Breathtaking views with a kind and knowledgeable guide. We had a fabulous three days in the Guilin area, arranged by our travel consultant, Jake Zhong who invited us to have a wonderful meal with him in beautiful Guilin. Other sites included the Longii rice terraces, ancient villages of the Zhuang people, and the karst mountains along the Li River to Yangshuo. Heidi Jiang was our tour guide in Guilin and the surrounding areas. She was very intelligent and willing to share all about her region, her family background, and answer lots of questions we had. We learned a ton about imperial dynasties, farming, and regional development. She was kind and generous and shared some wonderful places to eat delicious regional meals. She responded well when one of us fell while hiking, quickly getting first aid and transportation. We really appreciated all that she did for us throughout our three-day visit.

Our Beijing tour with Crystal A few days ago we had a 2 days trip in Beijing with our guide Crystal from Odynovo. We were welcomed at the airport for transfer to the hotel. Crystal was very friendly, helpful and her English was very good. When we had a question, we could always call her. Besides the booked activities she proposed some additional activities which were very welcome like the acrobatics show and tea tasting. In a nutshell, we enjoyed our trip and our guide.

Conociendo Beijing Súper buena guía Lydia, la recomiendo ampliamente, super amable y explica muy bien. La mejor guía que he tenido en mi viaje 👌

Such a memorable experience I would just like to say a Big Thank You for our amazing holiday to Japan. Your arrangements with airport transfers, sightseeing tours and train arrangements were outstanding and we would also like to give a special thank you to all the Tour Guides who escorted us around Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nare, Osaka and Hiroshima. Their knowledge and expertise in guiding us through all the tours was brilliant and we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip. They were very quick to gauge the ability of our party and adapted the tours accordingly. They all truly made our journey to Japan so memorable. Please could you pass on our appreciation to all those involved and especially to the Tour Guides.

A Few Days in Beijing My daughter and I had a wonderful visit to Beijing including time at the Great Wall, Tian’ Anmen Square, the Forbidden City, Jingshan Hill, the Temple of Heaven and more. Our guide Crystal was very efficient and attentive, a great historian, and helped my daughter get help at a local traditional pharmacy when needed. Only complaint was that we didn’t give ourselves enough time.

Amazing trip! My friends and I spent a week and a half exploring the northern part of Morocco. Larbi was our guide. His driving skills were absolutely amazing, navigating the narrow roads in the cities. And he was so informative and put a lot of detail into recommending other stops and shops along the way. He was so nice and helpful. I would recommend him to anyone looking to travel to Morocco. The places we stayed were all gorgeous. We mostly stayed in riads, which were stunning on the inside. And they all accommodated three people in a room. We had a Mercedes sprinter van which was super comfortable for all the time spent on the road. Alex was our travel guide and helped organize the trip. He was able to alter the general itinerary to add in one additional stop. And he was very helpful and responsive with questions we had. I would definitely recommend Odynovo for a trip to Morocco. We had such a fabulous time everywhere we went!

Beijing 2026 wow .. Sisi was tireless in showing us the real Beijing as well as the Great Wall. Her knowledge and ability to explain the fascinating history was top notch. Her English was fantastic. It was the perfect end to our two week journey through China. Odynovo gave us the perfect itinerary for our introduction to this great country.

Beijing Tour Guide Randy was a brilliant tour guide during our visit to Beijing. He spoke excellent English and provided us with great restaurant recommendations. Made our experience memorable and enjoyable, along with taking great pictures of me and my family!

Tour of Beijing Great Wall and Forbidden City Had an amazing experience visiting the Great Wall and Forbidden City in Beijing. Our tour guide was Eva from Odynovo tours. This was my second visit to the Great Wall but with a much more experienced tour guide. Eva was able to provide a thorough account of China history that made the tour more than just a sight seeing experience. Her English was exceptional and made sure we had a seamless trip from start to finish. She also anticipated our needs preparing us to brave the heat and rain. I never get tired of touring the Great Wall because of so much rich history. I would suggest visiting Beijing in the cooler months because the heat can be absolutely brutal plus the amount of people touring these sites is daunting in the summer. 🥰I plan to return to Beijing in the next few years and I hope we will be able to have Eva as our guide again.

Trip to Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay Excellent tour with Odynovo. Our guide Thanh and driver Tuan were excellent. Thanh is very patient, polite, knowledgable, very kind and generous. Our driver is a very good driver. I highly recommended this tour.

Amazing Egypt Tour! My husband and I booked a trip to Egypt with Odynovo. I can highly recommend this tour company to anyone wanting to experience the best of everything Egypt has to offer – from the Pyramids of Giza, all the temples from Aswan to Luxor, plus a 3 night Nile cruise - we loved every minute of it. Our travel planner at Odynovo was exceptional in helping us plan our trip to our exact requirements – she was happy to give advice and paid attention to every detail. Her constant email communications were very much appreciated. Once arriving in Egypt, the representatives, tour guides and drivers were amazing – not only extremely knowledgable, but also very warm and friendly. They made our trip so much fun! It’s a big adventure, so be prepared for lots of walking and loads of historical information. We travelled in May – it was very hot, but bearable. Our only headache – gratuities – you need to pay in cash so we made many trips to an ATM. Odynovo give you estimates in US$, and online sites offer advice that differs from site to site. Gratuities are a must for porters, reps, drivers and guides. Still scratching our heads about whether we gave enough or too much!

