A Wonderful Family Trip to Japan – Exceptional Service from Odynovo! Our family recently returned from a wonderful trip to Japan, organized by Odynovo, and we are delighted to share our experience. From the very beginning, our travel consultant, Reinself Wei, was patient, professional, and exceptionally responsive. He took the time to understand our family's preferences, answered our many questions promptly, and provided thoughtful recommendations with clear explanations. We are very glad we followed his advice, as the itinerary and arrangements worked out beautifully. Throughout our journey, everything was well organized and thoughtfully coordinated. Our tour guides, Yumi in Tokyo and Yoshiko in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. They made our sightseeing experiences both enjoyable and memorable. The drivers were equally professional, courteous, and punctual, ensuring that our travels were comfortable and stress-free. What we appreciated most was the personal attention and care that went into making this a truly enjoyable family holiday. We were able to experience the beauty, culture, and hospitality of Japan while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a well-planned private tour. Our sincere thanks to Reinself and the entire Odynovo team for making our Japan vacation such a memorable experience. We would be very happy to travel with Odynovo again and would gladly recommend their services to family and friends. Thank you, Odynovo, for a wonderful Japan experience!

Beyond the Itinerary: What Sets Odynovo Apart We chose Odynovo after finding the company ourselves online, so naturally we were curious whether the reality would live up to our expectations. It did — and, in several respects, exceeded them. From the very beginning, our trip was handled by Bruce Lu. Bruce is young, but exceptionally professional: fast, thorough and, most importantly, a very good listener. He understood what we were looking for and tailored the trip accordingly. For example, Susan Xie was selected as our guide because of our interest in both culture and more active exploration. The most important thing, however, happened when I had an accident at one of the hotels and needed to go to hospital. It was obviously a frightening moment, but Odynovo's support made an enormous difference. Our guide, Mr. Lijia, accompanied us through every step of the hospital process and stayed in close contact with Bruce throughout. We never felt that we had to deal with the situation on our own. That level of personal support gave us a great deal of confidence and says a lot about the people behind Odynovo. We would also like to mention the hotel, which handled the situation exceptionally well. They covered the medical costs, accommodation, meals and activities for the remainder of our stay, but even more impressive was the genuinely caring and attentive attitude of the staff. Finally, the quality of Odynovo's guides is outstanding. In Beijing; Susan Xie took us beyond the standard tourist experience in the Forbidden City, showing us the less-visited side buildings and exhibitions taking place at the time. In the Hutongs and at the Great Wall, she combined her excellent knowledge with her enthusiasm for hiking, allowing us to explore places beyond the usual routes. Our driver, Mr. Wang Defa, was equally impressive. Quiet and modest, he went out of his way to adapt our route and show us parts of the countryside that we would never have discovered ourselves, including small villages and places where local people go camping. His knowledge of the area added another dimension to the journey. For us, this is what made Odynovo stand out: not simply arranging a good itinerary, but having people who listen, take responsibility and genuinely care about the experience of their clients. We would gladly recommend Odynovo to others travelling in China.

Our great tour guide, Catherine. Our tour guide, Catherine Shen, did an excellent job. She was very helpful with everything and went above and beyond making sure our time in Beijing was fun. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Bejing thank you Tracy We booked our trip with Odynovo and had three wonderful days in Beijing, but what made those three days so special to us was meeting Tracy. We arrived at the airport a little before midnight after a very long journey, and there was Tracy waiting for us with the biggest smile, waving to us and making us feel instantly welcome. After arriving in a country we had never visited before, so late at night, seeing that beautiful smile and having someone there who was genuinely happy to see us made us feel so comfortable. It was such a lovely welcome. Tracy took us to our hotel and went through our itinerary for the following day. Once we arrived, she made sure we were settled into our room and comfortable before saying goodnight and telling us she would see us in the morning. It was such a small thing, but it meant a lot to us. From that very first night, we could see that Tracy genuinely cared about us and wanted to make sure we were okay. The next morning, after a lovely sleep and breakfast, we started our first day with Tracy. We visited Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tracy's knowledge was incredible, but what we loved most was the way she shared it with us. She didn't just tell us facts — she helped us understand what we were seeing and made the history come alive. At lunchtime, Tracy once again showed us how thoughtful she was. She asked what we would like to eat and really listened to us. She then took us to a fantastic restaurant where we had an amazing lunch. It was delicious, and we loved that Tracy wanted us to experience food that we would genuinely enjoy. That afternoon we explored the Hutong neighborhoods. Tracy took so much time showing us around and explaining the local way of life. She didn't rush us. She wanted us to stop, look, ask questions and really take in what we were seeing. It gave us such a beautiful insight into everyday life in Beijing. The following day was our full day at the Great Wall. Tracy gave us plenty of time to walk, explore and simply enjoy being there. We never felt rushed or that we were being pushed from one place to another. She understood that this was a special experience for us and allowed us to enjoy the whole day at our own pace. That evening, we asked Tracy if she could help us find somewhere to try Peking duck. She happily arranged it for us, and what an experience it was! The Peking duck was absolutely amazing — it practically melted in our mouths. It was one of those meals we will talk about for years, and we were so grateful that Tracy took the time to arrange it for us. Our last day in Beijing took us to the Summer Palace, which was absolutely beautiful. Once again, Tracy's knowledge was exceptional. She explained everything so clearly and made sure we had time to appreciate the beauty of the place rather than simply walking through it. Then came the part we really didn't want — saying goodbye to Tracy. When our time in Beijing was finished, Tracy took us all the way to the train station. She didn't just drop us off and leave. She stayed with us, helped us through the station and even lined up with us to make sure we got onto the train quickly and comfortably. That really touched us. By then, Tracy felt like so much more than our tour guide. She felt like someone who genuinely cared about us. Looking back, it wasn't just the incredible places we saw in Beijing that we will remember. We will remember Tracy's beautiful smile, her kindness, her patience, her laughter and the way she always looked after us. She made us feel safe, comfortable and welcome in a country that was completely new to us. She was always watching out for us, always making sure we were enjoying ourselves and always willing to go that extra mile. We honestly felt as though we were traveling with a friend rather than a tour guide. By the end of our three days, we were sad to say goodbye. Tracy, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our first experience of China so incredibly special. We will remember our time in Beijing with such happy memories, and you will always be a very special part of those memories. You are a truly beautiful person and an exceptional guide, and we feel very lucky that you were the person who welcomed us to Beijing.

