We have taken three private tours with Odynovo, and enjoyed them all. The guides were generally very good, and we were always met as we had arranged. In addition, if an issue developed during the tour, the people at Odynovo were available and able to fix the issue. We would definitely use them again in any future trips. I also liked working with Odynovo in planning the trips, because we were able to enjoy their expertise in the areas we were traveling (China, India and Southeast Asia), and also able to focus on things of interest to us.

Trip to Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An We are finishing up the Vietnam portion of a three week trip to Southeast Asia with Odynovo. Our guide for Hanoi was Tuan and driver was Chi. Navigating the chaotic roads in Hanoi was done with ease by Chi and Tuan was a very knowledgeable guide who shared so much about Vietnam’s political history, especially while visiting Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum and house. We were well taken care in Ninh Binh and Halong Bay as well, as Tuan handled everything so there was no planning on our part. His help at the airport was greatly appreciated.In Hue and Hoi An, our guide was Vu and driver was Dung. They also were very competent, friendly and helpful. Vu led our tours at a nice relaxing pace and shared cultural insights as well as historical information in a well paced manner. So far, we are very pleased with our trip arrangements.

Me and my family traveled using odynovo's services through China. We had a wonderful experience with Ms Maggie in Beijing. She was extremely helpful and friendly both when telling us about the history of China and when guaranteeing my food doesn't contain incredients I am allergic to. It was lovely learning about the historical places of Beijing from her. We felt secure being led by her and she always did her best to show us and explain us all about Beijing. After that we were taken by Ms Lisa, who was extremely comprehensive in her stories about all of china's history. She told us about he major events which shaped Chinas past, while showing up both the historical terracotta army and the modern day open markets of Xi'An. Out third guide was Mr David in Guilin. He immersed us into the nature of China and made out stay both relaxing and full of breathtaking landscapes. Thanks to his directions and suggestions we went through some local cooking classes, bicycling, and experienced a wonderful night show in the rivers if Yangshuo. Our last guide was Mr Mark in Shanghai. He was very friendly and broight us across the modern city of Shanghai. He also was very supportive in our bargains with he local sellers. A small suggestion I have for this particuyguide is that he validates his information. He was very talkative, which brought to the friendly atmosphere, but several times he shared incorrect information (hotel ammentinites, history, food allergens). Overall we were very satisfied with our trip. The organization was extremely good and all the stays and transportation was in very good condition. The only place I can suggest improvements is the van we were transported with across Shanghai (which was a little smelly), but I believe this can be fixed with a quick deep cleaning procedure. All drivers were also very good at their job, prioritizing our comfort and safety in all parts of the trip.

Our trip to Siem Reap Our trip to Siem Reap was an experience we will not forget thanks to the flawless organization from Odynovo and the outstanding guide Daling who generously shared with us his love of country, its history and its magnificent sites. His expertise, professionalism, and grace made our trip memorable. Our driver Vary navigated through the streets of Siem Reap with diligence, and his patience, made our touring very safe. We always appreciated the bottles of cold water and cold towels that Vary had waiting for us. We highly recommend Odynovo and if traveling to Siem Reap, please make sure you are guided by Daling and driven by Vary.

Delighted with our time in Siem Reap with our Odynovo guide and driver We used Odynovo for our month-long tour of Southeast Asia for our group of 4. One of the highlights was our time (4 days) in Siem Reap with our tour guide Hean and our driver Mister Smith. Hean is a wealth of information, speaks good English, always with a smile on his face. We learned not only about the temples and ruins, but about people's lives and what it was like for him growing up after the war and his time as a monk. The driver also spoke English, was always polite and courteous and offered the added touch of providing us with cold face clothes infused with essential oil to refresh us after exploring. Cold water was always on hand in the van. Everything went smoothly and we particularly enjoyed our transfer from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap that included 3 sightseeing stops and lunch.

