I had a fantastic experience with Asia…

I had a fantastic experience with Asia Odyssey Travel! From the start, Rex provided clear and detailed information about the trip and all its requirements, making the planning process seamless.

highlight of my journey, however, was the exceptional service provided by our tour guide, Puntsok. His deep knowledge, care, and kindness made the trip unforgettable. When I fell sick, Puntsok not only helped me but also generously paid for all my medical expenses without hesitation. His compassion and selflessness truly restored my faith in humanity.

Additionally, our driver, Teswang, was outstanding. He drove tirelessly and safely throughout the trip, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey for everyone.

A big thank you to Rex, Puntsok, and Teswang for making this an amazing and memorable experience. Highly recommend Asia Odyssey Travel!

Excellent 28-Day China Tour Experience

Thank you Asia Odyssey Travel for our wonderful month long holiday!

Special thanks to our travel consultant, Rex, for the well planned itinerary that covered Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huanshan, Xian, Huashan, Tibet and Zhangjiajie for our party of five. It was very well paced, fun-filled, packed with interesting activities and was reasonably priced too!

Travel between different places were well coordinated and seamless. We never had a moment where we had to worry at all.

All the tour guides were knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. Well done!!

A special mention goes to Rex, our travel consultant and Abbie, our Zhangjiajie tour guide for handling an emergency well.

My husband felt unwell on the day of arrival at the Zhangjiajie Airport. He was immediately driven to a hospital A&E and the rest were driven to the hotel to rest.

At the hospital, Abbie ensured smooth registration and accompanied my husband and me during the doctor's consultation and the entire 8 hours treatment until my husband was discharged at night. Abbie was very patient and comforting throughout.

Rex, who was in another province, also followed up closely by calling us personally to keep in touch with the situation. We knew we were in good hands definitely! Our itinerary was also unaffected due to the hospital stay, as Rex and Abbie were quick to make adjustments to fit our travel plans nicely into the next two days' schedule. Our overall holiday was made very memorable and wonderful, thanks to Asia Odyssey Travel for their excellent service and planning.

Best Regards,

Carol Wee
