Just spent the most amazing couple days in Chengdu. Our guide Lucky is the best tour guide ever! She was so helpful and so so kind. We learned so much from her and had a wonderful time exploring the city and eating the local cuisine. Our driver as well was wonderful and always made sure we stayed hydrated with the intense heat. Overall we loved our experience and hope to visit again soon!

Our tour guide in Chengdu is named Lucky, and we were lucky to have her. Extremely informative and knowledgeable. Always smiling, friendly, and flexible. Her restaurant recommendations were perfect. Very helpful with everything we needed. Also, the driver was very safe and friendly. I hope we can do another trip with Odynovo soon.

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.

Our trip to China would not have been possible without Odynovo Tours and it far exceeded our expectations! Alex Xie created a custom 9-day itinerary around two places we really wanted to see: the Great Wall in Beijing and the International Wholesale Marketplace in Yiwu. Every day was packed with history, shows, and foods we couldn't have planned ourselves. We had a designated guide and driver in each of the 3 cities we visited: Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. Both were essential because our Chinese was very poor! Our guides spoke English well and we learned so much more than expected about Chinese life from Crystal, Jimmy, and Tommy. We are so thankful for the connections Odynovo provides to people across continents!!

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.

I absolutely LOVE Odynovo! I first used them for my trip to Egypt and Turkey, and I’m now traveling with them again in China. They are incredibly affordable, and I can’t say enough good things about how stress-free they make traveling. One of my favorite things is that I never have to worry about the logistics. They simply tell me what time to be ready, and everything is taken care of. The private transfers are fantastic, the drivers have all been wonderful, and some of the vehicles have been surprisingly luxurious. I also love how customizable everything is. I tell them what I’m interested in, and they make it happen. I prefer authentic, handmade souvenirs and local experiences over touristy shopping, and my guides have always known exactly where to take me. Those recommendations have led to some of the richest experiences of my travels. Every guide I’ve had has been incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely kind. My first guide in Egypt was wonderful, and in China my first guide, Frank, was so much fun. I’ll never forget his enthusiasm for Cheesecake Factory—it still makes me smile! Our second guide, Michelle, has been so sweet as well, and I’m really looking forward to the rest of our trip with her. I recommend Odynovo to everyone I know, and I genuinely plan to use them for the rest of my life whenever I travel. If you want a trip that’s personalized, seamless, and completely stress-free, I can’t recommend them enough!

Shanghai would not be the same without our tour guide We are a family of 4 with 2 kids (16 and 12yrs) and although we'd been in Asia several times before, we do not speak Chinese and it was our first time in China. Odynovo had provided a great experience to some relatives in 2016, so we decided to trust them again to help us have a nice experience in China. Susan from Odynovo was very kind and flexible to help us build a great private schedule mixing up nature and history. The option of the private tour was perfect since we could tailor the schedule to our needs. Our first stop was Shanghai. We were amazed with the service provided by our guide Kevin in Shanghai, where we spent 5 days in total . He is very kind, polite, highly knowledgeable and versatile, quickly adapting to our rythm and helping us solve our unforseen issues (i.e., stuff we forgot in the boat in the small town of Zhujiao Jiao, helped with the heatstroke of one of our daughters; also chose an amazing restaurant in Suzhou, since the scheduled one was closed). Kevin also is highly knowledgeable in chinese history which provided a more colorful view of the things we've visited in Shanghai, and even gave us advice on texts and links on chinese history as a bonus. We felt safe, cared for and could enjoy the trip at its fullest! We already recommended Kevin for some of our friends in their upcoming trips

Our 10‑night private tour of Japan arranged by Bruce was exceptional. We covered an impressive amount in the time available, with a perfect balance of culture, history and nature across Hiroshima, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Tokyo and Mount Fuji. Every transfer, train journey and hotel was flawlessly organised. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful, and as first‑time visitors we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Japan. We’re already thinking about our next trip and will happily use Odynovo Tours again. Bruce was wonderfully accommodating with any changes — nothing was ever too much trouble, and it was a pleasure working with him.

We had a short, busy and very good visit to Chengdu, Sichuan and were hosted by Abby Hu. She is great. Her English is excellent and she is very knowledgeable of the city and its history, and also familiar with the Shenshuping Panda Base. Like all of our guides contracted with Odynovo, she was also excellent with my 10 year old daughter, who got a lot out of this trip. I would recommend her as a guide in a heartbeat.

Odynovo delivered for our trip to China! We traveled throughout China for 2 weeks using Odynovo and they were great from start to finish! Eric was extremely responsive to all of my emails and worked with me to get a customized itinerary. We requested some personalized experiences to get to know the culture of China and he delivered with several private lessons - a calligraphy class in someone's house, a tai chi lesson in the park and a dumpling making session in someone's house. Once we got to China, everything was seamless from the guides and drivers to the hotels and train tickets that were arranged. All of the hotels were in good locations and had the bed configurations we requested. Each one of the guides was great! They all wanted to do as much as possible to make sure we had a good trip, even walking us to a restaurant for dinner and helping us order, making massage and facial appointments, etc. I highly recommend Odynovo and will use them again for wherever we travel next.

Great Experience in Siem Reap with Odynovo!!! Just completed an Odynovo organized tour of Siem Reap and happy to report everything was just perfect! Our guide, Mr Pin made our trip to the ancient temples of Angkor memorable as he shared not only the rich history but also connected his personal story to the region. Also a big thank you to our driver Mr Smith as everything from the airport pick up/drop off, drives to the Angkor temples and Tonle Sap lake (along with a drive to get massages in town) were great with cold water and towels waiting for us on the van!. Highly Recommended.

Excelente experiencia en Beijing Nuestra experiencia en Beijing fue excelente y, sinceramente, no habría sido la misma sin Lidia. Su ayuda fue fundamental, especialmente con el idioma, ya que en China es muy difícil comunicarse y manejarse por cuenta propia. Gracias a ella pudimos recorrer la ciudad con tranquilidad, entender mucho mejor cada lugar que visitábamos y disfrutar muchísimo más del viaje. Desde el primer momento fue muy amable, atenta y siempre estuvo pendiente de que no nos faltara nada. Nos recibió con mucha calidez, nos brindó toda la información necesaria y respondió cada una de nuestras dudas con una sonrisa. Además, al finalizar el recorrido nos acompañó hasta el vagón del tren para asegurarse de que subiéramos al correcto antes de despedirse, un gesto que realmente demuestra el compromiso que tiene con quienes guía. Lidia hizo que nos sintiéramos acompañados en todo momento y marcó una gran diferencia en nuestra experiencia en Beijing. La recomendamos sin dudarlo y le agradecemos enormemente todo lo que hizo por nosotros!
