She's also very helpful in information sharing and even goes the extra mile of meeting / seeing us at the railway station from / to our previous / next destination! She's an experienced tour guide...deserves a 5-star rating!

Ada is the Best guide! Ada ding was a wonderful, attentive and made our trip very memorable. She and the driver were always on time and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend Ada!

China is Magical! Purchased the 10 day China trip visiting Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Rode the high speed train from Beijing to Xi'an; then took two domestic flights on China Southern Airlines to get to Shanghai and Hong Kong. The knowledgeable tour guides helped us navigate the trains and planes and gave us a full days of sightseeing at each city. We had our own personal driver each day waiting to wisk us to the next attraction. I'd been warned about some tours that push shopping on tourists but in fact I felt I didn't have enough time to shop we were so busy sightseeing! Any issues or concerns we had during the whirlwind week were promptly address by staff. The only surprise was when I landed and learned that my visa free trip in fact required a 240 hour visa that I had to apply for on the spot at immigration. That process added an additional 50 minutes to clearing customs. Thereafter catching a taxi to my hotel in downtown Beijing was a breeze. I wish I had skipped Hong Kong and spent those additional days at Shanghai. What a magical city. And when in Xi'an don't miss the fabulous show at the Xi'an Huaxia Scenic Area about how the Silk Road was established. Live wolves and camels, erupting volcanoes and gigantic waterfalls. It was epic!

6 Canadians northern Vietnam We toured Hanoi and Cat Ba with our tour guide Ha and driver Dien and it was wonderful . There were 6 of us on the tour and they were always there for us and hiding us with suggestions. They also came up with options when weather wasn’t great! Thank you!

Fantastic views with excellent tour guide This trip to Guilin/Yangshou was excellent. Our guide Aileen Li made this trip more special. She was very attentive to our needs. The Longji Rice Terrace Fields visit was excellent. She chose a village to visit with phenomenal authentic restaurant with sticky rice cooked in bamboo! She also organized my hair salon visit and accompanied us to introduce us to the hairdresser and communicate what I needed. David Tan organized our 26 days China itinerary. The hotel Guilin Bravo was an excellent location choice, you can walk along the river and enjoy festivities being celebrated at the time. The 4 hour Li river cruise in Yangshuo was unbelievably fantastic. We didn’t expect such luxurious accommodations in the cruise. The views were breathtaking. Once again, David did a great job organizing this trip. We highly recommend Odynovo to family and friends. This is our second trip with Odynovo Tours, we will return again next year, there is so much to explore in this beautiful country.

Great China Experience! After our fantastic Vietnam tour with Odynovo, decided to go with them for our China tour. Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Yangshuo, Suzhou, and Shanghai - amazing experience with Odynovo. Thanks to Forest and his team for giving us the memorable experience. I should mention our awesome guides Alice, Mary, David, and Run who were knowledgeable and catered to all our needs. Missed meeting Forest in Guilin but met lovely lady Kristy. Highly recommend Odynovo.

Highly recommended Our private tour in Beijing with Odynovo is excellent. We started our 26 days China trip in Beijing and it was hard not to compare each guide with Tracy. She was experienced, knowledgeable, personable and very attentive to our needs. The itinerary for the whole trip was organized by David Tan. He made sure we had a balanced and well distributed itinerary. He also made himself available during the trip and made sure that we were happy every step of the way. This is our second time using Odynovo Tours, we will use them again for future trips. We highly recommend them for friends and families.

A trip organised with Care and Professionalism My husband and I spent a month travelling through Yunnan, the Hexi Corridor, Beijing, Xi’an and Pingyao. We are extremely happy that we chose Odynoyo and above all , that we had the opportunity to design and organise our trip with Ms Maple . She was attentive to our needs, prompt in responding to our many requests and always flexible and accommodating. Everything was so well organised ; the quality of the accommodation proposed was very satisfactory, the vehicles provided extremely comfortable and both drivers and guides always punctual . All the guides who accompanied us in the different places showed commitment and willingness to help , doing their best to make each visit interesting, enjoyable and engaging. As we had booked on bed and breakfast basis , they also kindly recommended local restaurants and suggested typical dishes for us timo try Throughout the entire journey the constant exchange of messages via WeChat with Maple and the guides made us feel that we were always being looked after and supported . We would certainly recommend Odynovo to anyone planning a trip to China . We would also like to express our thanks to Ms Maple for her support, professionalism and dedication which helped make our journey a really enjoyable experience. Anna and Francesco from Italy

