ODYNOVO - EXPERT YOU CAN TRUST

Private & Tailor-Made Tour Operator Since 1999

At Odynovo, we believe that travel is one of the ultimate joys in life.

Our Trip Styles

A trip with Odynovo allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to travel, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.

#1 Personalized Tour Itinerary

From the very beginning to the end, a 1:1 travel specialist will work with you to create a perfect itinerary exactly as you're imagining it, with a combination of our expertise. You can rely on your specialist as they know the destinations inside out and understand how things run and work closely with our local partners so they can always guide you based on the most accurate advice.

#2 Travel with Flexibility

A private and tailor-made trip ensures a journey with full flexibility. With a personal guide and transfer, you can easily escape the tour bus crowds and explore on your own terms: stop where and when you want, linger at a favorite sight a little longer, sample local dishes as you wish, and even change your plans in the destination.

#3 Expert Tour Guides

The best way to really delve into the destination is with your very own local expert. Being friendly, passionate, knowledgeable and knowing the place inside and out, they give you peace of mind so you can spend less time looking at time schedules and more time diving into the local cultures and lives that make the destination so special.

#4 Handpicked Accommodations

We want you to love your home away from home, so we carefully choose comfortable hotels with excellent style, desirable locations, and outstanding service to maximize your experience. From modern hotels to local boutiques, from starry camps to grand old riads, the choice is completely up to you - just let us know your preference, and we will find suitable options.

#5 Eat Like the Locals Eat

Whether you're visiting a foodie destination or not, eating like a local by sampling specialty foods and trying regional produce is one of the easiest ways to get a feel for a new place, its history, traditions, and customs. Thus, we include local restaurants for meals to all itineraries, whilst also leaving you plenty of time to get out and have culinary adventures of your own.

Traveling abroad can be a challenging, yet life-changing experience. As you send us a conversation and communicate with us for many days even months to plan a dreamy tour, we think we are more than a tour operator but your friends on the road. We cherish the time we shared together and whenever you need us, we are just a call away.
