We booked our honeymoon trip with Odynovo to China (Jan 2020) and visited Shanghai, Chengdu, Lhasa, Xi'an and Beijing. We had private tour guides and drivers in each city, they all had great knowledge, good manners and were very punctual. All our expectations were exceeded we just needed to relax and enjoy. I will highly recommend Odynovo as a travel agent they are very professional, courteous and reply promptly to inquiries.

We organised our own private tour through a consultant with Odynovo. Maple our consultant was brilliant. We gave her a few ideas and places to go and she gave us a customised itinerary. After several tweaks, of which she was more than accommodating, we had our own private tour that was perfectly organised. It was absolutely stress free. We had private transport at every destination and our guides were great.
We did it all. Great Wall, Pandas, cooking classes, river cruise, Mountain climbs and the bustling city life. We learnt so much about the history and culture and our guides happily taught us mandarin. You just need to let them know what kind of holiday you want and they will provide it for you.
A big thankyou to Jeff in Beijing. He was absolutely brilliant. I cannot recommend him enough if you are thinking of going there. He has so much local knowledge and history. As did most of our guides.

This tour was awesome! Our guide Crystal was very knowledgeable about the cultural-historical conditions that began to form the People’s Republic of China. Crystal provided my mom and I exquisite, professional service! I would very definitely recommend this tour option...more specifically, our quite Crystal!

There were only two of us In our group. We had requested to see four main sites in Beijing. We kept asking our guide Alice about going to the Olympic Center. We only drove by it and had to climb up on a road barrier to take a picture. We were taken to several temples we had not asked to see. Alice also picked the placed we are lunch and she ordered dumplings both day. Not the best. Our Guide talked a lot to the driver. I am a slow walker and our guide was patient with me. We were disappointed in Odyssey in Beijing especially for what we paid. We had a great Odyssey guide Emma in Xian.

Dear Lighthouse80121,
Thank you for choosing China Odyssey Tours for your trip to China, and thank you for giving us your feedback on your tour, your feedback is invaluable, it would greatly help us improve.
We sincerely apologize for the unsatisfactory experience you had in Beijing. We paid the highest attention to your feedback and thorough investigation was conducted. As our customers could require their guides and drivers to bring them closer to the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube when they are visiting the Olympic Park from the outside, we are truly sorry that Alice did not bring you closer to the compound and give you plenty of time to take pictures in a better environment. A tour of the Temple of Heaven was included in your package, we sincerely hope that you enjoyed your visit to that attraction. Lunches at local restaurants in Beijing were also included. Unfortunately as it has already past two’ clock in the afternoon after your visit to the Sacred Way, most restaurants in Beijing were closed during two’ clock to five’ clock in the afternoon and options were very limited, we deeply regret that you had dumplings.
China Odyssey Tours values customer experience and customer satisfaction the most, we strive to provide satisfactory travel experiences to every customer. We provide training and education to our guides on a scheduled basis, and we value every review as feedback from our customers would help us improve. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on your tour in Beijing with us, please accept our sincere apology for your unsatisfactory experience there. We will provide further training and education to Alice so that she could better accommodate to our customers’ requirements as well as being patient and helpful when providing service. Stricter policy will also be applied to make sure that similar situations never happen again. It is our most sincere hope that you could travel with us again in the future, and we will make sure that your tour with us would not disappoint next time.
Warmest regards,
Femando Shen

We booked our trip through China Odyssey Tours just a few days before we came to China (a very last minute decision). The company travel agent, Laura Li, was fantastic at tailoring an itinerary to suite our needs at very short notice. She was also exceptionally helpful in helping us secure our visas for China. Throughout our time in China, Laura continually checked in on us via email and phone-calls to ensure we were happy and enjoying our stay (brilliant service!)
Upon arriving in Beijing, we were greeted by our guide, Carla, a friendly, very well spoken, educated individual who took great care of us during our stay in Beijing. Carla was exceptionally knowledgeable about the sites she took us to and allowed us flexibility and choice in terms of what to see and when to see it and was happy to provide her own recommendations. One of the best guides we've ever had on our travels around the world!
The Great Wall was a highlight for us and this was thanks to the section of the wall that Odyssey Tours selected for us to visit (Mutianyu Area) - not only was the scenery spectacular but we felt like we were the only tourists up there ... not crowded like some other parts of the wall.
We would have no hesitation in recommending this company to people interested in seeing the amazing sites Beijing has to offer!