Beijing Tour with Odynovo We recently had the pleasure of spending four wonderful days touring Beijing with Odynovo, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! A huge thank you to our amazing tour guide, Ms. Dina, and our wonderful driver, Mr. Meng, for making our trip truly memorable. Their service was exceptional from beginning to end. They went above and beyond to ensure we were always comfortable, well taken care of, and completely satisfied throughout the tour. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made such a difference. Dina is an outstanding tour guide. Her knowledge of Chinese history and culture is truly impressive, and she has a wonderful way of bringing history to life through her stories. She was entertaining, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about sharing her country's rich heritage. You can feel how proud she is of China, and that passion made our experience even more meaningful. And we can't forget her fantastic food recommendations! Dina introduced us to some wonderful local food experiences and always knew where to find something delicious. She is also an excellent photographer, always ready to capture those special moments and help us take home beautiful memories of our time in Beijing. Mr. Meng was equally wonderful, always ensuring our transportation was safe, smooth, and comfortable. Together, Ms. Dina and Mr. Meng made an incredible team! We are extremely grateful to Ms. Dina, and Mr. Meng for their kindness, dedication, and outstanding service. Thank you for going above and beyond, making us feel so welcome, and sharing your beautiful country with us.

Magical Tour from Tokyo to Okinawa We worked with Odynovo to create a magical itinerary for 12 days in Japan, stretching from one end of the country to the other. Our contact was wonderfully responsive and agile, accommodating a number of changes and requests as we worked through all the details of our trip. Ultimately, we could not be happier with the level of detail to our service, including all of the local guides and drivers that they connected us with. This was a trip we will never forget!

Tinh and Hai are The Best When Visiting Vietnam!! It’s the first time we visited Vietnam, such a beautiful country. Our tour guide Tinh took the best care of us from the first we met at the airport until the end of our tour in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay. He was knowledgeble and caring. Hai ‘s a safe driver. We enjoyed our tour very much & highly recommend them & Odynovo for anyone going to visit Vietnam.

Cambodia We had an absolutely incredible experience exploring Siem Reap with our tour guide, Mr. T, and our driver, John! They truly went above and beyond to make our time in Cambodia unforgettable. Mr. T was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Cambodia’s rich history and culture. He made every stop interesting and engaging! John was equally wonderful! He was always punctual, professional, and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day. Together, they made the entire experience seamless, enjoyable, and so memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and driver. If you’re visiting Siem Reap, I cannot recommend Mr. T and John enough! They truly made our trip extra special.

Guilin and Li River Cruise We just finished a tour of the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin and a Li River Cruise to Yangshuo arranged by Odynovo Travel. We had the loveliest guide, Jessica Wang, and I would highly recommend her. She was very knowledgeable, extremely personable, and made our visit an outstanding experience. Her English was excellent and she made sure we were safely back to Guilin and on the train to Chongqing.

2 Days in Xi’an We recently spent 2 days in Xi’an as part of our tour of China organized by Odynovo. Our guide, Cecilia , was absolutely fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and spoke English extremely well. Her enthusiasm made our visit to Xi’an a real pleasure!

Two weeks China private tour with Odynovo Recently me and my wife took a trip to China for 15 days with Odynovo. This is the second time I have used Odynovo as travel consultant. Overall it is a very well organized and professional company. Starting from our consultant (Nikki Xia) to all the local guides were very capable and very good in their service. Nikki worked with me showing lot of flexibility in customizing our itinerary, answered all my questions promptly, and stayed patient while I was dealing some uncertainty with our trip. She came up with an itinerary we really enjoyed. The guides in most of the cities were excellent, English was good, they were flexible to change our schedule as needed (we had a private tour for the entire itinerary), they have gone above and beyond to answer any questions. I highly recommend working with Odynovo for overseas trip (travelers from the USA). Abu Hassan

Memorable insight into China Our 13-day trip to China was very well organised indeed, with everything happening on time and as it should. We travelled as a couple, with our own guides in each city. We had different guides in each place - thank you Felix, Bruce, Carlo and Mr Pei for the effort you all made to make our trip memorable, and for your hospitality and interesting conversations that helped us understand more about the way of life and culture of China.

