Odynovo Anmeldelser 

Our land trip through Turkey (Ephesus, Cappadocia and Istanbul) was outstanding! The guides spoke very good English and were knowledgeable, the accommodations were great and the sites/experiences were excellent. I have travelled the world and this is journey was wonderful. Turkey is a bit expensive but very much worth it. Our tour agent, Reinself, was extremely responsive to our needs and the entire trip, including 2 domestic flights, went without a hitch. We used him for our Asia trip and it too was phenomenal.

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.

We have just returned from a spectacular 22-day private tour of China arranged by Ander from Odynovo Tours, we are completely blown away, from start to finish, the entire itinerary was executed flawlessly.
Every single inclusion—including internal flights, bullet trains, and private drivers—was fantastic. We experienced zero delays along the way, which made traveling across such a massive country completely stress-free. Beijing, Xi"an, Lhasa, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yangtze River Cruise, Zhangjiajie and Shanghai.
All the hotels chosen for us were in excellent, central locations and offered great amenities. Our tour guides in every city were incredibly friendly, highly knowledgeable, and spoke English exceptionally well. They truly brought the history and culture of China to life for us.
We are so pleased we chose Odynovo Tours for our China holiday. Their attention to detail and flawless organization made this a trip of a lifetime. We are already looking forward to booking many more holidays through them in the future!

We recently completed a wonderful 10-day tour of Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong with Odynovo as part of a small group of nine travelers.
In Beijing, we visited the Forbidden City, the Hutong area, and Tiananmen Square on our first day. On the second day, we explored the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall and also visited the Olympic Bird's Nest and Water Cube. Our guide in Beijing, Mr. Randy Zhu, was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. He knew the city well and took us to restaurants that served delicious Peking duck. On our departure day, Randy accompanied us to the train station and provided clear instructions on boarding our train to Xi'an. We all loved Randy and appreciated his excellent service.
Upon arriving in Xi'an, our guide, Ms. Candy Zhang, greeted us at the train station and escorted us to our hotel, where she helped with check-in. The following day, we visited the Terracotta Warriors Museum in the morning and explored Muslim Street in the afternoon. Candy has decades of experience as a tour guide in Xi'an. She is warm, caring, and made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond by helping us book tickets for the famous Legend of the Camel Bell show. When it was time for us to leave Xi'an, Candy stayed with us at the airport until we passed through security. She was truly exceptional, and we all missed her after leaving.
In Shanghai, we visited Fuxing Park, Tianzifang, and the Bund waterfront, where we enjoyed taking photos of the impressive skyline. We also toured the beautiful Yu Garden and the Shanghai Museum. Our guide, Ms. Vivian Pan, was helpful. She and our bus driver even worked overtime to ensure we could attend the Shanghai Royal Banquet Dinner Show in the evening.
When we arrived in Hong Kong, we were welcomed by our guide, Mr. Martin Cheng. Martin is energetic, engaging, and clearly knows Hong Kong inside and out. He took us on the historic Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, guided us through the Mid-Levels Escalator area and Central Market, and introduced us to the local favorite dim sum restaurant, Luk On Kui in Sheung Wan. Martin also provided fascinating explanations about the history of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum. He and our bus driver were well-prepared and expertly navigated the busy streets of Hong Kong.
Overall, our trip to China was outstanding. We learned a great deal about Chinese culture, history, and modern life. We appreciate our travel agent Queenie Yang of Odynovo for arranging our hotels, guides, transportation, and transfers. Everything was organized professionally and executed smoothly. We highly recommend Odynovo to anyone considering a tour of China.

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. We look forward to returning to China and traveling with Odynovo Tours again.

