“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.”

“The travel I have done to China was one of the best experiences I had in tourism. Not only for the country,, but also for the competence of the Agency, and its representative Ms Sherry and all the team of the company. In a very short period, I was able to know all touristic points I intended and very little preoccupation for me. The Hotels were very good, with good accommodations and international and Chinese breakfast. In one of the Hotels I had problems with the internet connection, but it was something I already knew could happen. The guides were very helpful, and presented me with very important information about the locals, and solved any issue possible in the travel.”

Hi, my name is Theresa and I grew up in a small town in the Austrian Alps, where mountains, lakes and forests shaped my love for nature, hiking and being outdoors. Curiosity has always driven me, and at 20 I set off to explore the world, first discovering Indonesia and later finding endless inspiration in Japan, its culture and traditions. For me, travel is all about connecting – with landscapes, with people, and, as a true foodie, with flavors that tell their own stories. Japan continues to fascinate me, and I’m excited to share that passion with you!

As an avid travel enthusiast, I plunged into the world of travel immediately after graduating from college in 2018, stepping into the role of a trip planner. Southeast Asia is my favorite region! With personal visits from time to time, I gather rich experiences for travel in the countries of Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia, and using these experiences to help travelers curate their trips to these destinations. Have you any plans to visit these destinations? Whether you're dreaming of a solo trip, a honeymoon holiday, or a local immersion, count on me to make it happen!

“This trip is my second time with Odynovo in China. As in the previous one, it was really amazing, from the planning for the trip to the end of the journey in Guangzhou. The team at Odynovo helped me determine the best travel period (to avoid the holidays) and the best places to visit. It involved Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhangjiajie, and Guangzhou in 14 days. All the places are really amazing, with a mix of historic sites and beautiful natural scenery. I want to highlight all the guides, Abby, Stella, Joyce, and Solon, who helped make this a perfect trip. All of them are very professional, helpful, and, of course, sympathetic. Besides, the choice of hotels and the internal trips by train were very well done, with no issues throughout the trip. I look forward to visiting China again with Odynovo, knowing more of this amazing country, with all the help and support from the company.”

“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 4 tour guides, Thanh, Lan, Huy and Doan were all spectacular hosts! They were all extremely knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and informative - we feel as if we also made 4 new friends on this trip! This was our first experience with a guided tour; it will not be our last. We have already recommended your company to several family and friends.

Born in Indonesia with a deep curiosity for cultures beyond my own, I've always been drawn to travel as a way to connect and understand the world. In 2023, I followed that passion to Japan, starting in Tokyo and continuing through the Kansai region and Kawaguchiko, where I discovered both its iconic highlights and hidden gems. I specialize in crafting tailor-made journeys for families and groups, with a focus on authentic history, cultural and culinary experiences across Japan. I believe every trip should feel personal, and I'm committed to creating journeys that are uniquely yours.

“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.”
