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

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.

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

Historical and cultural tour with an amazing guide! We took our students on a tour to Beijing and Tracy from Odynovo was our tour guide. She was absolutely fantastic, very knowledgeable about the places we went to and the history of China. She also gave us useful tips for navigating Beijing and was very fun to be around! :) Tracy knows how to read the room so no tour felt tedious either. A highly recommended tour and Tracy as your guide! Thanks for making our trip fantastic!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Amazing Shanghai with Mark Mark Ren was great. Mark found all the interesting places that I was looking for, the bund, English in French concessions, and the little things out that were out of the way that made this such a great trip. Suzhou Was a high light

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

An Excellent Experience with Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely wonderful experience touring Beijing with Lee over two full days. He was an outstanding guide: incredibly kind, patient, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs. He took us to some of Beijing’s most iconic landmarks, including the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square. Every visit was made even more special by his knowledge, interesting explanations, and genuine passion for sharing the history and culture of China. Lee was always patient, accommodating, and happy to answer all our questions. He made sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed every moment of our visit. We are truly grateful for such a wonderful experience and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Lee made our time in Beijing unforgettable! We highly recommend Lee to anyone visiting Beijing. Thank you, Lee, for two fantastic days!

Great experience with a private tour My family and I were looking for a private guide to take us on a specialized one-day trip exploring a small village in China where my family has a lot of history. We do not speak any Chinese, so we needed a translator. Another family member had recommended Odynovo, and they did not disappoint! Our guide was very knowledgeable, and had clearly done his research before meeting up with us, as he seemed to know quite a bit about the family. He was also very flexible and happy to meet our needs, letting us request to prioritize seeing certain areas and skip others. He was excellent at communicating with the locals and helped us to connect meaningfully with them through his translation. On top of it all, he was very kind and friendly and easy to talk to. Throughout the journey and planning stages, our travel consultant was very communicative and easy to get a hold of if we had any questions. Given the specialization of this tour, I found the price to be reasonable. I highly recommend this tour company!

The Best! This was my first Odynovo experience. They came highly recommended by family and friends. My first visit to Japan could not have been more wonderful! Odynovo is super responsive and accommodating. They are careful to provide whatever you request, eg, types of experiences and what you wish to do. The hotels they reserved were stellar -- comfortable, extremely quiet (as requested), staff everywhere very attentive and kind. The guides and drivers I met at each city were incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful. Because the guides are local experts, I learned so much about the culture, history, and best places to visit throughout my journey. Japan is a very safe place to travel, and the guides and drivers made this feeling even more so! They were very caring and kind; I feel as though I've made many new friends. My only regret is I wish I had spent more time in each location....there is so much to see. Happily, this means another visit to Japan with Odynovo's help in the future!

Incredible Tour Guide Quality Our tour guide Amy really made the entire experience exceptional! Her attention to the needs of the various age and capabilities within our group is amazing - leaving mom at the massage and hair while the active adults went out exploring. Our 10 day tour was a wurlwind of meaningfully authentic and incredibly beautiful places. Worth a mention is the resort style floating hotel - similar to grass cots at the ocean but this is inland river - ever bit beautiful in its own way. Amy has deep knowledge - having been a tour guide for 30 years. Despite her saying "you are VIP" - chuckles- it is very apparent that she is nimble and can slot in/substitute equivalent activities at the last minute! During this trip i had a major allergic reaction and had to visit the ER. I contacted her and the other guide and driver sprung into action... within a short time I was seen by a local doctor and had drugs administered. I felt I was well looked after in all parts of the trip up to the point where they checked us into the flight. I had a few communication wrinkles on other trips with them in the past, but this trip proves using them continues to be a sure bet. I will for sure use them for China just because of how incredible Amy was.

Excellent 15 days China tour We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our 15-day China tour, visiting Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Furong Ancient Town, Guilin, Yangshuo, and Shanghai. It was truly an unforgettable journey filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, rich culture, and amazing experiences. A special thank-you to our travel agent, Tom Zhou, for organizing such a fantastic trip from beginning to end. Everything was thoughtfully planned and well coordinated, including transportation, hotels, sightseeing, and daily itineraries. The entire journey went smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every destination without worrying about the details. We would also like to give a huge thank-you to all our tour guides, Jessica, Donna, Joey, Boon and Michelle. They were knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, answered all our questions, and made each destination special in its own way. We especially appreciated the excellent organization, attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine care shown by the entire team throughout our trip. It was clear that everyone involved truly wanted us to have the best possible experience. We highly recommend Odynovo and its wonderful tour guides to anyone planning a trip to China! Thank you to the entire team for making our 15-day China adventure so special. We returned home with wonderful memories, and beautiful photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Professional from Start to Finish We (father and son-in-law) had an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. We contacted Owen online and over several weeks he answered our questions promptly and worked with us in payment installments. The tour itself was handled by the Driver/Guide Mohamed Fakhir, who has an incredible skill set. He speaks five languages, is knowledgeable, decisive, flexible, andpassionate about and proud of his amazing country. But to be an excellent guide in Morroco, youbhabe to be a skillful driver because of all the passing that takes place. Mohammed was exceptional in this respect. We loved the range of small towns, big cities, the desert, markets, mountains, and most of all the warmth and hospitality universal across Morocco. We loved just about every minute.