This was an excellent tour package. We had four days, three nights and stayed at the Fairmont Hotel, Beijing, a 4.5-star hotel. Breakfast at the hotel (excellent Asian and International buffet, including a noodle bar) was included, as were lunches on tour days. The schedule contemplated two and a half days of touring, but we had to compress it into two days, because our departing flight on the fourth day was too early in the afternoon to accommodate any touring on the last day. That compression was caused by us, so I'd recommend that you fly out as late as possible on the last day. Still, we managed to do all of the scheduled tour events in two days instead of two and a half.
The first day of the tour included Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and a Hutong Tour/Beijing Opera mask craft activity. There was also a sales pitch at the Imperial Tea House (which I will get to later -- tl;dr: Don't buy anything there!). That evening, we added a Peking Duck dinner for US$65/person, including transportation to and from the restaurant. The dinner was at Dadong Duck and was fantastic!
The second day was a walking tour of the Great Wall at Mutianyu and the Sacred Path (at the Ming Tombs).
The tour overall was great! It was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Nick, was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, and our driver was also. The pace of the tour was exactly right, since there is a great deal of flexibility when you are on a private tour, and it never felt rushed. The tour hit all of the "must-see" spots in Beijing, aside from the Summer Palace (which is quite a schlep and probably would have required an extra day), and Nick was great at explaining the history and cultural significance of the various sites. He was also great with taking photos of us as a group. If you want a tour at your own pace, at a reasonable cost, I highly recommend a private tour with China Odyssey!
Now to the only point of dissatisfaction (which turns my 5-star review into a 4-star review). The Imperial Tea House at Jingshan Park is a scam. Period. You are first softened-up by a "tea ceremony" at which you and your companions are served samples of four or five admittedly good teas. Note, however, it is a calculated tactic to get you to feel indebted to the nice salesperson who spent so much time offering you such wonderful teas. Nearby, they also intentionally display tins of those same teas that are US$40-50 (expensive but still not beyond the pale). After this, you and your companions are subjected to a high-pressure sales pitch for teas that are priced in the US$100-150 range (bait with the US$40-50 tea and switch to the US$100-150 tea!). The sales pitch is clearly practiced and is targeted at the most elderly or vulnerable in your party, complete with the high-pressure sales false dichotomy of, "Would you like the highest grade for US$150, or the middle grade for US$100?", which does not leave "I don't want any tea whatsoever" as an option. The presentation makes a slick timeshare condo sales pitch look like amateur hour. The tea is overpriced by a factor of 5x to 10x, depending on where else you might shop. The same tea can be had on Amazon.com for US$15-18 (I just bought some) and even less if you just poke around Wangfujing for an hour or so. Fortunately, during the presentation, I did a quick Google search for "Imperial Tea House Scam," and multiple hits came up, enabling me to escape without any serious damage (I bought one US$40 tin of tea). Had I bought a $150 tin of tea, I would have felt swindled, and my review would probably have dropped to two or fewer stars.
The next day, over lunch, I told Nick that China Odyssey should not associate itself with unscrupulous vendors such as the Imperial Tea House, since they detract from China Odyssey's brand equity. So this message is for China Odyssey too: If your customers feel like they have been cheated on your tour. they will not return, and while you might have made a few bucks from the commission the Imperial Tea House gives you, you will lose far more if people feel swindled and post irate 1- and 2-star reviews of China Odyssey on TripAdvisor. Fortunately for you, I did not get swindled much, so I still have posted a generally favorable review, but it is only a matter of time before someone gets really mad, and market forces and reputational sanctions catch up with you!
I suspect that the Jade Factory visit that was scheduled for the second tour day (after the Great Wall) was also a scam of sorts, because I saw unfavorable reviews for that on TripAdvisor as well. Interestingly, after I told Nick what I'd figured out about the Imperial Tea House, that visit to the Jade Factory mysteriously vanished from our tour schedule!
Anyway, overall I still can recommend China Odyssey's four-day Beijing Tour, but prepare yourself psychologically and use a c-clamp to clamp your wallet shut when you visit the Imperial Tea House or the Jade Factory!

We recently finished a four day tour of Beijing with China Odyssey Tours. Everything went without a hitch (although see my review for the hotel we stayed in—would not recommend the four star route). The office staff I worked with to plan our itinerary were prompt on email and helped craft a tour that would appeal for our largish group (four adults and five children ranging in age from 5 to 16). Most importantly, our guide Steven in Beijing was amazing! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the sites we saw (kind of expected), but we learned so much from him about everything else we asked (there were two professors in our group so you can imagine the number of questions that were asked). Everyone had a fantastic time (despite the freezing cold temperatures) and I know Steven was a major reason for the success of our trip. Nothing we asked was too much trouble, and he anticipated our needs (e.g., brought Chinese candies for the kids the day we were hiking the Great Wall to keep them going for longer). He booked us into the most amazing restaurant when we said we wanted Peking Duck. And he was very flexible when our unexpected trip to Starbucks meant that the original place we were meant to have lunch would no longer be open when we arrived, requiring that he find some place new for us. Hopefully you get the point. If/when we go back to China I would definitely use China Odyssey tours.

