I have recently returned from a Wendy Wu Wonders of China Tour (10-24 Oct) and wish to place on record how much I enjoyed the tour. That enjoyment stemmed not only from the comprehensive Itinerary and places visited but also to the highly knowledgeable, hard working, dedicated and caring Tour Guide 'Betty' (an English name given to herself to make it easier for us to address her). She spoke excellent English and led the tour with a smile and sense of humour but always ensured the group knew exactly where to be and at what time whilst giving us detailed information about the place(s) we were visiting and their history and heritage which, of course, enabled us to more fully understand the purposes of what we saw, the origins of what we saw and so much more. I cannot speak highly enough of this lady and if I were to visit China again, I would hope that 'Betty' would be my guide again.

The meals and wide range of Chinese cuisine we experienced were also first class with all tastes catered for.

Can I also add that the information and advice provided pre-tour by Wendy Wu Tours was excellent and ensured that I was fully prepared for this tour and helped ensure my enjoyment and fulfillment whilst on this tour. Thank you.

This is the second time we have travelled with Wendy Wu Tours and cannot fault them in any way whatsoever and will definitely be travelling with them again in the future. The tour was extremely well organised from start to finish and our guide was with us all the way and really helped to make the holiday perfect. I had a dietary requirement and I was catered for on every occasion above and beyond. The tour takes in all the essence of Japan, its lifestyle and culture. Absolutely perfect in every way.

5 star tour leader, Luis- Always looking out for group members. Very well organized.
5 star local tour guide, Jackie. Friendly, excellent communication. Sad to see him finish.
4 star other local guides - too much talking and information which will not be remembered, and English not always up to 5 star level.
5 star and wonderful food.- No need to do Pizza Hut lunch or Radisson Hotel steak and chips. Neither up to expected standard. We loved Chinese food.
Cut out the 3 days across Desert. Fly Turpan to Kashgar. What we saw in these 3 days was not interesting enough to warrant the long bus rides.
Three lots of Budhist caves on the tour was overkill. especially the one in Kuqa.
Excellent consideration of toilet stops on long bus rides with good facilities.
Needs a day, mid tour, with no activity in a city where the hotel is close to main shops. End of day after dinner and a long day was insufficient opportunity to fulfill any shopping desires, especially non tourist souvenir shopping. Came home having not been able to buy anything on my shopping list.
Hotels were all excellent and where small fridge (for medication storage) was not in the room, Luis made suitable arrangements.
Almost all the group had been to China before. Guides need to consider this when talking non stop. WWT needs to consider this choosing sightseeing in Beijing and Shanghai. Pre tour questionnaire would enable WWT to plan different sights new to many of the group. Nearly all the group had already been to Beijing.
Beijing on Golden week, weekend was a disaster. Both days were total repeats for me and others and not enjoyed. The crowds were a nightmare. Millions locals sightseeing and enjoying the holiday weekend.
ESim - Recommendations for ESim not to include Airalo. No connection for 2 of us while in Gusan province. Big disappointment. Do not recommend this ESim.
I loved that everything was taken care of and led by a really superb, very intelligent and caring Tour Leader, Luis. Would book with Wendy Wu Tours again.
Thank you. Edreen

Tour was excellent.
Made SPECIAL by our tour guide Aimee.
A warm, kind and bubbly personality.
Most definitely an asset to the organisation.
A relatively small group, 17 people.
All well traveled.
Highlights, too many to mentioned.
Tibet stood out for me.
I have to state clearly that all the days were absolutely noteworthy.
Will recommend Wendy Wu Tours to anybody interested.
I am interested in a combined Sth Korea tour or cruise.
Also, I am interested in Sri Lanka and Maldives combined tour or cruise.
Not sure whether your company Wendy Wu does Sth America.
My rating would be higher than 80%.

With kind regards,