We had not heard of Odynovo Tours until I came across them on a google search. I made an enquiry for our South Korea trip and was so impressed with the service from initial enquiry from Ms Joan Qin, a consultant from Odynovo. She accommodated all our requests, was patient while we changed our minds many times and was pleasant and helpful. Her itinerary suggestions were amazing. We have just finished our South Korea Tour and everything was seamless. The hotels were all centrally located, the drivers and guides were all locals who knew the area well. We were so impressed with Odynovo, value for money, and a pleasure to deal with. Joan was always there to answer questions about arrangements, and all communication was concise and clear. We highly recommend Odynovo for your next trip and a huge shoutout to Ms Joan Qin for all her support.

We recently spent a spectacular four days exploring Zhangjiajie, covering both the National Forest Park and the Grand Canyon, arranged by Odynova, and we could not have asked for a better guide than Christina. She is an exceptional professional and truly made our trip a terrific, unforgettable experience.
From day one, Christina impressed us with her deep knowledge of the area, her warm personality, and her trustworthy nature. She consistently went far above and beyond the minimum requirements of her role to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and happy.
What we appreciated most was her impeccable time management. Christina masterfully structured our days so that we utilized our time perfectly, taking extra care to get us to the most important sightseeing areas well before they closed to beat the crowds and catch the best views. Her dedication to her guests is unmatched—she even went out of her way to arrange dinner for us after a long day, completely disregarding the late hour for herself just to ensure we were well taken care of.
On top of her flawless hospitality, Christina has an excellent command of the English language, making communication effortless and engaging throughout our four-day journey.
We wish Christina the absolute best in her career and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier guiding experience in the Zhangjiajie region. Thank you, Christina, for an amazing trip!

Odynovo Review 22-day trip in Asia

Our group is a family of 3 (mom and two adult sons - all able to endure multiple days of walking all day). This is our second time traveling with Odynovo (first was in Vietnam and Thailand - a great experience planned by the same travel consultant!) We are traveling to Japan (10 days), Hong Kong (2 days), and China (10 days). We are fitting a lot into this trip, and, so far, we have done Japan, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Our travel consultant (Joan Qin) has made sure to build an itinerary that has us busy but well-entertained with lots of sight-seeing and a good amount of activity that left us ready for a good night’s sleep. She also ensured we had a day or two of buffer between days-long stretches of activity to be spent in the locations we planned to relax with less activity, such as Okinawa, Hakone, and Luoyang. Though our stays in each city have been 1-2 days, we have not felt like we missed out on the city. Instead, we felt a better sense of which cities we would want to come back and spend a. Longer time visiting.

As for our experience with our tour guides, we have had excellent service! Our tour guides so far have all been personable, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. Our tour guides: Tokyo (Miwa Aiko - so pleasant and always looking after our comfort), Hakone (Mona - very patiently climbed to Arakuyama Summit with us with frequent breaks), Kyoto (Hidekia “Hal” Nakamoto - took great photos for us and traded great stories about his travels with us), Nara (Jason Chou - very knowledgeable about Nara and the deer, very accommodating), Hong Kong (Chas Yip - wonderful guy, enthusiastic and friendly, took his time to make sure we effectively transitioned from being tourists in Japan to being tourists in Hong Kong), and Shanghai (Joy Dai - a special shoutout to Joy for being an exceptional guide as we stumbled through setting up our WeChat and troubleshooting our issues with half-way translated Mandarin-to-English in the app as well as going above and beyond after hours to help us set up a last-minute luggage transfer from Shanghai to Beijing when our hotel concierge at the Hengshan Garden Hotel told us that they didn’t have luggage transfer as a service at the hotel or in China). We loved our experience with each of these guides!

We still have planned visits to Luoyang, Xi’an, and Beijing, but we anticipate just as wonderful an experience.
—
Update at the end of the trip:
The rest of the trip continued to be as wonderful as before. Our tour guides were awesome: Kelly Li in Luoyang was always helpful, pleasant, and engaging with facts about each of the sites we visited. Jessie Hu in Xi’an was a riot! We had a great time full of laughs, learning, and good food. Roy Yan in Beijing took good care of us and was always ready to adjust our scheduled activities to our needs.

