Day 1: Arrival, Hong Kong

Upon arrival in Hong Kong, your personal tour guide will greet you and take you to your hotel. During the journey from the airport to your hotel, the guide will give you a brief introduction to Hong Kong. As a prosperous Asian metropolis, Hong Kong will show you the integration of Chinese and Western culture well.

Hong Kong

Day 2: Hong Kong, Free Day

With a well-developed public transport system and the popularity of English, Hong Kong is an ideal place for you to do some light adventure on your own. So today is free for you to enjoy the beautiful scenery at your own pace. You could just stroll around Kowloon area, spend a half day at some foodie streets and shopping malls; or take a taxi or subway to Hong Kong Island to enjoy a relaxing walking along the Garden Road where culturally significant buildings abound.

Enjoy a special morning with endearing pandas at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base. The pandas are usually more active from 8:00 am to 10:00 am, so we suggest a departure time of around 8:00 am. At the panda base, you will have the chance to see the pandas enjoy breakfast, visit the baby panda's room and the Panda Museum, and watch a short movie about pandas.

Second Honeymoon My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary by spending a few weeks touring around Asia. We loved how Odynovo worked with us to craft a tour of what we wanted to see and how we wanted to see it. This was our first time traveling with a private tour guide, and it was truly amazing. they took care of all transportation, tickets, and everywhere we went we had someone who not only spoke our language, but was also very well-versed in the places we were visiting. We saw Beijing and then took a bullet train to Xi'an. In both cities we had tour guides who had done this "a thousand times," and as a result knew all the tricks on where to take the best pictures, what lines to stand in, where to eat, and what not to waste your time seeing. At one point our guide pulled out ponchos from her backpack when it started to rain, while another helped us haggle for a good price on a new suitcase. We were surprised by how much we loved China, and it is safe to say that is because of the quality of service we got from Odynovo. Oh, and the hotels were great, too! In our first hotel my wife fell in love with her breakfast soup that she had to have every morning, while in Xi'an we were right around the corner from the Muslim Night Market and were able to get to it in less than 5 minutes of walking.We are already looking to see what tours we will be doing next through Odynovo, as the service was amazing, the quality was remarkable, and the cost was very worth it for what we received.

Fabulous! We had a fabulous experience with our guide and Odynovo walking the Great Wall of China, and all other sites in Beijing. We loved our Peking duck dinner. It was fabulous. Thank you, Sammie/Jing for a great experience.

Amazing travel experience My name is Zarah M. Babangida a Nigerian and i visited Beijing with my colleagues from the office. During our 5 day stay in Beijing, Ms. Eva Ma, was our Tour guide and from the minute we came through the Arrival Gate of the Airport, we were embraced by her alluring smile and warm welcome. She remained consistent with her warmth, a kind and intelligent professional who exuded unique passion not just for her job as a tour guide but, even more so as a proud Chinese woman. Her outstanding insight and knowledge of the sweet Chinese history and heritage left us in awe. I couldn't be more proud and thankful that she was assigned to our group and she made our stay exciting, fun-filled effortless and knowledge packed. I absolutely commend her dedication to work which she depicted throughout our stay. I recommend her to every visiting tourist because to know Eva, is to love her. If it were up to me, i will increase her bonuses or upgrade her salary as i am sure most tourists would want or revisit for her sake first and then perhaps other reasons.Thank you Eva and keep the passion up🙌.
