I used Odynovo for a private 11-day tour across China with my fiancé and it was fantastic! The itinerary was organized by Lily Guo and she did a great job! We went to Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, Yangshuo, and Shanghai. We hit all the major highlights in each area, and the hotel picks were awesome. There was a local guide at each city, and all of them were extremely knowledgeable about both ancient and modern Chinese history/culture. They were also patient and accommodating - they would let me and my partner choose how long to spend in an area, what kind of food we wanted to eat, what we wanted to see first, etc. They'd also adjust the daily itinerary if needed, and sometimes even added extra activities/places that they knew we'd enjoy! Additionally, Odynovo took care of all transportation within and between cities, and each tour guide made sure we were fully situated before seeing us off at the airport or train station. Odynovo did an amazing job organizing this tour and taking care of us. It was such a beautiful trip that I even got engaged during it! I will definitely be using their services in the future. P.S., I want to specifically shout out our tour guide Sharon in Guilin/Yangshuo. My mother joined us on the tour and accidentally injured herself, but Sharon and the driver immediately took charge, taking my mother to the hospital, and Sharon ran around helping with paperwork to ensure my mom got the care she needed as quickly as possible. I will always be grateful for that.

Xi’an with Odynovo Had a lovely time visiting Xi’an and the terracotta warriors in particular. This was part of a 14 day China tour. Our guide Jessica Kou was very sweet and knowledgeable. She took us to some excellent restaurants and was very attentive. Would use Odynovo again.

​We spent 4 days and 3 nights exploring Ho Chi Minh City, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip! Our guide, Tino, and driver, Dat, were incredible. Tino’s deep local knowledge, passion for history, and kindness made every moment special. Beyond showing us the "real" Vietnam, we spent so much time laughing and sharing cultural perspectives. By the end of the tour, they felt like lifelong friends. We miss them already and can't wait to catch up over beers on our next adventure! I highly recommend requesting Tino and Dat for your trip. 🍻🇻🇳

A personalized tour of Beijing we highly recommend We were looking for a guide to help us navigate Beijing on fairly short notice and this company did a great job of putting together a package that included hotels, driver, and a guide. We wanted to see highlights of Beijing and also the Great Wall of China. When we arrived at the airport, we were met by the guide for the week, Albert Zhang, and taken into the city by our driver, Mr. Jin. They booked us at the Regent hotel, and the guide helped us get checked in. The next day, Albert met us at the hotel and took us to the forbidden city which, despite the rain, was really fascinating. The original schedule called for us to have a hot pot lunch and a Beijing duck dinner, but we realized that was way too much for one day, so Albert rearranged the schedule to spread those things out. After a local lunch, we got to see some other parts of the central area of Beijing and learned a lot about the history of the place before returning to the hotel The next day, we were picked up again and driven to a terrific spot on the wall where we could walk in both directions for quite a distance and could see just how great this structure really is. We then went to a second spot at a town called Watertown, also known as Gubei, where we saw the sunset from the wall and then, in the town where we were also staying, saw a live multimedia show that showed the building of the wall. This town is fairly newly built and sort of Disneyland Ish so it is a neat place to walk around. Albert met us again the next morning and we drove back to Beijing where we visited the summer Palace, also a very impressive site, and we finished the day with the Beijing duck meal we had been promised. Delicious and worth waiting for. We had time on our own the last day, so we found a driver that drove us to Tiananmen Square and also the temple of heaven, the two sites we had not yet seen. Having to navigate these two sites on our own helped us appreciate having our guide all week. To end our trip Albert picked us up one last time, took us for a wonderful hot pot meal and then deposited us at the airport, making sure we were all checked in. Overall, this is terrific experience, and we were impressed with the people, the culture, and the quality of the tour. We would highly recommend it.

Wonderful time in Beijing with Odynovo My husband and I have just spent 3 wonderful days in Beijing thanks to Odynovo tour guide Randy Zhu. He showed us around Beijing sites, The Forbidden City, The Great Wall and the Temple of Heaven amongst other places. He has so much information about Beijing and its history. He is also funny and has a great sense of humour. He looked after us and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. He speaks excellent English which was so helpful as we speak no Chinese. I would highly recommend Odynovo and tour guide Randy Zhu.

Tom Wu is an excellent tour guide for Guillin / Yanghoue. Our visit in Guilin was excellent. As a tour guide we had Tom Wu, who made our experience very special. He was going through the Long-Ji rice teracces at a path without tourists. Additionally he made a cycling tour through the landscape of Yangshoe.

This tour company has been amazing and one of the best I’ve experienced. They are always responsive, helpful and provide professional friendly service! We did a tour of Vietnam and although there were some issues with closures due to weather they quickly found an alternative. The cooking class and lunch with a local family was a highlight. The guides were so friendly and welcoming. The hotels were 5 stars. We will definitely look to book another tour with them!