Excellent HaNoi tour and Ha Long Bay cruise We had a fantastic experience in Vietnam arranged through Odynovo tours. The historically and spiritually significant places we visited were very interesting. Our guide, Trinh, was exceptional. She was knowledgeable, professional and friendly . She made sure all our questions were answered and our needs meet. The accommodations Odynovo arranged were very good and the service was excellent. We toured Hanoi and went on a HaLong Bay cruise. We received personalized excellent care on all excursions and tours. I highly recommend Odynovo tours

Magical Siem Reap Our guide was amazing and a great photographer!

Odynovo strikes again! Odynovo strikes again! This was our fourth trip with them and as always, everything worked like clockwork. I do like selecting and booking our own hotels and flights – however, I am more than happy to place everything else in our agent Ander’s capable hands. I had visited Egypt on an exhausting and exhaustive trip 30 odd years ago but wanted to revisit and show my husband some of the absolute highlights so the plan was to spend a few relaxing days in Hurghada followed by three days in Luxor to visit the sights on both sides of the Nile and a couple of days in Cairo. While in Hurghada, I realised that one of the fascinating temples I had visited all those years ago – the Temple of Hathor in Dendera – was actually located directly on our way to Luxor. So I contacted Ander and he quickly changed our plans so that we would be picked up from our Hurghada resort not only by a driver as scheduled, but by our Luxor guide who could then give us an insightful tour of Dendera. This was done at very short notice and we really appreciated the flexibility shown by Odynovo! We loved our Luxor guide and driver – both Mahmoud – who were kind, punctual, flexible and knowledgeable. Our guide Mahmoud tailored our excursions exactly to our requirements – e.g. organising our visit to the East Bank in the afternoon so we could explore Karnak Temple, enjoy a sunset dinner by the Nile and then see Luxor temple at dusk/night (which is an absolute must and one of my favourites of the trip). We did the West Bank visit the next morning exploring the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and a number of other sights on our list. He was sensitive to the fact that we were “all templed out” by lunchtime and started feeling the extreme heat. Despite our hotel on the West Bank having its own boat pier and capable boatsmen, he always insisted on accompanying us home, which was very kind. In Cairo, we were picked up by our larger-than-life guide Mustafa and driver Ahmed. I had let Ander know that due to my love of Islamic architecture I would love to visit some additional locations in the old city. This was clearly passed on to Mustafa who took the initiative and switched around our itinerary so that we could visit the pyramids and the wonderful new GEM museum on Saturday (when the museum is open until 9pm) and had all Sunday exploring old Cairo at length. It worked perfectly in every respect! Mustafa went out of his way to show us a couple of beautiful mosques, an additional church (as well as the Hanging Church) and a neighbourhood synagogue. He then haggled for me in the Khalifi bazaar before smuggling us into the famous Naguib Mahfouz Café (without reservation!) for a delicious lunch. Top man! All in all, yet another Odynovo success story. Can’t wait to harass Ander with my Sri Lanka plans for next year! 😊

Jay Jay No. 1 guide Shanghai We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for Jay Jay, who made our visit to Shanghai truly wonderful and memorable. Jay Jay is an exceptional guide — highly professional, responsible, knowledgeable, flexible, and dedicated. Her warmth, kindness, positive energy, and wonderful personality made every moment enjoyable and special. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a smooth, fascinating, and unforgettable experience.

6 women in Siem Reap Our guide, Savvy, was a great match for our group of six…he met our every need and gave us so much information about all our tour stops. He made the whole 3 days so much fun. Our driver was the best.

Beijing Tracy our guide in Beijing was excellent ! Five Stars highly recommend

Hanoi trip Just leaving Hanoi after 6 days with odynovo tours. Our guide Duc and drivers- “james” were very accommodating- meeting all our requests. They were on time, pleasant and very helpful. Our cruise on the Emperor on Halong bay was lovely and they were there to get our bags, get us to the airport and even checked us in. It was a pleasure. Thank you.

