"We are never satisfied until you come back and travel with us again" - Wendy Wu, Founder & Chairwoman

At Wendy Wu Tours, we want to know what you think about the service you receive when you book with us and what you thought about your tour itself. It's this vital information that helps us to improve in the future.

With this in mind, we have teamed up with independent review company feefo. Once you have made a booking or returned from one of our tours, you'll receive an email from feefo asking you to rate your experience with us.

We then display these reviews right here, completely untouched by us, so you can trust them 100%.

We were humbled to receive so much positive feedback from clients affected by the onset of the Coronavirus crisis. We hope the positive experience of customers, who still managed to enjoy their tours even as the pandemic hit, shows how wonderful your experience will be once we all get travelling again.



We also have more fantastic reviews from around the globe on TripAdvisor, including many 5 star!

Ancient China

Tuesday 28 May 2024
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Excellent
This holiday is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for travelers who want to see more of the interesting ancient stuff that China has to offer.
The itinerary gives an interesting mixture of the well known sights (in or near the big towns) and almost unknown sights near small towns in between.
Long distances were traveled by Bullet Train (far nicer than internal flights) - these were organised impeccably, as were the smaller distances traveled by coach.
The tour manager (Lisa) was amazing, cheerful, friendly & informative and really went the extra mile to ensure things went smoothly for us. The local guides were all, likewise, cheerful, friendly & informative and experts in their locality and the sights we would be seeing. At no point was language / comprehension a problem.
Food was good, all the way through, and frequently excellent.
Hotels were usually very good / excellent while one or two were included to give a period experience - I enjoyed them all.

First time using Wendy Wu and didn’t know what to…. They turned out to be brilliant and exceeded all expectations. National guide couldn’t do enough for us.

This was the holiday of a lifetime and proved to be excellent value. Everything was perfectly planned and managed by Wendy Wu Tours, from booking onwards. The schedule was jam-packed and we were able to see so many different aspects of China and its long history, accompanied by local guides in each main region who put our experiences in context for us, and our national guide who was with us from start to finish and became a valued friend. I was truly sad to leave this wonderful country.

Nothing can prepare you for the immensity of the Terracotta Warriors display near Xi'an.
Our evening river cruise in Shanghai was unforgettable.

Website booking failed multiple times on flight page. Phone line booking went well but would have liked to have seen the choice of flights. I was not asked some questions that were available on website. Still waiting purchase confirmation.

Our Response

Very well organised tour. David, our national tour guide was exceptional, very good English and extremely knowledgable. He had the patience of a saint trying to herd 27 people on the tour.

Unfortunately there were more things I didn’t like..
The food was very poor - we were served the same ‘tourist menu’ at every meal time which was extremely bland and poor quality. Ie processed meats when meat was in the dish or very fatty meat. Despite raising our concerns, asking for fewer dishes but better quality food, we were told the budget didn’t run to the type of food we asked for (bearing in mind spring rolls were classed as a la carte!)
By the end of the tour we were trying to eat on our own as we were hardly eating anything. We had to write a note and sign it to say we wouldnt claim a refund...
this trip wasn’t cheap (just under £7000] so to be honest, I did expect better food..

The tour was ‘full on’, which was good to help you see many things on the trip. However, there should have been more time allowed for you to be able to have free time to explore areas yourself. Half day tours would be perfect for some days.

The tour group was too large. With 27 people we were forever waiting for individuals who were late meeting back at the appointed destination. We spent sooo much time waiting for others.

Overall it was disappointing. No-one can fault the sightseeing in China - but it’s what goes with it that makes the holiday.

Our Response

We are sorry to hear you were disappointed with some of the aspects of your tour.


Please kindly contact our Customer Service Team, as we would really like the opportunity to investigate this for you.

From our initial engagement with Liz, we were provided with excellent personal service. When I had queries people always rang us back (notwithstanding we do not live in the UK) Our National Tour Manager (Mark) was amazing and we could not have asked for better, he made an amazing holiday experience even better.
Only developmental point was at the beginning I had asked for my tickets to be emailed and they weren't, they did not ahead of our leaving Spain for the UK to start the tour; however when I pointed this out the tickets were emailed by return.

Product :

AS well as seeing the regular sights (Forbidden City/ Great Wall/ Terracotta Warriors) we saw some sights that many westerners would not see; almost all were fantastic and a privilege to see. As feedback I could have lived without the Yellow River experience and perhaps had another day in Shanghai visiting Suzhou, perhaps more in line with the Ancient China theme

Our Response

Thanks for your lovely comments! We're sorry if you had some difficulty with your tickets, but are glad to hear we were able to resolve it for you. We really appreciate all feedback as it helps us to monitor and improve our services, and will be sure to pass your compliments over to those you mentioned.
