Highly recommended We greatly appreciate all the work you have done, our agent, Rookie, as well as, the agency, Odynovo. The experience was fantastic. All our requests were met. All our expectations, met. Moreover, when there was any unexpected, they solved it satisfactorily.When I return to China (which I will return, as the country is impressive), I will contract with them again. Highly recommended. No doubt.

The trip of a lifetime Thank you Odynovo and Christal Yao for arranging our China tour. From beginning to end our trip was fantastic.Starting with the itinerary, day by day transportation, guides( the best ), tour tickets, included meals and options to do more activities if wanted. It was all Organized for us without worries on our part. Very flexible but reliably catered to our needs and wants.Previous to our trip we were provided with a list of contacts and names of guides for each city to be visited. Thanks for your extraordinary professional service.We strongly recommend them.Gil family from Texas

great brief tour of Shanghai Was able to arrange an excellent brief tour of Shanghai on relatively short notice. I really enjoyed seeing the Shanghai museum and the Jade Buddha temple. Logistics were handled perfectly.

Great experience! As a solo female traveler I can highly recommend the China tour organised by Odynovo. I visited Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai and enjoyed my first taste of China.My first stop was Beijing. I visited the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City and beyond. My tour guide Cathy was great. She has so much knowledge about the city and the sights. Also, she was always punctual and happy to assist me with anything (from helping me buy a powerbank, to making reservations at restaurants). After taking the bullet train to Xi’an (very smooth, no delays), I met up with my guide Lee (mr. Fish). What I really appreciated was his ability to adept to my travelling pace (which can be fast), so we were able to visit more places than was included in the initial itinerary. Not only did I see the terracotta warriors but also the bronze chariots, the pagoda in Xi’an and much more. Taking a second bullet train to Chengdu, I was picked up by my guide Hu (Abby). Again an amazing guide. Our first stop was the giant panda’s after which we had lunch together. In the afternoon she showed me around Chengdu. One of the highlights of my trip was sitting down with her at a local tea house and just talked. For me travelling it is not only about the sights but also the people. So to be able to have a deep and personal conversation with her was great.I ended my trip in Shanghai and have mixed feelings about this city. The city is very modern but there is not much to do unless you like shopping. Also, in the three days I was in Shanghai I had 3 different guides. Although they were nice and knowledgeable, I preferred the personal approach of the guides I had in the other cities.Finally, some tips and tricks:- bring comfortable walking/hiking shoes as there will be a lot of walking;- bring additional toilet paper as not all public spaces have toilet paper at the ready;- early November the hotels do not use air conditioning anymore and had turned on the central heating. Rooms run hot and in one hotel I was not able to open a window;- get an eSIM installed with mobile data before you go to China. I used Holafly and had access to all apps which are normally blocked in China (such as WhatsApp). I also tried using a VPN on my IPad but the VPN apps I tried didn’t really work;- Google Maps is not up to date in China, use Apple Maps;- you don’t really need cash if you can use Alipay. I only used cash to tip my guides and drivers; and- just enjoy yourself. China is a save country and I have felt more than welcome.

What an amazing experience in China Our travel itinerary included Shanghai, Beijing, Xia'an and Zhangjiajie - 12 travel days which were organized with absolute perfection! The accommodations booked, the tour guides on site, the agenda itself - much better than we could have imagined. I am thoroughly impressed by Odynovo as overall organizer and in particular, how honestly they treated us... When our group was tired from traveling and opted out of a dinner experience of Peking duck, the company reimbursed use for the dinner - which is something we did not expect! They were very flexible in accommodating our wishes! Now, I would like to add additional information about our specific tour guides: Our absolute favorite was Nancy in Xi'an. It does not get better than that! Perfectly knowledgable, very personable and just a delight to be with. A close second was JayJay in Shanghai who introduced us to a lot of helpful things to know when we started our trip in Shanghai. For example, it is virtually mandatory to get an Alipay account in China to use QR-code based payment systems. It is VERY easy to use! Our tour guide Sunny in Zhangjiajie was a delight and he really tried to make the best of the fact that we had white out conditions at Tainmen mountain. In Bejing, Jin was trying to provide a lot of historic and cultural information. He was the only one who fell a bit short in our experience, even though our visit to the Great Wall was one of the highlights of the trip. Some additional thoughts... In Beijing, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square are over-rated. If you have never seen them you will think you have to visit them, but you will be disappointed. The Summer Palace is much nicer! Xi'an is fabulous, not just because of the Terracotta soldiers, but the whole city is vibrant, especially at night. Do visit the Muslim Market!High speed trains are a great way to get around. Use them!Chines airport security is focused on lithium battery packs in checked and carry-on luggage. Remember that all battery packs need to carry the CCC symbol (google it).Having a VPN app handy is important if you want to access social media sites, but also your company outlook email!

