Zhangjiajie This was our first trip to China. Lindsay Zhou was our guide in Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang of Hunan for several days. She was knowledgeable, caring and timely the whole time. She also helped us with many photos. Thank you, Lindsay.

Family Visit to Xian We spent two days in Xian with Ms. Cathy from Odynovo tours and she was amazing. She accommodated all of our requests, added things in at the last minute, was very knowledgeable and extremely kind. Highly recommend.

Beijing Family Tour We had a great time in Beijing. Our guide, Alice Zuo. was very knowledgeable and accommodating for our family and our special requests. Highly recommend as a great way to see the city.

The tour guide for Beijing, China Alice Wang was by far the best tour guide we could ever have had.She is extremely knowledgeable, loving, caring for all the tourist needs and concerns. She was very flexible to adjust to our needs and requests.We had an amazing time getting to know and experience the Chinese culture, traditions and food. She was such a great companion that we always wanted more.We definitely recommend Alice Wang as a tour guide in Beijing. We learned with her and want to suggest to all thrusts in Beijing to remember bringing all the timeYour passports and an umbrella during the hot summers. As arrive in China, the immigration will ask for your proof or leaving the country. Please have flight back ticked ready.Please, if you want to visit the Pandas at the zoo, around 10:00 am is their desert time and they will be moving around. It’s a great time to enjoy them.Another suggestion in Beijing is to try the delicious traditional Beijing duck. Our tour guide Alice Wang took us a a very local restaurant and we enjoyed eating the roasted duck with her.Thank you so much Alice!

Awesome stay in Beijing! We were in Beijing for four nights and hit all the famous places. Our guide, Kurt, was awesome! He handled everything and made our trip super easy and fun. He gave us all sorts of tips on where to eat, what to do, and how the locals live. On our last day, he even got us to the train station and sorted out our departure. I'd totally recommend using Odinovo for your China trip, and Kurt's the man to go with in Beijing. Thanks, Kurt, for everything and for making us feel so welcome!

Thoroughly captivating seeing the Terracotta Warriors Xi’an was amazing! Thank you Cathy Hou for planning and guiding us through this spectacular and safe trip! The terracotta warriors were more exciting than I could imagine. Loved it. Tour guides gave us a great sense of security and knowledge

China-Xi’an with the family Our tour guide Nancy was super amazing!!! She was relatable, fun and super knowledgeable about China’s history and culture. The children definitely were engaged in her stories. She went over and above what we needed for the trip. Overall she made Xi’an more memorable. Thank you Nancy for everything.

Best tour guide company ever! Just got back from Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai and it was the best trip ever. Cathy Hou was the most informed, responsible, kind and patient tour manager ever. She helped me plan this trip from beginning to the end. She was very quick to respond and answered all my questions thoroughly and honestly. The tour guides and drivers put my whole family at ease with their confidence, professionalism and knowledge from beginning to end. They not only took us everywhere but literally walked us through every step of the tour from checking into hotel, walking us through security during high speed trains rides, and of course very intelligent on all tours and sights. They answered all our questions expertly and made us all feel like family. Special shout out to Vivian in Beijing. All our lunches that they took us to were excellent. The tour guides made sure everything was smooth and flawless.Thank you so much Odynovo!Tracy E.

China trip with the family We had Lili for our guide and she was terrific. She was knowledgeable and very helpful. We couldn’t have done Beijing without her. She also recommended an acrobatic show that was so thrilling and entertaining. It was one of our cherished experiences from our China trip.

A Fantastic Trip to China. My wife and I just finished a 2 week tour in China, arranged and provided by Odynovo. We do a lot of travelling, sometimes on our own, sometimes in group tours, sometimes on private tours like this one. This was one of the best organized and run tours that we have ever been on! We have been to China before so we were looking for different places and activities. Shelly in the office worked with me to come up with a great itinerary. There was a lot of back and forth in a short period of time and it almost seemed that she was working 7 days a week, 24hours a day.Our drivers were all excellent. Road rules are maybe a little different in China than in Canada (wink). In the city there was non-stop merging. In the country there were narrow roads with curves and blind corners. Every driver seemed to know the exact dimension of the van to the millimeter. The driver we had in Guizhou Province had many meets with oncoming cars on single lane roads in small villages. Some how no scratches were incurred.Our guides were all outstanding. The longest time we had with a guide was in Guizhou with Dolores. She went above and beyond with the information and insight into the varied cultures of the area and China in general. Most of this time was spent in small villages and the countryside including two nights in a wonderful Homestay (best food of the trip). In my opinion anyone visiting China should spend time in places like this and Odynovo can get you there.Every time we moved from one place to the next either by car or train the guides got us there on time and met us on time. When you get off the cruise ship bus in Yichang, and you have one hour to find your luggage and get to the train station, the sight of a smiling lady named Nancy holding an Odynovo sign with "Helen and Ian" on it is a happy moment!And that three night Yangtze River Cruise was well worth doing.And if all this is not enough, our private tour in China cost less than a group tour in Europe.Thanks Odynovo, see you again soon.

