Charles exploring mountains

Hello, I'm Charles. Prior to my 5+ years as a travel consultant at Asia Odyssey Travel, I studied Business English at Sichuan University in the hometown of Giant Panda, and traveled to over 10 countries (like Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia) and 60 cities in China. My passion has always been in Sino-foreign exchange and assisting international tourists, and that passion still burns brightly.

I'm dedicated to making your trip exceptional. I love sharing insights about everything from Tang Dynasty poetry to Cantonese dining culture. This is my initial motivation and my interests, and I always keep learning and sharing.

I care deeply about details and feelings. When things don't go as planned, I find solutions and handle special requests like food allergies. I always keep a close eye on your experience to ensure a trip that's full of surprises and completely relaxing! Let’s create stories together!

Just before the 2024 Chinese New Year, a large Romanian family of 30 kicked off a seven-day tour in Hong Kong. Their ages ranged from 5 to 70, and I immediately knew I'd have to juggle the needs of various age groups throughout the trip. [2552] On the third day, things were going smoothly until I re...

"We don't want the usual...... We want to meet Tibet in depth." In September 2023, I received two American couples who were curious about Tibet and wanted to spend 10 days getting to know Tibet like the locals, focusing on not going around the traditional tourist routes, they were looking forward to...

I had an amazing experience with Asia Odyssey Tours! My travel consultant, Charles, was incredibly efficient and professional. Planning a multi-country trip (Nepal, China, Bhutan) can be complicated, but he handled everything smoothly, including securing necessary visas/permits and adjusting my itinerary when needed.

Charles was a quick and clear communicator, always making sure things went as planned. The local guides in each country were knowledgeable and friendly, making my trip even more enjoyable. (Note that most were third-party so not directly associated with AD). The hotels were clean, comfortable, and well-located.

Initially, I never heard of Asia Odyssey so I was reluctant or cautious, but after this trip I would totally consider them again.

We booked a 15 day group tour from Beijing to Shanghai followed by a 4 day private tour to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Charles was our consultant from AOT. He handled everything from the initial requests and bookings and also kept contact throughout the trip via WeChat. Everything went like clockwork. We had a fantastic time in China filled with new experiences. I highly recommend AOT and expect to book with them on my next visit to China.

I had a great experience my tour in Tibet. I started to contact Asia Odyssey Travel six months prior to the tour. The representative Charles helped me with questions and the trip planning. He was thorough and responsive. Very helpful during my tour planning phase.

During our tour, our group was fortunate to get a very good guide Peter. Peter is a native Tibetan who speaks fluent English,Chinese and very knowledgeable about Tibetan Buddhism. In addition to that, he took good care of us. And we got an excellent driver as well. I had an excellent experience with the company and enjoyed the trip.

Definitely recommend the company.

I recently did a trip to Beijing for a week. Although I was only there for a short time Colin, showed me such a good time going to the temples and enjoying the great food. Between him and Charles who I spoke to organising the trip to Beijing everything was awesome. Thanks so much!!
