Asia Odyssey Travel Customer Reviews

We recently returned from a Yangtze cruise on the new Century Glory ship. All of our arrangements were made by Vivien Li from China Discovery. We corresponded by email with Vivien. She was wonderful and gave us great advice.
The ship has only been in service for a few weeks. The crew went beyond our expectations to help us in English. The ship is very pretty. The nightly entertainment was produced by the crew members and they were very good. We enjoyed the optional tour to the ghost city.
 

The Century Voyage was pure luxury! From the moment I stepped onboard, I was impressed by the attention to detail. The cabins were spacious, beautifully designed, and had amazing river views. The staff was exceptional—always helpful, professional, and fluent in English, which made communication so easy. Shoutout to Asia Odyssey Travel for suggesting this brand-new cruise — it was the perfect way to experience the Yangtze!

We enjoyed a Henan tour with an incredible blend of history, culture, and martial arts. Day 1 covered the stunning Longmen Grottoes and White Horse Temple. Day 2 was all about the Shaolin Temple, where we saw the Pagoda Forest and enjoyed a thrilling Kung Fu performance. Day 3 included a Kung Fu training session, which was immersive and fun. This tour is perfect for a deep dive into Henan’s treasures!

I loved every moment onboard the Century Voyage! The facilities are top-notch—modern, elegant, and designed for comfort. The dining experience was a highlight; the food was delicious, with both local Chinese dishes and international options. Plus, it’s all included in the price! The onboard activities were fun and engaging, from cultural performances to relaxing yoga sessions. Asia Odyssey Travel recommended this cruise, and they really nailed it. Everything felt so polished and well-organized.

The 1-day Luoyang and Shaolin Temple tour was fantastic! We started with the Longmen Grottoes, an awe-inspiring UNESCO site, followed by a visit to the Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of Kung Fu and Zen Buddhism. The Kung Fu performance was a highlight, showcasing incredible skills. It was a well-organized, enriching experience. Perfect for those with limited time but wanting to see the best of Henan. Highly recommend!

Booking through Asia Odyssey Travel made everything so easy! The entire trip on the Century Voyage was seamless and stress-free. The all-inclusive pricing was a huge plus—no surprise charges, just pure relaxation. The ship itself is stunning, with luxurious interiors and spacious cabins that felt like a high-end hotel room. The staff was super friendly and spoke great English, which made everything more comfortable.
 

First time in Harbin for my wife and 5-year-old son, and we had an amazing tour with Catherine. Catherine really knows Harbin inside and out, sharing lots of interesting history and making the tour super informative.
Catherine were incredibly patient and always kept the car warm for us, which was a lifesaver in the freezing weather! The tour itself was so convenient, and Catherine was very helpful and patient, always catering to our needs.
The main attractions we visited were the Ice and Snow Festival, the Snow Fair, and the Siberian Tiger Park—all incredible experiences. I’d highly recommend this private tour to anyone visiting Harbin, especially if you don’t speak the language. It’ll save you so much time and effort. Even if you do speak Chinese, taking this private tour will make your trip truly worthwhile and memorable!

As part of the larger China tour we boarded the Yangtze Explorer at Yichang for a 4 night cruise to Chongqing. Note: it is a ca. 2 hour journey from Yichang airport to the port and the reverse cruise journey is 3 nights.
 
The service was excellent. I’m almost not exaggerating that if you dropped your napkin they would catch it before it hits the floor. A special mention for our waiter, Alan in this regard.
 
Wine is plentiful at meals so unless you’re planning a late night I wouldn’t bother with a drinks package.
 
Overall a lovely journey and a very well run ship. Credit to ship manager Teddy for that who was always on hand to mix with guests.

We booked a three-day tour with Asia Odyssey Travel, and it was such a great experience! In the freezing cold weather of northeast China, having someone to arrange everything for you is a must. They made our trip so easy and enjoyable.
The only challenge for us was adjusting to the cold, coming from Australia, where it’s 40 degrees in summer! But Asia Odyssey Travel took care of all the details, so we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. We also booked their airport pick-up and drop-off service, which was super convenient and smooth.
I highly recommend Asia Odyssey Travel to anyone planning a trip to Harbin—they truly made our winter adventure unforgettable!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on our Victoria Sabrina Cruise Ship! Glidding along the river we saw beautiful scenery by day and cities lit up at night. Being in the Three Gorges area was spectacular! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was quite small, but we adjusted to its size quickly.
