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!

Great time in Beijing Our guide Tracey was amazing. Her knowledge of the city and the resources she had made our trip amazing and smooth. She made it a priority to make sure my mom and I had the best experience. If you want a guide that will go the extra mile to help you coordinate extra curricular outside the tour itinerary and get past long waits, she is your guide. Her experiences in this really shows where she learn and understand what you want as a tourist and accommodate for that. I am very grateful to have her as a guide. Her recommendations, tips, and attentiveness made our trip really easy and great.

Such a great experience in Beijing! We had such a great experience while in Beijing! We spent 4 and a half days in the city with our guide, Roy, and driver Mr Bai, where we hit all the highlights - Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Temple of Heaven, Lama Temple, Chang Tomb, Great Wall, Bird’s Nest And Olympic stadiums - with great cultural and historical detail from Roy. All of the restaurants that he took us to were delicious as well! Additionally, we asked in the moment for Roy to show us a tea ceremony, tour Qianmen Hutong, go shopping at Silk Street, help us find some medicine, and even take us to a dentist for an emergency tooth issue. Roy was amazingly attentive, earnest, and went above and beyond for us throughout the entire trip. Thank you for making our experience so awesome!

Truly above and beyond My recent trip with Odynovo in China has truly exceeded all of my expectations, and I will absolutely be booking another with them again. Everything about my trip, from the itinerary planning discussions with Max, to the incredible places we visited and excellent accomodations, has made this a truly once in a lifetime journey that I am so grateful for. The itinerary was tailored to my interests and had a great mix of sites so I was able to experience some of the stunning natural scenery, rich history and modern cities of China. I also always felt like I had someone to reach out to in case I had any issues, which added a layer of comfort and security. I want to especially thank my exceptional guides: Eva in Beijing, Bob in Luoyang, Dary in Xi'an, Ellen in Guilin and Nancy in Shanghai. They were all absolutely amazing! Super kind, knowledgable, generous and made sure I had everything I needed. If you have a chance to have them as your guide/s, know you are in great hands!I am so glad I booked this experience with Odynovo and can highly, highly recommend them. Thank you so much!

John Hu with Odynovo Our experience with Odynovo was the best. John Hu, our consultant was extremely thorough and answered any questions promptly. He was fantastic!! I would highly recommend John to plan your travel plans. Our experience was flawless!! Thank you, John Hu

14 day Tour to the North East of Vietnam We had a fantastic holiday Vietnam; very well organised, as usual, by Odynovo.We visited the breathtaking North East of Vietnam, Hanoi, Ninh Binh and the magnificent Halong Bay. We want to especially thank our guide Sunny, for sharing, day after day, all his knowledge and insights with us; but also for his patience, kindness and strong focus on our wellbeing !!Sunny formed a great team with the driver Le; Le also did a great job : always on time and he stopped whenever / wherever we wanted to take pictures. But also always taking our safety into account !We are looking forward to our next destiny which we will do again with Odynovo , but then we will defintely miss Sunny and Le 😍

Hanoi When we arrived in Hanoi we were met by Tinh. He was a pleasure to be with as we toured the city and countryside. He was very friendly and provided my wife and information about each of the sites we visited and answered any questions we had. It was apparent to us that Tinh truly enjoys sharing the history and culture of Vietnam. Throughout our visit Tinh available to answer any questions we had. He kept us on schedule and was timely. Tinh is a true professional that enjoys sharing his knowledge.

Beijing Tour Odynovo went above and beyond to make sure we were taking g care of in our 3 days in Beijing! Our tour guide Sisi was amazing, kind and knowledge. We love her and our driver Mr. Peace who make us feel at home. 10 out of 10 for these two!!!

Odynovo rocks! Recently back from two weeks in Egypt, visiting Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada. One week was a riding (horse) trip with Ride Egypt, but we had Odynovo book all of our activities, travel and lodging outside of that. Everything with Odynovo was SEAMLESS, well organized and top notch. Even had a glitch with one of our groups travel to Egypt which was handled immediately by our fantastic agent Mia Wang. I will continue to use them for my world travel which is the highest compliment that I can give.

