I was planning a tour of Vietnam for a group of 12 people and was referred to Alick Peng by a colleague. And I am grateful to have worked with Alick who was consistently responsive and professional as we worked through some modifications and special requests. We traveled to a number of places, using bus and planes and Alick had arranged everything for us. Our guides were attentive and informative, collecting us at the various locations and actually delivering us to the airport check in counter at the end of our trip (even though it was 6 am !!)I would highly recommend Alick Peng plan your next visit to the Asia area. You will not be disappointed.

We had a fantastic experience with Odynovo Tours. We started in Hanoi with our excellent and enthusiastic guide Thong who showed us the city highlights and Ha Long Bay. In Hoi An we had another excellent guide Ahn who took us an eco tour to a farming and fishing family. In Ho Chi Minh we had another fabulous and knowledgeable guide, Leo. We had safe and superb drivers at all three stops. The experience was wonderful and I highly recommend this outfitter and these specific guides.

We had a wonderful trip planned for us by Gina. Our guide in Hanoi Trinh was a great introduction to Vietnam. She gave us lots of ideas and was extremely helpful in arranging a driver when the cruise ship to Hoi lan forgot to pick us up. In Hoi An we met the bubbly Linh she was delightful showed us around the old city and telling us about its history. In Ho Chi Min city we were picked up by young Leo another well spoken delightful guide. He took us on a tour of the Tunnels where we enjoyed the sights and sounds of the jungle war. Leo was brilliant. I lost my camera and he found it. All the guides were helpful. They had great stories and could joke and laugh with us. Just what we wanted . Local guides with local knowledge who could problem solve quickly and efficiently. Thank you all for a wonderful guided tour.

Thanks to Leo, we had the most wonderful holiday in Vietnam. We gave him an idea of which places we’d like to go and the kinds of things we like to do and he made it work for us. We had great guides and a wide variety of experiences. We loved the people, the food and the history. So many beautiful places and such a rich history. We will definitely go back someday, and most likely will use Odynovo’s services again.
