Private Tour Sapa, Hanoi, Ninh Binh Was the Best! This was our third private tour arranged through Odynovo (secodn tour in Viet Nam). This tour took us to Sapa and Ninh Binh passing through and staying in Hanoi ( this trip did not tour Hanoi as we did that on a previous trip which was great) in between. Nothing could have been better! All arrangements were terrific taks to Joy Peng at Odynovo. Our guide Tinh was the very best. He was helpful and friendly and knowledgable all of which added to the trip. Tinh's spoken English was very very good which made communication so much easier and valuable to us. Hotels were both superb and all of the various activities in each place were fun and really added to our enjoyment of the visits. Sapa and Ninh Binh are both spectaculary beautiful and interesting places and certainly worth visiting. Restaurants seleced for lunches were really good and offered opportunity to sample lots of local dishes. Our trip could not have been better so many thanks to Odynovo tream Joy, Hung and especially Tinh who we consider a new friend!

Top notch service that beat our expectations Odynovo planned our unforgettable trip to Morocco. Working with Alex couldn't have been easier. He was super accommodating, very helpful, punctual, responsive, attentive and very willing to make countless changes to our plans until we were 100% happy. His choice of hotels were outstanding and we would even consider returning to a few of them. Our driver Rachid (who we were with every day for 11 days in a row) quickly become a good friend. His sense of humor and amazing disposition only added to the incredible experience of seeing this exciting country for the first time. All of the local guides were perfect for us needs. They were young and enthusiastic to learn and teach and tailored each experience to our personal tastes and interests. We knew we were in very good hands and appreciated all the details that were included in our confirmation packet. I would highly recommend Odynovo and can't wait to book our next adventure with them soon.

China: 10 cities in 23 days (November 2025) My sister (70) and I (67) just returned from a three-week, "grand-loop" private tour of China (Shanghai - Beijing - Datong - Pingyao - Xi'An - Chengdu - Leshan - Guilin - Nanjing - Shanghai) organized through the Odynovo Tour Company. I wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate the extremely respectful, kind, professional, and clockwork precision of Odynovo's flawless, and no-nonsense organization of their tours to China. From my very first "cold" e-mail contact to Odynovo's John Hu suggesting a tour of a few Chinese cities, within 24 hours we had already received a 23-page, color e-mail response proposal containing pictures of each city attraction, additional possible cities to see, the suggested train arrival and departure times, all Odynovo contact names, all payment procedures, and an overall trip package cost. I hesitantly e-mailed John a change in his proposal so we could enter China through Shanghai instead of through Beijing (n order to get a non-stop flight from Dallas TX), and again (within 24 hours!) I was shocked to receive from John another, 25-page updated proposal. Odynovo's service only got better with each subsequent email communication. We only had to worry about 1) Securing our own Chinese Visas 2) Procuring our plane tickets (it was our choice not have Odynovo purchase those for us), 3) Obtain our own travel cancellation / evacuation insurance, 4) Download the critical VPN, WeChat, and Alipay softwares to our cell phones. From then on, we just sat back and enjoyed every on-time Odynovo tour guide private car pick-up at the Shanghai airport and at every train station and hotel thereafter for 23 consecutive days. Many warm thanks as well to these wonderful guides: Mark, Queena, Rita, Joanna, Zoe, Emma, Alice, Martin, and Run. These tour guides will literally do EVERYTHING for you. That includes hotel check-ins, pick-ups, drop-offs, the purchase of all attraction tickets, assisting with all food orders at restaurants, procuring luggage porters, giving you copies of train timetables, and in some instances even by-passing some line queues with you. Our advice to any elderly person like us that is planning such a trip to China would be a) No matter what those valiant 21-year old travel warriors tell you on the internet...a) Do not underestimate the amount of internal tourists in China that travel all year, even during the off seasons. You only have a few minutes to board each train, and at any busy train station (especially during scheduling changes, infrequent electronic passport-reading malfunctions, and during any luggage security checks), a tour guide's assistance may be INVALUABLE. b) Do not overestimate the amount of English spoken even at Chinese 4-and-5 star hotels, even in cosmopolitan cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Smart phone translation apps on your own can only take you so far... before you begin ordering the wrong lunch, stand in the wrong line, or confuse train waiting gates with platform numbers. c) Do not underestimate the impact of the ~12-hour time difference between the U.S. and China. Odynovo's local assistance is immediate, knowledgeable, and very friendly. Unless you are an experienced elderly traveler who is fluent in mandarin, our advice would be not to try to “wing it” without having a competent tour organizer such as Odynovo on your side. Very well, done, guys. Thank you for a magical three-week China trip that my sister and I will always cherish. Please keep up the good work, Odynovo! Very grateful :-), J.R. Prieto, Dallas TX.