It was overall a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend using Odynovo for your next trip! This was my second trip to China with Odynovo. I visited last Fall and enjoyed it so much I wanted to come back and explore other areas. We did the 20 day tour of Yunnan area. Because we had already seen some of the major attractions in Beijing, Shanghai, and Xian in our prior trip, our tour consultant John Hu did an great job of customizing the tour to allow us to see different sites and attractions in Beijing and Shanghai. And instead of Xian, we visited Chongqing instead. I like that they take care of all the planning: the hotels, the transportation including trains and domestic flights between the cites. All the tour guides spoke English very well and did a great job also of sharing their knowledge of the different sites. In Beijing we saw so many new places: the Confucius temple, the Summer Palace, the National Museum of China, which is very hard to get tickets for, a boat ride of Kunming lake, an acrobatics show, the Ming Tombs, and underground palace and a Peking Opera at the Liyuan Theatre. Our Beijing tour guide, Mr. Edward, was excellent: Very attentive, patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and slowed down his pace to match ours when necessary. He and his driver were always so pleasant and welcoming. They went above and beyond to make sure we always had what we needed. In Chongqing we visited the Three Gorges Museum, The People's Square, Eling Park, the Great Hall of the People, Raffles City and watched a train go through a building. There was a minor issue with the tour guide's schedule and our itinerary. However, John Hu, our Odynovo travel consultant, responded very quickly and apologized for the mix up and we were treated to a lovely dinner in a beautify restaurant inside a cave in Guilin. It was a most memorable experience, and I really appreciate Odynovo's quick response to resolve the issue.Jianshui and Yuanyang were also excellent: We especially enjoyed the beautiful and spa like Oness Resort in Yuanyang. Excellent accommodations and service! Our tour guide Rosemary did a great job, and our driver Mrs. Gao did a fantastic job often driving us very long distances to get to our different sites. And always pleasant and with a welcoming smile to greet us.Lijiang was very beautiful and cozy. The Bivou Lijiang hotel had excellent accommodations and service. They also serve a diverse food menu in their restaurant for those who may be craving some western style dishes. Louise our tour guide did a great job of explaining the culture and history of the region. The Jade Dragon Stone Mountain and the Tiger Leaping Gorge are spectacular.In Guilin, we cruised the gorgeous Li River and watched the amazing Show of Impression in Yangshuo. A special shout out to Sharon our Guilin tour guide. She is so warm, patient, and welcoming. Always making sure we were well taken care of and ready to help/adapt as needed, whenever possible, for any requests or changes. We only stayed in the Bravo hotel for one night but it was excellent. Very large comfy rooms and excellent breakfast and dinner buffets with a large assortment of delicious Chinese and Western style food. The Yangshuo Li River Resort hotel is a very modern but cozy small boutique style hotel with excellent accommodations and a beautiful balcony view of the Limestone mountains.Our last leg of the trip was in Shanghai. Sophie did a great job of explaining the culture and history. We visited Suzhou and heard some beautiful opera singers and musicians in an outside concert setting (tea and opera music). The Humble Administrators garden was beautiful but also extremely crowded: shoulder to shoulder in some cases; So just be aware if you don't like crowds. but I would say it's still worth it. In the ancient town of Tongli, we took a leisurely boat ride in historic alleyways. Lots of great photo opportunities. Definitely would recommend this. Also visited the ancient Zhujiajiao water town, which was also lovely. This was an amazing trip. If I were to do it again, I would schedule to arrive a few days ahead of when the tour actually begins. There is a lot packed in and a lot of walking so bring good walking shoes or comfortable sneakers to get up and down all the steps sometimes required to get to certain sites. And bring some sunscreen and a sun hat. Some of the areas we visited were quite sunny and warm: t shirt like weather. Also plan for some night viewing as many places are beautifully lit up in the evening, especially along the water. If you are staying in Shanghai or Chongqing, there are several excellent upscale malls that serve many different types of food if you are craving something other than local Chinese food, which is also very good. For Shanghai Sunrise on the Bund hotel, there is the SMP Mall and the Raffles city mall. about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. For Chongqing there is also an upscale mall inside the international hotel building (can't remember the name.)

An amazing 14 day private tour through Thailand! In November 2025 we took a 14 day private tour organized by Kristy Ho, of Odynovo Tours. She helped us develop an amazing itinerary, and the trip was fabulous! The guides in both Bangkok (Nina) and Chiang Mai/Chiang Rai (Tukta) were the best, as were the drivers! The hotels she booked were beautiful, convenient, and had great views. The restaurants were delicious, and the activities (from temples to caring for elephants to learning how to cook Thai food to hiking to beautiful waterfalls, etc) were both interesting and fun. This was truly an amazing trip, and I highly recommend using this agency to plan your private tour in Southeast Asia.

Hanoi and Ha Long Bay We had a great time in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay with our guide Trinh - she was very helpful, chatty and informative and made everything super easy for us as well as sharing a lot of interesting information about Vietnamese history and culture. Thanks also to Hai, our driver, for navigating the streets of Hanoi (!!) and getting us everywhere safely and on time.

Fantastic China Trip We just spent an incredible time in China on our nine day tour organized by Odynovo Tours! From the planning of the trip with Leila Deng to the actual tour, everything was done efficiently and professionally. Our trip included a stop in Guilin, Yangshuo, Xi’an and Beijing. Our guide in Guilin/Yangshou was Irene, driver Mr. Lu, guide Linda/driver Mr. Deng in Xi’an and guide Alice/driver Mr. Zhang in Beijing were fantastic! Guides were very knowledgeable and were very patient as there was five in our group including an active 6 year old boy!As travel in China has become more popular, we know that doing this trip by ourselves would have been impossible! We found the guides very helpful with guiding us through the crowds and to translate for us! I would definitely recommend Odynovo to my friends and family!