Overall, we had a wonderful time on our trip with great use of our time (again, thank you to our travel consultant, Joan Qin) made even better by the lovely tour guides we had!

My husband and I are just back from our third trip with Odynovo. We had two fantastic trips to Vietnam and China and thoroughly enjoyed our most recent trip to Morocco.
Ander Zou yet again assisted me expertly in organising our itinerary in Rabat, Meknes, Fes, Merzouga, Skoura, Ait Ben Haddou and Marrakesh. I do like booking most of our accommodation myself but always appreciate his advice and assistance with logistics, guides and the seamless organisation of the trip. Yet again, our Morocco trip ran like clock-work, thanks to him.
Unlike on our Asian trips, we opted for a driver only in Morocco, with expert guides being provided in Volubilis, Fes, Ait Ben Haddou and Marrakesh. This proved to be a little bit of a learning experience for us. Our driver Rashid was an absolutely lovely guy - kind, punctual, reliable, a safe driver and an all-round wonderful person to be around. However, he had little knowledge of any of the sights we were visiting and could not really fill us in on culture, history, religion and other topics we were interested in and would usually discuss with our guides. We found it a bit strange to be let out of the car near sights without any information or even how to get to the entrance or without anybody having verified opening hours. After the disappointment of finding the Moulay Ismael Mausoleum in Meknes closed when we got there we decided to take a more pro-active approach and do a lot more research/checking ourselves, as well as organising our lunch-stops. Our guides at the designated locations were excellent, especially Khalid in Fes and Lhassan in Marrakesh.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed Morocco (it has come a long way since I first visited 30 odd years ago!) and would happily return to explore more of this fascinating country and stunning architecture. We are grateful to Ander, Rashid and our location guides for all their kindness and expertise. A special thank you to Rashid for the huge box of home-made cookies he gave us as a good-bye gift – what a lovely gesture. No doubt, this will not have been our last trip with Odynovo!

In the last few years I have been using the tour products that Odynovo has to offer. I have been traveling with them in Asia, Latin America, and Northern Africa. All these trip were interesting, organized and executed to perfection!!! Ms Lynn Liu , a senior travel Consultant, created all these trips . With her attention to details, and listening to my requirements, this lady created a flow less programs. All my trips were private utilizing an excellent car and driver/ guide and superb hotel selection. If you are planing a trip, consider utilizing the services of Odynovo and the high quality service of
Ms. Liu Lynn.

Our travel consultant (Lily Guo) showed amazing attention to detail and organizational skills, in that every aspect of our private tour went smoothly, with no setbacks or glitches throughout our 22 days SE Asian trip. Lily's prompt and clear communications to us during the planning, was outstanding.
The guides and drivers, and the hotel selection were exceptional, as were all modes of transport ( motor cars, boats, planes).
Special mention must be given to all our guides, who went far and beyond to make our trip both enjoyable and safe.
I would not hesitate to use Odynovo Tours for all our worldwide future tavel.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cathy Hou at Odynovo twice for international vacations, and I am nothing but pleased with her work and responsiveness! She takes care of all the details we need to enjoy ourselves on our trips. I would recommend her and Odynovo, and I have recommended them to others!

My friend and I just returned from a 10-day trip to Morocco arranged through Odynovo. This was our fourth trip with the company, and our third working with Cathy Hou as our trip coordinator. We had originally booked a Jordan/Cairo trip, but when the Iran war precluded going, Cathy worked with us to pivot to the Morocco itinerary. As with our previous Odynovo trips, she was professional, responsive, and flexible—accommodating our specific requests to customize our sightseeing preferences. Our guides and driver were excellent throughout the trip. We have continued to recommend Odynovo to our family and friends for their vacations!

