Amazing 5 Day Tour in Beijing from Shangai A big Thank You to Allen who co-ordinated our private tour for my wife & myself in Beijing from Shangai. Even though we had to change our dates due to the recent typhoon in Shangai, Allen still organised our changes without any hesitation & with so much efficiency. Right from the moment of picking us up at our hotel & taking us to the bullet train station in Shangai, Odynovo was so well organised and efficient. Eva our guide in Beijing was extremely friendly, helpful, efficient & knowledgeable. Our 5 day tour with Eva and Driver Wang went smoothly due to their efficiency and punctuality. Eva's knowledge of all the sites was amazing! Eva shared her culture & heritage with us, which she was very proud & passionate about. She knew the best times to visit all the sites, avoiding unnecessary queueing during the peak times. With her insistence on waking up really early to see the Great Wall we were the first shuttle bus to leave for the site & had the pleasure of enjoying the Wall without the thousands of visitors who were thronging to get in when we were on our way down. That was due to Eva's experience & I can't thank her enough for her gentle insistence on us going early! The experience was amazing! Eva also introduced us to the local culinary dishes which were delicious. Thank you so much Eva, Wang, Allen & Odynovo for making our trip so enjoyable! We will definitely do more holidays with you and highly recommend your company to our family & friends.

Exciting adventures in Guilin and Yangshuo! We had an excellent time in Guilin and Yangshuo. We stayed for 2 1/2 days and we had a chance to experience a variety of different activities as well as to enjoy the magnificent landscape. Our Tour guide Teresa Deng was excellent and our driver was wonderful too. Teresa tended to our every need she helped grandpa get a haircut and we were able to have the kids get dressed up and take photos with the traditional Chinese costumes by the riverbank in Yangshuo. Teresa picked us up and stayed with us until the very end at the train station platform. She also got is snacks (ice cream, local fruits) and beverages- that was a delight! Our favorite times were spent on the ATVs over water and rocks, as well as on the raft down the FuLi river. The 3.5 cruise to enjoy the Guilin mountain scenery was amazingly beautiful and the cave in Guilin that was breathtaking as well. We would highly recommend this trip with Odynovo as well as with Teresa as one of our best tour guides!

2 days in Xi'an We only had 2 days in Xi'an, but thanks to Alex at Odynovo & our tour guide, Ms. Jo, we were able to see a lot. Well organized and on-time, our transfers, hotel, tours, biking, and show, all went smoothly. Ms. Jo spoke fluent English and provided us with a lot of historical information. Tip: go see the show "Song of Everlasting Sorrow. "

Trip of a lifetime!! I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience touring China. This trip truly exceeded every expectation, and that’s entirely thanks to the incredible team of guides, drivers, and local managers who took such great care of us throughout our journey. In Shanghai, Mr. Frank Ji was wonderful from the moment we arrived. He was professional, knowledgeable, welcoming, and made navigating such a vibrant city feel effortless. He gave us wonderful insight into both Shanghai’s history and its modern culture, and we always felt completely taken care of. Our time in Zhangjiajie with Ms. Michelle Ye was absolutely unforgettable. Zhangjiajie was one of the most breathtaking places we’ve ever visited, and Michelle made the experience even more special with her warmth, organization, and knowledge of the area. She helped us truly appreciate the beauty and history of everything we saw. In Chongqing, Mr. Luther Zou brought such great energy and expertise. Chongqing is such a unique and massive city, and he made exploring it exciting, comfortable, and easy. His recommendations and attention to detail helped us experience the city in a much more meaningful way. Finally, in Beijing, Ms. Tracy Liu was exceptional. Visiting incredible historical sites like the Forbidden City and the Great Wall was a highlight of our entire trip, and having Tracy there to explain the history and significance behind what we were seeing made those experiences even more memorable. She truly brought the history to life. I also want to give a huge thank-you to all of the drivers in each city. They deserve so much recognition for everything they did behind the scenes. They were always there when we needed them, helped us travel safely and comfortably between destinations, and made getting around unfamiliar cities completely stress-free. Even during long days of touring, we always felt safe and well taken care of. Their professionalism, patience, and kindness did not go unnoticed. And of course, a special thank-you to the local managers in Shanghai, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, and Beijing for coordinating everything behind the scenes. Having such a dependable team supporting us throughout the entire trip gave us tremendous peace of mind. Overall, this was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Every guide, driver, and manager we encountered was kind, professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our trip special. The level of care we received in every city was incredible. Thank you to the entire team for making our journey through China so unforgettable. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives, and we would recommend this team without hesitation to anyone visiting China.

