A wonderful trip to Beijing. Everything taken care of. My family and I spent 3 nights in Beijing, with Dina as our guide and Mr Wong as our driver. It was an incredible experience. A great way to see the city including The Wall, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. Dina thought of everything and very knowledgeable on the history of the city. My wife wanted to visit some extra shops in the city at the end of one day, and they were happy to take us there and translate for us, making it very easy. Highly recommended.

Five stars — and well deserved. Felix was an amazing guide — always there when you needed him, full of great stories, and made the Great Wall, Forbidden City, and Lama Temple come alive. In a city where almost no one speaks English, having him was a lifesaver. The driver was fantastic too, and Odynovo had everything perfectly organized from start to finish. No stress, no surprises — just a great trip.

Best time in Xi’an We were fortunate to have Ms. Jo as our guide. She was so attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. She spoke English well and helped us learn and understand the culture and history. She tailored to our needs and it was definitely great to have her translate each time. I can’t imagine our trip without her by our side. The city is so beautiful. I recommend exploring the Muslim Street, Yongxingfang street, Sangjinggiao market, the City Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and the Grand Tang Ever Bright City. The tour arranged the hotel, train tickets, some meals, and attractions. I highly recommend Ms. Jo. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Wonderful Beijing tour with Crystal We had a lovely guide ,her name was Crystal. During our five days in Beijing She went above and beyond to make sure we saw every important site, accommodated our needs and thanks to her encouragement we got to the great wall. I got a cold and she was so sweet that she went to the pharmacy to get some medicine I had asked for help finding. Truly an awesome person and very knowledgable on the sites.

What an amazing time in Shanghai with Stacy! She was so kind and gave such wonderful insight into this fantasy city! Anytime I asked she took a picture of me and she shared some great food recommendations as well. Request her when you are coming to Shanghai!

We highly recommend this tour.

Odynovo Easter China trip I found Odynovo online and booked with some initial scepticism — you never quite know what you’re going to get with an agency you haven’t used before. By the end of ten days across Guangzhou, Yangshuo and Zhangjiajie, that scepticism had been thoroughly dismantled. My trip planner Nikki Xia was fantastic from the outset — responsive, thorough, and genuinely invested in making the itinerary work for a group of nine with mixed ages and needs. The planning process alone gave me confidence that we were in good hands. On the ground, that confidence was fully justified. Linda in Guangzhou set the tone beautifully for the trip. Alice in Guilin was wonderful — her knowledge of the area brought the Li River and Yangshuo experience to life in a way we couldn’t have managed independently. And Tracey in Zhangjiajie was exceptional — professional, warm, and impressively flexible managing a large group through a demanding destination. I’ve travelled independently in China before and the contrast is not flattering to the DIY approach. With Odynovo, the logistics simply vanished, and that freedom to actually enjoy the country — the food, the landscapes, the culture — made the experience incomparably richer. Odynovo has earned my complete trust. I travel to China regularly and I cannot imagine doing another trip there without them. If you’re considering booking — do it.

36 hours in Beijing What an incredible time in Beijing with my guide Alice and my driver Wang! Both were so kind and helpful and made a packed tour that started with a 6am pickup feel like a breeze. Alice took me to the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs and explained all the exciting history behind it. She gave recommendations for after the tour ended as well. I cannot recommend someone better.

Amazing Beijing trip with Kevin Our short family trip to Beijing was made even more memorable by our guide Kevin Han. Kevin is not only knowledgeable of China’s past history and future prospects, he is also a very passionate storyteller which enhanced our experience

