  In 2011, my wife and I used the services of Odynovo Tours and experienced the beautiful sights of China for a fortnight. It was a well organised tourist trip, full of impressions and communication with the company's guides, whom we still remember today. The time has come and I decided to use Odynovo Tours again: I took my 12 year old grandson on a trip and we spent almost a week in early July 2024 seeing the sights in and around Beijing. At my request Odynovo Tours bought us theatre tickets for the best seats and we enjoyed watching a flamenco concert of the Royal Spanish Theatre in Beijing, then went to an amazing and world famous acrobat performance. We saw the great wall of China, and other famous sights. For us it is an unforgettable experience of getting acquainted with Chinese culture. We spent five wonderful days with a charming guide Alice Zuo. She, talking about the sights of the capital of China, showed a deep knowledge of history, various events, answering questions, showing her erudition. Alice was an outstanding guide, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly and it was a real pleasure to be with her while visiting the various attractions in Beijing.Her professionalism was also evident as she skilfully guided us through the queue to the attractions, saving us time to visit other attractions.When seeing us off, at the airport, she took us all the way to the boarding counter for our next flight.This shows a deep care and respect for tourists. We are very grateful to her!!!Next trip we will ask Odynovo Tours to invite Alice again. I would also like to mention the driver; he is also wonderful alert and caring. There was always water, sweets, apples and peaches in the car, cool after the heat outside. Mola Xiao, our travel consultant, is an amazing professional in her field. A special mention should be made about her. She put together a great programme for our trip, instantly answered many of my questions about the tour arrangements, and advised on how to make our visit better for my grandson's interests. In the process of preparing the tour I had an incredible pleasure to communicate with Mola Xiao in an informal way: we exchanged opinions on the latest modern films, on many cultural and social issues of modern life. I am delighted with my dialogue with Mola Xiao. She is a very erudite, well-educated specialist in her field. Through her I understand better the culture of modern China. I am an experienced traveler, of course I could have found and booked the hotel and everything else I need for my trip myself. Why do I turn to Odynovo Tours? For me it is very important to communicate with people, to get their opinion on certain issues, without such communication it is impossible to understand another culture. I am extremely interested in how our trip organizers talk about themselves, their families, their children who are at school, what their problems are. I have been teaching social studies at university for 44 years, and after visiting China 13 years ago, I talk to my students about many elements of Chinese culture based on my experience with Chinese guides and tour organizers from Odynovo Tours. It should be emphasised that due to various circumstances I was not able to pay the cost of the tour, in advance, as it is always done. This is a very unique example of Odynovo tours consultant Mola Xiao trusting me to pay for the tour upon arrival!!!!In other words, Odynovo tours consultant Mola Xiao paid in advance for the hotel and everything else that was included in our tour!!!This is an amazing fact of trust in travelers in my opinion! I have read many reviews of Odynovo Tours work, all of them quite rightly extremely positive - it really is!!!But no one seems to have mentioned this situation of Odynovo Tours' trust in its customers. This is very important and extremely raises the prestige of Odynovo Tours. It shows the stability of the company, its reliability. Thank you for such trust. It is worth a lot! I would not hesitate to recommend Odynovo Tours to anyone, including my students, and would use Odynovo Tours again - they were professional from start to finish. Thank you again for making our trip to China unforgettable.

  Loved our trip. We had over booked two tours and we were worried we would be out the money we spent with viatour. However, they helped us make things work. We had our personal guide, Ben. He was great. We loved every moment of it. Thanks

  An excellent tour. Well-organized, time well-spent, lots to see, all quite interesting. My guide, Eva, was well-informed, spoke English very well, and was easy to travel with. I enjoyed our conversations together and learned a lot. The breakfast at the Queli Hotel in Qufu could be improved (even the Chinese food).
