Experienced, Personable, Excellent English speaking Guide David was an amazingly interesting and experienced guide. He went far beyond relaying simple facts about the local historical sites, he is happy to share his in depth knowledge of the process of how cultural significant sites have been preserved and the changes ongoing in Chinese society 5 stars should be 6 for anyone lucky enough to have David for a guide

Jack Jiang -- Guide Despite three consecutive days of high temperatures (37C), constant heavy traffic, and very, very large crowds at almost every stop, Jack Jiang was able to make our short visit to Beijing informative and enjoyable. He was able to adjust our program quickly to adapt to circumstances (including using Beijing's impressive subway system to avoid traffic gridlock). Full marks for knowledge of his subject matter and flexibility. Recommended.

The Best Tour Guide in Xi’an – Highly Recommend Vina! We had an amazing experience in Xi’an thanks to our tour guide, Vina, and our wonderful driver. Vina was incredibly knowledgeable about the history, culture, and landmarks of Xi’an, and she truly made our stay unforgettable. She took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of our questions, and shared fascinating stories that brought each site to life. Not only did she guide us through the must-see landmarks, but she also introduced us to authentic local cuisines that we probably would have never discovered on our own. Vina consistently went above and beyond our expectations, ensuring we had the best possible experience throughout our visit. Our driver was equally exceptional—always professional, courteous, and punctual. He was very kind and thoughtful, always opening the door for us and making sure we were comfortable during every part of our journey. Together, they made our trip to Xi’an seamless, enjoyable, and truly memorable. We highly recommend Vina and her driver to anyone visiting Xi’an. Thank you for making our time in Xi’an one of the highlights of our trip to China! 🇨🇳❤️

Beautiful Vietnam I had a wonderful experience with Odynovo in Vietnam. Duc was my guide in Hanoi and he made the experience memorable. He was very informative and kind and was able to explain to me all of the sites that we visited. Trung was also a great driver and was able to get us to each site without any issues. In Ho Chi Minh City, my guide was Mai. She also was also amazing and was able to help me enjoy my experience. I especially enjoyed the Makong river part of the trip. Overall I had an amazing time in Vietnam and the guides and drivers made this an unforgettable experience with great memories.

Amazing China Our private two-week tour of China with Odynovo has been an outstanding experience from beginning to end. Traveling as a group of eight, we were extremely impressed with the planning, organization, hotels, transportation, and overall quality of the tour. A special thank you goes to our wonderful guides—Dina, Jessie, Lucky, LJ, Ms. Sue, and JJ—who were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always eager to help. Their excellent English and local expertise made every destination more meaningful and enjoyable. We would especially like to recognize Lily, our Odynovo tour planner, whose dedication and personal attention exceeded our expectations. Meeting her in person, touring the Odynovo office, sharing dinner together, and receiving thoughtful gifts was a wonderful touch that demonstrated how much Odynovo values its guests. China itself was a pleasant surprise. We found the country to be remarkably clean, modern, safe, and well-organized. Everywhere we went, people were polite, friendly, and welcoming, and the service was consistently excellent. The food was another highlight of the trip—delicious, diverse, and unique in every region we visited. We made a point of trying new dishes every day and were never disappointed. The high-speed train journeys were impressive and comfortable, offering a great way to experience the country. We loved the vibrant cities of Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, each with its own unique character and attractions. Equally unforgettable were the breathtaking natural landscapes of southern China, especially Zhangjiajie and Guilin. The scenery in Zhangjiajie is truly out of this world, while the picturesque countryside around Yangshuo and the drive from Yangshuo to Guilin Airport offered some of the most beautiful views of karst mountains, rivers, and rural landscapes that we have ever seen. We also want to acknowledge the excellent drivers who ensured our travels were safe, smooth, and stress-free throughout the trip. This has been a memorable journey that exceeded all expectations. We loved every minute of it and wholeheartedly recommend Odynovo to anyone looking for a first-class travel experience in China.