Our recent trip to China went smoothly and thanks to China Odyssey (CO) it was so easy and stress-free. We planned our own itinerary and CO quoted it for us and then arranged everything including internal flights and travel between cities, pick up & drop off to airports and sites we wanted to see, accommodation and English speaking guides in each city who were professional, knowledgable and friendly. Amy in Beijing, Helen in Xian, Tony in Guilin & Chris in Shanghai took very good care of us and made our travel experience in each of their cities very memorable and enjoyable.
China is a beautiful country with so much interesting history. It was very exciting walking on the Great Wall and Longqing gorge and the ice lantern festival was spectacular. The terracotta warriors were amazing and we got to meet the last surviving farmer who discovered the warriors and got his autograph and a photo with him. The scenery on the Li River (Guilin and Yangshao) was awesome. Travelling at the end of winter meant it was a little colder but less crowded. We were lucky to have good weather for most of the time and it was wonderful experiencing some of the new year festivities particularly the fireworks and lantern festival in Guilin. Wow!!
It was also a really nice touch on CO's part to organise for the guide to treat us to the local specialty dish in each city. It was great to be able to ask questions and get explanations from the guides as things happened and we learned so much more about China and the places we visited.
We chose 5 star accommodation and all of the hotels we stayed at were extremely comfortable and well presented and included breakfast each day with a wide range of choice.
We have no problem in recommending CO to anyone planning on visiting China and we were very happy with the customer service we received before, during and after our holiday.

Our guides Willie, Winnie and Chris were just first class operators and made our trip to China the best. We would recommend them to be your holiday organiser. We loved our trip thanks to China Odessey we had not one thing to worry about, other then crossing those crazy Beijing Streets !

We have just returned from a holiday in Beijing. Travelling as a family of four from Australia with a teenage son with anaphylactic allergies to a number of foods, I was quite concerned as to how we would manage in China. I was also concerned about travelling in the middle of winter. I arranged our trip through China Odyssey Tours. Their slogan is "you are not alone in China" and I certainly found this to be the case. My contact person, Maggie, responded to all my requests and queries efficiently and effectively. The suggestions re itinerary and accomodation were great and our guide and driver were excellent. They went to great lengths to ensure our time was well spent and that we were safe and comfortable at all times ( this was particularly important to me in light of the food allergy issue). Despite it being very cold and reports of unfortunately high pollution, we enjoyed the snow and relative lack of people and were fortunate in that the smog cleared on the day we arrived. I would not hesitate to use China Odyssey Tours again.

How is the weather in China, guys?
Written May 12, 2019
We went to China 17-30 April because April-May is generally the best weather time. In though south though, around Guilin, its the rainy season there which made the Li River muddy for our cruise. Still, the rest of China had great weather even though the pollution and haze kept us from ever seeing deep blue sky. Still had a great time.
Written May 13, 2019
Would it be possible to have a look at your itinerary we are thinking of a similar trip. I used this company in 2014 for a fantastic trip to China. I really want to use them again but we are looking for Vietnam and Cambodia suggestions. Thank you so much , look forward to your reply.

Sorry for my late reply. They will arrange a tour to see whatever you want and you can stay as long as you want in each location. We started in Beijing, then on to Xian, then on to Guilin. We visited the Longshen Rice paddies, which I would highty recommend. That was something I requested, they didn't suggest it. Then on to Yangshuo, with a tour on the Li River, very picturesque. Then we went on our Yangtze River cruise. Although my friend traveling with me enjoyed it, I am not sure I would recommend. The scenery along the way was not that enjoyable and the tours were interesting, but I could have done without. Our last stop was Shanghai. We spent extra time there on the recommendation of some Chinese friends. We flew home from Shanghai. Odyssey recommended the Panda site, and I my Chinese friends said to skip it. Hope this helps.

How were the four star hotels on the Odyssey tour I just booked our trip with them when i look on trip advisor at the hotels they get low reviews. Any comments from past visitors please let me know . The hotels we are staying at Novotel Peace Hotel, Grand Nobel hotel Xian, Tibet Hotel Chenddu, Guilin Bravo, Green lotus hotel, Ocean Hotel
thank you

You might have already embarked on your trip. We stayed in most of those hotels and they were fine. The Novotel in Beijing is a little tired, needs to be updated. But the location was good. The other hotels were nice.

I just came back from my guided private tour with Odyssey Tours - it was great.
I suggest you do a 2 day overnight on the Great Wall. I did 2 separate day hikes and wish I would have done another. Odyssey Tours will do a great job setting up the transportation and give suggestions to the sites. I loved Jinshanling section of the wall
