I'm a travel writer, and deal with a lot of tour guides. Danna was in the top 1% of those I've worked with.

November 2016

Hello. I have been doing research on SouthEast Asia and found Odyssey Tours' website. I expressed an interest in a couple of packages and received a prompt response from Mr. Bruce Peng, Odyssey Travel Consultant. I was very pleased to receive pertinent information from a dedicated and professional representative of Oddyssey. I learned a great deal about SouthEast Asia and was happy to have an enthusiastic person offer factual information while seeking to please my desire to learn about this particular area of the world. I recommend Mr. Bruce Peng to anyone seeking to travel with Odyssey in the future. Estela

Thank you Odyssey Tours and Mr Alick Peng our consultant for organising our tour of Vietnam. There was no stress involved at all. Everyday we were picked up and off on another adventure. Our biggest decision was where to have dinner each night and with so many places to choose from it was easy. Our guides in Hanoi, Hoi An, Hue and Hoi Chi Minh City were just wonderful. Mr Alick Peng organised the perfect holiday for our family of four (including two teenagers). I definitely recommend Odyssey Tours. PS I have written a longer review on trip advisor.

October 2015

I was initially nervous, organising an overseas tour with an online company, but Wanda, who handled our trip, was magnificent - always polite, responsive, and helpful. And the trip (to Vietnam, with my daughters), was everything we hoped for, and more. We had three different guides (in the north, the middle, and the south of the country), & they were all very kind and helpful, as were our drivers - we felt looked after, but not crowded. I would happily travel with Odyssey again, and have recommended them to friends enthusiastically.

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 the 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.
