    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.