A Perfect 10/10 Beijing Experience! Thank you, Alice & Mr. Wang! Our trip to Beijing was nothing short of spectacular, and we owe a huge part of that to the incredible team at Odynova. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely taken care of, but the true stars of our journey were our guide, Alice Zuo, and our driver, Mr. Wang. Alice was an absolute gem. Her knowledge of Chinese history and culture is vast, and she brought every site to life with fascinating stories and historical context. We visited the iconic Great Wall, which was a breathtaking experience—Alice helped us find the best spots for photos and guided us along a route that wasn't too crowded. She was equally passionate at the Summer Palace, explaining the intricate details of the architecture and the royal family’s history. Exploring the Forbidden City felt like stepping back in time, and Alice navigated us through the massive complex seamlessly, ensuring we didn’t miss any highlights. Finally, the Hutong tour was a highlight; she gave us a genuine glimpse into the local way of life, which we would have completely missed without her. A huge shout-out to Driver Mr. Wang as well. Navigating Beijing traffic is no small feat, but he handled it with such professionalism and calmness. The vehicle was always spotless, and he was incredibly patient, always waiting for us with a warm smile and cold bottled water ready after a long day of sightseeing. Odynova clearly knows how to curate a flawless experience. We never felt rushed, the logistics were perfect, and their attention to detail was second to none. If you are looking for a stress-free, deep, and enriching tour of Beijing, look no further. Thank you, Odynova, Alice, and Mr. Wang, for making our trip so memorable!

Part 1 of our multi city Vietnam trip From booking and planning our trip to pick up at Hanoi International, and drop off at domestic ( to start the second leg of our trip) we felt supported and so well looked after. Trinh ( our guide) was always welcoming with a huge smile, also incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all our questions around the history of this incredible country. Le ( our driver) was always in on time and safe when transporting us around. We highly recommend this as a holiday destination and Odyonovo as a safe and reliable tour company.

Tour of Xian Jessica and mr joe were fantastic help in Xian. Joe was always punctual and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Jessica was incredibly informative with her narrative on the history and detail of the emperors, the terracotta warriors and the highlights of the city. It was very impressive! We would highly recommend odynovo tours with these guides in China. Mario and Angela from Perth WA

ODYNOVO tours of China for 18 days, including Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, and Shanghai was amazing. The original tour package was for 14 days, but we worked with Mia Wang to customize our trip for our family to add extra free days to shop or explore on our own too. This was my family's first time to China, so wanted it to be a good experience throughout, and Odynovo Tours delivered. The tour was private one for our family of 4, and all transfers were seamless with pick up from airport with the guide, private van took us to our hotels, and to all the sites. All rapid train tickets booked, and 1 small flight to the next city. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. They made our experience even more rich and enjoyable. Thank you Dina, Linda, Walter, Sunny, and Jay Jay!!! Guides were attentive to our needs, and made sure we safely got from one location to the next. They were also our own personal photpgraphers. We have the most family portraits compared to other trips. Day tours were also flexible if we were too tired, we could adjust the tour or have a rest back at the hotel. There was a good mixture of site seeing, and family activities, including calligraphy, making terracotta warriors, and making wishes. All food experiences were top notch, and accomodations very comfortable. The trip and itenaries were very well planned. Some accomodations 4 to 5 stars and luxurious. Only Chengdu location was a bit tight, but location still very nice. Would of been nice to have an extra day there to rest, since it was midway through our trip. We would recommend Odynovo Tours to plan your next trip. We would use them again for our future trips too.

Tour of Beijing Dina was our tour guide and mr wang was our driver. They both were very exceptional! Mr wang drove us in a very clean upmarket car and made sure that we were comfortable. Always had water ready for us. Dina was a great guide who knew about the history of Beijing, its culture and customs. It was very informative. She was pleasant and genuine. We enjoyed her company and knowledge. We would recommend them and odynovo for a trip in Beijing! The hotel odynovo chose was the regent hotel. It was worth the money. Mario and Angela from Perth WA

Best Great Wall experience We went to Beijing for 3 days and having a guide like Kurt made all the difference. He helped us modify our itinerary based on our energy level and made sure we didn’t miss anything important. Kurt’s knowledge about the history of China was delivered in a storyteller style which made it even more interesting and entertaining. He also took us to the best place to walk the Great Wall with an incredible home cooked style lunch after. Driver, An, was great too. The whole experience was amazing.

