What people love about Private Tours in China
- Best of China with Avatar Mountains (Private Customize)
The tour was absolutely wonderful. The translators were very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and allowed us to maintain our pace. Sometimes we were slow and making videos, other times we walked at a quick pace. We were treated wonderfully and always felt safe. After hours, the taxis are cheap and with written notes from our translators, we were able to explore on our own safely.
- Essence of China (Private Customize)
We had great time in China and Angkor Wat. Our tour was customized to our interests and arranged , so that we could visit friends in Shanghai. At every airport and rail station an English speaking Odynovo representative was there to meet us and guide us through , the sometimes odd (for us foreigners) ways of China bureaucracy. We stayed at some great hotels with sumptuous breakfasts. Our tour guides were friendly and informative and guided us through our targeted destinations. They were flexible to accommodate special requests along the way. We especially enjoyed the Boat ride from Guilin, the pandas, and our visit to a Chinese residence.
Realistic Asia paid close attention to details. They were very accommodating and responsive. The tour guides were knowledgeable and made a big difference to our experience. Definitely will look at other tours offered by Realistic Asia
