We used Odynovo tours for our family trip to China where we visited Beijing, Xi’an, Chengdu, Guilin, Yangshuo, Zhianjiajae, and Shanghai. They prepared a wonderful itinerary for us, tailored to everything we wanted to city making accommodations as we progressed through the trip. In each city we had a private guide/driver who would meet us at the airport/train station and be with us until they drop us off at the next airport/train station. The guides were extremely nice and personable. They were happy to show us their native cities, most of them who were raised in the cities they showed us. We were very happy that they helped us enjoy our vacation.
Beijing Odynovo Review
John (guide) and Mr. Go (driver) took very good care of our family. From the moment they picked us up at the airport to when they dropped us off at the train station to go to the next city, they always made sure we had everything we needed and were available for us. We enjoyed our tours of the forbidden city, Tiannamen square, and of course the Great wall!
The trip to Morocco was truly fantastic. Everything went so smoothly!
The driver was very professional and on time every single time.
The guides were excellent. We asked prior to the trip for the guides to be quick and efficient, and they were!
The fact that we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING was priceless. The hotels were awesome, the staff were professional, kind and helpful.
The days were not crazy busy ,we had time to chill at the hotel and recover from jet lag.
My husband and I were blown away! We will book our Egypt trip with Odynovo very soon!

Memorable trip to China thanks to Odynovo Tours
We highly recommend Odynovo Tours and our travel consultant, Cathy, for organizing an outstanding first trip to China. From the very beginning, Cathy was responsive, professional, and attentive to every detail. She provided excellent recommendations, maintained clear communication throughout the planning process, and ensured that everything ran smoothly.
Our journey included Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai, and each destination exceeded our expectations. In Beijing, our guide Jack was exceptional—his extensive knowledge of Chinese history, culture, and daily life made every day both educational and enjoyable. Our driver was equally outstanding, always ensuring convenient access to attractions, which added greatly to our comfort. We also loved our hotel, which was beautiful and provided the perfect place to relax after each day of sightseeing.
In Xi’an, our guide Key delivered an excellent experience with his deep knowledge of the city's history, culture, and cuisine. His fluent English and engaging explanations made the tour especially memorable. The driver was professional, punctual, and efficient, making every transfer seamless.
In Shanghai, Ella Huang provided a wonderful city tour, sharing fascinating insights into the city's history and culture. She guided us through iconic sites including The Bund, a traditional Chinese garden, and the Shanghai Museum, while also recommending excellent local restaurants. Her driver was reliable and punctual, contributing to a well-organized and enjoyable experience.
As first-time visitors to China, we felt safe, informed, and well cared for throughout our journey. Choosing Odynovo Tours was one of the best decisions we made, and we are grateful to Cathy and the entire team for creating such a memorable experience.

Excellent Tour Guide with Warm Caring Linda Li in Beijin
Linda Li is a friendly, warm, gentle, and caring tour guide based in Beijing. I had a very pleasant experience with her and the driver, Mr. Huan. It was a thrilling 3-day experience; Linda met us at Beijing South train station. She was very caring, such that she went the extra mile and found a way to meet us at train station platform. She escorted and guided us to important places -Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China, the segment Mauyna close to Beijin and other sites, as well as good dining places. She has sound knowledge of the area and culture. You will enjoy Linda LI as your guide in Beijin

A most extraordinary vacation
Just returned from a most fantastic trip to China. Odynovo Tours lived up to every word of their advertising and exceeded our highest expectations. Five different regions each with a different guide. Each exceptionally knowledgeable of their region. All of them very attentive and accommodating. We were met at the station at each point of our journey and never left waiting or wanting. White glove treatment all the way. As good as, if not better, treatment of any of the big-name companies at a much better price. A special shout out to our agent Allen Mo who was in constant contact with the guides and ensuring our progress was smooth and extraordinary. His ongoing contact and conversation with us prior to our trip ensured we were able to see all the sites and enjoy all the experiences we asked for. His final itinerary provided us with a most magical vacation. Thank you Allen, Felix #1(Beijing), Amber (Xi’an), Lindsey (Zhangjiajie), Anne (Guilin) and Felix #2 (Shanghai).

Inaugural China Trip to Beijing
This was our first trip to China, and we weren't entirely sure what to expect. Given the short duration of our stay, we decided to sign up for a private tour. Of all the tour companies we had contacted, Susan Su from Odynovo was the most responsive, accommodating and thorough in planning our itinerary. We were assigned to Dina Zhang, an experienced and excellent guide with a deep understanding of Beijing’s history and culture, akin to a walking Wikipedia. She provided engaging, essential context at every site we visited, making the complex history much easier to appreciate. With more than 2 decades of experience under her belt, Dina knows exactly where to go for the best views. She guided us to fantastic vantage points to capture great photos without the usual crowds. We were also introduced to excellent local eateries instead of the usual pricey tourist restaurants. Our driver Mr. Luo handled the Beijing traffic with ease and provided top-tier service throughout the trip, giving us peace of mind in a new country. He was reliable and highly responsive to our schedule and any adjustments we needed to make. He was courteous, and the vehicle was always clean and well-maintained, making our transfers between sites comfortable and relaxing. Navigating China for the first time can feel daunting, but Dina Zhang and Mr. Luo made a great team. Thanks to their professionalism, knowledge, and care, our first trip to Beijing was seamless and memorable. For our future China trips, Odynovo will definitely be our first port of call for private tours.