Xi'an experience. 1 full day (2 nights) We had an excellent guide in Dary who picked us up for an early start to beat the crowds for the warrior and chariot visit. Extremely efficient at getting between sites but we did not feel rushed once at the locations. A perfect guide. The crowds are tough at the warriors but it is a memorable experience. After being dropped off by Dary we went to the wall and cycled around. A good change in pace. Considering there are 1.6 billion people we bumped into Dary 10 days later at Yellow Mountain. She had another group. Small world.

First-class service and attention. The whole experience was very pleasant; the guide Felix and Mr. Li were extremely attentive and patient. They helped us with everything we needed. The hotels, transfers, and services were first-class. We are very satisfied with traveling with Odynovo.

Beijing Sampler We just completed a 2-day private tour of Beijing arranged through Odynovo, with our guide John Yue. We had been to Beijing earlier and had already visited some of the main sites. John escorted us on a wonderful tour of the Summer Palace, Science and Technology Museum, several temples and local street attractions. John did a great job of explaining the history of what we were visiting, and good narratives on current Beijing life. John and his driver were friendly and professional. I highly recommend them.

Highlights of Xi’an We recently completed a private tour in Xi’an arranged through Odynovo and with our guide, Kevin Yan. We had a great visit at the site of the Terracotta Army. Kevin escorted us through all three pits and the museum, providing a good history and narrative, and ensuring we had the best photo opportunities. We also visited local markets, the city wall, the Wild Goose Pagoda and sampled some local foods. Kevin and his driver were always friendly, courteous and professional. I highly recommend them.

Three days in Cambodia Sun Sopheak was the guide for my husband and myself; John was our awesome driver. Both were phenomenal. We felt very safe with John’s competent driving and learned and saw so many beautiful, amazing things with Sun. Sun is very knowledgeable and explained things very well. He is a thoughtful, helpful man who made sure we saw as much as we could in the three days that we were in Cambodia. They both ensured that we had the most pampered and comfortable trip possible!

Beijing trip Hazel Kang, our guide in Beijing, was superb. Her knowledge of the city and the sights and her ability to explain the history and importance of the monuments made our trip most enjoyable. She also had incredible patience in meeting our requests however extraordinary. Our driver Mr Luo was most efficient and very courteous. Thank you both for looking after us so well.

No 1 guide Our guide for Beijing was Albert Gong Zhang, he was super service orientated, very knowledgeable, hard working and sensitive, next time to Beijing only with him

China 1st class My wife and I booked a 21 day China tour with Odynovo. They were absolutely 1st class from original booking to accommodations to guides and tours. We found their service, reliability and flexibility to be refreshingly great! The hand holding and assistance when needed were second to none. China will be one of our most memorable trips thanks to Odynovo and Terry in particular Mike Mackenzie Pam Rustige

Fantastic! This was my second China trip with Odynovo, and they delivered perfection again! I previously visited in September 2024, as the lead teacher for a History trip with my students. As that trip was excellent, I did not even consider working with another tour company, and directly contacted Odynovo (Forest) to arrange a new trip for our students. I also requested the same guides, Tracy (Beijing) and Ava (Nanjing), and thankfully both were available. Working with Forest is so easy as he gets back to your right away, and communicates very clearly. The two bus drivers were very professional, and the hotel locations were great. The tour was fantastic - hotels, food, transportation, guides - all first class. Tracy helped us when a student left her laptop at their airport (this was brought to us by her colleague the next day, and meant that we were spared the trouble of having to got to the airport to collect it ourself). It was my birthday during the trip, and Tracy made sure that we had a wonderful meal, and was very kind to get me a birthday cake. Tracy has a fun personality, and always takes care of our group. Ava (Nanjing) is also very kind, and it was wonderful to see her again. If I run another trip to China in 2028 I will have no hesitation of booking through Odynovo again, and hopefully Tracy and Ava will be available to guide our group.

