    · August 15th, 2025
    I had an absolutely fabulous experience with Odynovo Tours for my 10 day trip to Thailand in May of 2025, as anyone does I spent a lot of time speaking to Lynn Liu my travel consultant and she was so patient and helpful with me in planning and working out all the details of the trip. So I felt really good going into the trip Once we were there, we met Ms. Nutnapa Songsee (Julie), who guided us on the Bangkok portion of the trip which included the one day trip referenced on this review. I can not say enough great things about Julie, she had so much knowledge, was so friendly and helpful, we got such a great overview of Bangkok, seeing the Grand Palace and Temple, and the night food tour was just terrific, I wish I could have eaten everything! We also thoroughly enjoyed the floating and railroad markets outside of the city Next we went to Chiang Mai where we met Ms. Jitnattha Somboon (Vicky). Vicky was equally as terrific as Julie as she showed us around Chiang Mai visiting the beautiful temples and eating the local food. We also got to experience the Baan Chang Elephant Sanctuary and the meeting with a local family to cook a fabulous Thai mean and enjoy that The trip ended with a relaxing time in beautiful Phuket, where we most spent relaxing in our hotel and again eating some terrific food I would highly recommend doing a tour with Odynovo, the planning, the itinerary and the planning was first rate, we enjoyed everything about our trip and definitely look forward to using them again for anything in the future!

    We enjoyed an outstanding travel adventure through Southeast Asia, visiting Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam March 2nd to March 15th of 2025. Many thanks to Odynovo. and Ander Zou, our travel organizer and planner for this outstanding private tour, it was a pleasure to work with him. All communication was prompt and clear and we appreciated that he customized our itinerary to meet our schedule and needs. Every detail including hotels and transfer travel was organized in such a way that the entire experience was flawless, and each day's activities gave adequate time to tour and explore without feeling rushed. Our Guides Tammy in Bangkok, Bond in Seam Reap, Victor in Ho Chi Min and Deip in Hanoi and their drivers were warm, knowledgeable people and we also enjoyed their sense of humor, they took great care of us. The time they reserved to greet us and return us to the respective airports was appreciated, we felt special. There's no doubt, Odynovo has put together a great value in private travel opportunities for tours to destinations of a lifetime. We would happily recommend them to fellow travelers, family and friends alike.

    The guided tours are expertly curated and take you to all the sights. We’ve experienced Thailand through the food, the temples, ruins, museums, restaurants, nightlife, boats, beaches, islands, and the people. Our favorite is our guide Sydney in Bangkok whose kindness, sense of humor and grace made us feel like honored guests. We are forever grateful.
