Highly recommended trip around China!
The tour organised by odynovo was fantastic. We didn't know what to expect but the trip went very smoothly and was stress free. We travelled from Beijing to Xian to chengdu and to shanghai. The hotels were all fabulous and in a great location. We were picked up and dropped off at every airport and train station and brought from place to place by our tour guides and drivers in each city. We had no real extra costs as majority of our food was paid for and our tickets were all included in our original payment. We learned so much from our fantastic tour guides, particularly Niki, Lily and Zoe. We would highly recommend traveling to china in this way, as without out guides we would have struggled to communicate and find our way around these cities, without knowing the Chinese language. We would definitely use odynovo for travelling stress free again!

Absolutely amazing company…don’t look anywhere else!
We had an amazing trip to Hanoi/ Ninh Binh/ Mai Chau/Halong Bay thanks to Tuan, our guide; Nguyen, our driver; and Allison, our travel consultant with Odynovo. Tuan was amazing sharing history and cultural life in Vietnam. He answered all of my questions with such patience! Nguyen was wonderful driving us everywhere with great care and a smile every time he was holding the door open with a bottle of water waiting for us. Special thanks goes to Allison for her expertise and patience in planning this extra special trip for us! Her attention to detail and assistance every step of the way before and during the trip truly was amazing! It wasn’t our first trip with Odynovo and it won’t be our last! Thank you Odynovo for hiring such fabulous employees!

Good time in Vietnam
We had a few days in Hanoi, which included an overnight stay on Orchid Trendy Cruises in Halong Bay. Our guide Trinh was awesome, providing us with lots of history, culture and sightseeing. She even made time for a couple extra stops for us! Trinh was a great help at the airport as well, making sure we were doing the right things. Thanks for a great trip Trinh!

Tour guides and drivers were very polite, friendly and helpful. My wife and I are past seventy years old so that entrance to public places like museums and parks were free of charge, but we had been charged for those tickets at time of booking the tour.

Kind and helpful English speaking guide in Beijing
We took a tour to Tiananmen square and the Forbidden City and also to the Great Wall at Jinshanling with guide Alice. She was so kind and helpful and had many interesting stories about the history of both places. She advised us of the food and drinks to bring to the wall because it is quite remote and there's nowhere really to buy anything. She really took care of us making sure we were safe on the challenging parts of the wall. She helped us navigate the crowds at Tiananmen square and the Forbidden City and advised us the best route to see what we were most interested in. The driver Mr Zhang was great too, finding places to stop on the way to the wall with nice clean toilets (not always easy in China!). Alice's English was good and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her if you're in Beijing and looking for an excellent guide.

2 amazing days in Xi’an with our guide Jessica
We would like to thank Jessica (our guide) so much for the magnificent tour in Xi’an, exploring the Terracotta Warriors and other remarkable sites on her hometown (Muslim Quarter , City wall and the Hanyangling Museum). Her deep knowledge about the different dynasties and how they impacted modern life in China and beyond was not only enlightening but felt like a captivating history lesson. We are truly grateful for the enriching experience Jessica provided and for her dishes suggestions.We cannot give her less than 5 stars as guide in Xi’an.

Hanoi Dream Vacation
Mr. Hung did a fantastic job in taking care of us and showing us true Hanoi culture, history, and food. We could not have asked for a better guide, we were truly blessed. Thank you Hung for everything you did for our family during our stay in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay. It was a once in a lifetime trip for us and will be very hard to beat. Hung has been practicing Spanish with our family during the whole trip and I must say his Spanish is outstanding! He will be ready to guide tours in Spanish in no time! I will be recommending Odynovo Tours to everyone, and especially to request Mr. Hung in Hanoi.

