Reviews

I contacted Keith following the recent roadshow in Southend to discuss a potential booking to India. He couldn’t deal with me at that moment but arranged for Julia to call. She contacted me within 5 minutes and answered my queries regarding changes to the flights. I booked the tour as consequence and received the confirmation shortly afterwards.

Very clear and helpful. Very patient with our questions

The booking agent, Catherine, was very efficient & fully understood the package I was seeking

Service rating :

The trip was very good. The itinerary was excellent but it was very tiring. We had little time for leisure or doing things independently. We stayed in some good hotels but rarely were free to enjoy their facilities.

Our tour guide Vishal was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and happy to explain everything to the group. He certainly added to a fabulous experience.

Product :

Generally very good, but not 5 star as it was very full on with long days, and early starts. The food was very similar in most of the hotels and restaurants we visited.

I would give 5 stars to our tour guide Vishal. He was superb

My third trip with Wendy Wu, good service and a good itinerary, the tour leader M K Jain was excellent. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He dealt with all the unforeseen problems very professionally.

The itinerary and the tour leader M K Jain were excellent.
Most of the hotels were very good with the exception of the Rajputana Resort at Udaipur which was very poor. The internal flight from Khajuraho to Varanasi was cancelled by the airline resulting in a very long 12 hour coach drive. This led to some aspects of the itinerary being rushed. However overall the trip was very good.

Pros : Organisation, efficiency, fulfilling the promised itinerary
Ultimate Pro : The guide MK Jain

One question mark over the location and standard of the wildlife reserve visited.

Great guide. Great organisation. Very well informed guide and willing to share all aspects of Indian life. Good hotels. Good food. Good drivers and assistants. Like the “tipping system”. Like the fully inclusive system. Good choices of sightseeing. A little too much bus travel for me but that’s nothing to do with Wendy Wu.

Service rating :

First class organisation throughout the trip ensuring a very smooth and super journey around northern India.

Value for money. Good all round variety of experience. Varanasi is a must!

Excellent organisation of tour, first rate guide who went over and above expectations to provide us with the best experience that he could of India.
This was our 3rd Wendy Wu tour and intend travelling with the company again.

Service rating :

Once again Wendy Wu came up trumps with the visit to India and Nepal. It wasn't just the excellent organisation that we have come to expect, but the "above and beyond the call of duty" that they and our guide put in when things went not as planned(!). Highly recommended.

Product :

Fascinating and well organised with a superb guide.

Just completed a 18 day tour of Highlights of India. It was a fairly hectic trip. The principal guide (Umi) was superb. He had a thorough knowledge of what we were visiting and an easy manner in which he delivered the information. The coach driver and assistant who accompanied us for much of the trip were also excellent. One or two of the hotels had niggles but we expected that in India. Size of party (10) worked well as did the mix of Australians and British. We thought the $100 seemed excessive considering the general rate for tips and felt that this should be included in the overall cost rather than the American style of tipping. This niggle aside we will consider Wendy Wu next time we book a similar type trip. (This was our second Wendy wu trip).

See above comments highlights of India tour

La prestation était tout à fait correcte, le guide était compétent et disponible, les hôtels étaient confortables, les transports tout à fait acceptables.
Je me suis lassée de la nourriture très répétitive et très épicée pour masquer
la pauvreté du goût, mais cela fait partie du dépaysement.

The representive guides were excellent. Also all the drivers and helpers were wonderful. Have no complaints about them at all.
We feel that all coaches should have toilet facilities on board particulalrly in India but we have mentioned this on previous feedback on other tours that we have been on.
Hotels we found to be generally not up to standard. We feel alot need updating especially to have bedroom safes in all hotels. At one hotel there was no room safe so for 2 days we had to carry all our valuables with us which did make us feel uneasy.
On our tour we had one very obnoxious lady who made our guides life terrible and also made us late on numerous occassions for our excursions. The guide certainly had his work cut out but was amazing.

Product :

The only concern was the safety aspect when we went on the night trip to the River Ganges. It was no problem for us but there were alot of older guests on the tour. One of the ladies fell in while traversing the boats and one lady who I mentioned above decided to go walk about which made the guides job very difficult. I would suggest that on this excurssion that 2 guides should be with the guests.

Service rating :

Service during tour very good.

Umid very excellent guide. Tour including Varanasi first rate.