Amazing travel company love them Just returned from a 17 day trip around China, all aranged by Odynovo travel. They were amazing all our guides were locals with perfect english. The transport hotels and activites were all booked for us and i cant express how impressed we were. Allen in the office kept in regular contact with us and was always available, he was lovely so helpful. Our guides were outstanding every single one, they all went beyond are expectations. I would 100% recommend them and would use them again.

Beijing 3 day trip Randy was our guide for this step our trip. We did 3 days in Beijing each one better than the last, we visited multiple locations and randy was there to inform us of all information in the area, suggestions for restaurants and for all the information given to us for each day. It was a great experience overall and if you are looking to make your trip to Beijing very easy and everything looked after tickets and restaurants wise I would highly recommend !

Highly recommend! We had Tuấn Nguyễn as our guide in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay during the last few days of our recent honeymoon, and he was fantastic. He was incredibly professional, prompt, attentive, and made sure we were always where we needed to be on time, while still keeping everything relaxed and enjoyable. He was extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much from him about the history and culture of northern Vietnam. What we appreciated most was how personable he was. Even though we were only together for a few days, we really felt like we got to know him. He was calm, cool, collected, and just genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. We would highly recommend Tuấn and Odynovo to anyone visiting northern Vietnam, 5/5 stars!

Beautiful Hanoi We spent three wonderful days touring Hanoi with Mr. T as our tour guide and Tuan as our driver, and we had an absolutely fantastic experience! Mr. T was an outstanding tour guide! He was knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and traditions of Vietnam. He made our time in Hanoi both educational and enjoyable, and we learned so much along the way. His friendly personality and attention to our group made the experience even more special. Our driver, Tuan, was equally wonderful. He was professional, courteous, dependable, and always made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout our travels. Everything was organized beautifully, and our three days went smoothly from beginning to end. We truly appreciated the care, professionalism, and attention to detail that made our tour so enjoyable. I would highly recommend Odynovo to anyone planning a trip to Vietnam. If you have the opportunity to tour with Mr. T and have Tuan as your driver, you will be in excellent hands! Thank you, Odynovo, Mr. T, and Tuan, for making our time in Hanoi such a memorable experience!

Great Experience in Beijing Chaoyang Park, Shichahai, and the Bird’s Nest each offer a different side of Beijing. Chaoyang Park is a great place to relax, with spacious green areas and peaceful lakeside paths. Shichahai has a charming atmosphere, combining beautiful lake views with traditional hutongs, small shops, and local food. The Bird’s Nest stands out for its unique architecture and Olympic history, making it a memorable stop and a great spot for photos. Together, these three places offer a lovely mix of nature, traditional culture, and modern design.

Egypt tour, fantastic! The tour was great! The tour guides were very thorough and very knowledgeable. This trip was rescheduled from March, when chaos erupted in the Middle East. was very responsive when we had to reschedule due to safety concerns. The trip was safe and we never felt the least bit of concern for our safety. Fantastic sites and fantastic care from the local tour guides as well as Cathy at Odynovo!

Excellent Stay and guide We had an amazing stay in Xi-an. Our guide Zoe was just fabulous. She made the sites more interesting, her English was awesome and we learned so much about history. The Terracotta Army was on our bucket list. In Zoe suggested a Virtual Reality experience of the mausloeum and the Silk Road tour and both were spectacular.

Tour guide The Duc peter was our tour guide, he was excellent any aspect of this tour. He was very courteous, punctual and took care of is all the way to the end. And the Driver James Hung was reliable driver to take us point one to the other. It made our trip to be much more enjoyable!!

Beijing 2 day tour We had a short stay in Beijing, but Hazel and our driver, Mr. Huang, made sure we saw as much as possible. We visited both historical sites and modern landmarks, and their excellent driving and guidance helped us make the most of our limited time. Hazel is a well-mannered, cheerful and hardworking professional with great knowledge of Beijing. We really enjoyed the tour and would happily recommend her to anyone visiting the city!

Tour in Beijing We spent two wonderful days exploring Beijing, visiting some of its most iconic attractions, including the Giant Pandas, Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, and traditional Hutongs, as well as enjoying the spectacular Red Theatre Acrobatic Show. The tour was well organized, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. A special thank you to our fantastic tour guide, Hazel, and our driver, Mr. Zhang, who took excellent care of our group throughout the two days. Their professionalism and kindness made our visit truly memorable and unforgettable.