After dreaming of a visit to India for years, we finally decided to go for it and use the travel expertise of Alick Peng of Odynovo who had helped us with a previous, successful tour. Alick offered a skeleton plan for the tour that we modified until happy with the package. Alick was very patient, responsive and knowledgeable throughout the tour preparation, which made us comfortable. The tour was a two-week fly/drive starting and ending in Delhi, touching eight cities in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. The whole thing was flawless...we were met at each location by an Odynovo representative, introduced to a local guide, and visited the cities while driven around in a comfortable car. The amount of logistics going into the tour preparation was elevated and, potentially, prone to mistakes. However, everything went extremely well and the execution was perfect. The various guides were well prepared and complemented their knowledge of the local history and culture with a desire to explain the local costumes, add anecdotes, provide help when needed, while doing this in a friendly and gentle way. It is thanks to Shiv, Vimal, Jatin, Jardish. Gifu, Narinda and Virandra that we feel that we have a better understanding of India and its culture. There was a good amount of driving involved in this tour which had been a bit of concern for us. However, the driver who took us through the traffic of these cities and the various highways, Mr. Pyare Lal Bhatt, was excellent. Always on time, ready to help, flexible and friendly, very familiar with the environment, and the best at navigating through the challenging traffic of India. We owe Payre our gratitude for making us comfortable throughout the tour. We recommend him without reservations and will ask for him, should we return to India.

Hanoi with Odynovo andJennifer
We travelled from Australia and Odynovo arranged everything for us. In Hanoi, our guide, Jennifer, was very attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly for us. Right from when she met us at the airport through to various personal tours around Hanoi, we were never left to struggle on our own. Our next stop is Ho Chi Min city and we are looking forward to the next leg of our Odynovo experience

Spend another day in Siem Reap
Beautiful new airport was a pleasant surprise and our guide Sun and driver John were ready to show us Siem Reap’s highlights! Angkor Wat is certainly majestic as are many of the temples and palaces in the area. We loved the “jungle temple”, not for its Hollywood fame but for its natural beauty of the cottonwood tree roots and moss that are reclaiming this archeological site. Sun “Sopheak” was outstanding! His knowledge of the area and English speaking skills were truly appreciated. Sun’s personal story added to the intimacy of Siem Reap’s history and brought the region to life. He gave us great recommendations of additional activities after our literary was complete. We only planned 2 days touring and could easily have spent more time in this area. Although more than 1,000,000 people live here, Siem Reap is not chaotic like some other cities in SE Asia.

Our visit to Hanoi
We arrived in Hanoi to the welcoming of Mr Thanh and Mr Hein. They were an excellent team. Thanh is very knowledgeable and offered us many insightful details throughout our trip. We really appreciated that they were always early or on time. Hein was a safe driver and we were very happy with his services. We would very highly recommend them for a tour guide and driver. They are excellent.

2 days in Beijing guided by Roy
We had an exceptional experience with Roy as our guide in Beijing for the last 2 days. He not only showed us the city’s incredible historic points (Great Wall at Mutianyu, Forbidden City, Tiananmen square, Temple of Heaven), with deep knowledge and enthusiasm but also recommended fantastic local dishes that added so much to our culinary experience. Roy went above and beyond by helping us find our seats on the train as we continued our adventure through China. His attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend Roy to anyone visiting Beijing!

My recent trip to the Golden Triangle in India was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, the experience was awe-inspiring, educational, and so much fun that I can't help but give it a full five stars. The knowledgeable guides made a significant difference in how we enjoyed the tour. Their insight into the history and culture of each site was impressive, and they were incredibly kind and engaging throughout. What really stood out was their ability to adapt the itinerary to suit our interests—whether it was diving deeper into local traditions or exploring off-the-beaten-path attractions. They truly went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience possible. Our driver also deserves a special mention. His service was impeccable. He made our journey not only convenient and comfortable but also cheerful with his upbeat attitude. It was comforting to know we were in such capable hands, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy the breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cities we visited. The food during the trip was another highlight! Each meal was a delightful experience, bursting with flavors that showcased India’s rich culinary heritage. I indulged in so many delicious dishes that my taste buds were on a constant adventure! Overall, I cannot recommend this tour enough. For anyone considering exploring the Golden Triangle, this is the way to go! I’m already planning my next holiday back to India with Odynovo, as there’s so much more of this wonderful country I want to discover. Thank you to everyone who made this trip so memorable!

Excellent experience!
The temples were beautiful! Our guide was friendly and good at taking pictures too! He was also very attentive and full of information. The driver was always ready with cold water bottles and cold damp towels to refresh ourselves. The food was great! I recommend Odynovo highly. It was my first trip with them and it won’t be my last! Thank you!
