My husband and I booked our trip to Thailand with Odynovo, Nikki made booking the trip so easy. She gave us a very detailed itinerary and was so accommodating to our needs. Our itinerary hit everything we wanted to do and then some!

Thailand is truly amazing and so is Cathy at Odynovo, Being able to contact her directly via social media made any changes to the itinerary instant and trouble free. She really is a gem. The guide spoke fluent English and always had an answer for all our curious questions, the driver too was exceptional, at one stage he received a fine because two of us were not wearing seat belts and he did not ask to be reimbursed. The people in Thailand are the most friendly, sincere and happy.

We think that we hit the jackpot with our tours with Lucky in Bangkok. Now that we are in Chiang Mai, we now have the ability to make comparisons. We have also never taken part of an organized tour/booking company before.

Lucky is amazing. She cares for you and also does a phenomenal job of reading you. Are you tired? Too hot? Kids not having fun? She observes all of this and tailors your experience without saying anything (other than making sure it is ok with you).

She is also very candid and will give you a real look into Thailand. I was honestly skeptical whether I would enjoy this, as I’m always a ‘do it yourself’ traveler, but I’m converted. Ask for Lucky if you can!

Eric Kong booked my 1 day tour and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. I told him what I was looking to do/see and he planned it out to the last detail. He was even receptive to some ideas that I had read about and wanted to incorporate. The guide he booked us with, Honey Bee, was knowledgeable and friendly and a great on site representative for the company. I will definitely use Eric to book my next Asian tour.

Allison has been very helpful in putting together our travel itinerary to Thailand and answering questions in timely manner. Very flexible with food allergy request so we're looking forward to how this will be accommodated on our actual trip. I requested a stop by to get local speciality food in Ayutthaya that was not part of the schedule and I am told that this can be arranged. I like the flexibility that this tour offers to customize to your needs( within reasonable terms). Our first trip to Thailand and so far the planning part with Allison has been great. Thank you.

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.
