Our exploration of El Nido's natural wonders left me in awe. The towering limestone cliffs, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and hidden lagoons were nothing short of breathtaking. The island-hopping tours took us to enchanting spots such as Secret Lagoon, Big Lagoon, and Shimizu Island.

The journey continued to Coron, a paradise known for its vibrant marine ecosystems and captivating dive sites. The group tour included visits to iconic destinations such as Kayangan Lake, shipwreck, Green Lagoon, and beaches. If you're seeking an exhilarating journey filled with natural beauty, thrilling activities, just come like us, lot of fun.

The cruise operates from Yichang to Chongqing (Upstream) over 4 nights / 5 days and from Chongqing to Yichang (Downstream) over 3 nights / 4 days. I recommend the upstream trip, being more leisurely. We took the Yangtze Gold 8, a reasonably well-appointed new 4-star ship. The cruise-staff is very welcoming and eager, comprising of pretty Chinese girls and young men. The cabins and bathrooms are spacious by naval standards. An optional excursion to the Ship Lift is an absolute must. TTGD is the real hero of the whole cruise. Besides this man-made monstrosity, the rest of the cruise is all about taking in the beautiful scenery the Yangtze traverses. The food is a good spread unless you are a vegetarian and can stomach broccoli, carrots and tofu, all boiled and watery. Carry ear-defenders.

I had searched for a long time for a private sightseeing tour for 5 of us from England to tour around Beijing in 4 days. Shirley from Asia Odyssey Travel had very responsive on whatsapp helping me with my questions from designing the agenda to pre trip visa questions & Wechat payment set-up. All the agenda and pricing was very clear and Shirley was also able to provide us with the letter of invitations. Annie our Beijing Tour Guide and our driver took care of us from the minute we landed at Beijing Airport to seeing us off. Annie had good suggestions where to go and our driver was always on time and the car was very clean. Annie is an experienced tour guide and speaks good English. She even provided us with Wifi while we were touring around with her. would definitely recommend them.

Had the time of my life. Planning with super easy and direct with them. They even help to make suggestions to my trip that made it better than I had initially planned. Max, our tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and ensure our group was well taken care of. Thank you

Shirley was my liaison and was patient in answering my questions and offered suggestions. Delivered all that I wanted. My Beijing guide William was great! Very good English and was very knowledgeable, sharing with us the history of Beijing heritage and culture. Very enjoyable! My guide in Shenyang and Harbin, Emily was also very nice and looked out for my family, as I have an elderly. Special thanks to my Shenyang driver too - one of the best drivers I met in ages! Good drive and very cheerful/careful. Overall, I'm impressed! Thanks for a great time.

The itinerary was a well-planned 12 days trip from Shanghai to Xining then Lhasa (Tibet).

Our guide, Lobsang Dorje, has been wonderful. He is always available (punctual & responsive on weChat) and ready to go the extra mile accommodating to our dietary (vegetarian) and sanitary demands in Tibet. We are beyond grateful to have him as our guide.

Special thanks to our agent, Shirley, in making this trip possible to planning out the details for our trip e.g., itinerary, accommodation and transportation. We manage to visit all the itinerary that was planned out including Everest Base Camp with additional stopover for sightseeing.

All-in-all, we believe that the full cultural experience in Tibet could not been achieved without an experienced guide (Lobsang Dorje) and agent (Shirley). We are well satisfied the level of service that was provided by the guide and agency.
