5 out of 5 stars for Gina Liu @ Odynovo. So glad I booked with them for our China trip . The guides in both Cities ( Chengdu/Beijing ) went above and beyond. Really polite and made sure we were comfortable and hydrated as it was their summer season. Definitely recommend going with a guide if it’s your first time over there it take the stress out of finding your way around..

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Guide We Could Have Asked For! Our family of twelve had the absolute privilege of spending several days in Beijing with Emma, and we truly cannot imagine our trip without her. From the very first moment we met her, she welcomed us with such warmth and kindness that it felt like we were being shown around the city by a dear friend. She made us feel comfortable, cared for, and completely at home throughout our entire stay. Emma is incredibly knowledgeable, and her passion for Beijing shines through in every story and every place she shares. She brought the city’s history and culture to life in such an engaging way that every stop became a memorable experience. On top of that, she has a wonderful sense of humor that kept us laughing, and her Spanish is absolutely fluent, making communication effortless for everyone in our family. What truly made Emma extraordinary, however, was the care and dedication she showed us beyond the tour itself. At the end of our time in Beijing, she accompanied us to the train station for our journey to our next destination. As a family of twelve, we expected the station to be stressful and overwhelming, but Emma transformed it into one of the most memorable parts of our trip. She guided us every step of the way, made sure we were treated like special guests all the way to our seats, and even surprised us by buying lunch and carefully packing everything for us to enjoy on the train. It was such an unexpected and thoughtful gesture that touched our hearts. Emma consistently went above and beyond anything we expected from a tour guide. Her professionalism, generosity, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel like family. Thanks to her, we didn’t just visit Beijing—we experienced it in a way we will treasure forever. If you’re looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, fun, compassionate, and truly passionate about creating unforgettable experiences, look no further than Emma. We give her our highest recommendation and are deeply grateful for everything she did for our family. She was one of the highlights of our entire trip, and we will always remember her with great appreciation. Thank you, Emma, for making our time in Beijing so special. We hope to see you again someday!

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.

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!
