Part 1 of our multi city Vietnam trip From booking and planning our trip to pick up at Hanoi International, and drop off at domestic ( to start the second leg of our trip) we felt supported and so well looked after. Trinh ( our guide) was always welcoming with a huge smile, also incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all our questions around the history of this incredible country. Le ( our driver) was always in on time and safe when transporting us around. We highly recommend this as a holiday destination and Odyonovo as a safe and reliable tour company.

ODYNOVO tours of China for 18 days, including Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, and Shanghai was amazing. The original tour package was for 14 days, but we worked with Mia Wang to customize our trip for our family to add extra free days to shop or explore on our own too. This was my family's first time to China, so wanted it to be a good experience throughout, and Odynovo Tours delivered. The tour was private one for our family of 4, and all transfers were seamless with pick up from airport with the guide, private van took us to our hotels, and to all the sites. All rapid train tickets booked, and 1 small flight to the next city. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They made our experience even more rich and enjoyable. Thank you Dina, Linda, Walter, Sunny, and Jay Jay!!! Guides were attentive to our needs, and made sure we safely got from one location to the next. They were also our own personal photpgraphers. We have the most family portraits compared to other trips. Day tours were also flexible if we were too tired, we could adjust the tour or have a rest back at the hotel. There was a good mixture of site seeing, and family activities, including calligraphy, making terracotta warriors, and making wishes. All food experiences were top notch, and accomodations very comfortable. The trip and itenaries were very well planned. Some accomodations 4 to 5 stars and luxurious. Only Chengdu location was a bit tight, but location still very nice. Would of been nice to have an extra day there to rest, since it was midway through our trip. We would recommend Odynovo Tours to plan your next trip. We would use them again for our future trips too.

Tour of Beijing Dina was our tour guide and mr wang was our driver. They both were very exceptional! Mr wang drove us in a very clean upmarket car and made sure that we were comfortable. Always had water ready for us. Dina was a great guide who knew about the history of Beijing, its culture and customs. It was very informative. She was pleasant and genuine. We enjoyed her company and knowledge. We would recommend them and odynovo for a trip in Beijing! The hotel odynovo chose was the regent hotel. It was worth the money. Mario and Angela from Perth WA

Best Great Wall experience We went to Beijing for 3 days and having a guide like Kurt made all the difference. He helped us modify our itinerary based on our energy level and made sure we didn’t miss anything important. Kurt’s knowledge about the history of China was delivered in a storyteller style which made it even more interesting and entertaining. He also took us to the best place to walk the Great Wall with an incredible home cooked style lunch after. Driver, An, was great too. The whole experience was amazing.

Excellent trip and guide We spent our time in Xi’an with David and he was such a joy to be around. He ticks all the boxes for a great guide and he’s funny and has a great perspective of the world. We went to the Terracotta Warriors and he helped us through the crowds to get a great shot and helped us choose great food. I recommend doing this trip with a guide and hope you’re lucky enough to get David.

Our trip to Thailand was everything! Definitely plan on returning! I am a forever customer of this company and not just for Thailand. The travel consultant Bruce Lu worked tirelessly to assure all my request were honored. I can’t tell you how many times I reached out to him and how patient he was. My local travel agents/drivers were very attentive, informative and over all friendly (Nick in Bangkok, Ying in Chiang Mai, Gay in Phuket). I hope business gets back to normal for them. Anyone traveling this places do request them!

Great Tour team in Beijing - Eva and Wang ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Way to Experience Beijing! We have just spent three incredible days exploring Beijing with our wonderful private guide Eva and driver Wang, through Orinoco Tours, and we honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly. Beijing is an amazing city, but it is also huge, incredibly busy and HOT in August! Having Eva and Wang looking after us meant we could simply relax, enjoy the experience and take everything in rather than worrying about tickets, queues, transport or where we were going next. Together we ticked off some huge bucket-list experiences — Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and, of course, the magnificent Great Wall of China. 🇨🇳 Eva’s knowledge of ancient Chinese history is incredible. Before every visit, she would give us an introduction to what we were about to see, explaining the history with so much passion, detail and enthusiasm. It made such a difference because we weren’t just looking at beautiful buildings and landmarks, we actually understood the stories behind them. And Eva certainly knows how to navigate Beijing! Her ability to fast-track us through incredibly busy attractions, avoid unnecessary queues and find unique little places to experience local food was worth every cent. When thousands of people are visiting the same places in very hot weather, having someone who knows exactly what they are doing is priceless. Hot Pot - Yum Local farmer restaurant near The Great Wall, best food so far!! Then there was our fabulous driver, Wang. Somehow, every time we finished somewhere, Wang would magically appear exactly when we needed him and get the car as close to us as humanly possible. 😂 After hours of walking in the heat, we loved him even more for that! A special request- pain in the belly emergency pit stop looking for a Western Loo, Wang made a route to a lovely hotel and saved the day.. and my belly. What really made these three days special, though, were the personal touches. Eva would surprise us with little gifts and lovely messages, and both Eva and Wang were warm, kind and genuinely lovely people. Their punctuality was absolutely perfect, they were always there and ready for us. If you are visiting a city as big and busy as Beijing and want to spend your time enjoying it rather than feeling stressed, lost or overwhelmed, we strongly recommend booking a private guide and driver and asking Orinoco Tours specifically for Eva and Wang. They didn’t just show us Beijing, they made our Beijing memories better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars for Eva and Wang two absolutely lovely humans who made our three days in Beijing unforgettable! 🇨🇳❤️

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.

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 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!

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.