Odynovo prepared a two week first time visit to China for my wife and I. Communication with Cathy Hou, our rep at Odynovo was great. She listened to our suggestions and insights and created an itinerary that touched on all the things we wanted to see in our first visit to China. We had great guides in all the places we visited but I’d like to single out Luther in Chongqing and Sunny in Zhangjiajie. Luther was an information machine in all things related to Chongqing and China history. He was very knowledgeable and willing to share his insights with our curiosity. Sunny was the same in Zhangjiajie. She was all heart and warmth packed in a tiny package. My wife got sick in Zhangjiajie and we needed to go see a doctor at night. Sunny navigated the translation and the hospital visit with great professionalism and poise and warmth towards my wife that we will always remember and be grateful for. Odynovo has a great team in place to make your visit to China a reality and to ensure you have a great time while doing it.

We had an excellent experience with Odynovo Tours. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and the level of service made us feel like VIPs.

Each city had a different tour guide, and every one of them was knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive. They shared meaningful historical context that made each destination more interesting and memorable. They also gave great shopping recommendations and arranged wonderful lunches that fit our preferences perfectly.

A special thank you to Avril in Shanghai and Holly in Wuhan. Avril was incredibly informative and a pleasure to spend time with, and Holly made our train arrival in Wuhan smooth and stress free.

We also truly appreciated the train arrangements. We requested business class tickets, and Odynovo went above and beyond by securing a private train car for our family, which was a highlight of the trip.

Overall, Odynovo exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely travel with them again.

We recently completed a 14-day trip to China with Odynovo, and it exceeded our expectations. As first-time visitors, we had many questions, and our main travel consultant, Cathy, was incredibly patient, structured, and trustworthy throughout the entire planning process.
Our journey took us through Shanghai, Guilin (which we explored on our own), Chengdu, Xi’an, and Beijing. In every city, the local guides were prompt, knowledgeable, and approachable, making each stop seamless and enriching.
Overall, it was a well-organized and memorable experience. We’d definitely recommend Odynovo to anyone planning their first trip to China.

Kim met us at the Ho Che Min airport, with the biggest smile & friendly personality which was such a welcome & great start to our tour. Her advice, help in all area’s of where to shop, where to eat, sharing knowledge of all area’s we visited, was impeccable. Her knowledge of Vietnam was great, any questions were answered immediately & if not she found out for us.
A wonderful tour guide & a very very special person From the Howie’s/ Hughes Travelling Aussie’s

Would thoroughly recommend Odynovo. From booking through to actually being on the trip the service has been amazing. Cathy was super helpful with customising the itinerary and her infinite patience with our many tweaks. There were many thoughtful additions and some lovely surprises while we were away. The guides were all amazing and great accommodation in good locations. There was a flight change and this was all sorted to ensure we had the best possible experience. Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending Odynovo and Cathy to organise a great trip.

We just got home from a South China tour arranged by Allison Chiang and Odynovo. Allison had planned a great Vietnam trip for my wife and I and friends a few years ago and she came through again. She customized the trip for the two of us and gave what turned out to be really useful advice. The guides were all great--knowledgeable and personable. We especially liked Linda Da in Guangzhou, Lu in Guilin and Mei Mei Yang in Zhangjiajie. Lu and Mei, who were with us the longest, made us feel like family. The whole experience in China was so smooth and so much fun.

Thank you so much to Odynovo and our incredible travel agent, Christal, for making our trip to Morocco truly unforgettable.
From the very beginning, Christal was attentive, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and created an itinerary that perfectly balanced culture, adventure, and relaxation. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the beautiful riads to the seamless transportation and the amazing local guides who brought Morocco to life.
What stood out the most was how smooth and stress-free everything felt. Traveling in a new country can be overwhelming, but thanks to Odynovo and Christal, we never had to worry about anything. Whenever we had questions or needed small adjustments, Christal was always quick to respond and ensure everything was taken care of.
Morocco itself was breathtaking—the vibrant souks, the stunning Sahara Desert, and the rich history, but having such a well-organized and personalized trip made the experience even more special.
We are so grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime experience and would highly recommend Odynovo and Christal to anyone planning a trip. Thank you again for making everything so easy and enjoyable!
