Wendy Wu Tours

Keith was brilliant giving his talk and Hanna also with the booking. Problem started when we got the confirmation email. Firstly it was for the wrong date and the ATOLcertificate was for the wrong number of days. When Keith gives his talk he emphasises the tours are inclusive without extra things to pay for, however, when you read the detailed itinary there are loads of extras to pay for if you want to do them.

The whole trip just undertaken with Wendy Wu was excellent. I’ve now booked another tour with them for next year, and all is good.

Contacted me after an initial enquiry. Very helpful and pleasant to speak to. Answered all my questions quickly.

It was fast, clearly explained and friendly. Their expertise on holidays to China was obvious.

Our motive for going to China was to visit family, but we also wanted to see the country. Not having visited before, making our own travel arrangements was daunting, and we decided to go on an organised tour.

We chose Wendy Wu’s Gems of China tour as it gave us the opportunity to visit areas such as the Zhangjiajie National Park which weren’t covered by other tours, and we were very happy with our choice.

From the first moment of booking we were very satisfied with the attention to detail and level of support we received from the company. When it was decided (the day after we applied) that British visitors no longer needed a visa, the staff were very helpful, and processed our refund quickly. The information we received before the tour was very comprehensive and answered all our questions.

The quality of the hotels where we stayed, and the transport (including coaches, trains and internal flights) were all excellent.

In an unfamiliar country such as China the quality of the local guides is extremely important, and our main guide, Sophie Jin was fantastic! Her English was great, she was very knowledgeable and friendly, and managed the conflicting demands of a diverse group with tact and kindness. We were very well looked after, and I can’t praise her highly enough. Different guides with more local knowledge were employed in the different places we visited, and they were all excellent.

The tour covered all the main areas of tourist interest, such as Beijing, the Great Wall, Terracotta warriors etc, and included a relaxing Yangtze cruise. We had many opportunities to go on voluntary evening entertainments, and I can honestly say that these were some of the highlights of the tour, and gave us experiences we would never have had elsewhere.

My only (minor) criticism would be that the tour was very fast-paced; it would have been nice to have longer stays in the places visited, and more free time, but this would have added to the cost, which was quite high. All in all the tour was a brilliant introduction to a country little visited by western tourists, and one which challenged previously held ideas. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend Wendy Wu tours highly.

Sorted flights easily and didn't charge a huge amount for connecting flights

I had unfortunate issues with the guide on the third day of the tour that Wendy Wo agents were quick to rectify.
I have not received a call since my return which I was expecting!!!

So far everything re the booking has run very smoothly

Excellent
