First class from start to finish.
Attention to detail superb from pickup to the return home.
Our tour guide was exceptional, from history lessons ,to her attention to detail, nothing escaped her! She really was great, had a great sense of humour, even though at times it must have felt like she was herding cats!!,,
Would not hesitate to use Wendy Wu tours in future.

Attended The Wendy Wu Tours open day in Bournemouth yesterday and booked several bucket list tours.
Glen was knowledgeable and engaging throughout his talk on each destination. Later assisting us with any questions we had.
I highly recommend attending one of their open days if you find yourself overwhelmed when researching online.
Thank you to Glen and the team, we’re very excited for our upcoming tours.

The young lady I spoke to was helpful and cheerful.

Excellent very knowledgeable

Knowledgeable, organised and friendly tour guide. Good variety of places/ experiences e.g. temples, snow monkeys, bullet train. Enjoyed the meals and the opportunity to taste different Japanese foods. Hotels were of a good standard. We did feel that categorizing the tour as 'physical level 1' was not accurate as on some days a lot of walking and steps were involved.

Easy to follow booking process in line
Immediate response for questions
Booking schedule and ATOL certificate received next day

The Experience Japan tour was a great introduction to Japan for a first time visitor.
The pace of the itinerary was fairly full-on and the group I travelled with were interesting people who seemed very open to enjoying the tour. There were occasions when I wondered if anyone from Wendy Wu had actually attempted to visit everything in the time allocated as we didn't have enough time to properly explore some of the sites (for example, the queues at Matsumoto castle meant we didn't all get chance to see inside). Our wonderful guide, Yu, was exceptional and as flexible as the itinerary allowed. He managed to get us all where we needed to be within the time allocated - not an easy task, but he accomplished it with tenacity and good humour.
Quite a lot of the travel was by coach, which was comfortable and spacious. There was a moderate amount of walking involved as we toured the various sites, but none of it was strenuous. The train journeys were very good and well organised. Yu's English was excellent and I really appreciated his knowledge of the areas we visited and his enthusiasm for sharing information about the Japanese language and culture, including providing tastes of local delicacies.
The hotels were quite varied and all were comfortable. Food options were mainly buffets. I did expect more Japanese menus, but on a group tour all tastes need to be accommodated and a buffet is probably the easiest way to do this.
Highlights for me were the train rides, beautiful clear views of Mt Fuji (we were so lucky with the weather these two days!), vending machines, the lovely mountain scenery, the onsen, and getting a small insight into a different culture to my own.
I could have happily dispensed with the river cruise in Osaka (underwhelming), the origami and fan painting. I realise these activities are optional and if I visited again I would prefer more free time to explore and immerse myself in the places we visited. The shrines were really interesting, but towards the end of the tour I did feel as though I'd probably seen enough for the time being.
The trip felt a bit like a whistle-stop tour of Japan at times, but it has provided me with a very good idea of what I'd like to do next time I visit - and I do think there will be a next time.

Able to book holiday to Japan easily and change airline to a perferred airline. Flights confirmed.
Confirmed type and grade of hotel accommodation and will a guide be available for the additional 3 day tour.
