Wendy Wu Tours

The Inspiring India - Upgraded was a great tour and the only way to see this part of India. We couldn't have done it by our selves.
This is the first big tour we have been on. In the last 30 years we usually organise our own holidays and tours but after this tour we're going to do this again.

We had an excellent guide EMI,who shared her extensive knowledge of her country which made a great holiday a wonderful experience shared with a fantastic group of people.

A great adventure but a demanding schedule which meant we regularly arrived late to check into our hotels.
The sights and experience were above our expectations and our tour leader was exceptional. The guides were very knowledgeable but at times gave us too much information for us to absorb.
The group size of 16 meant lunches, toilet breaks etc tended to take a bit too long. (This was our first group travel experience, we usually travel independently or with a private tour for the two of us).
The arrangements were very smooth and we had total confidence in the company and the employees. It was pleasurable to meet so many like minded travellers but we prefer the flexibility that a private tour offers as we did get frustrated , on occasions ,by the time it took to have lunch.

Lovely trip. Well organised.
Our travel guide was very informative and helpful.

Love it , very well organised and Sophia was an excellent guild .
Hope she gets feed back from Wendy Wu ..?

Excellent guide, very knowledgable.
Hotels good standard, some excellent.
Food mainly very very good.

Both guides for China ( Ryan) and Japan ( Hiroshi) were amazing. Looked after the group well and extremely helpful in assisting especially with diet requirements as much as they were able to

Saw lots of interesting places.
Hotels in Japan were not up to the standard of China which surprised us.
Very small rooms , not well appointed ( especially the bathrooms) and extremely crowded.. waiting for a lift or question for breakfast in Japan was frustrating.

Bring Coeliac on these countries was exceptionally challenging. Options were very limited and understanding of cross contamination very poor. Breakfast options were also limited due to it always being a buffet. Not all places were able to cook uncontaminated food.
Have translations available but still difficult.

Traveled on bus, trains. Planes, boats , cable cars
Learnt a lot about the history and also the current lifestyle..
Great mix of people on the tour who all got on well together and looked out for each other.

Hotels excellent with exception of Continental Samarkand. Not the same standard as other hotels on the tour.
Recommend voice box for travellers as guide had to compete with other guides to be heard

We had a fantastic experience on 2 Wendy Wu Tours. A China Experience tour was just brilliant. We had a fantastic tour guide Dan in China he looked after everyone he is so knowledgeable and fun to be around. We had many highlights on this tour. Dan made everything run smoothly. Then we went to Japan on Japan uncovered tour this was also brilliant a different cultural experience. Emico our tour guide made the tour so enjoyable with her knowledge of each place in Japan, Emico looked after everyone. Happy with only 28 people Max on both tours. This made it enjoyable to meet people easily. Hotel locations for both tours were great. We thoroughly enjoyed our Wendy Wu Tours.
