Alex took me and my friend around in Hangzhou for a day trip from Shanghai. We visited the west lake, green tea plantations, the celadon museum, and the Leifeng tower. Taylor spoke very fluent English. He also knew a lot of culture background and interesting anecdotes behind the sight seeing places. I would strongly recommend him to tour in Hangzhou.

We had a very spontaneous trip with no plan and our guide Alex was able to show us the must see sites in HangZhou such as the West Lake, the temple, Longjing tea plantation & village. He was very informative and could tell us all about an area's history and current events. The fast train ride from Shanghai to Suzhou was a great experience as well. Highly enjoyed it.

Our tour guide Bonnie picked us up at our hotel lobby and we arrived in Hangzhou via bullet train. She is very efficient and prompt as she has gotten our bullet train tickets in advance so we didn’t need to waste any time. When we arrived in Hangzhou, she brought us to our first stop to have lunch at a local restaurant which was super sumptuous! Bonnie is highly informative as she will share with us the history behind the temples and the West lake. I would definitely highly recommend to use Bonnie as your guide when you visit Hangzhou! She has made our first trip to Hangzhou memorable.

We have just arrived back in Australia today. Firstly, I would like to say we had a fantastic time with China Private Tour and would not hesitate in recommending their packages to our friends and family. Being the first time we have booked an organized trip via the internet, I must admit that I was a little apprehensive and not sure what it would be like but it was fantastic.

We had no complaints from the first day we were picked up from the airport. John our guide in Beijing was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to be with. Our driver was also fantastic, he drove safely and we felt comfortable with his driving.

Our hotels in both cities Beijing and Xian were clean and comfortable and breakfast was very good.

The service and food selection in all the restaurants throughout the tour trip were excellent and the organized shows were very good. The restaurant we liked the most was the Beijing duck dinner restaurant.

Our guides John in Beijing and Julia in Xian were fantastic. Their knowledge was outstanding and they explained everything in detail. Their English was good and we had no problem understanding them. They were fun to be with and took good care of our needs and requests. The cars were great, clean and comfortable.

We were extremely pleased with the tours we did and would not hesitate in booking another tour with China Private Tour in the future.

Our favorite guides were Sara and Jimmy. Sara taught us a lot, both historical and current information. She also went out of her way to provide some music that she enjoys since she knew I was looking for popular music while I was in China. Jimmy provided a wealth of information and made sure we all were able to pick up a few last gifts before our time in China was over, and he did this without costing us any items from our agenda. They both packed a lot of activities and fun in a short amount of time. Went above and beyond what could have been expected of them. We wish we could have had more time with Judy. She was a lot of fun and had a unique personality. Our favorite tour activities were the small boat excursion and the Tang Dynasty dinner show.

We had no problems with communicating with any of the guides. Some spoke a more Americanized version of English than others but we enjoyed the differences between the guides. We never felt that we were missing information due to a lack of communication.

We are about to have our first trip to China and after many positive recommendations, we chose Odynovo to organise our private tour. Andy Xie was the Odynovo tour organiser for us and we fully recommend him. He went above and beyond to fulfill our requests and was always prompt in replying to the many questions and changes we requested in regard to organising our trip. Andy was very polite and professional. We elected 5 star accommodation and we are extremely happy with the hotels Andy recommended for our trip. We cannot wait to begin our trip next week and going with full confidence that Odynovo and Andy will have made this a trip of a lifetime!

I have the pleasure of working with My Sam from China Private Tour in booking a trip to China. Though I have not yet embarked on this trip, I need to tell how impressive his work dedication and attention to details are. While booking our trip to China, myself and my wife had numerous questions and we bombarded Sam with many e-mails and he tirelessly answered them all to our satisfaction and he helped us a lot in developing our itinerary. One sample point about his dedication. He is very courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I have worked with numerous travel agents in the past in my life but I can say without any hesitation, Sam is absolutely the best. Based purely on my interaction with Sam, I would recommend China Private Tour to my friends and relatives.
