen still organised our changes without any hesitation & with so much efficiency. Right from the moment of picking us up at our hotel & taking us to the bullet train station in Shangai, Odynovo was so well organised and efficient. Eva our guide in Beijing was extremely friendly, helpful, efficient & knowledgeable. Our 5 day tour with Eva and Driver Wang went smoothly due to their efficiency and punctuality. Eva's knowledge of all the sites was amazing! Eva shared her culture & heritage with us, which she was very proud & passionate about. She knew the best times to visit all the sites, avoiding unnecessary queueing during the peak times. With her insistence on waking up really early to see the Great Wall we were the first shuttle bus to leave for the site & had the pleasure of enjoying the Wall without the thousands of visitors who were thronging to get in when we were on our way down. That was due to Eva's experience & I can't thank her enough for her gentle insistence on us going early! The experience was amazing! Eva also introduced us to the local culinary dishes which were delicious. Thank you so much Eva, Wang, Allen & Odynovo for making our trip so enjoyable! We will definitely do more holidays with you and highly recommend your company to our family & friends.

Great tour! Everything with the private tour was excellent! Our guide, Thi Thanh Trinh (Ching) was the best. Very knowledgeable, passionate and engaged. You can tell she enjoys the job. The highlight was the one night cruise on Halong bay, but all of the sights were great. You won't be disappointed Ask for Ching.

Exciting adventures in Guilin and Yangshuo! We had an excellent time in Guilin and Yangshuo. We stayed for 2 1/2 days and we had a chance to experience a variety of different activities as well as to enjoy the magnificent landscape. Our Tour guide Teresa Deng was excellent and our driver was wonderful too. Teresa tended to our every need she helped grandpa get a haircut and we were able to have the kids get dressed up and take photos with the traditional Chinese costumes by the riverbank in Yangshuo. Teresa picked us up and stayed with us until the very end at the train station platform. She also got is snacks (ice cream, local fruits) and beverages- that was a delight! Our favorite times were spent on the ATVs over water and rocks, as well as on the raft down the FuLi river. The 3.5 cruise to enjoy the Guilin mountain scenery was amazingly beautiful and the cave in Guilin that was breathtaking as well. We would highly recommend this trip with Odynovo as well as with Teresa as one of our best tour guides!

Trip of a lifetime!! I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience touring China. This trip truly exceeded every expectation, and that’s entirely thanks to the incredible team of guides, drivers, and local managers who took such great care of us throughout our journey. In Shanghai, Mr. Frank Ji was wonderful from the moment we arrived. He was professional, knowledgeable, welcoming, and made navigating such a vibrant city feel effortless. He gave us wonderful insight into both Shanghai’s history and its modern culture, and we always felt completely taken care of. Our time in Zhangjiajie with Ms. Michelle Ye was absolutely unforgettable. Zhangjiajie was one of the most breathtaking places we’ve ever visited, and Michelle made the experience even more special with her warmth, organization, and knowledge of the area. She helped us truly appreciate the beauty and history of everything we saw. In Chongqing, Mr. Luther Zou brought such great energy and expertise. Chongqing is such a unique and massive city, and he made exploring it exciting, comfortable, and easy. His recommendations and attention to detail helped us experience the city in a much more meaningful way. Finally, in Beijing, Ms. Tracy Liu was exceptional. Visiting incredible historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall was a highlight of our entire trip, and having Tracy there to explain the history and significance behind what we were seeing made those experiences even more memorable. She truly brought the history to life. I also want to give a huge thank-you to all of the drivers in each city. They deserve so much recognition for everything they did behind the scenes. They were always there when we needed them, helped us travel safely and comfortably between destinations, and made getting around unfamiliar cities completely stress-free. Even during long days of touring, we always felt safe and well taken care of. Their professionalism, patience, and kindness did not go unnoticed. And of course, a special thank-you to the local managers in Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, and Beijing for coordinating everything behind the scenes. Having such a dependable team supporting us throughout the entire trip gave us tremendous peace of mind. Overall, this was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Every guide, driver, and manager we encountered was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our trip special. The level of care we received in every city was incredible. Thank you to the entire team for making our journey through China so unforgettable. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives, and we would recommend this team without hesitation to anyone visiting China.

