30 Aussies in China ❤️🇦🇺🇨🇳 We are travelling with a group of 30 people (8 families) from Sydney Australia on a 14 day tour of 5 cities (Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, Zhangjajie, Shanghai). Odynovo helped us organise all hotels, trains, internal flights and tour guides in each city. Our tour guide in Beijing was Alice and Jo Zhou in Xian. Both tour guides were very professional. We were particulatly impressed with Jo’s knowledge of Xian and Imperial China. She had us all captivated and wanting more information about China’s rich history. We would thoroughly recommend Odynovo for both these cities. Very professional and knowledgable.

An Unforgettable Xi’an Experience with an Amazing Guide We had an amazing experience during our trip to Xi’an. Everything was very well organized, and the entire journey was smooth and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Betty, was truly outstanding. Her English was excellent, and she explained the historical sites in a very clear, engaging, and informative way. Thanks to her, we were able to understand the rich history and culture of Xi’an much better. She was also very friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, which made the experience even more special. Betty also took us to incredibly delicious local restaurants that we would never have found on our own. These dining experiences were some of the highlights of our trip. Since we were traveling with children, she was especially thoughtful and supportive—always coming up with great ideas and adjusting the program according to our needs and preferences. She made everything very easy and comfortable for our family. The driver was very professional and careful, and we always felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. Overall, we are extremely satisfied and would highly recommend this team to anyone visiting China. Thank you, Betty, for making our trip so memorable!

Seamless Beijing Trip with Ofynovo – Highly Recommend! Our Beijing trip was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that experience was thanks to Ofynovo and their incredible team. From the very beginning, Allison Chiang made the planning process seamless. Her email communications were always thorough, prompt, and thoughtful, which gave us great confidence leading up to the trip. Once we arrived, our tour guide Dina exceeded all expectations. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. Her English is excellent, which made communication effortless and is especially important for travelers who do not speak Mandarin. From recommending great local restaurants to sharing rich historical insights at every attraction, she made each day meaningful and enjoyable. What really stood out was how she took care of us every step of the way—even personally walking us to the train and seeing us off as we departed for our next city. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. We also want to recognize our driver, Mr. Bai, who ensured all our transportation needs were handled smoothly and safely. Navigating Beijing traffic is no small task, and we always felt comfortable and well taken care of. Overall, this was a well-organized, stress-free, and enriching experience. We would highly recommend Ofynovo to anyone planning a trip to Beijing!

While searching on Google for a tour agency in China, we found this option, and what a success! Jake Zhong was our advisor, and the communication and information were clear and perfect. He was always attentive to our requests. The two cities, Beijing and Xi'an, were very well organized. Everything was perfectly coordinated. Tracy, our guide in Beijing, was excellent. Jenny in Xi'an was outstanding—patient, very knowledgeable, and always with us. Excellent!

Lovely 10day China trip We had an excellent 10 day private tour with Odynovo in March 2026. Our guides were all really helpful and knowledgeable . At Beijing train station, I had an accident and my guide, Helen and Datong guide, Rita, sorted out my medical needs. Thank you. We so enjoyed the biang biang noodle, which Kevin took us in Xi'an. Finally,,,my lovely Emma in Chengdu. She was so wonderful, took us to see pandas and historical places.. She also went out of her way, taking us extra sight seeing which wasn't part of our tour. Wished we had stayed longer in Chengdu - so much more to see there.

Incredible tour guide in Xi’an We just finished our first-ever experience using a tour guide service, and Odynovo made our trip to China absolutely seamless. If you don't speak the language but want to truly enjoy your time without the stress of logistics, I highly recommend them. Jessica is a wealth of knowledge. She took us to see the Terracotta Warriors and explained the details so well that my son learned how to distinguish between a general, an officer, and soldiers. We learned so much about the First Emperor Qin and the Silk Road. Based on her recommendation, we saw a Silk Road show that was visually beautiful and very touching—a major highlight!

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.

