Xi’An great tour 5 stars Xi’an – 5+ Stars Continuing our 30-day private China tour with Odynovo, Xi’an was a fascinating stop. Our guide Lisa, brought the city’s 3,000 years of history to life as we explored the ancient City Wall, Muslim Quarter, and the incredible Terracotta Warriors. Seeing nearly 8,000 life-sized warriors created more than 2,200 years ago was truly unforgettable. We enjoyed delicious local specialties including biang biang noodles and dumplings, and the evening Tang Dynasty dinner show was spectacular, with beautiful costumes, music, and dancing. As always, the guide, driver, and hotel were excellent. Xi’an perfectly blended history, culture, and great food. Highly recommended!

Great Zhangjiajie experience Our trip to China with Odynovo has been amazing. I already left a review of Beijing but since then we’ve been to Xi’an and Zhangjiajie. Our guide Yeena Wen in Zhangjiajie was amazing..helpful, friendly, fun, and informative. The driver was excellent and we absolutely loved the stunning beauty of the region and the park. Highly recommend!

Lo que más me sorprendió de Pekin fueron sus avenidas con camellones llenos de Rosas de todos colores. Por supuesto sus edificio Magnífico Pekin. Me dejó sin palabras

Dina and Mr. Zhang in Beijing leg of China trip If you are visiting Beijing, booking Dina from Odynovo is an absolute must. She guided us through Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall, transforming a massive sightseeing itinerary into a seamless, deeply enriching experience. Dina brings history to life with her incredible storytelling and deep expertise, while flawlessly handling all the complex logistics, security checkpoints, and crowd navigation. Warm, attentive, and highly professional, she knew exactly how to pace the day for the best views and photo spots. My father requires a wheelchair and she was very accommodating to trailer our daily sightseeing trips to his needs. She even came prepared with umbrellas and panchos on a rainy morning. Dina turned an amazing trip into an unforgettable one, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! Mr. Zhang was our driver for the trip. Always soo helpful and made sure we always had ice cold water for the day. Driving was always safe and steady, especially if you have travelers with car motion sickness.

Odynovo Tours is a company created by the founder who had great memories of traveling and want to provide travelers with the best service and memories traveling. I’ve researched weeks to find a tour company and specialized with China tours. I’ve emailed 5 companies waiting for their tour information. John Hu with Odynovo was focused on planning the tour of few places I wanted. Other companies provided general information without specific follow up. Every step in this booking this tour was simple because of his experience working with clients. Day one of our tour with their driver and guide was amazing. My husband was so happy and gave them a great tip. To hear my husband say that this is the best trip and great memories with the best guide and driver is what I knew he would say. Odynovo’s vision is part of what make it special. Great memories great time. I look forward to book our next trip. Thank you John Hu for planning it all. Everyone is amazed and loved our tour.

5+ star experience - THANK YOU Sara and Dana! We had the pleasure of having Odynovo help us with an 8-day trip across Zhangjiajie, Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou. We had the pleasure of having Sara as our guide in Zhangjiajie, and she genuinely made the trip. From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly proactive — checking weather conditions in advance, adjusting our route to beat the crowds, and pre-booking cable car and shuttle slots so we never wasted time queuing. Her knowledge of the national park was excellent. She knew exactly which viewpoints were worth the detour, when the light would be best for photos, and shared loads of context about the geology and local culture that we'd never have picked up on our own. The Avatar Mountains and Tianmen Mountain were highlights, and she paced the days perfectly so we never felt rushed or exhausted. Beyond the logistics, Sara was just genuinely lovely to spend time with — patient, attentive, great English, and quick to sort anything we needed, from restaurant recommendations to helping us navigate payment apps. Nothing was ever too much trouble. She was more like a friend to us than a tour guide, and we really appreciated the snacks she got for us when we first arrived! We then had Dana as our tour guide during our trip to Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou, and she played a huge role in making the experience truly memorable. From the moment we met her, Dana brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to every day of the tour. Her cheerful personality was infectious and helped create a fun and relaxed atmosphere for everyone in the group. Dana was always available whenever we needed assistance, whether it was answering questions, helping with arrangements, providing local recommendations, or simply checking that everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Her dedication and attentiveness made us feel well looked after throughout the trip. She was highly knowledgeable about the places we visited and shared interesting insights that enhanced our appreciation of the culture, history, and natural beauty of the region. What stood out most, however, was her genuine care for the group and her constant effort to ensure that everyone had a wonderful experience. THANK YOU Sara and Dana and would recommend 100% to anyone wanting to travel to China!

