  We have had the trip of a lifetime. Thanks to a superb itinerary crafted to our wishes by Wanda. Nothing was too much trouble and everything went like clockwork. We are now experts on Shinkansen trains!! The guides we had during the trip were prompt knowledgeable and obviously they enjoy sharing the delights of Japan. Thank you everyone for all your hard work.

  We are a family of 4 and traveled with Odynovo to Japan last November. It's an incredible and unforgettable Journey! The entire trip was well-organized, and every detail was carefully taken care of. Our guide was professional and knowledgeable, sharing interesting cultural and historical insights while also being flexible to accommodate our needs. The transportation, hotels, and dining arrangements were all beyond our expectations. We will definitely recommend Odynovo to our friends and use it again for our upcoming trip!

  Our tour experience was mostly great, Jake was very helpful when we had to make changes to the itinerary due to time and budget. However I did not realize reading the itinerary how independent we would actually end up being. Independance on a trip is not a bad thing and we had scheduled days without guides that were still fun and fulfilling. We had day guides scheduled in the cities, and some tickets for trains we had to catch, but for everything in between, it was very vague and overwhelming to be on our own. Our guides helped where they could, providing maps and advice, but at the end of the day, we were alone hauling our luggage through confusing train stations while on multiple time crunches, or alone in a new city figuring out how to get to our hotels. Reading the itinerary we were under the impression that our guides would be with us for longer and provide more actual guidance when it came to travelling. This is not to knock our guides, they were wonderful friendly people, but they also seemed genuinely concerned about our situation. If we were seasoned travelers, things may have been different, but it was our first time in Japan. It's not like we expected someone to be there the entire time holding our hands on every single train, but we were definitely anticipating a little more help. We ended up figuring things out obviously, only missing a few trains here and there, but I can't quite put into words the feeling of stress and anxiety upon realizing how alone we were actually going to be in navigating the country. While on a schedule. Again, the things we got to do were very cool, our hotels were very nice, and our guides were great when we had them. But the pervasive stress of travel within and between cities was all encompassing.
