"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!

A well organised and informative trip. Our guide, Madoka, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She did everything she could to make our holiday special. The food and hotels were excellent. The daily tour itinerary packed in as many sights and activities as possible so was very tiring. We would have preferred less Shrines to give some free time. Overall a perfect holiday.

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.

This was an excellent trip which took us all around the island, we saw history both ancient, modern and recent. Also natural amazing beautiful areas, national parks and a beach resort. We truly experienced a varied and fascinating trip around the island, as well as looking at the indigenous culture .

Japan Uncovered

Our Tour: Good
The food was as expected for a large group of 26 and a bit ordinary. Hotels were large international ones. The trip focussed on temples and castles and tourist sights, with little chance to interact with Japanese people. Overall, it could have been a lot more interesting, but it was worth going for what it was. Little pension hotels in the country are often a better experience, and small groups eat better because the chef is not cooking school dinners.

Off-Beat Japan

Our Tour: Good
There was a good mix of activities and visits, although the number of tourists at this time of the year was greater than anticipated. Personally, I enjoyed the drumming and sumo wrestling most of the activities.
The scenery was spectacular with very green mountains and actually seeing the top of Mount Fuji while at the phlox festival was also a highlight.
Takayama was a lovely town which was probably worth another day.
On the whole some of the street food was more to my taste than some of the included vegetarian food as I found it rather too bland, but that's just my preference.

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.

China Delights

Tuesday 27 May 2025
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
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 !

The whole trip was very well organised from enquiry to departure. Every little query was answered in a friendly, professional manner. The 11 night tour ran like clockwork and covered a large number of locations spread across Japan. We travelled by coach, bullet train and local express train, which all ran exactly to schedule without a hitch. The tour content was so varied and covered temple visits, snow monkeys, the deer at Nara, mount Fuji, two boat trips (one a meal in Tokyo bay), tea ceremony, origami, sampling sake, a trip to the top of the Sky Tree in Tokyo and numerous other locations. Meals were all included and allowed us to sample Japanese cuisine to its full at some really nice restaurants. Our guide for The Experience Japan tour was Naomi, who was an absolute delight to spend time with. She was so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and funny and made it her mission to ensure that everyone in the party had the best experience possible. She was an absolute credit to both herself and Wendy Wu Tours. Both myself and my son had the experience of a lifetime and would thoroughly recommend both this tour and Wendy Wu.
