Stress free Beijing tour with the best guide ever Booked our 10 days China Tour private tour with Odynovo. We started and arrived in Beijing and our tour guide Dina met us at the airport with our tour driver Mr. Luo. From the time they picked us up from the airport till our last day in Beijing, we feel that we were taken cared of like more than a family. Truly a stress free visit in Beijing. We feel that Dina went above and beyond our expectations. Took us to restaurants and all her recommendations of food were excellent. We love it. Dina also served as our photographer and she knows the best place or position where to take our picture. She's always looking out for us and made sure we have the best experience in Beijing. Our driver, Mr Luo is an excellent driver, kept us very safe with his driving through the busy traffic throughout Beijing. We can't thank them enough. We highly recommend this tour with Odynovo and our excellent tour guide Dina and our driver Mr. Luo. Stress free tour in Beijing indeed!

Christine in Chongqing Christine in Chongqing was our multi day guide. Super knowledge and food / activity suggestions for our free time. Also excellent English.

Amazing Easter in China We recently completed an eight-day trip through Guangzhou, Guilin, Yangshuo and Zhangjiajie with Odynovo, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We were a group of nine, including three older parents in their 70s as well as teenagers, so finding a balance that suited everyone could have been challenging. However, the itinerary was thoughtfully designed and managed to keep both age groups engaged, comfortable and genuinely enjoying themselves throughout. A special mention to Nikki Xia, who planned our itinerary. We made many changes over several months, and she was consistently patient, responsive and open to every suggestion. Her flexibility and attention to detail made the entire planning process smooth and reassuring. The hotels selected for us were consistently of a high standard — clean, well-located and very comfortable after full days of travel and sightseeing. Transport between cities was smooth and well organised, which made a big difference given the distances involved. A further thank you to our guides: in Guilin we were looked after by Alice for three days, and in Zhangjiajie by Tracey Wang for three days. Both were outstanding — warm, attentive and highly professional. Their English was excellent, and their knowledge added real depth to each destination. The service throughout the trip was attentive and, at times, truly impeccable. The food was another highlight. Our guides made excellent restaurant recommendations, allowing us to experience a variety of local cuisines with ease and confidence. Every meal felt like part of the journey rather than just a necessity. The activities were well chosen and paced appropriately, with a great mix of scenery, cultural experiences and downtime. Importantly, the schedule was flexible enough to accommodate our older family members without compromising the overall experience. Overall, this was a very well-run and enjoyable trip. We would not hesitate to recommend Odynovo to families or groups looking for a personalised and stress-free way to explore China.

Great Japan trip Gianna helped plan and organize a 5 city, 16 day personalized tour of central Japan. We had a wonderful time - the guides and drivers were friendly and prompt, the tours excellent, the hotels superb, and the meals top flight. I was amazed that, with so many transfers and connections, everything went smoothly. A great trip and an excellent trip planner.

Seeing Beijing with Ada’s capable assistance Ada was a fantastic tour guide through Beijing. She had an organized schedule, with just enough flexibility to help us feel comfortable and still see all the planned sites. Her warm, charming personality added to our adventure, and she kept us informed and excited about trip. We highly recommend Ada!

Family friendly private tour We used Odynovo to book a private tour from Australia. Our travel agent, Kevin Yang, did a great job putting together a custom itinerary that worked for us and our young kids. He was super responsive and helpful, and everything so far has been seamless. Our tour guide in Beijing was Cathy and she was fantastic. Her English was perfect and she was very easy to understand. Cathy was friendly and knowledgeable. She took us around Beijing for three days and we did all the major sites (Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and Great Wall). We also did a dumpling making class with a local family, tai chi lesson and went to lots of great restaurants, where Cathy helped us order delicious dishes for the whole family to enjoy. She taught us which dishes were local to the region and explained a lot about cultural traditions and daily life. I would highly recommend Cathy, Kevin and Odynovo.

Beijing + Great Wall Spent 5 days in Beijing with Driver Ma and Guide Alice. Driver Ma is a great driver, no issues with motion sickness which was a large plus for me. Alice is extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide lots of additional context and answer any questions we had. She’s also very prepared and went above and beyond with being helpful by bringing walking sticks to help me on the Great Wall, made great dinner recommendations and reservations, and was very accommodating in changing plans a bit so my dad and I could see a local museum. It’s also a nice plus she has a very artistic eye so we got some amazing pictures. She was also great at helping us navigate the train to our next destination and setting us up for success so we had no issues meeting the next guide. Would definitely recommend!

Safe and Satisfying Beijing Introduction My experience in Beijing was awesome. Clear details and itinerary. My smiling guide Li Ying “Linda” was waiting, got me to my beautiful hotel and made sure checkin was smooth. Throughout the trip, she made sure I was clear about everything from breakfast to when I would need passport. Linda provided great background on Chinese history, enhancing my knowledge. She also took care to make sure I was safe including holding my hand in the more difficult passages of The Great Wall—which was a trip highlight. She also found me tasty food and worked well with our attentive driver Lu. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend Odynovo, Linda and Lu.

