From the moment we met our group and our guide “Stone” I knew our first China experience was gonna be exciting and fun and it certainly lived up to expectations
The “Stone family”made this holiday working as one unit making sure no one’s left behind on the fast pace itinerary which included Shanghai, Ciqikou, Chengdu, Xian, Beijing

There is so much to see and do on this China experience there is not enough room on this page
If you want to experience China, this is the trip for you
A big thank you to Stone our guide and our local guides and to Wendy Wu for making this the best holiday for us

Value for money. Excellent tour. Really full itinerary and extremely well looked after. We had an amazing tour guide known as Eddie Lau, he looked after us so, so well. Everything was so well organised and efficient. We were fed well and went to all sorts of places. The hotels were of good quality. Would use Wendy Wu again.

Really good and well organised tour. From the moment you arrived, with someone waiting for you, to the point you were returning home, somebody was there to walk you through process to get you checked in. "Frank" the tour guide was very, very good. Very knowledgeable, always approachable, and very helpful.
The places of interests on the tour were well chosen. Hotels chosen were clean and modern, with the staff very friendly...no complaints at all.
Traffic in Shanghai and Beijing at times was heavy, (even from somebody comes from London), but that's obviously out of Wendy Wu's control.
Would definitely recommend Wendy Wu, and this tour. Go for it.

From the get go Wendy Wu’s has been great throughout with their comms and amazing team of staff. As for our trip we can’t fault it as it was effectively seamless and the guides were just amazing. The food, the excursions and shows were all brilliant and overall China 🇨🇳 just kept giving. I would highly recommend o anyone and you can’t go wrong going with an open mind.

Just got back from an amazing tour of China . We booked China Delights and were so lucky to have David as our guide . From the moment we met him at the hotel until the day we left he was absolutely wonderful . He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was the holiday of a lifetime . We saw so much of China and covered such vast ground. His English was impeccable. Our hotels were lovely , everything we saw was breathtaking. Each day just kept getting better and better. Thank you Wendy Wu for making my dream of seeing China come true and thank you David for being such a wonderful and caring guide and sharing your beautiful country with us .

We had a fantastic time. Our tour guide was superb, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and humorous.
The hotels were excellent and so was all the food.
We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who has not been to China.

Very extensive, well planned, but exhausting tour. Little or no free time.
Up at 06:00 to 07:00 back to hotel ~ 20:00 to 21:00.

Great guide David, caring, conscientious & kind, nothing was too much trouble for him.

Would have preferred to visit Shanghai's colonial era streets than cross the river to the newly developed area.

Boat tour in Wuzhen would have been more interesting than in Suzhou

I'd have been happier had our tour ended in Xian

High points
1 Evening tour of Xian city centre, full of life, festive lights everywhere, older people dancing on a wide pavement, we all joined in, young singers busking, such a joyous atmosphere.

2 Three great shows,

3 Great Chinese cuisine throughout

4 Jinling Shihu Garden Hotel, Suzhou - beautiful hotel

Low points
1 Beijing first day, thousands queueing in 35°C heat to enter Tiananmen Square, a horror show ! two separate securety passport checks then a further face scan before we could enter. Could hardly see the square for people, who went on mass to the Forbidden City where the crush was even worse - an exhausting, utter waste of time. We'd have been better off looking at a move tracing the history with aerial photos etc in air conditioned comfort. A tour of the cities shopping or embassy area would
have been more interresting & enjoyable

2 Hotels in new high tech areas Chengdu & Beijing, remote from
city centres. Dull surroundings, not that we had much time to explore

3 Dinner at "Irish Pub" in Guilin. Very poor quality food compared with excellent Chinese cuisine throughout. To be avoided.

4 Waterfall Hotel in Guilin - only two functioning lifts for 33 stories. Very stressfull mornings not knowing when a lift would arrive & when one did
if there would be room to get into it. Otherwise a fine hotel, well located.

I think that's enough to be going on with !

I enjoyed it fully

This was our first trip with Wendy Wu tours and it’s worth every penny.

They did everything they could to make this tour as memorable as possible, from personal pick up and drop off at the airports, arranging all the best sights, transport, food, knowledgeable local tour guides and just making sure that every single minute was a pleasure.

We started in Shanghai, then flew to Xian and finally took the bullet train to Beijing before coming back to the Uk via Hong Kong.

All credit to Louis, our hugely knowledgeable tour guide, photographer, interpreter and nanny. His hard work made this tour run like clockwork and we always felt safe and looked after where ever we went.

Go to China, the people are friendly, welcoming and they truly love their country and it’s amazing history.

Process was easy from start to finish we were well looked after on the tour from start to finish

The tour of China was amazing. It was full gas from the get go and the various local guides really enhanced the experience. The pandas were a highlight along with our walk on the wall. Would definitely recommend this Wendy Wu tour. IThe organisation of pick ups and transfers etc was faultless.

An absolutely wonderful holiday from start to finish. Felt safe, well cared for, comfortable and everything was though of. The guide, Raymond was outstanding. Knowledgeable, helpful and friendly with fantastic English. Could not have asked for more. The country and the excursions were well planned and great fun. Highly recommended!

Well organised, packed in a lot in 14 days.
All of the trips , hotels and travel delivered on what was promised in the brochure - nothing was a disappointment.

National guide Raymond was wonderful - friendly, knowledgeable, informative, flexible and bent over backwards to make sure that each member of the party had a fantastic trip - can't praise him highly enough.

Incredible First Tour Experience – Highly Recommend Wendy Wu!

I called Wendy Wu office to book directly was very easy and quick. All my questions answered.

I joined the Wendy Wu tour of China from 9 May to 19 May, I added 2 extra days in Beijing which I was pleased as had free time to get over travelling. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first tour experience!

From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceptionally well organized. Our main tour guide, Susan, was absolutely fantastic—so caring, knowledgeable, and efficient. We were also lucky to have amazing local guides: in Beijing and Chengdu, who added local insight and personality to the trip.

We had a small group of just 13 people, which made the experience feel more personal, relaxed, and enjoyable.

Our itinerary included:
• 3 days in Beijing, where we visited iconic sites such as Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace
• 1 day in Xi’an, featuring the unforgettable Terracotta Warriors and a stay in a fantastic hotel
• 3 days in Chengdu, home of the adorable giant pandas and vibrant local culture

We traveled between cities on two high-speed bullet trains, which were smooth and efficient. I also received a free business class upgrade on one of the flights, and paid to upgrade another leg—absolutely worth the additional cost for the extra comfort.

One of the highlights of the tour was the food. All meals were included, and we dined together as a group in traditional Chinese family-style, sharing a variety of delicious local dishes at each meal. It was a fantastic way to experience the cuisine and bond with the group.

What made the trip even more memorable was the wonderful group of fellow travelers. We shared great moments, plenty of laughs, and created memories I’ll treasure for a lifetime.

If you’re considering a trip to China, I highly recommend Wendy Wu Tours. This was an unforgettable journey, and I wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again!

Excellent guides, knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful.

Content of tour is very good, it covers all major sites, but felt too much is squeezed into the time allocated resulting in long and very tiring days. This relates primarily to the first few days in Beijing and Xi’an. The tour from the Yangtze through to Shanghai was perfect.

You need to be very aware of the physical requirements of this tour particularly if you are of more mature years as we had an elderly person who struggled to keep up and actually missed out as he couldn’t do some of trip..
