Trip of a Lifetime with Odynovo Travel to China and Vietnam !
A flawlessly organized, first-class journey by Odynovo Travel and Gianna Liao. A true trip of a lifetime! We were a group of 10 retirees from the United States and recently completed a perfectly organized 16-day journey with 10 days in China and 6 days in Vietnam. Every detail was handled seamlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience. Our trip designer, Ms. Gianna Liao of Odynovo Travel, was exceptional. Over several months, she worked with us patiently and thoughtfully, accommodating every request and revision with professionalism, flexibility, and a calm, reassuring approach. She truly understood our needs and crafted an itinerary that exceeded all expectations. In every city, we were welcomed by outstanding guides and professional drivers who made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. We are especially grateful to Ms. Alice Zuo (Beijing), Ms. Amber Yan (Xi’an), Ms. Yudi Li (Chongqing), Ms. Bonnie Yu (Shanghai), Mr. Nguyen Cong Quyen (Hanoi), Mr. Trương Hoài Nam (Ben) (Ho Chi Minh City), and Mr. Wally and Arthur Liao (Beijing return). Each went above and beyond helping recover forgotten items and ensuring they reached us at our next destination, assisting with after-hours medical care, and guiding us through airport check-in and departures. Their professionalism and attention to detail made a lasting impression on all of us. The itinerary was superb. Here are some highlights for China and Vietnam. We visited the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and Mutianyu section of the Great Wall in Beijing; the Terracotta Warriors and Tang Le Gong, where traditional dumpling banquets meet dazzling and colorful song-and-dance performances, in Xi’an; Eling Park, Liziba Light Rail, the Great Hall of the People, and the Three Gorges Dam Museum in Chongqing; and Shanghai’s financial district skyline views, Jade Buddha Temple, and former French Concession. Travel between cities was efficient and comfortable, with high-speed trains and a domestic flight. In Vietnam, we explored Hanoi, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and a delightful rickshaw ride through the old city center, followed by a memorable overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay aboard the Paradise Elegance. In Ho Chi Minh City, we visited the War Museum, Reunification Palace, Cu Chi Tunnels, and the Mekong Delta, where we even helped prepare a meal at a local home by the river. Another rickshaw ride through the old city added a charming and authentic touch. Accommodations were excellent throughout, including well-known five-star hotels such as Regent, Wyndham Grand, Westin, and Max, along with the Peridot Boutique Hotel in Hanoi and the Nikko International Saigon. Meals were outstanding, often in high-end restaurants where we were treated like VIP guests while enjoying authentic local specialties. We highly recommend Ms. Gianna Liao and Odynovo Travel. We also highly recommend all the exceptional guides and dedicated drivers who accompanied us along the way. Together, they created a seamless, enriching, and truly unforgettable experience.