2 days in Xi'an We only had 2 days in Xi'an, but thanks to Alex at Odynovo & our tour guide, Ms. Jo, we were able to see a lot. Well organized and on-time, our transfers, hotel, tours, biking, and show, all went smoothly. Ms. Jo spoke fluent English and provided us with a lot of historical information. Tip: go see the show "Song of Everlasting Sorrow. "

Multi-city tour of China Our group of 4 adults + 3 teens just spent 14 days on a multi-city China trip arranged by Alex X. Although our schedule was packed tight, everything was well organized, from domestic trains & flights, hotel transfers, guided tours & activities, restaurant recommendations, shows, etc. The nature sites we saw were jaw-dropping (Guilin & Zhangjiajie), the cities were clean, technology in Shanghai is ultra-modern, the food delicious, the people all friendly. We loved all our guides: Rose (Shanghai), Sharon (Guilin), Lucas (Zhangjiajie), Ms. Jo (Xi'an), and Tracy (Beijing). All the guides spoke fluent English, provided historical information, took excellent care of us, incl. giving us ponchos on rainy days, fans and ice cream on hot days, daily cold water bottles, guiding us to shortcuts, taking photos for us, and so much more. We were not expecting so many little extras from the guides & Odynovo. We loved everything about our trip (except the squat toilets and massive crowds at some of the sites!). China is huge and we will go again to see more of this beautiful country. Shout-out to Lucas (Zhangjiajie): we love the photos that you took and the farewell song you sang for us too!

Cathy from Odynovo had been assisting us with our Asian trips for 4 years now This year was Cambodia and Cathy organised a package that covered the history and heritage of Cambodia with full driver and guide services in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap I highly recommend Cathy and Odynovo for organising your holiday trips Nothing is left to chance and the communication and follow up is exceptional

Another awesome experience with Odynovo! I have used Odynovo twice now and it is an amazing service. From the travel agent to the guides in each city, this is incredibly easy to use and perfect for a family trip. You can shape your trip any way you want, adding and removing recommended elements, and the trips are generally just with your family. They provide all transportation and directions so you don't have issues, help you order food and navigate tourist sites that have unique entrance requirements, and make the trip amazing. The guides work with you related to what you want to see and do, free time, and recommendations to adventure on your own. They are also good at knowing how to avoid crowds, finding picture places, and recommending activities based on your style. I will continue using them in the future!

Best tour guide and wonderful experience in Xi’an! We had an excellent trip in Xi’An although we only had two days there. We wish we had more time there because the city was amazing with so much history and cultures. Our tour Lisa Yue guide was fantastic. She’s likely the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Lisa reviewed the itinerary at the beginning of every day and printed out paper copies to show us the cultural and geographical information to explain the trip details - this made it much easier to see and understand. Lisa was super caring and she would take care of our little ones. My father-in-law had broken his reading glasses, and Lisa found an extra pair for him. That was very thoughtful of her. She truly went above and beyond to help us with our every need. Despite the long queues, Lisa stayed with us the entire time and would try her best to navigate the queues to get us past the crowds as best as she could. Lisa spoke very fluent English and has a wealth of knowledge to share. And she has so much experience being a tour leader in the past that she made the trip seamless and truly enjoyable. She was meticulous in her care and tried to accommodate our whole party. She made recommendations to the itinerary depending on the weather, how tired we were, and added time when we needed it. I would highly recommend Lisa with any tour in China.

A few days in Beijing Sisi and Queena were the best guides. We spent a few days in Beijing and treated us like an Emperor and Empress. We did all of the highlights and recommended restaurants and additional spots to check out. Highly recommend!
