China Travel Agents

“We had a great experience on a two-week tour of Japan! Firstly, our tour plan was expertly designed and encompassed many of our personal choices. The hotels and transportation choices (both private and public types) were top-notch and placed us conveniently to each tour location. Our guides were the highlight that made the trip so enjoyable, They were all friendly, energetic, and extremely helpful. They made the tour so much better by providing a local perspective. They also gave us practical suggestions for our free days so we could explore on our own with confidence. We had a great tour experience and would highly recommend this company to others.”

“This is the second time we have used Rough Guides. Last year a trip to Madagascar was brilliant in all aspects so we decided to used them again for a long trip to Malaysia and Thailand totalling over 4 weeks door to door. I created a custom itinerary which after some weeks of planning with the RG team we had a game plan. It was a private tour so expensive as holidays go but the way the RG system works one gets the chance to work with 3 different agents from 3 different local companies and one can choose levels of hotel luxury. The only downside of this was 3 times the work to do the detailed planning, after receiving the 3 proposals I discarded 2 and concentrated on fine tuning the 3rd one, with the agent who I felt was listening to my needs The actual trip was amazing and everything worked pretty seamlessly even though we were looked after by 2 local companies, one in each country.”

“We were very happy with our holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia organised through Rough Guides with Juliana from Odynovo. While arranging the itinerary we FaceTimed Juliana and sent messages to confirm preferences and ask questions. Juliana was quick to respond and action all requests. She made suggestions to give us the best experience within our budget. We started in Hanoi with Tuan as our guide - he was a fantastic guide with great insight and information about the history of northern Vietnam and how life has changed in his lifetime. Is food tour helped orientate us and inform us about traditional dishes. He also gave excellent suggestions where to eat in the evenings. He tailored our days to suit our interests and ensured we knew how to meet up with tours organised with other agencies. He was wonderful! After a luxurious overnight cruise in Halong Bay Tuan made sure we were able to catch the overnight train to Da Nang which was great fun. In Da Nang we were met by Qwac who was kind and helpful during our stay, we were able to get superb tailor made dresses and trousers on his recommendation at Blue clothing. Our driver Tuang greeted us with cold water and flannels as needed. We had booked homestay at Jackfruit and were initially disappointed to be staying next door as we had liked the look of Jackfruit. Very glad we stayed as the family were kind and we enjoyed lovely breakfasts and they helped us with laundry giving us an authentic homestay experience which is what we wanted. Kim made our stay in Saigon amazing- particularly during our day trip to the Mekong River Delta. She was fun, very knowledgeable and interesting about the history and current affairs. Kim gave good recommendations for activities in our down time, helped us negotiate tipping and was a godsend ensuring we were at the right gate for check in for our flight to Cambodia. In Cambodia we met our guide, Sun who has been incredibly attentive with our driver Mr Ya. He has not only recommended but also booked restaurants and transport in the evenings. He arranged late check out without being asked for our final day. He adapted the itinerary with our agreement to avoid being out at the hottest part of the day. Mr Ya is always ready with ice cold water and icy flannels on our return to the air-conditioned car after exploring temples. Overall we have been incredibly impressed with booking through Rough Guides - thank you so much, we are already thinking about our next trip and will certainly come back to Rough Guides.”

“We recently returned from a five-week trip through Thailand and Laos, expertly arranged with the help of Mollie, our travel advisor. From start to finish, Mollie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She showed incredible patience and professionalism as I revised our dates and itineraries several times, always offering thoughtful suggestions to improve our plans and make logistics seamless. The private guides, drivers, and accommodations she organized—through Rough Guides and Odynovo—were all first-rate. Every leg of our trip, including multiple internal flights and transfers, went off without a hitch. Mollie stayed in touch throughout our journey to ensure everything was running smoothly and that we were happy and well looked after. This was an involved trip, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how it turned out. Thanks to Mollie’s attention to detail and deep knowledge of travel in the region, we had an unforgettable experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone planning an international adventure. In fact, we’ve already asked her to help us design our next trip—this time to Vietnam! Thank you, Mollie, for a job exceptionally well done. Sonja & Jerry Greer”

“Our family just completed an unforgettable 6-day Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. The Rough Guides provided travel instructions were thorough and detailed, making navigation and daily planning easy. The accommodations chosen for us were excellent — clean, comfortable, and offering both modern amenities and authentic Japanese touches. We really appreciated the variety in style and the high standard of service across the board. This trip gave us the perfect balance of scenic hiking, culture, and relaxation. Highly recommended for any family seeking a genuine Japanese adventure!”