Wonderful experience in Beijing We had a great time in Beijing with our wonderful guide Dina. Apart from being a very knowledgeable guide, she was also helpful with great food recommendations, a professional photographer, and overall made us feel safe and taken care of. The driver she worked with was also very professional, careful, and kept a clean car. I would recommend the tour company and Dina to our friends and family.

Unforgettable experience in Xi’an! Had an excellent experience with my wife. Cathy was an amazing guide, very knowledgeable and fun. The driver was also very professional and had a large clean car. 10/10! Not only did we enjoy our itinerary, Cathy endulged us in Chinese culture, traditions, and history. We could tell that she really loves her job. Don’t miss the Silk Road theater show!

Phillippines Tour Highly recommend Nikki and Odynovo. Nikki did a great job attending to all of the details before the trip, and her recommendations for tour guides and accommodations were excellent. Nikki was also "on it" during the trip when I needed to make slight itinerary adjustments and wanted opinions on what became the best solution. Travel arrangements were also spot on, without a hitch. Thanks Nikki!

A Memorable Egypt trip Our private Egypt trip with Odynovo is the best. We felt so safe and comfortable through the trip and all the guides and managers are so friendly, they went above and beyond for making our trip memorable. The great advantage of having a private tour is to have the whole place without large tour crowds. Me and my wife are able to relax and enjoy at our own pace and also able to make last minute changes and requests to our itinerary which made the trip even more enjoyable. The guides are not just random tour guide but specialized Egyptologist’s and very knowledgeable people. Dahabiya sailing is a something everyone should experience in once lifetime.Special shoutout to our guide in Cairo Nihal and our guide in Luxor Mr. Hosny Shehata for sharing their knowledge and expertise. Our Cairo Rep Ossama and Luxor Rep Mohamed were so helpful as well.

Thailand is a great country to visit and Odynovo Tours helped to make it great. Odynovo Tours and their senior travel consultant Lily Guo planned a great Thailand trip for my wife and I. Our Thailand trip was 17 days. All of our tours were timed to avoid the crowds and their tour guides and drivers were excellent. We visited more places and waited in almost no lines. Odynovo made ur trip more enjoyable than if we had tried to plan it on our own. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Phuket are all worth visiting.

Awesome trip to China We have just returned from a 10-day holiday to China organised by Odynovo. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our travel consultant Mola was very helpful and responsive throughout the planning process, and came up with a great itinerary that included everything we wanted to do. Our local guides - Mr Fish in Xian, Jenny in Luoyang and Tracy in Beijing - were all friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had an amazing time largely because our tour guides took care of everything. We didn’t have to think about how to get from one place to the next. We highly recommend Odynovo and will be going back to them to organise our next trip.

Amazingly memorable Japan trip visiting 10 cities We had an amazingly memorable trip to Japan for two weeks in June 2025 where we visited around 10 cities: Tokyo, Fuji Mt. area, Hakone, Takayama, Shirakawa-go, Kanazawa, Nara and Osaka. Our tour planner at Odynovo Lily Guo was extremely meticulous in her approach planning our trip. Her recommendations were highly valued. It was not easy to plan a trip across Japan with all kinds of transportation tools and private transfers, and she did an excellent job! She made our trip very easy and comfortable. We highly recommend Odynovo, not only for their wonderful planning but also for their fantastic tour guides that spoke excellent English and courteous and punctual private drivers at each of the cities we visited. We learned so much about Japan thanks to Odynovo!

He made us feel very comfortable, and took care of everything so we didn't have to think , even in the airport, he checked us in. All in all, a wonderful experience in Hanoi, thanks to Khan and Quyen!