Odynovo excels again! We've used Odynovo for two fabulous trips to India, and our recent 12-day one to Egypt (Cairo, Nile cruise, Abu Simbel) was equally spectacular. Our coordinator, Owen Zhou, catered for all our desires--booking exactly what we wanted--and Odynovo's local agency provided truly excellent guides and drivers. A private tour is certainly the way to go in terms of navigating the crowds, also enabling us to see far more than most would expect. We couldn't be happier. And here's a tip: make sure you stay the night in Abu Simbel!

Ada, wonderful tour guide of Beijing My trip to Beijing was wonderful, and my experience was enhanced because of the efforts and professionalism of my tour guide, Ada Ding. All of the logistics were handled professionally and the entire journey was perfect. Ada is very knowledgeable and knows her way around all of the sites that we visited. Her local knowledge saved us a lot of time in navigating thevarious lines and entry points. She is a very nice person to be with and very pleasant and patient. I appreciate the fact that every morning she was punctual at the hotel and would always get there 30 minutes prior to our scheduled time is very important to me and I appreciate for punctuality. When I landed at the airport in Beijing, I had been traveling for 24 hours from the United States and at that point I was tired and borderline delirious. I was relieved when I got to the specified area at the airport and she was there greeting me just as described in the schedule. That was a relief thank you!! I highly recommend Ada and this Tour group

Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang with Lisa Fantastic experience in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang with Lisa as our guide. Despite some weather challenges in Avatar area, Lisa was constantly energetic and enthusiastic. Thoroughly recommend Fenghuang which isn't on standard tourist route and thoroughly recommend Lisa as a guide.

2 days in Beijing Randy met our extra requests and allowed us to fully enjoy the Great Wall. Thank you Randy

Great experience with kids We had an amazing family trip through Guilin, Longsheng, and Yangshuo, and so much of that was thanks to our guide, Jessica. Traveling with little kids can be stressful, but Jessica was incredibly accommodating from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking. The Longji rice terraces in Longsheng were stunning, and Jessica knew exactly where to stop for the best views without too much walking for the little ones. I highly recommend Odynovo especially if you are traveling with kids.

China - honoring the past and embracing the future Thank you Max for the 2-week tour of China that you designed for us. From Beijing to Xian to Guilin to Yangtze River to Shanghai we were able to experience the great country and civilization of China, and two weeks was just enough to cover everything. Every guide, every connection, every handoff was planned so well. We were always taken care of. We appreciate that very much. We came back with wonderful memories and even greater admiration of China and will spread the word. The guides you selected were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring and flexible. We especially liked Frank in Xian who was wonderful- he dashed to get us to see pagoda in Xian; Chen in Beijing who helped us negotiate tourist crowds in Tiannemen Square; Angel in Guilin who made extra effort to see farm house; Jerry in Yichang, Stephen in Shanghai; and a few others. Each guide was very kind and helpful, especially to one of our companions who has had back surgeries and has limited mobility. Thank them from us please. The hotels were just amazing, one after the other astounded us with joy and comfort- you truly met our expectations! Sugar House Retreat was a unique treat for us as we could not stop admiring the unique architecture- keeping the old while ultramodern amenities- and the beautiful landscapes around it! The other hotels were fantastic too! We loved Wyndham Grand's (in Xian) comfort and style, and the free laundry was a bonus. In two weeks we were able to cover a lot of history, natural landscapes, big cities and technological advancement (eg. Three Gorges Dam) ! We enjoyed the short cruise and the 3-day cruise on Yangtze River which gave us a intimate look at the natural beauty, and the people. Thank you again for an unforgettable experience!

Wandering thru Nature's Paradise We had the best experience with Lucky from Chengdu to visit Jiuzhaigou. She was highly knowledgeable and informative of all the local attractions and cultures. She spoke English very well and went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable. Her friendly and pleasant personality made our whole trip with her thoroughly enjoyable. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting this region.

2 Days in Beijing Randy was an excellent guide in Beijing. Very willing to answer our requests. Very professional and knowledgeable, we can say that we were very happy.

A great tour guide and driver My husband and I just finished a 3 night tour of Beijing with tour guide Dina and driver Mr Meng. It was our first time to China and to be honest we were anxious. But we didn't need to worry. Dina has over 26 years of experience and it showed. She met us promptly at the airport, helped me with Alipay and WeChat, moved us through the busiest tourist sites, and finally helped settle us onto our train to Xi'an. She is fabulous, personable and efficient! Mr Meng is a very safe driver and we were able to relax even in rush hour traffic!