Amazing Country I'm highly impressed with the infrastructure of this country. The highways, trains, airports and roads in general are very well maintained. This country is green. The gardens even on the side of the roads are amazing. Any little open area is cultivated.Our trip had a bit of everything, historical sites, nature and even adventure.80% of the tourism in China is of Chinese people, so glad they get to see and travel in their own country. If you are planning to visit China please contact Christal Yao at Odynovo. She has organized five trips for me in different countries, and I had never been disappointed. I highly recommend her knowledge and openness to please you. Not only that, she follows your journey and updates you when needed. Christal, you are the BEST!If possible, include Datong Ancient City in your itinerary. I'm glad we went. Even though we took an 18-day tour we only saw a small fraction of this gigantic country. There is something for everyone. LOVED it!!

Truly Spectacular Private Tour Our 23 day private tour of China was amazing and left us wanting to see more of this wonderful country.From the initial planning stage to our return journey, everything was perfect. The transport by car, plane and bullet train was arranged so we got the most out of every destination.Our hotels were 5 star, with beautiful rooms, having the best views possible and within walking distance of many great restaurants, shops and areas we could roam in our free time.Our first stop in Beijing was our highlight, with Tracy a wonderful, friendly and professional guide. She had so much knowledge, excellent English and was a true professional. We looked forward to the daily treats she provided and our lunch stops in various local restaurants.Our 5* boat trip on the Yantze River was spectacular, especially the Three Gorges Dam and Boat Lift. Our other stops, too many to mention here, were meticulously planned and each guide and driver friendly, professional and knowledgeable.The only hiccup on our trip was my Husband becoming unwell and being admitted to hospital. I cannot thank all the people involved enough, for arranging this and ensuring he was well cared for. Especially, our guide JJ and driver, who got me back from a tour in record time. We even got a call from Tracy to check he was ok.I thoroughly recommend Odynovo for both a wonderful trip and outstanding support when things don't go to plan.

Great Wall tour Great experience visiting the Great Wall. Crystal is a very knowledgeable and kind tour guide. I highly recommend this experience.

17 day personal China Tour My husband and I just used Odynovo for our 17 day China tour. We were very pleased with the services that Odynovo provided to us. Our main contact ‘Monica’ handled the itinerary and reservations very well, and was very prompt and clear when any questions arose. In China, our guides were always there when we arrived at each city destination along with a driver to make our arrivals very easy. In Chendu 成都, our guide ‘Emma Yuan’ was tremendously helpful, professional, knowledgeable and amazing in every way. Her English was fantastic, Emma was especially personable, caring and kind- even arranging a late checkout for us due to travel timing. My husband and I thought she was wonderful and professional. We loved her! Our whole trip went smoothly, the price that was given to us was very fair, and the hotels were all nice and in great parts of each city. Overall our trip was a great success and very enjoyable.Thank You Monica and Odynovo!

A Taste of China What an absolutely amazing experience. My husband and I travelled to China with our friends. The level of care and attention given by the company was outstanding. Our guides were very knowledgeable and conducted themselves with professionalism. Everything went as planned . Guide and transport both arrived on time. Our itinerary was tailor made for our needs and we really got a taste of China. I have particular dietary requirements and the guides made sure that these requirements were met.We would like to pay particular thanks to our guides Roy, Rita, Jonathan, Shannon, Mary and Keely they made our experience perfect.