18 Day China Trip Dad daughter high school graduation trip to China in December 2025 with Odynovo Tours. We loved everything about the trip with iconic visits to the historic and epic Great Wall, Forbidden City and Xi'an /Terracotta Warriors as well as food and nature based choices. Everything went seamlessly and we felt very welcome by the locals . Inter city travel was by high speed train and one flight with a dedicated driver where required. December was chilly in Beijing but none of the sites felt crowded. This made our photo opportunities much easier and minimal entry wait times . We will definitely be back as so much more to see. Special shout out to our amazing Odynovo guides across the various cities. Thanks to Lilli in the capital Beijing, Jonathan in ancient city Pingyao, Fish Lee in historic Xi'an, April in panda central Chengdu, Teresa in beautiful Guilin and Vivi in amazing modern Shanghai. Cheers Ian

Excellent Odynovo Tour of Mainland China! My husband, daughter, and I recently returned to the U.S. after our time in mainland China and Hong Kong. The Odynovo 10-day tour Alex Xie planned for us in mainland China went extremely well. We were very happy with each of our tour guides (Tracy in Beijing, Emma in Xi'an, Nancy briefly for our transfer from the airport to the train station in Changsha, Mike in Zhangjiajie, and Kevin in Shanghai) and drivers in each city. All the guides were friendly, punctual, and we were able to communicate very well with them in English. We appreciated having their assistance with our arrivals/departures at the airports/train stations - they made things easy for us. All the drivers drove carefully, and we felt safe being transported by them. The attractions the tour guides took us to in each city provided us with the highlights we were seeking. Each one of the hotels was beautiful and in an excellent location. We appreciated having access to a self-service washer and dryer (both fast) at the hotel in Xi'an - this may have been available at the other hotels too, but we did not need to do laundry until then. The lunches that were included in our tour were authentic and tasty. The only trouble we occasionally had, which had nothing to do with Odynovo, was making payments on Alipay and We Chat, which are highly used in mainland China. We downloaded both these apps before we left the U.S. and we put a couple of credit cards on each, but sometimes our transactions were declined. This is something U.S. citizens may want to explore with their credit/debit card providers before traveling. We recommend having extra cash on hand. We greatly appreciate the efforts of Alex Xie to organize this tour for us and answer our questions during the planning stages. We highly recommend the tour we took and Alex's service (including to our local travel agent), and we hope to have the opportunity to travel again with Odynovo!

We have never traveled with tour guides before, but Odynovo’s bespoke Egypt tour fit our needs perfectly. There were no big tour groups but a personalized experience from beginning to end. We felt taken care of and listened to from the start. All of the arrangements, from hotels to guides to drivers to site tickets, were personally arranged for us. Airport representatives got us through the paperwork of visas; drivers and guides got us to our hotels and reminded us of our daily agendas, and even arranged for special meals on the road. The sites and activities were well-chosen and rewarding. We were surrounded with care from start to finish. A special shout-out goes to two exceptional guides. Ali Galal (Lower Egypt sites) was extremely knowledgeable and clearly conveyed the exceptional ancient history of Egypt to us. In addition, for more modern history, we were enriched by his clear and concise explanation of the Islamic religion allowing us to understand its precepts as we visited mosques in Cairo. Ahmed Saber (Aswan and Luxor) shared his tremendous expertise about sites in upper Egypt, ending with a magical evening tour of his hometown Luxor in an hour long carriage ride through the city. Both guides had excellent language skills and were very personable, making us feel like they were friends as well as historians. Another special shout-out goes to our drivers, particularly Taha, who knew Cairo like the back of his hand and handled the city’s crazy traffic like a pro. His skill allowed us to travel smoothly from busy downtown Giza to the smallest village in the countryside. Our Odynovo tour went without a single major problem. At no time during the entire 20 days in Egypt did we feel unsafe or uncertain. When changes to the planned itinerary were necessary due to a dust storm in Luxor, alternative activities were quickly arranged and implemented. A last-minute domestic flight change was handled by Odynovo managers and communicated not only to us but to our guides and drivers so all ensured we made our flight. We were greatly impressed with the value we got from the price of the trip, and enjoyed the personal attention that only a private tour could give. We will definitely be exploring more of the world, and will put Odynovo on the top of our list for tour companies. We have already recommended this group to many of our friends.