China vacation Odynovo and Kristy Ho coordinated our trip to China. She and the whole company including our tour guides Alice, Kevin, Bonnie, and Keeley wer great. They took care of every detail. Every one was responsive, professional, and informative. Everyone made sure we were safe, having fun, and flexible. Kristy was responsive if we needed anything. I highly recommend her and this company. It made for a great stress free informative trip!

An amazing and very impressive holiday in China. We recently returned from a very well planned and executed 15 day tour of China, booked through Odynovo. This is our third trip arranged by Odynovo and once again everything was well taken care of. Terry our Odynovo agent was instrumental and patient in helping us plan our trip, sharing insights that first time visitors to China needed to be aware of. Throughout the planning stage many emails were exchanged resulting in a number of changes. Compliments to Terry, he rapidly and politely co-ordinated an amazing and informative tour that suited our timeline, interests and budget. Mention also needs to be made regarding the excellent communication from the planning through to the execution of the tour, even when our WeChat stopped working.Throughout our holiday we were accompanied by excellent guides and drivers. The guides communicated well in English and were friendly, considerate and happy to informatively share their knowledge about China’s history, the local food dishes, their region and the specific points of interest. We were pleasantly impressed by China’s food, cleanliness, safety and order.We enjoyed a range of diverse tastes of fresh foods as we travelled across China (Peking duck in Beijing, Biang biang noodles and dumplings in Xian, Bamboo BBQ chicken and rice in Longsheng).At all times we felt safe and comfortable with our personal well-being regardless of whether it was day or night and the density of people.We started our tour in Beijing where we were accompanied by our guide,Tracy . She took great care of us not only in Beijing but later on in our trip, when our WeChat stopped working, she helped to keep us in contact with the Odynovo office and our next stage of the tour. Tracy showed us the sites and willingly shared her knowledge, took us to local restaurants and ordered for us, ensuring we enjoyed the best local dishes. Finally she ensured we successfully and easily caught our first bullet train in China, allaying any concerns and apprehension we were feeling.Tracy went above and beyond to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible.Our guide in Xi’an was Leo. He was a wealth of knowledge that he willingly shared. He is very proud of his city and it shows when he shares his knowledge and the history of China and the region. We spent the day at the Terracotta Warriors which was both fascinating and insightful. Leo never tired of our endless questions and even though it was very hot , he didn’t rush us through and was happy to take us into all the pits that were open (not just the three main pits). He chose a local restaurants where we enjoyed local biang biang noodles and dumplings. On the day we left Xian, Leo had taken care of our online check-in for our flight, walked us through the bag drop and boarding pass collection and made sure we were safely through security before leaving the airport.Our next stop was Guilin where we met our guide Tom. He was very helpful and shared his knowledge, willingly recommending evening walks in order for us to see the local sights and lights of the city. We enjoyed a hike through the rice fields in Longsheng, a cruise up the Li river and a bicycle ride through the countryside in Yangzhou.Sadly due to low water levels in the Yangtze river, we were bussed from Chongqing to Fengdu Ghost City, a two hour drive downstream to get to our cruise ship. The three day cruise was both relaxing and enjoyable, despite the limited amount of English spoken on board and on the Goddess stream shore excursion.After disembarking from our river cruise, our final bullet train took us to Shanghai. Unfortunatey, we were rained out on our first day . Our guide Frank happily changed our program and moved the Shanghai Tower visit to the following day which was a beautiful sunny day so that we could appreciate the wonderful views .We also spent time exploring the beautiful gardens of Suzhou and Shanghai, enjoying the night lights of the city from the Bund.Our tour of China exceeded our expectations and we will definitely use Odynovo again for future holidays. We highly recommend Odynovo.

China Beijing was amazing! The forbidden city, and the Great wall was just out of this world experience. Our tour guide Dina was excellent, she was pleasant and very helpful. We were very lucky to get her. Thanks for all the nice adventures China.

Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China Our friends and family greatly enjoyed our trip with Odynovo Tours! We requested a tour from Odynovo VERY last minute and our coordinator, Gianna, was quick and adaptable to get everything in order for us. Our guide, Ms. Cindy was from Zhangjiajie, the area we visited, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Ms. Cindy and our driver picked us up in a luxury van from our evening train with a welcome bag and brought us to our hotel. We spent the next day touring the areas of Zhangjiajie that we requested, and a delicious lunch and dinner picked out by Ms. Cindy. The next morning we were brought promptly to the train station to continue on our journey with a thoughtful snack package. Our family/friend group were half Mandarin/English speakers and Ms. Cindy did a great job of accommodating our language needs.