Super day in Beijing I enjoyed a great day in Beijing thanks to my guide Catherine Shen. She is very friendly and knows more than expected about sites and imperial history. I specially enjoyed the many tidbits about the princesses and the "eunuchs'. She also has an amazing memory for numbers, dates and imperial chronology. I gladly recommend her to all curious visitors.

Our China tour. We loved touring around Shanghai. The food throughout our trip was delicious. Angie was a lovely guide. Her English was excellent. Although we encountered various issues, she worked hard to resolve them.

Relaxed discoveries It's been only 3 days into my trip and so far so good! I was able to do all the planned activities in Hanoi, and I appreciated and enjoyed all of them! And my guide, Trihn, contributed greatly in my experience being positive! She is very punctual and professional, and appropriately flexible. And she is knowledgeable in Vietnam history, so I learned a lot! I'd recommend Odynovo for sure!

Hiking in Guilin We had a wonderful 4 days in Guilin. Definitely worth the visit and more. We hiked breathtaking mountains, walked the serene rivers , saw sunsets and sunrises, and took a gentle bamboo raft down the river. We enjoyed essential cultural heritage learning by making traditional Chinese fans with one of only two families who still do this. Our tour guide Ellen (Xujing) was very passionate and knowledgeable about the regions history and features. Navigating with a guide was very helpful and made things very seamless for us.

Unforgettable experience! Stunning landscape, beautiful experiences and amazing culture. Our guide Ellen was wonderful! Highly recommend everything about Guilin/Yangshuo.

fun inH' Hutong I had a great time visiting the old Beijing neighborhood with Angela. She is fun and knows her townn very well.

A Wonderful Vietnam Experience We would like to express our sincere thanks to Odynovo and their team for organising such a wonderful trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our journey, and the experience created many wonderful memories that we will cherish. A very special mention must go to our outstanding tour guide, Mr. Nguyen Duong Nghia (Nghia). Nghia was much more than an excellent tour guide. Throughout our journey, he became a true ambassador for Vietnam's culture, history, people and environment. His extensive knowledge, professionalism, patience, kindness and genuine passion for his country made our experience truly exceptional. What impressed us most was the way Nghia introduced us to Vietnam. He did not simply take us to beautiful places; he helped us understand the history, traditions, culture, natural environment and everyday life of Vietnamese people. His enthusiasm and pride in his country were infectious and greatly enriched our journey. He was always attentive to our needs, thoughtful and friendly, and consistently willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. His warmth and personality made us feel that we were travelling with a friend rather than simply being accompanied by a professional guide. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our excellent driver, Mr. Le. He was professional, reliable, caring and extremely attentive throughout the trip. His safe and careful driving made us feel comfortable and secure on every journey. He was always punctual, patient and ready to help with our luggage or anything else we needed. Both Nghia and Mr. Le went above and beyond to make our journey smooth, enjoyable and memorable. They are outstanding representatives of Odynovo and played a very important role in making our visit to Vietnam such a wonderful experience. Thank you again to Odynovo, Mr. Nghia and Mr. Le for an unforgettable journey. We will remember not only the beautiful places we visited, but also the knowledge, kindness and friendship that made the trip so special. We would be very happy to recommend Odynovo to our friends and colleagues.