You CAN travel with limited energy & mobility! Fear not! We asked for a guide and driver and were treated to an amazing experience. Ask for Felix and the smoothest driver Mr Li! Traveling in summer and in our 60’s was daunting- but was made so comfortable because of the VIP service that these two provided. Three days flew by. Felix got all the tickets for us and we toured our chosen spots at the least crowed time of day, all thanks to such a knowledgeable guide. Having personal extensive international travel experience, Felix gave us a thorough and a refreshing outline of history. When we wanted a deep dive into a topic he was willing to share. He had great dining suggestions too! Odynovo made everything so smooth

Exceptional 4 Days in Beijing with Eva! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If you are planning a trip to Beijing and want an unforgettable experience, look no further than Eva! We spent a fantastic 4 days exploring the city with her, and she truly made our trip exceptional. We checked off all the major bucket-list spots, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven. At every single location, Eva blew us away with her deep knowledge of Chinese history and culture. She didn't just rattle off dates and facts; she told fascinating stories that really brought these ancient sites to life. A few things that made Eva stand out: Flawless English: Her English is incredibly fluent, making communication completely effortless and engaging. Super Knowledgeable: She had answers to all of our niche historical questions and offered amazing local insights. Seamless Navigation: Navigating crowded landmarks can be overwhelming, but Eva handled all the logistics smoothly, letting us just relax and enjoy the views. Eva is professional, warm, and deeply passionate about what she does. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you, Eva, for an incredible 4 days!

My Wonderful China Tour! It took courage to bypass Western travel operators to deal with one in China, but I needed direct interactive planning for my solo customized tour. Six days in Beijing and Shanghai covered all the usual spots in these great cities. Richard and Mark know their respective cities very well, including their deep history, and they regularly added value with their insights about what made and continues to make China great. Kunming, Jianshui, and Yuanyang opened a window to the life of China’s people. My guide, Kevin, knows his territory well and did an excellent job explaining cultural practices, architectural oddities, the beautiful Temple of Confucius and the great man’s philosophical impact on China, terraced rice fields cascading from hill tops …. We walked through a remote Yi village for an intimate look at the residents at work, play, and leisure. Kevin is a well-schooled man from whom I learnt much about China’s political-economic history and the nation’s transformation into a global power. A bullet-train took me to Dali, and I spent five days with Hua visiting three ancient Bai villages. Hundreds of Chinese tourists, mostly young people, continuously flowed through narrow pedestrian streets lined on both sides with small, attractive shops. It was almost festive – couples holding hands, a mother chasing after her kid, sellers offering food samples, the irresistible flower cake shops … Very popular, were the scores of young women dressed up in rented/purchased ethnic costumes posing for photographs. With Hua’s close guidance, I moved around quite comfortably and even visited an abandoned Catholic cathedral, and a temple filled with huge demon deities that watched over an auspicious ritual. The Li River Cruise out of Guilin with my ever-attentive and congenial guide, Sharon, was a highlight of my China tour. Aboard the ferry, she made sure I didn’t miss out on the Peking duck buffet lunch nor on the best spots to photograph the continually morphing skyline of karst formations. When we approached a particular bend in the river, Sharon told me where to aim my camera, then instructed: “Hold! … Hold! … SHOOT!” Three shots and the scene disappeared around the river bend. She explained that what I had just photographed was the Li River’s famous First Bend on China’s 20 yuan note. She next presented me on the spot with a crisp 20 yuan note! Next morning in Yangshuo, Sharon led me to the top of a steep hill to one of the world’s best views – a breathtaking panorama of karsts sweeping across the First Bend. In Zhangjiajie, Carol and I “climbed” 326 feet on a fast elevator; rode seven 60-metre consecutive escalators in the inside of another mountain; walked along a narrow, 300-metre-high deck constructed on the side of a mountain; rode the world’s longest cable car to the top of a mountain to visit a huge hole through the mountain; walked across a suspended glass bridge, the world’s highest and longest, connecting two mountains straddling an immense gorge; and not least, we walked the 2,000 up-and-down steps through a subterranean cave of amazing formations of stalagmites, stalactites, and ponds. The constant rains were a challenge, but Carol kept me safe, secure and dry, carried my back-pack sometimes and often put me in my photos. Thanks, Carol for your attentiveness, coaching and fortitude. And finally, my gratitude to Maple, my Travel Consultant, for her patience and insights in constructing my itinerary and making my China tour with Odynovo a full success.
