A grand time in Beijing We spent 4 nights in Beijing and had an amazing time with Sisi as our guide. Her local knowledge was second to none. Odynovo and Sisi are easily the best tour company and guide I have ever used.

Xi’an with Odynovo Had a lovely time visiting Xi’an and the terracotta warriors in particular. This was part of a 14 day China tour. Our guide Jessica Kou was very sweet and knowledgeable. She took us to some excellent restaurants and was very attentive. Would use Odynovo again.

Wonderful time in Beijing with Odynovo My husband and I have just spent 3 wonderful days in Beijing thanks to Odynovo tour guide Randy Zhu. He showed us around Beijing sites, The Forbidden City, The Great Wall and the Temple of Heaven amongst other places. He has so much information about Beijing and its history. He is also funny and has a great sense of humour. He looked after us and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. He speaks excellent English which was so helpful as we speak no Chinese. I would highly recommend Odynovo and tour guide Randy Zhu.

He looked after my husband and I above and beyond. We felt very comfortable and safe with him. He also speaks very good English which is a great help as we don’t speak any Chinese.

A personalized tour of Beijing we highly recommend We were looking for a guide to help us navigate Beijing on fairly short notice and this company did a great job of putting together a package that included hotels, driver, and a guide. We wanted to see highlights of Beijing and also the Great Wall of China. When we arrived at the airport, we were met by the guide for the week, Albert Zhang, and taken into the city by our driver, Mr. Jin. They booked us at the Regent hotel, and the guide helped us get checked in. The next day, Albert met us at the hotel and took us to the forbidden city which, despite the rain, was really fascinating. The original schedule called for us to have a hot pot lunch and a Beijing duck dinner, but we realized that was way too much for one day, so Albert rearranged the schedule to spread those things out. After a local lunch, we got to see some other parts of the central area of Beijing and learned a lot about the history of the place before returning to the hotel The next day, we were picked up again and driven to a terrific spot on the wall where we could walk in both directions for quite a distance and could see just how great this structure really is. We then went to a second spot at a town called Watertown, also known as Gubei, where we saw the sunset from the wall and then, in the town where we were also staying, saw a live multimedia show that showed the building of the wall. This town is fairly newly built and sort of Disneyland Ish so it is a neat place to walk around. Albert met us again the next morning and we drove back to Beijing where we visited the summer Palace, also a very impressive site, and we finished the day with the Beijing duck meal we had been promised. Delicious and worth waiting for. We had time on our own the last day, so we found a driver that drove us to Tiananmen Square and also the temple of heaven, the two sites we had not yet seen. Having to navigate these two sites on our own helped us appreciate having our guide all week. To end our trip Albert picked us up one last time, took us for a wonderful hot pot meal and then deposited us at the airport, making sure we were all checked in. Overall, this is terrific experience, and we were impressed with the people, the culture, and the quality of the tour. We would highly recommend it.

Beijing tour Our trip to Beijing was three days. Our guide, Felix, was knowledgeable and attentive. We asked to add the Lama Temple to the itinerary, and he immediately agreed. Thanks also to our driver and the entire Odinovo team.

Tom Wu is an excellent tour guide for Guillin / Yanghoue. Our visit in Guilin was excellent. As a tour guide we had Tom Wu, who made our experience very special. He was going through the Long-Ji rice teracces at a path without tourists. Additionally he made a cycling tour through the landscape of Yangshoe.

A Perfect 10/10 Beijing Experience! Thank you, Alice & Mr. Wang! Our trip to Beijing was nothing short of spectacular, and we owe a huge part of that to the incredible team at Odynova. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of, but the true stars of our journey were our guide, Alice Zuo, and our driver, Mr. Wang. Alice was an absolute gem. Her knowledge of Chinese history and culture is vast, and she brought every site to life with fascinating stories and historical context. We visited the iconic Great Wall, which was a breathtaking experience—Alice helped us find the best spots for photos and guided us along a route that wasn't too crowded. She was equally passionate at the Summer Palace, explaining the intricate details of the architecture and the royal family’s history. Exploring the Forbidden City felt like stepping back in time, and Alice navigated us through the massive complex seamlessly, ensuring we didn’t miss any highlights. Finally, the Hutong tour was a highlight; she gave us a genuine glimpse into the local way of life, which we would have completely missed without her. A huge shout-out to Driver Mr. Wang as well. Navigating Beijing traffic is no small feat, but he handled it with such professionalism and calmness. The vehicle was always spotless, and he was incredibly patient, always waiting for us with a warm smile and cold bottled water ready after a long day of sightseeing. Odynova clearly knows how to curate a flawless experience. We never felt rushed, the logistics were perfect, and their attention to detail was second to none. If you are looking for a stress-free, deep, and enriching tour of Beijing, look no further. Thank you, Odynova, Alice, and Mr. Wang, for making our trip so memorable!

Tour of Xian Jessica and mr joe were fantastic help in Xian. Joe was always punctual and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Jessica was incredibly informative with her narrative on the history and detail of the emperors, the terracotta warriors and the highlights of the city. It was very impressive! We would highly recommend odynovo tours with these guides in China. Mario and Angela from Perth WA

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.

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.

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! 🇨🇳❤️