Amazing Dina is an exceptional guide. Our 3-day private tour in Beijing was incredible. She was punctual, detail-oriented, and handling every logistical detail seamlessly. ​Her depth of historical knowledge is phenomenal. Whether guiding us through the vast courtyards of the Forbidden City, leading us through the Temple of Heaven and Summer Palace, arranging a warm home-cooked lunch in the Hutongs, or coordinating our visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall, Dina added rich context and captivating stories to every stop. I also want to make a special mention to our driver Mr Luo for smooth.and safe driving at all times. ​Dina made our visit smooth, enriching, and deeply memorable. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone visiting Beijing

GREAT WALL OF CHINA EXPERIENCE Tracy our guide was absolutely amazing. The whole experience of The Great Wall, The forbidden city was enhanced by her incredible knowledge and enthusiasm nothing was too much trouble including meals which were delicious. Tracy got us to the attractions at the right time before the crowds and gave us great information on where to shop etc. when it was time to leave not only did she take us to the train but came in and physically put us into our seats with very clear instructions on when to get off and the time it would be so set an alarm just in case you fall asleep.

Guilin and Yangshuo: 5 day experience. We had a fantastic 5 days exceptionally guided by Forrest. The first day was a good hike in the Longview rice terraces. Forrest’s background from a rural town provided a wealth of information on the culture, history and fauna. The walk was also a good chance to better understand us. Forrest was the perfect guide for our interest in cycling and hiking. He tweaked the Yangshuo cycling schedule to suit and took us on a good mountain hike on our free day. It was like being shown around by an old friend. Thank you so much Forrest!!! The accomodation on Yangshuo was great, especially having a pool to cool down in the late afternoon. This experience was certainly a highlight and a good place to relax before the next stage of our journey.

Silk Road From the start the experience with Odynovo was a positive one. Our agent, David Tan, acted with professionalism and friendliness. Our queries were answered promptly and our itinerary was set for October 2026. The Silk Road holds so much more than its history. Try going back thousands of years and walk in the shoes of those that crossed rough terrain, deserts and mountains and you see a landscape that hasn't changed completely. The sights are really ones to behold and you feel emotionally attached to them. We travelled by bullet train, just be prepared to get on and off them with precision as they don't stop for long, plane and on the road in a minibus with a guide and driver. We were a private tour of 7 and the guides we had were wonderful. Some went over and above and they were enthusiastic and friendly. This was definitely a trip to remember and we were surprised how smoothly everything went. 4 of our group extended their stay by 3 days from 14 to 17 days to include Beijing while 3 ended in Shanghai. We will definitely travel with Odynovo again.

Willuam-great English speaking tour guide William was a fantastic tour guide- He spoke English very well and explained the history of each site we visited in Beijing. He even helped us with extra things such as changing money and finding souvenir shops

3 Perfect Days in Beijing! Our whole tour was arranged by Odynovo Tours, with a flawless attention to detail, by its travel coordinator, Bruce Peng. On Day 1, we arrived to Beijing, by a bullet train, which departed and arrived on time. Our tour guide, Eva, greeted us from the very same train carriage and took us to the 5-star Pan Pacific Hotel, which has excellent location, rooms restaurants and staff.. On Day 2, we visited the fabulous Forbidden City. In the afternoon, we went to the Drum Tower, Guangfu Temple and Shichachai. On Day 3, Eva had the great idea of picking us from the hotel at 6 AM, which allowed us to arrive at the Mutianyu Great Wall at 7 AM, avoiding long lines for the shuttle bus and ferry. There were areas where we were alone for a while, which is unusual for this moderate hiking trip. In the afternoon, we visited the Temple of Heaven and in our way back to the hotel, we drove by Tiananmen Square, making this an unforgettable day. On day 4, we had an early pickup from to the hotel by another guide, Steven, who helped us to checkin and did not leave us until we entered the security-customs area. Our tour was by a comfortable private 4-row seat van. All pickups were on time. Of note, we traveled with my mother, who has limited mobility and uses a wheelchair. Thanks to the patience and professionalism of tour guides and driver, she was able to enjoy most of the tour, except for the Great Wall.

Relax and enjoy with Odynova Our recent trip to China was amazing thanks to Allen from odynova who designed our itinerary. The tour guides and drivers in Bejing , Xi’an and Guangzhou were amazing especially Tracy in Bejing, very informative, friendly and helpfully in every way. More than a tour guide she became a friend we will keep in contact with. I travelled with two girlfriends and felt safe, informed and looked after every step of the way which enabled us to relax and enjoy our time in China. Would highly recommend. Thank you. Elise
