    We have just finished a private Indian Tour with Odynova. I suggested my rough itinery and they did the rest, organizing sightseeing, hotels and travel between cities. We had an excellent driver and local guides in the cities we visited making it a stress free adventure. Don Li my main contact with the company always answered my queries promptly and honestly. I would highly recommend this company. Rebecca R

    Being in China for a science conference, I was hoping to do some sightseeing but didn't feel comfortable exploring on my own without speaking the language. Thankfully a colleague suggested I reached out to Anders at Odynovo. He was most helpful at organizing a short private tour, which was absolutely fantastic. Having a private car and a highly knowledgeable and friendly guide, Ms. Dina Zhang, made it super-easy to tour the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace in Beijing and traveled to the Great Wall, all wonderful places. Thanks to Dina - who is also a great photographer - I have lots of beautiful pictures of me in these locations to remind me of a very special trip.
