March 2018

Me and Three of friends began planning our trip to India last year starting in September. In the beginning we weren’t sure how to go about this particular trip because we knew we also needed to travel within India. We had plans on visiting the Taj Mahal and also traveling to a friends hometown to attend her traditional Indian Ring Ceremony. That’s when my friend came across Odyssey Tours! The rest is history! We worked with Monica Mo who by far is the most patient person I have come across in a while. Monica listened to everything we wanted to visit along with making suggestions to places to visit and together we came up with an amazing itinerary. There was always someone there when needed! It literally was amazing how this company works. From checking in at the airlines within India to pick-ups and drop offs Odyssey had us well taken care of. We even got a call from A rep once they noticed we didn’t reach our destination at the said time (India Traffic)

December 2017

I worked with Owen Zhou to plan a 2-week, first-time trip to India for my family of five. As a busy woman with a full-time job, three children, and a husband, I was dreading the planning process because I thought it would take a lot of my time, which is already in short supply. However, Owen and Odyssey made it very simple, easy, and cost-effective. We had very specific dates that we were available and certain places that we wanted to see, so I provided that basic outline and they made arrangements for airport pickups/dropoffs/transfers, car and driver, internal flights, and English-speaking tour guides. Tickets for all sites visited were also covered, as were all breakfasts and some dinners, and a sightseeing agenda for each city. We haven't yet finished the trip, but so far, everything has been very smooth. The daily tour guides in each city have been very good, our driver has been excellent, and it's been very convenient having a private car/van for the five of us to take us wherever we need to go. Odyssey's local manager in India has checked in with us along the way, and we've enjoyed the wonderful hotels and restaurant recommendations. I would recommend Owen Zhou and Odyssey as a tour company for their high quality staff and good customer service. They were also very reasonably priced--I asked several friends to recommend tour companies for India, and Odyssey was highly competitive.

December 2017

Even though our trip has not yet started, we want to commend Don from My Odyssey Travel for the very responsive and attentive service in setting up our trip to India. From the start, Don has responded quickly to all questions, and knows the answers to any of the logistics questions we have--which are many as we plan a trip to India from North America. Don was able to guide us on setting an itinerary that was doable and efficient, and accommodated any closed days for key sites. He advised on visas and other travel arrangements, and responded to special requests for cooking and yoga classes and special arrival and departure arrangements. We are very impressed with the support from My Odyssey and will report back on the actual trip when it occurs in a few weeks.

November 2017

I had planned to take a trip to India at the end of 2017 with a friend. We had contacted several companies to submit an itinerary. The itinerary that Kyle with My Odyssey Tours submitted was by far the most interesting. He not only submitted one, but gave me two subsequent tours when I told him about our change in length of time. The tours were well described with a helpful map to understand where our travels would take us. Although we have sadly had to cancel due to health changes, I do hope to be able to rebook in the future and will definitely plan to use My Odyssey Tours as my guide.

September 2017

Odyssey Tours did a wonderful job for us in India. Hotels were top notch, tours and guides were very informative, helpful and friendly. Kyle Li did a great job organizing everything for us from the time we landed to our departure. Anand Sharma was the best driver. Drove very safely and was very accommodating to our comfort. Highly recommend them all. Loved India, the people, the culture, OUTSTANDING! Tour of India is a must for everyone. The country has a special beauty and the people are beyond words for their kindness. My fondest memories will be the aimless cows walking the streets, the horn blowing ( have to be there to understand) and drinking Indian chai. Loved it!

How Private Tour Works

Accommodation
Enjoy comfortable stay at competitive rates and with insider bonus of our partnership with international hotel chains and local ones. Most of the options are recommended based on our field inspection to ensure quality. Kindly note that hospitality service in remote area can hardly maintain the same standard as those in the city.

Meals
Meals provided will be clearly outlined in the confirmed itinerary. In most cases, breakfast is served in hotel. To make the trip go smooth, lunch is recommended to be included for set menu or a la carte, local flavor or western style, depending on your liking. Restaurants are selected according to positive feedback with your diet requirements in mind. Dinner is the time when you are free to explore the destination's hidden delights, but we are always happy to give recommendation or offer assistance. In remote area, meals are likely to be arranged in tourist restaurant or a local family due to limited options.

Tour Guide & Transfer
Every tour comes with English-speaking guides (or other languages on request) and private transfer in each city. The licensed, professional tour guides are from local and will be a friendly, knowledgeable company to travel with. When it comes to your personal driver or chauffeur guide, they are experienced and service-minded, all driving well-maintained, air-conditioned vehicles.
