An excellent guided holiday covering the favourite tourist spots in three weeks. Great food, sights and good English speaking national and local guides. Well organised, with good customer support, and flexibility for flights, and extras like extensions.

It was rather hot and humid in September; probably mid October would be better. Should also be less crowded then. Physically not that demanding except walking up to the Great Wall with steep steps and some patches without handrails.

An excellent holiday to see as many places as possible in a given time without all the hassle of organising it.

Absolute brilliant holiday tour of China with Wendy wu , our guide Jessie was great with our every need and very patient as we were party of 28 . The timing were so perfected , I can honestly say we had the best time ever on holiday and I throughly recommend people go to China, it’s a wonderful country, the people are very welcoming and thanks to Wendy wu tour we got to experience the real China from small city to large city.
Thank you Jessie and our local guides throughout our 26days they made us feel at home. Jessie’s family.

Agent, Stephen, was extremely helpful and it was very easy to make our booking to Japan for next year

I had a great time on this tour. We packed so much in, there was always something else to do next. I've never slept so well at the end of each day! There was so much going on I've already forgotten half of what we did until I looked again at the itinerary just now.

The sights were amazing, from the cisterns to the cave houses, ruined temples to caravanserais. The boat trips were fun and relaxing, and exclusively for our group so tons of space, the battlefields were a fascinating opportunity to really appreciate the terrain and the tactics, and the Dervishes - although not what I'd been expecting - were mesmerising.

The guide, Ali, was really knowledgeable about so many different aspects of the country from the geology to the politics (we were never bored on the coach!), and our driver Jemal was great at getting the coach (which he kept pristine) as close as possible to where we needed to be.

We had the right amount of time everywhere and didn't feel rushed. I could have spent a lot longer in the underground city and generally grubbing about exploring caves/passageways along the walks we did, but that was just me - for the group as a whole, some of whom had mobility problems, it was plenty.

I enjoyed the food, and it was interesting to appreciate the variations in the staple dishes - lentil soup, kofta, salads - across the different towns. (The dessert buffet in Konya was amazing, despite being more "international" than Turkish.) It's also a great country if you like random friendly cats.

We had to queue for a couple of the main attractions in Istanbul, but this was apparently due to the arrival of several large cruise ships at the same time which was said to be unusual so it oughtn't to happen to you! The only other busy site was some rock churches which I didn't personally think were worth the wait (because the draw was that they had old Biblical murals/frescoes, which aren't really my thing. My recommendation, if you feel the same way, is to scoot over the road to explore the abandoned cave dwellings etc over there instead - I had it all to myself). Everywhere else was lovely and quiet.

Word of advice for the similarly-unseasoned traveller thinking they'll spend their remaining lira at the airport: other than the food (and you won't be hungry after two weeks on this tour) it's all priced in Euros! Go to the supermarket on the last morning and get all your take-homes from there.

Wendy wu tour along with Sean our guide for the month.
Made this ultimate China tour memorable and will always carry in our hearts.
The scenery and destination stops, / nights were strategically co ordinated for the build up of dramatic beyond stunning surrounds. Reaching the roof to the world.
I sincerely hope this tour stays the same, and that if you can afford the time please choose ultimate China with Guilin and Yangzhou , the most beautiful places to which I will return to for further exploration

Services and tourist guides are very good. The scenery and tour sites are marvellous but the cuisines needs to getting to. Maybe a bit more plain and less spicy food will suit the western stomache. Did have stomach problems for the first few days. Food is generally to spicy and oily.

Too much packed into the time we had. Guide was first class.
Food , most enjoyable but a bit “samey” by the end.
Hotels out of this world and opulent!!S Spotless and great heated toilet seats with music!!
Feel v. privileged to have see terra cotta warriors and the Great Wall.
Sadly, my husband and I have been ill since we returned. He has got bronchitis and I have a nasty virus. We are mending slowly!

Overall a good mix of very busy days sightseeing in China + some downtime on the cruise. Tour guide in China was probably the best we have ever had. Locals guides varied from okay to excellent.

Booking process very easy and clear with quick confirmation.

Phone answered promptly and info on Holiday explained. The rep even mentioned a price reduction and savings which was a very pleasant surprise. Managed to book over the phone and deposit paid. All in all a good experience