Multi-city tour of China Our group of 4 adults + 3 teens just spent 14 days on a multi-city China trip arranged by Alex X. Although our schedule was packed tight, everything was well organized, from domestic trains & flights, hotel transfers, guided tours & activities, restaurant recommendations, shows, etc. The nature sites we saw were jaw-dropping (Guilin & Zhangjiajie), the cities were clean, technology in Shanghai is ultra-modern, the food delicious, the people all friendly. We loved all our guides: Rose (Shanghai), Sharon (Guilin), Lucas (Zhangjiajie), Ms. Jo (Xi'an), and Tracy (Beijing). All the guides spoke fluent English, provided historical information, took excellent care of us, incl. giving us ponchos on rainy days, fans and ice cream on hot days, daily cold water bottles, guiding us to shortcuts, taking photos for us, and so much more. We were not expecting so many little extras from the guides & Odynovo. We loved everything about our trip (except the squat toilets and massive crowds at some of the sites!). China is huge and we will go again to see more of this beautiful country. Shout-out to Lucas (Zhangjiajie): we love the photos that you took and the farewell song you sang for us too!

Best tour guide and wonderful experience in Xi’an! We had an excellent trip in Xi’An although we only had two days there. We wish we had more time there because the city was amazing with so much history and cultures. Our tour Lisa Yue guide was fantastic. She’s likely the best tour guide we’ve ever had. Lisa reviewed the itinerary at the beginning of every day and printed out paper copies to show us the cultural and geographical information to explain the trip details - this made it much easier to see and understand. Lisa was super caring and she would take care of our little ones. My father-in-law had broken his reading glasses, and Lisa found an extra pair for him. That was very thoughtful of her. She truly went above and beyond to help us with our every need. Despite the long queues, Lisa stayed with us the entire time and would try her best to navigate the queues to get us past the crowds as best as she could. Lisa spoke very fluent English and has a wealth of knowledge to share. And she has so much experience being a tour leader in the past that she made the trip seamless and truly enjoyable. She was meticulous in her care and tried to accommodate our whole party. She made recommendations to the itinerary depending on the weather, how tired we were, and added time when we needed it. I would highly recommend Lisa with any tour in China.

A few days in Beijing Sisi and Queena were the best guides. We spent a few days in Beijing and treated us like an Emperor and Empress. We did all of the highlights and recommended restaurants and additional spots to check out. Highly recommend!

Amazing China Adventure Our trip to China was coordinated by Leila who did an excellent job making an itinerary for our 4 children age ranges 5-14. In Shanghai, Stephen was excellent and explained things in a way our kids could understand while showing us all that Shanghai had to offer. In Zhangjiajie, Sienna was phenomenal! Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and care for our whole family made her town one of our most memorable and favorite to visit. She showed us the mountains and Heaven’s Gate and knew how to navigate the city. We really loved her! Jessica in Xi’an introduced us to some amazing local Chinese food including biang biang noodles and fried dough that was vegetarian and delicious! Candy in Beijing was wonderful and helped our kids navigate the Forbidden City and Great Wall by providing cool strips and insect stickers to help them be prepared for the journey. She was thoughtful and very knowledgeable about the history of Beijing. All of our drivers were on time and professional and we highly recommend Odynovo for everyone.

Amazing journey through Guilin Guilin and Yangshuo were maybe the highlights of our trip to China. Our tour guide, Irene, was excellent and helped guide us around, explained the local culture and was very friendly with the whole family. She was helpful and hands on whenever needed and also gave us space and guidance to explore on our own. We went on a bike ride, visited the market and did a cooking class, learning techniques which we are still working to master. Overall an incredible experience.

Reliable company Odynovo has organized our trip to Xinjiang in China. We visited different places of interest from the north to the south of the region: Urumqi, Sayram lake, Kuqa, Aksu, Nalati, Kashgar and the Baisha and Karakul lakes. We contracted private transport and a preference for hiking whenever possible, even though this is not very common in China. Our guide Ali, a Urumqi native, proved to be very professional and experienced and also spoke good English as well as the regional languages, which proved to be useful when treating with the locals. Our driver was also very reliable, as was our vehicle. We can recommend this company not only for their professionalism but also for answering quickly when there were any questions.

Amazing tour through Xi’an Our entire experience in China with Odynovo was excellent, but our time in Xi’an with Jessica was above and beyond. She was a passionate and knowledgeable guide to the local culture and history, helping us navigate our way through crowded sites, and was especially kind and friendly and went out of her way to make sure we felt welcome. 10/10 would definitely recommend this experience