Hoi An guide We are having a fabulous experience in Vietnam. Our tour guide Tuan , Tran Thanh Tuan and our driver Tam in Hoi An have been amazing. Very knowledgeable and accommodating to all our needs. Punctual and flexible as needed. Beautiful town and country

Xi’an Walled City and Terracota Warriors We love our time in Xi’an, walking the walled city and visiting the majestic Terracota Warriors!!! Odynovo arranged everything for us and we love our tour guide Leo! He was fantastic, kind and very knowledgeable he really make our tour one of a life time! Kudos to our driver Mr. Song who also did treat us like family. 10 out 10

Siem Reap, Angkor Wat, Amazing Experience My husband and I had an amazing time in Siem Reap! Our tour guide Rithy was very knowledgeable and kind. He got us right up front at Angkor Wat for photos and our driver “Mr. John” was fun and always on time! Highly recommend!

Great time at Hangzhou We had a wonderful family trip to Hangzhou, and our guide, Jill (Hong), made the experience memorable. She is knowledgeable and shared rich insights about every place we visited. From the serene beauty of West Lake to the cultural depth of Lingyin Temple, Jill’s explanations helped us appreciate the history and significance behind each landmark. The Longjing tea appreciation session at Meijiawu was one of our family’s favourite moments of the trip. Both Jill's and the host's introduction to the traditions and craftsmanship behind the tea made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Jill’s professionalism truly elevated our short stay in hangzhou. We are grateful for her thoughtful guidance.

We will stay longer the next time! We booked a day tour in Hangzhou and was glad that Samantha is our guide. She speaks English pretty well and explain history fluently to the kids who had trouble understanding Chinese. Would definitely recommend Samantha to anyone who visit Hangzhou.

Wonderful adventures in Vietnam It was a wonderful experience altogether. Our guide was the nicest person and very knowledgeable, we felt super comfortable with him.

Father daughter trip to Beijing Sad to be leaving Beijing after 3 nights. Visits to iconic landmarks The Temple Of Heaven, The Forbidden City and The Great Wall did not disappoint. Our Odynovo guide Lili Zhang was very helpful, informative and kind. She really helped to make our trip special. The locals were friendly and welcoming and we can’t wait to come back as so many more experiences to see and local food to eat.

Using someone familiar with China to plan saves a lot of time and reduces stress! We hired Odynovo to coordinate and arrange our trip in Beijing and transfer to Xi’an. Probably one of the best travel decisions made. Totally reduced the stress of travel, navigating payments and tickets. Our guide Eva, picked us up at the airport, helped with getting a local SIM and even called ahead to ensure to check if the hotel could let us check in earlier. She spent 5 days with us, almost from the start of the day to evening. Eva was a warm and accommodating guide who knew not just the history but the little stories that make visiting historical sites so much more interesting. Effectively bilingual in English and Mandarin, she told jokes in both! She also knew traffic conditions and always gave us ample to be ready and prepared so as to avoid the worst of Beijing traffic. A special shout out to driver Hou! A warm friendly old Beijinger (老北京人) he knew the roads, the best times to visit attractions and was a steady driver at all times, always ready with a warm smile and a quip. Thank you for saving us the stress, and to Forest who corresponded with me for months and made all the preparations, he was totally responsive and helpful!
