First time in Zhangjiajie

I just had a wonderful vacation in Zhangjiajie, this is because of the hassle-free trip made by Rex. It was so easy booking with Asia Odyssey, Rex booked our 1-way train to ZJJ from GZ, itinerary and hotel. Our tour guide Alex and driver were very helpful and they made sure our trip was comfortable and always on time. I will surely book with Asia Odyssey again in the future.

Huangshan Landscapes and History

Asia Odyssey Travel was the first company to reply to my inquiry regarding a private 4 day tour to Huangshan. My wife and I were travelling to Chongqing and Chengdu with friends for 7 days and wanted to extend our time in China to see the famed Yellow Mountains.
I contacted AOT with a short list of places we wanted to visit, and Catherine Wang at AOT responded with an itinerary and price quote. After a little back and forth and a few tweaks, we were ready to go. I'm glad that we were able to upgrade our hotels in Huangshan City (Crowne Plaza) and on the mountain (Baiyun).
Our local guide, Gary, was knowledgeable about the history, culture, resources, economy, and everything else a tourist might ask about the places he showed us. He paced our hikes on the mountain to our ability and despite rain, showed us breathtaking landscapes. In the ancient villages of Xidi and Hongcun, we got a feel for life in the Ming and Qing dynasties and independent time to wander the back alleys where life continues in present day.
To sum up, AOT gave us a great experience from planning to pick up and departure.

TQ AOT! Amazing Trip To Beijing & Gubei Watertown

We chose AOT as we needed an English speaking guide for our family of 6. Our customised trip to Beijing & Gubei Watertown was amazing! We went in May & the crowd was not that big. We almost had the 2 Great Walls at Jinshangling & Simatai to ourselves! My special appreciation to Claire for her superb advice & patience throughout my whole planning journey. She gave good advice on the food & snacks to buy. If it wasn't for Claire, my planning journey would be a disaster! Another special appreciation to Jennifer, our caring tour guide & also our driver, Mr Cui. Jennifer was super knowledgeable about China's history & culture & she was very kind & patient with our group. She was very professional & caring throughout the trip. Her recommendations on the restaurants, food & snacks as gifts was awesome. Thank you AOT for recommending Claire & Jennifer for our trip!