Our trip to Thailand was everything! Definitely plan on returning! I am a forever customer of this company and not just for Thailand. The travel consultant Bruce Lu worked tirelessly to assure all my request were honored. I can’t tell you how many times I reached out to him and how patient he was. My local travel agents/drivers were very attentive, informative and over all friendly (Nick in Bangkok, Ying in Chiang Mai, Gay in Phuket). I hope business gets back to normal for them. Anyone traveling this places do request them!

Great Tour team in Beijing - Eva and Wang ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Way to Experience Beijing! We have just spent three incredible days exploring Beijing with our wonderful private guide Eva and driver Wang, through Orinoco Tours, and we honestly couldn’t recommend them more highly. Beijing is an amazing city, but it is also huge, incredibly busy and HOT in August! Having Eva and Wang looking after us meant we could simply relax, enjoy the experience and take everything in rather than worrying about tickets, queues, transport or where we were going next. Together we ticked off some huge bucket-list experiences — Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and, of course, the magnificent Great Wall of China. 🇨🇳 Eva’s knowledge of ancient Chinese history is incredible. Before every visit, she would give us an introduction to what we were about to see, explaining the history with so much passion, detail and enthusiasm. It made such a difference because we weren’t just looking at beautiful buildings and landmarks, we actually understood the stories behind them. And Eva certainly knows how to navigate Beijing! Her ability to fast-track us through incredibly busy attractions, avoid unnecessary queues and find unique little places to experience local food was worth every cent. When thousands of people are visiting the same places in very hot weather, having someone who knows exactly what they are doing is priceless. Hot Pot - Yum Local farmer restaurant near The Great Wall, best food so far!! Then there was our fabulous driver, Wang. Somehow, every time we finished somewhere, Wang would magically appear exactly when we needed him and get the car as close to us as humanly possible. 😂 After hours of walking in the heat, we loved him even more for that! A special request- pain in the belly emergency pit stop looking for a Western Loo, Wang made a route to a lovely hotel and saved the day.. and my belly. What really made these three days special, though, were the personal touches. Eva would surprise us with little gifts and lovely messages, and both Eva and Wang were warm, kind and genuinely lovely people. Their punctuality was absolutely perfect, they were always there and ready for us. If you are visiting a city as big and busy as Beijing and want to spend your time enjoying it rather than feeling stressed, lost or overwhelmed, we strongly recommend booking a private guide and driver and asking Orinoco Tours specifically for Eva and Wang. They didn’t just show us Beijing, they made our Beijing memories better. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars for Eva and Wang two absolutely lovely humans who made our three days in Beijing unforgettable! 🇨🇳❤️

I planned a 12‑day trip to Thailand—Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Krabi—for a group of seven people. At the beginning, I felt overwhelmed and unsure where to start. After searching ‘Tour to Thailand’ on Google, I found Odynovo Tours and contacted them. Ms. Gianna replied promptly the next day with a detailed itinerary. Although I was unable to respond for over a month due to personal circumstances, Ms. Gianna remained incredibly patient and accommodating. She assisted with every change in dates, hotels, and activities, and always provided clear answers to my questions. The trip was extremely well‑organized, including the names and contact information of our guides, which made transitions between cities, tours, and airports smooth and stress‑free. I am very grateful to Ms. Gianna and Odynovo Tours for an exceptional travel experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Thailand. Both Tao and Gade were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and consistently punctual. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful trip, and we truly appreciated their kindness and support. We began our tour in Bangkok with our guide, Tao, who spoke excellent English and was exceptionally knowledgeable. He guided us through the Grand Palace, the sacred Emerald Buddha, and several other renowned temples. The long‑tail boat rides and visits to the vibrant flower markets were wonderful. Tao was very attentive to our food preferences and took us to a traditional Thai and seafood restaurant where the meal was outstanding everyone enjoyed their lunch. In Chiang Mai, we stayed at the Smile Lanna Hotel, a beautifully designed property featuring intricate wood carvings, lush greenery, and vibrant flowers that created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Our guide, Gade, was incredibly accommodating and helpful. She provided insightful information throughout the tours and assisted us in capturing great photos during our Thai cooking class, which was fun, memorable, and delicious. She also brought thoughtful gifts for the children. Our visit to the Elephant Nature Park was pleasant but somewhat disappointing. We were excited to feed the elephants and had prepared watermelons and bananas, but we did not have the opportunity to feed them. Instead, we walked through the park while being directed away from the elephants. Although the walk itself was enjoyable, we did not see elephants in the water or have any direct interaction with them as we had anticipated. Krabi was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed unforgettable beach and pool time with our family. The hotel was lovely, and the staff were exceptional. Throughout the entire trip, all guides and drivers were wonderful and helpful. We highly recommend Odynovo Tours. Their communication was excellent from the initial planning stages through the trip and afterward. We were extremely pleased with their service and truly appreciated the journey they helped create.