Odynovo - The best decision I made!! I had never heard of Odynovo before booking and was a little apprehensive at first, but my contact, Leila Deng, was fantastic throughout the planning process. She was highly responsive and helped us arrange a two-week private tour of China for five people, including all transfers and local tour guides. Choosing a private tour was one of the best decisions we made, as every guide was a local expert with excellent English and extensive knowledge of their city. Beijing – Alice Our journey began in Beijing with Alice, who immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. Her knowledge of the city’s history and culture was outstanding, and she provided fascinating insights throughout our sightseeing. Alice was friendly, professional, and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Pingyao – Nina In Pingyao, Nina was a wonderful guide who brought the ancient city to life with her local knowledge and engaging explanations. She was warm, attentive, and always willing to answer questions, making our visit both enjoyable and informative. Xi’an – Jessica Jessica guided us through Xi’an with enthusiasm and expertise. She shared the city’s rich history in an engaging way and helped us make the most of our time there, especially showing us the best photo spots at he Terracotta Army. Chongqing – Yudy Yudy was our guide in Chongqing and did an excellent job introducing us to this vibrant and unique city. Her local knowledge, organisation, and willingness to go the extra mile ensured we had a fantastic experience and felt well looked after throughout our stay. Zhangjiajie – Ivy In Zhangjiajie, Ivy was exceptional. She expertly guided us through the breathtaking scenery and ensured we enjoyed every aspect of our visit. Her professionalism, friendliness, and local expertise made a lasting impression on our group. Shanghai – Bonnie Our final stop was Shanghai, where Bonnie was a fantastic guide. She was knowledgeable, personable, and helped us appreciate both the modern and historical sides of the city. Bonnie made our last few days in China especially enjoyable and memorable. All of our guides were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. We would also like to thank the drivers in each city, whose safe and reliable service contributed greatly to the success of our trip. We will definitely be using Odynovo again in the future and would like to thank Leila, all of our guides, and the drivers for making our visit to China such a memorable experience.

Trinh is amazing!! Trinh was great! So informative and kind. We wanted an informational trip that also incorporated little things we wanted to do such as shopping. She knew so much about the history and was so entertaining. She also let us rest appropriately, never making us feel bad for sleeping in the car LOL. I’d definitely tour with her again :)

Enjoyed trip w/tour guide Sisi in Beijing Sisi was our tour guide in Beijing. Everything went very well. We highly recommend her. Very kind & effective. Paid attention to our wellbeing.

Another great tour with Odynovo in Xi'an We had a great experience with our Odynovo guide, Zoe in Xi'an. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the Terracotta Warriors. She gave great food recommendations, having us tey things that are not the usual food go to that we, as America's would try. We love tge door to door service, from picking us up at the train station to getting us to security at the airport, and even arranging for the hotel to pack us a breakfast to go since we checked out before breakfast service. She recommended an amazing cultural show about the Silk Road that was worth the time, as the production was amazing! Definitely will use Odynovo again.

Jack and his driver made our visit unforgettable! Our stay in Beijing was amazing! We were so lucky to have Jack as our guide and his driver taking us around the city. Jack was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the history, culture, and daily life in China. Every day we learned something new and interesting. And the driver deserves a special mention too — he always managed to park as close as possible to the entrances, which made everything so much easier and comfortable, especially after long days exploring. We also loved our hotel. Beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after busy days discovering Beijing. Beijing truly exceeded our expectations and made this trip unforgettable!

Great tour guide and easy planning Our experience with Odynovo has been seamless! Since reaching out to the company to start planning my 16 day teip in China, to my first stop in Beijing has been great. Bruce designed a wonderful trip for us and took the worry out of planning. When we got here, our guide, Alice Z, met us at the airport and provided a wonderful guide through Tianamen Square, The Forbidden City and The Great Wall for 2 days in Beijing We appreciated her flexibility to walk further on the wall and not constrain us with a time limit like you'd find on a bus tour. All of her food recommendations were delicious! She even recommended we add a Chinese Acrobat show, since we had time one evening, and we enjoyed it. She told us where to find a lical shopping district for our spare time as well. Our driver was great too! His car was clean and comfortable and we always felt safe with him. I highly recommend this company and ask for Alice Z in Beijing!

Private Tour in Beijing My family of four spent 2 plus days in Beijing exploring the city of Beijing and its surrounding areas including Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, and the Great Wall via private tour with Odynovo. Our driver Mr. Yao was always on time and had great knowledge of how to weave through the Beijing traffic; he even went out of his way to bring us to the bank to exchange money on a detour. Our guide Dina was amazing and very knowledgeable, clearly having many years of experience navigating the hot tourist spots such as knowing the best places to take pictures, finding where to buy artisan souvenirs, and avoiding crowds. She went above and beyond: helping us order unique foods at the restaurants and dropping us off at the train station for our next destination in Xian. We would highly recommend touring with Odynovo.