I'll be honest — when I first found Odynovo online I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into. Booking a tour through an agency you've discovered on the internet, for a country as logistically complex as China, requires a degree of trust. I had my reservations. Those reservations didn't survive the first day. From the very beginning, my trip planner Nikki Xia was exceptional. She put together a detailed, thoughtful itinerary for nine of us travelling across Guangzhou, Yangshuo and Zhangjiajie over ten days — a group with mixed ages, different energy levels and varying mobility needs. It's not a simple itinerary to build or to execute, and Nikki managed the planning phase with complete professionalism and genuine flexibility. Every question was answered, every adjustment accommodated. On the ground, we were in equally good hands. Linda guided us through Guangzhou with warmth and deep local knowledge. Alice took care of us in Guilin — the Yangshuo and Li River experience was a highlight of the entire trip, and her guidance made it. Tracey in Zhangjiajie was outstanding — professional, adaptable, and brilliant at managing a large group through one of China's most spectacular and logistically demanding destinations. The hallmark of a great guide is flexibility, and all three had it in abundance. When plans needed to shift, they shifted. When someone in the group needed a different pace or approach, it was accommodated without fuss. There was a warmth and generosity to the service across the board that made the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. For context: I had previously done a DIY trip to China — ten days in Shanghai and Beijing — and I managed. But managing is exactly the right word. Every logistics problem was mine to solve. Every uncertainty about transport, timing and language fell on me. It was fine, but it was also tiring in a way that quietly took the edge off the experience. Travelling with Odynovo this year was a completely different proposition. The logistics simply disappeared. I could be present. I could enjoy China rather than administer it. I intend to travel to China repeatedly in the coming years. I will be using Odynovo every time. If you're on the fence about whether a guided tour is worth it for China, I would say — from direct personal experience of both approaches — that it absolutely is, and Odynovo is the agency to use. Ask for Nikki Xia to plan your trip.

Wonderful Tom was the most delightful guide. He took care of us from beginning to end and everything was seamless. We would highly recommend him as a guide and he made our stay in Guilin extremely enjoyable.

Stress free Beijing tour with the best guide ever Booked our 10 days China Tour private tour with Odynovo. We started and arrived in Beijing and our tour guide Dina met us at the airport with our tour driver Mr. Luo. From the time they picked us up from the airport till our last day in Beijing, we feel that we were taken cared of like more than a family. Truly a stress free visit in Beijing. We feel that Dina went above and beyond our expectations. Took us to restaurants and all her recommendations of food were excellent. We love it. Dina also served as our photographer and she knows the best place or position where to take our picture. She's always looking out for us and made sure we have the best experience in Beijing. Our driver, Mr Luo is an excellent driver, kept us very safe with his driving through the busy traffic throughout Beijing. We can't thank them enough. We highly recommend this tour with Odynovo and our excellent tour guide Dina and our driver Mr. Luo. Stress free tour in Beijing indeed!

Exceptional 3 generation family tour Our family tour (three generations, 7 people) included two boys, age 10 and 13 for 10 days covering Beijing, Xian, Chandu, Shanghai, was exceptional. Lily Guo was the only person we needed to contact to plan the whole trip. She is responsive in all hours when necessary. She showed us the virtue of having a private tour, which is completely flexible even after we started the tour. The English speaking guides were all knowledgeable and attentive. John Jiang in beijing whose Wechat name was “ if I am not handsome you can report to the police” gave us very good suggestions for restaurants for lunch and dinner which we paid ourselves. He showed us a peeking duck, which was the best we have tasted for CNY 400 Yuan. The Guide, Betty Jiao in Xian encouraged us to ask any questions we wanted. We had a thorough tour of the terra-cotta soldiers pits, plus Li Shan garden bronze chariots. She carefully explained why one chariot had to be in front of the other from the different functions and passengers they carried. We were disappointed that Lily couldn’t get tickets to the Shaanxi provincial history Museum, but Betty made the alternate Xian city Museum visit interesting. We saw a spectacular outdoor show called “the song of everlasting sorrow”. At the last minute, we found out that bicycling on top of the Xian City wall was restricted to age 12 to 65. The guide April Lin in Chengdu told us private guides are not allowed to say much inside Shanxingdui museum. She rented audio guides for us. She stayed with us to point out which piece the audio was referring to. As the operation of the audio was not intuitive to us. When we visited a book store, she helped some of us to select Chinese books. The guide in Shanghai Sophie Lee was most energetic and resourceful. When we expressed concern about the driver coughing, she immediately changed the driver. She went above and beyond to order things on WeChat that we needed even after her tour duty. The item appeared to our hotel room within an hour at midnight. The 4-Star hotels were all located right in the center, clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet were fantastic, except the Central Hotel In Shanghai which was ordinary. China offers discounts on senior and youth admission tickets. Lily had the local Guides refund us on the spot. This policy is changing to only for Chinese citizens. Train tickets currently are half price for under 16-year-olds. Everything went smoothly. Odynovo can even locate your missing luggage quickly through their contacts. The cost was $2000 per person. Under 12 yo $500 less, single supplement $500 more. I would definitely recommend Odynovo to friends.
