Two week China Train Tour

We went to China for a two week train visit of four places - Shanghai, Huangshan, Xian and Beijing. Amazing !!! The tour was coordinated by Asia Odyssey Travel. Our tours were coordinated remotely by our very proficient and helpful agent, Nicole. She arranged our hotels, train tickets to travel between locations, and a guide with driver in each location. The connection with a local guide made our holiday experience both informative and much more personal. Nicole was responsive to our questions and concerns. She facilitated the purchase of train tickets and booking of hotels which would have been very difficult on our own (we don’t speak Mandarin, and it is hard to arrange financial transactions in China without WeChat Pay or Alipay). We were joined up with different travellers in each location - and enjoyed sharing our experience with them. Thank you very much Nicole (tour coordinator), and all of our guides (Maria, Lacie, Lee and Mark) for making our China visit an exceptional one. John and Larissa

Wonderful Yunnan experience

It was my first time on a private tour. I usually plan everything on my own, so initially, I was a bit worried that having a guide all the time would be awkward. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, we discussed everything and had the entire trip tailored to our preferences. The agent (Nicole) was responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved all our tour guides, but especially Anna with whom we spent 4 days in Shangrila. Everyone (guides and drivers) was professional, always on time, caring, knowledgeable, and easy-going. My partner and I learnt so much about culture, people, customs. I would definitely recommend this travel agency.
