We have just spent a fabulous 24 days in India on a trip organised by our consultant Lynn Liu from Odynovo. From the minute we first made contact everything went without a problem. Our guides and drivers were all fantastic, hotels superb. We were met in every place by someone from the company or an agent of theirs. We were also contacted by Lynn to make sure all was going well. I would like to thank Pankaj the manager of the Delhi office who was constantly in touch as we travelled as well as Arif, who was looking after us in Delhi. Great service... I would definitely recommend using Odynovo to organise your holiday. The best thing for our group of 6 was that we could tailor it to suit exactly what we wanted to do and pick hotels to the standard we wanted. Once again thanks Odynovo, I'm sure we will be travelling with you again soon!!

We booked last minute with Odynovo for a tour through India (10 days, Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore and Jaipur). Nikki came through and was able to book everything for us just 2 weeks before departure. They tailor made our trip since we had to accommodate 2 young boys (4 & 6). We were taken care of from airport pick up from the first day to airport drop off on the last day. We were hesitant at first to travel to India and booking last minute but it was surprisingly one of our favourite trips.

My 11 day trip to India with Odynovo was absolutely perfect and there was nothing to fault at all. The initial planning of the trip was done very well by Haley Jiang and Maple Zheng. They promptly responded to my emails and made the necessary adjustments i wanted to my trip.As the planning process was done so perfectly, I was a little nervous that the trip won't live up to those expectations. However, i was completely wrong and the trip definitely exceeded my expectations. Everywhere we went we were greeted by a staff member who assisted with airport transfers and check in at hotels. It was evident that the company had chosen the best guides to show us around this beautiful country, as they all had a comprehensive knowledge of the sights. I have to commend Dr Jeetender Singh who showed us around Jodhpur and left no stone unturned with his explanations and made us feel extremely comfortable in busy markets. Our fantastic driver Ramesh did an exceptional job of driving us around and giving us advice wherever we went. His hospitality was amazing and he always made us feel safe. The hotels chosen by Odynovo were exceptional, every single hotel was great and offered different perks. The highlight was staying at a palace in Jodhpur. The sights and experiences organised by the company were also amazing and everything was executed seamlessly. I would urge you to use this company as they take out the hassle of travel planning and provide a premium service and experience, something I couldn't have organised myself.

We’ve just finished a 16 day itinerary including Delhi, Rajasthan and Agra with a wonderful driver, Anand Sharma.
We usually are independent travellers but decided to use a company which would assist us with transport and planning. I found Odynovo through TripAdvisor after doing long searches to find a trusted and reputable company. I contacted several other Australians who’d used Odynovo and all were very positive. I contacted Don Li and it was his speedy communication which impressed. We worked with don on an itinerary we’d put together and he made suggestions and was very flexible.
We were met at Delhi airport by a rep and met our driver, Anand,
Odynovo: highly recommended if you want to travel relatively independent. We were surprised that the overall cost was very competitive compared to coach tours.
Hotels: all were 4 to 5 star standard and generally were great. The havellis and heritage accommodation especially. Do your homework about what is suggested and make recommendations to Odynovo.
Guides: we asked for local city guides and all except for one were great. Our alert driver noticed our discontent with one and quickly contacted his company. The matter was resolved very professionally. We probably overdid the number of guides but we learnt a lot.
Driver: Anand Sharma from Services International ( the contracting company in Delhi) was highly professional, caring and very conscious of our safety at all times. Amazing driving skills! We learnt so much from Anand about his life and his country which he is.very proud of.
Overall: Odynovo is a well organised and easy company to deal with. We had a wonderful driver . Perhaps we covered too much territory having gone as far as Jaisalmer and than via Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jaipur and Agra. Lots of miles covered, but fascinating. India is Ana amazing and culturally rich country. The air quality in Delhi and Agra is off putting and you’ll see sights which will challenge you but the people we have met are friendly, happy and welcoming to their country.

We did a group tour of northern India through Odynovo. From the moment we arrived in India until the time we boarded our farewell flight Odynovo made sure we were well taken care of. We received excellent service from the agents, guides, driver and the helper. The choice of hotels were also very good. Our travel agent Doris did an amazing job organizing this tour and was reaching out to us throughout the tour to make sure everything was going according to plan. I highly recommend Odynovo and our tavel agent Doris Ma. Our driver Mukesh Chaudhry and his aide Mahipal Patraj Gopal were always very attentive to our needs. They were more like family members.
Thank you for this wonderful adventure and we look forward to many more adventures together.

How Private Tour Works

Accommodation
Enjoy a comfortable stay at competitive rates and with the insider bonus of our partnership with international hotel chains and local ones. Most of the options are recommended based on our field inspections to ensure quality. Kindly note that hospitality service in remote areas cannot usually 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 the hotel. To make the trip go smoothly, 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 areas, 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 transfers in each city. The licensed, professional tour guides are 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.