An Exceptional Journey Through China with Odynovo Our recent trip to China exceeded every expectation, and we are incredibly grateful to Odynovo for making it such a memorable experience. From the very first stages of planning, Cathy Hou at Odynovo was attentive, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us create the perfect itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to enjoy the excitement of traveling without the stress of managing complicated logistics. We encountered no difficulties throughout the trip, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. We visited remarkable destinations, including the majestic Terracotta Warriors, the vibrant city of Shanghai, and beautiful Chengdu. Each experience offered a wonderful balance of history, culture, and modern life. The accommodations were excellent, transportation was seamless, and the local guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to share the stories and traditions of their country. As first-time visitors to China, we especially appreciated how supported and cared for we felt throughout the journey. Even though we did not speak Mandarin, we always felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. Whenever we had questions, assistance was readily available. The organization, professionalism, and attention to detail gave us confidence and peace of mind every step of the way. We would like to extend special thanks to our guide, Vivian, who was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to help us, including assisting with shopping in the bazaar and making sure we could order meals even when we were not touring with her. Her kindness, knowledge, and willingness to help made our experience even more enjoyable. We would also like to thank our driver, Mr. Li, for ensuring our safety and comfort throughout our travels. His professionalism and care were greatly appreciated. What impressed us most was that the trip felt personalized rather than scripted. We were able to immerse ourselves in China's rich history and contemporary culture while knowing that every transition had been carefully coordinated behind the scenes. That level of care allowed us to simply enjoy each moment and create lasting memories. China turned out to be one of the most fascinating places we have ever visited, and Odynovo played a tremendous role in making the experience so special. We returned home with wonderful memories, a deeper appreciation for Chinese culture, and stories we will be sharing with family and friends for years to come. If you are considering a trip to China, we wholeheartedly recommend Odynovo. Their expertise, personalized service, and dedication to creating meaningful travel experiences truly set them apart. Thank you, Odynovo, for an exceptional travel experience. We would not hesitate to travel with you again. The Kaiser Family

Odynovo Beijing group tour with Tracy We are a family of three and decided to do a very affordable small group guided tour. Our guide was Tracy from Odynovo. Tracy is extremely professional and punctual, superbly organised and a wonderful person to get along with. Her English is great and she knows her city very well. She was able to tailor our trip to our needs and was able to pivot easily to ensure we had the smoothest entry to all the best sightseeing locations at the best times. Without Tracy we would not have had such an amazing stress free holiday. I would happily return to Beijing and have Tracy as our guide again, she went above and beyond our expectations.

Highly recommend Odynovo for family trip to China We had a wonderful experience using Odynovo for our first family trip to China. There were 10 of us, ages 17-64. This was a wonderful first trip to China. Odynovo handled all of the logistics and everything went perfectly - we made several significant shifts in our itinerary including adding an extra traveler, requesting adjustments to sites and one hotel (because we had a recommendation not due to a problem), and one adjustment to flight times. Odynovo processed all of these flawlessly. Our guides (Alice, Jessica, Sonny, Rooney) and drivers were friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They were always on time and flexible according to our needs. They were experts at navigating sites and crowds - having them guide us definitely enhanced our experience and saved us much anxiety and stress. We feel like this was a trip of a lifetime and hope to use Odynovo again

I had a 3 week private tour of China with Odynovo. It included Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an but also Xinjiang and the Gobi Desert and the Tibetan plateau. I had several different guides and they were all wonderful, caring, reliable and with excellent English. Before I went I discussed in great detail with Owen Zhou what I wanted to do. He always replied promptly and gave me very thorough answers. He tried his best to give me what I wanted and I had a wonderful trip. So much so I am using Owen again for a second trip and once again he is sending me very detailed answers and suggestions and patiently making changes when I want them.. Really excellent service and highly recommended.

Fantastic trip to Guilin and Yangshou We enjoyed our trip to Guilin and Yangshou. Thanks to Maple with Odynovo for arranging everything and special thanks to Ellen (Jiang) Xu for taking great care of us. Jiang was there with us throughout our trip starting with the airport pick up to leaving us at the airport on our way to Shanghai. She took of our vegetarian diet restrictions including temple buffet close to the Guilin Bravo hotel, dinner at the Secret Garden in Yangshuo and rice noodle in Guilin. We also enjoyed the Li river cruise, river front show in Yanshou and the country side walking tour. Jiang has excellent knowledge of the various sites and explained all the tourist spots very clearly and answered all our questions with lot of patience. We also enjoyed our walk around the lake in front of our hotel in Guilin.