Great first time family trip to China
We did a 10 day private tour in China to Yangshuo, Xian , and Beijing arranged by Odynovo. It was a great experience from start to finish, our trip planner Nikki did an excellent job of arranging our itinerary and the hotels we stayed at were wonderful . We were met by guides at the airport and train station and they helped us check in to our hotels and we felt really taken care of . Thank you to our guides and drivers : Mr Jack in Beijing, Ms Echo in Xian and Ms Sophie in Guilin . Will definitely use Odynovo again for future trips to Asia !

Beijing Tour
The tour was amazing from the start of Forbidden City to the end of the Temple of Heaven. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to adjust to the needs and wants of the tour specifically. The guide and driver were able to get us everywhere on time with little wait times and before the rush. Highly recommend this tour. (Guide Alice/Driver Guan)

Roy made our trip to Beijing spectacular!
Roy Y. is the most amazing guide. He cared for us like family. Our youngest son is special needs, and he showed him and our family the greatest respect. We loved our tour of Beijing and learned so much. I would recommend Mr. Roy and his team and driver to anyone. Just a wonderful experience. We did not need to worry about anything. He is a great guide and teacher. I can’t wait to come back to Beijing so we can see more of this beautiful city.

Vu was great!!
Our tour guide, Vu, was great. It was easy to find him at the airport, he was knowledgeable with all of our questions, and he helped us with whatever we needed. We mentioned laundry once and he arranged a laundromat owner to come pick our laundry up at the hotel for us! He was super helpful with translating with the locals too. Thank you Vu for being great!!

Day 3 of 11-Day Tour - Beijing Tourist Sights (1)
We had a day visiting Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City and the old neighbourhoods (square houses) in Beijing and had a lovely time. Our guide Alice was very knowledgeable and shared her knowledge in a very engaging and fun way that made the experience very interesting, and gave good recommendations for us to consider when making decisions on how to proceed during the tour. Mr. Guan, our driver, was also very good and provided us a smooth experience with transportation. Overall, it was a great time!

Beijing Day 1 Tour
Had an amazing day with Alice’s on the Tiananmen, Forbidden City and old city tour. The sights is one of a kind and with Alice’s knowledge and passionate delivery made the tour experience memorable. Learned a lot and to top it up, meander in the old city to see a quaint and quiet side of a bustling city was an eye opener. Vibe was great. Our driver Mr Guan delivered a great service. The calm drive amidst the busy traffic is commendable. The clean and airiness of the car just made the experience more better.

Truly Fantastic!
Our Morocco trip was truly fantastic. We spent 2 weeks there. Everything went so smoothly! The driver was very professional and on time every single time. The guides were excellent. We asked prior to the trip for the guides to be quick and efficient, and they were. The fact that we didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING was priceless.

Trip of a lifetime
Our trip to China was truly the experience of a lifetime, and we owe so much of that to the incredible team at Odynovo. From the very beginning, our trip consultant, Cannon, was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us create the perfect itinerary. He took the time to understand what we wanted to experience and designed a personalized journey that allowed us to make the most of every moment in China. Each city was amazing in its own way, but what truly made this trip unforgettable were our exceptional tour guides. In Beijing, Roy brought China’s rich history to life. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling made every site feel meaningful and memorable. Whether we were exploring ancient landmarks or learning about Chinese culture, Roy’s passion and personality made the experience one of a kind. In Xi’an, Kevin went above and beyond in every possible way. His knowledge of the Terracotta Warriors, the city’s history, and local culture was outstanding. More importantly, he treated us like friends rather than tourists. His thoughtfulness and kindness, including creating special gifts for our loved ones back home, made our time in Xi’an incredibly special. In Chengdu, Winnie shared her extensive knowledge of pandas and the local culture while ensuring our experience was tailored to our interests. Her warmth and expertise helped create memories we will never forget. In Shanghai, Autumn provided the perfect conclusion to our journey. She expertly guided us through the city, helped us discover wonderful local restaurants and attractions, and went out of her way to ensure every detail was taken care of. Her kindness didn’t stop when the tour ended she even checked on us after our departure to make sure we arrived safely. China itself exceeded every expectation. The breathtaking sights, fascinating history, incredible food, and warm hospitality were remarkable. However, what elevated this trip from a great vacation to a once-in-a-lifetime experience were the people. Every guide was knowledgeable, professional, caring, and passionate about sharing their country with us. We cannot thank the entire Odynovo team enough for creating memories that will last forever. If you’re considering a trip to China, we wholeheartedly recommend Odynovo. This was truly one of the best travel experiences of our lives.
