Japan Uncovered
A super introduction to a fascinating country.
Well organised, good visits and the all-inclusive aspect was very much appreciated. I have organised many long trips abroad, but for our first time in Japan we preferred the escorted and organised tour and it worked well. A full itinerary with the occasional long day, but now that we are back home we very much appreciate how much we were able to pack in. Interesting visits.

Japan & the Scenic South
The holiday took on a varied and exciting range of sites. The accommodation was excellent. We had a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. The extension to the tour was extra special.

China: The Big One
This trip provides a wonderful overview of the many faces of China. It gave me the chance to not only visit the fantastic historical sites such as The Wall, the Forbidden City and the Terracotta Army, it also gave me a great insight into current-day China with its fantastic infrastructure, modern, bustling cities and welcoming people. All of the guides and the tour leader at Wendy Wu were highly knowledgeable and passionate about their country. They shared their deep knowledge of the history, culture and customs and introduced us to the local food wherever we went. Our trip incorporated the main sights, big cities, small historical towns, the countryside, a cruise on the Yangste, a myriad of shows showcasing local culture and dances and spectacular scenery. Oh, and the pandas were adorable!

Japan Uncovered
The tour included many of the highlights of Japan. The pace was quick so someone less able might struggle to keep up. The guide was very informative about what we were about to visit and also about life generally in Japan.

Kruger to Cape Explored
A magical experience. During our 3 day safari stay at Sidula Private Lodge we went on 6 safaris & by our 2nd safari we had seen all of the Big Five. We thought it couldn’t get any better but it did each day. Our safari driver Charlie & tracker Peter were absolutely brilliant & so knowledgeable, in fact they gave the experience the magical factor.
Although the tour was full on & action packed there would be nothing I could fault other than the tour being split between 2 national guides - 1 national guide in our opinion would have been better.
The food at breakfast, lunch & dinner was very good, plentiful & varied - take clothes a size bigger to allow for the amount of food you are served & eat.

Kruger to Cape Explored
Generally the trip was very good and the itinerary was amazing, however it was full on, all days busy often with very early starts so be warned. We did feel that the “Gods Window” & “Tsitsikamma Forest” were a bit more than the level 1 fitness stated as they were both very long and steep climbs.
The 6 safari drives were amazing and we got to see all of the big 5
We very much enjoyed the Wendy Wu experience as we have on all previous holiday but would make 2 points.
1 The coach used on the Port Elizabeth to Cape Town section was too small & uncomfortable for journeys up to 12 hrs long.
2 we all paid our $180 tip money which added up to $3240 for the 18 on the trip. We were often urged to pay more direct to people. On previous Wendy Wu trips the national guides handed out the tips openly especially to local guides, which there were none on this trip. Obviously there were the Rangers & trackers plus hotel staff but it was difficult to know where all that money went. I should add we are happy to pay it if we knew where it was all going.