An Unforgettable Xi’an Experience with an Amazing Guide We had an amazing experience during our trip to Xi’an. Everything was very well organized, and the entire journey was smooth and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Betty, was truly outstanding. Her English was excellent, and she explained the historical sites in a very clear, engaging, and informative way. Thanks to her, we were able to understand the rich history and culture of Xi’an much better. She was also very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, which made the experience even more special. Betty also took us to incredibly delicious local restaurants that we would never have found on our own. These dining experiences were some of the highlights of our trip. Since we were traveling with children, she was especially thoughtful and supportive—always coming up with great ideas and adjusting the program according to our needs and preferences. She made everything very easy and comfortable for our family. The driver was very professional and careful, and we always felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Overall, we are extremely satisfied and would highly recommend this team to anyone visiting China. Thank you, Betty, for making our trip so memorable!

First experience of Japan Odynovo was totally unknown to us (two travellers from South Africa) and we relied on the positive reviews by users from other countries. The pre-tour communication with Mr Don Li built trust to go ahead with the booking. We were not disappointed. Everything went so smooth. The prompt responses, and well written tour documentation and the providing of proofs of tickets, hotel vouchers before hand was so reassuring. We were delighted with the hotel choices. Due to an operational hick up at Haneda Airport we disembarked late resulting in a 'jammed packed' immigration hall which slowed down the immigration process. Despite this, the driver Mr Nakazawa waited patiently; made inauiries about our well being via WhatsAPP and delivered us safely at the hotel beyond mid night, surely after his expected knock off time. The next morning in Tokyo Mr Aki introduced the traditional" Japan to us. Accolades to him in navigating us through all the train stations, and finding the elevators/ escalators where available. He bought us some traditional sweets which was appreciated. The next day our guide was Mr Atsuhiro Meno and a driver, which name I can't remembered now, picked us up for the drive to Hakone. It was a longer drive than anticipated due to heavy Friday traffic but they managed to fit in all the planned tour activities. Surely they returned later than usual to their homes. Also their general knowledge about many topics made the trip a pleasant experience. At Hakone, we genuinely appreciated that the Mr Meno acted as a translator to ensure that the hotel staff understood, and answered all our questions well. The next day Mr Toshi (travelled from Osaka) met us at the hotel in Kyoto and ensured that we experience all the activities as planned. At the end of the day, he did not leave us at Gion, but accompanied us on Bus 702 back to the hotel. So much appreciated! He also provided us with valuable information regarding our trip to Osaka. In Osaka we joined a food tour, and the next day, Mia was our guide. Also a person which is well informed and we were able to discuss many different topics. At the end of the day, she also 'delivered' as safely at the hotel.

Great experience Thank you so much to Odynovo for making our trip to Beijing such a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Mr Albert, Ms Jasi and driver, Mr Wong, were fantastic at helping us explore all the amazing sights of Beijing.

The Beijing Judy in Beijing was fantastic and she was taken care from pick up from airport to live us at train station She is very knowledgeble regardin all China history and places to visit We are very strongly recomended

Flawless Beijing Tour Despite Peak Holiday Crowds We had the absolute pleasure of being guided in Beijing by Mr Li Sun, and the experience exceeded all expectations. Our visit took place over the Qing Ming Festival period—one of the busiest times of the year—when navigating iconic sites such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Hutongs can be exceptionally challenging due to the sheer volume of visitors. Despite this, Mr Li Sun demonstrated exceptional foresight and planning at every step. His ability to anticipate crowds, adjust timing, and manage logistics ensured that our itinerary ran as smoothly and seamlessly as possible under very demanding conditions. Mr Li Sun is a mature, thoughtful gentleman whose depth of knowledge in Chinese history is both impressive and delivered with genuine humility. Beyond historical facts, he is able to engage in meaningful and intellectually stimulating conversations across a wide range of topics—from political governance to broader reflections on life. This made the experience not just informative, but genuinely enriching. Throughout our time together, he was consistently punctual, polite, and honest—qualities that quickly built a strong sense of trust. A small incident on our final day highlighted his character even further. After dropping us near a train station (a location he had not previously serviced), he initially questioned the driver when the drop-off seemed too far from the entrance. Although the driver reassured him at the time, Mr Li Sun did not leave it at that. After ensuring we were settled and ready for our journey, he took it upon himself to personally verify the location, identified the correct drop-off point, and returned to inform us with sincere apologies. More importantly, he noted that this would allow him to better guide future clients with complete confidence. This moment spoke volumes about his integrity, professionalism, and pride in his work. Mr Li Sun is not just a guide—he is a true professional who genuinely cares about the quality of his service and the experience of his guests. His storytelling, attention to detail, and personal character made our time in Beijing truly memorable. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Beijing and wish him every success in the future.

30 Aussies in China ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇳 We are travelling with a group of 30 people (8 families) from Sydney Australia on a 14 day tour of 5 cities (Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Zhangjajie, Shanghai). Odynovo helped us organise all hotels, trains, internal flights and tour guides in each city. Our tour guide in Beijing was Alice and Jo Zhou in Xian. Both tour guides were very professional. We were particulatly impressed with Jo’s knowledge of Xian and Imperial China. She had us all captivated and wanting more information about China’s rich history. We would thoroughly recommend Odynovo for both these cities. Very professional and knowledgable.
