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.

Nikki did a fantastic job of organizing our Vietnam trip, which included Hanoi, Hoi An, Halong Bay and HCM City. She always responded promptly to our questions and requests in a friendly manner and gave excellent advice on hotels and itineraries. She was also flexible and adapted to any requests to customize our travels. We were so satisfied that we are planning to book another trip with her next year.

We have just got home from spending 2 weeks in the wonderful country of Vietnam. Went from South to North and also the Central area. I would say this has been the best holiday I have ever done and it is thanks to the team at Odynova from Eric Kong for sorting out all our Tours, to our guide Mr Liem looking after us in Ho Chi Minh City, Miss Be looking after us in Hue and Hoi An and Mr Duong taking care of us in Hanoi/Halong Bay. All the tours were perfect with the Guides having such great knowledge and history of all the beautiful places we were brought to. The only problem we had is we didn't have longer in this fantastic country. Thanks once again to all our guides and Mr Kong for all there help for making our holiday one to never forget.

Excellent. Vincent provided a quote and itinary within 24 hours. The guide was very knowledgeable and the driver smooth and curtious open my door at every stop. We used Odynovo for our China tour a few years ago and had no hesitation using them for the short Vietnam tour this time. Thorough recomend and much better value than quotes I received from Australian based companies.

We are a family of five and Laura Li of Odynovo , did a great job in helping us put a tour of Hanoi, Hoi An and finally Ho Chi Mihn City with us having a dedicated tour guide. We enjoyed Hanoi , loved Halong Bay and then went to Ho Chi Mihn. We don't normally use a tour guide but we wanted to cover alot in 2 weeks. All the Odynovo guides were very good but when we arrived in Ho Chi Mihn we met Victor who really is exceptional. With Victor we went to the Cu Chi Tunnels , the Mekong and the war museum in Ho Chi Mihn and he brought each to life, with a great wit to go with it, which isn't easy to do with 3 teenage daughters and held them enthralled over a few days. Definitely the person to request if touring Ho Chi Mihn and its surrounds. In Hanoi the Hanoi Hilton is well worth seeing.In Ho Chi Mihn , Laura Li had booked us into the Alagon Zen Hotel which was in a great location near a large market (250m) and also a backpacking foodmarket, (100m) which were excellent experiences for our teenagers and the hotel itself was very good with a great rooftop pool and bar.I'd definitely use Odynovo and especially Victor again.