Loved the terracotta warriors I just shared an unbelievable trip to China with my 10 year old grandson - all organized by Odynovo. In Xi’an our guide, Betty, not only took us to see the terracotta warriors, but also up on the old city wall and to a local food market full of impressive vegetables, varieties of eggs from quail to duck to chicken, plus all sorts of fresh meat. A highlight of our stay was a visit to a local home to make dumplings and noodles and enjoy a delicious lunch. Betty was really good at making everything fascinating not only for me but for a 10 year old boy as well. Did I mention our hotel had peacocks roaming free? Five star experience all around! Especially our guide, Betty, and driver - I am getting spoiled having a personal tour guide and private car!

Guilin and Yangzhou worth a visit! I went to China with my 10 year old grandson using Odynovo. All the guides were amazing but Ellen in Guilin and Yangzhou really stood out. The reed flute cave, the Li River cruise, bicycles and bamboo draft in Yangzhou all were great. Ellen made everything fascinating for a 10 year old boy and me! Loved the Banyan tree hotel in Yangzhou with all their ducks, geese, coy and peacocks! Private touring with guides like Ellen really has us spoiled!

Odynovo guided tour of Beijing This was my first sight seeing vacation with a guide and driver and I may never want to travel without them again. Our guide, Tina Yang, was fantastic. She knew everything about Being from history, botany, technology and geography. My wife and I were constantly amazed by her weath of knowledge.

Fun in Xian We had a wonderful time visiting Xian with Kevin! He was super knowledgeable about all the places we visited and was super open about teaching us about his experiences in China. The terracotta soldiers site was super crowded and busy due to our visit day overlapping with a Chinese national holiday but Kevin did a great job leading us through the crowd. We also had a wonderful time visiting Huashen mountain and enjoying the scenery. Kevin is also a great master at calligraphy and we were super impressed by his skills as well as very appreciative of him taking us to his calligraphy school and showing us where he learned his skills. Much thanks to Kevin for showing us things about the Chinese culture on top of leading us through the cultural sites.

​I would like to thank Odynovo once again for the amazing experience I just had in China. A special thanks goes to Cecile in Zhangjiajie; she was truly out of this world. ​I have traveled many times with various guides, but Cecile is more than just a guide—she is a friend. I felt that connection from the very beginning. I will definitely return, but only if Cecile is my guide; otherwise, I’m not coming back! 😄 ​Thanks once again, Cecile. You gave me a truly blissful moment that I will never forget.

Odynovo was the best in Beijing! My wife and I just returned from a three week vacation in China and used Odynovo for a private tour of Beijing for the last part of our trip. This was our first, but certainly not the last, time using Odynovo. From our first inquiry to the company, we were assigned a travel consultant Allen, who guided us through the whole process. Allen was very helpful, accommodating and responsive via email and Whatsapp. Thanks Allen for your care and professionalism! Once we landed in Beijing, we met our personal tour guide Dina and driver, Mr. Wang. Wow, we felt like we hit the jackpot with Dina. She spoke very good English, had been a guide in Beijing for more 20 years, and was the nicest person. Dina took care of every detail; from checking us into our hotel room to taking us to all of Beijing's highlights. Due to her vast experience, she had a wealth of knowledge of each site and knew all the best places to stop and best camera angles. She even went beyond our itinerary to book us an acrobatic performance that was superb. You could tell she loved her job and loved being around people. Our driver Mr. Wang was very courteous and an excellent driver. He made sure we had a bottle of water whenever we jumped into his immaculate vehicle. We felt secure and pampered the entire time. Thank you Dina and Mr. Wang for an experience we will never forget! If you are thinking of traveling to Beijing, we recommend using Odynovo and highly recommend asking for their best guide Dina and driver Mr. Wang!!

Excellent service consistently We booked 21 day customized tour. Great care at each place by tour guides. Consistently informative and friendly, treated us like personal guests. If going to Guilin (definitely should) try to get Lu (Sophie) for guide. She is warm and also very knowledgeable- goes the extra step throughout.
