My trip to China was a very interesting experience.
I was impressed with the extraordinary history, culture and how advance the modern cities, the fast train, the roads and highways.
The trip was a real success because our excellent guide Betty. She was so aware of our security and needs. Besides her perfect English, her interesting anecdotes made our long bus journeys pleasant. Very grateful with her
The food was delicious and nice to go to local restaurants to see the real way of eating of Chinese people.
The fast train was amazing to ride. The train station so clean and organized
Impressed me the cleanliness and organization of the cities in general
The others guides and bus driver were very nice too, specially Tony in Beijing and Johnny in Datong etc…
Thank you to Wendy Wu tours for perfect organization of my tour to China

Just returned from a brilliant tour. The itinerary was well designed, mixing historical, cultural, countryside and urban. A well balanced, if short, insight into China. Being a tour, some days were hard work but I can’t think of anything I would have wanted to leave out. The experience was full of surprises. One thing in particular was the friendliness of the local Chinese. I am not sure what I expected but when we were out and about, be it in a child’s playground, shopping mall, or historical site, they would happily interact with us. Within the language constraints we had some lovely conversations.
The national guide, David, was excellent. His organisation of the itinerary and his relationship with the tour members was exceptional.
Additional to the tour there were several optional events. Each of which was very enjoyable and enhanced the experience. For me the best one was Impression Sanjie Liu In Yangshuo
One observation that might be worth making concerns budgeting. Wedy Wu literature suggest between £300 and £400 pounds per person for spending. Generally correct but the cost of optional excursions does increase the spend. I would suggest £600 has being more appropriate.
To summarise, the tour was a fantastic experience. I would like to thank all those from Wendy Wu to contributed to its success.

Excellent holiday. brilliant Chinese National guide Jason for the tour and an incredible country to visit

triip of a lifetime - great guides, wonderful and real insights into china old and new - a real eye opener

A truly magical trip inside a magnificent country.
The trip from start, Beijing and finishing in Shanghai we covered vast distances ( quickly I my say) and saw a wonderful array of sights never to be forgotten.
This is ablely managed by Jason our magician of the tour guide , who is then further assisted by local guides you are extremely knowledgeable of their region to help you grasp the current region or historic issues and enhance your enjoyment, which they certainly did. Jason just makes all the various things that need to happen with the group, happen, he does professional behind a extremely well organised iternary and trip.

Friendly efficient service

Excellent time in China, good itinerary, accommodation and travel arrangements covering many diverse areas of China. Our national guide, Jason, was first class. He went out of his way to ensure all arrangements were completely satisfactory for all the guests and ensured that all had a safe and fantastic trip.

A wonderful introduction to China with a great group of well travelled people. Our guide was helpful, informative and interesting and the tour was a good mixture of busy sightseeing days and more relaxed days on the Yangtze river where we could enjoy the beautiful scenery as well as the talks and entertainment on board. Everything was meticulously organised and we were given enough free time to explore on our own. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and can think of no negatives at all.

This tour covers all the key areas of China and is jam packed for the whole 26 days - so you need stamina ! It was well organised and our guide Alice was wonderful - no issue was too big or too small for her to help you with. The size of the group was 12 and was a lovely mix of like minded people all their for the adventure. I had never been to China before but found the people lovely and sightseeing amazing a really good mix for a holiday of a life time

Efficient & Personable

The tour guide Jason was top class.

Couldn't do enough to help everyone on the tour. He helped me solve various issues.

The itinerary is also excellent. That's why I picked this trip.

I do feel they could vary the style of eating more often or even reduce the amount of included dinners. Because every meal was included it almost became monotonous than something special. Several In the group chose to skip included meals at times.

Hotels were excellent apart from in Shangri-la. That one was so hot in the room and temperature couldn't be adjusted. But that was the exception, all other hotels were excellent.

They delivered what I hoped for and they were very good with the visa service too.

This was a fabulous trip, with everything meticulously organised and covering all of the China highlights we wished to visit and experience. All hotels were excellent although the one in Yangshuo offered a relatively limited breakfast and terrible coffee. The range of food items on offer in the other 4 hotels was magnificent. The trip included all meals, basically 2 main meals a day as lunch and dinner were virtually indistinguishable, except for the 2 days when we a had packed lunch. Activities came thick and fast, but virtually all were given adequate time given the full schedule. Our itinerary included 2 internal flights and a connection by bullet train, all flawlessly organised. We had 4 different local guides, all attentive to individual needs. Our only recommendation would be that guides be less cautious about the willingness of clients to have a truly Chinese experience - guides should be encouraged to quickly assess the degree to which clients are willing to try genuinely local cuisine and then choose restaurants and meal courses accordingly.
In conclusion, the trip fulfilled our hopes and felt value for money.

Well organised and managed
Good hotels and guides
Did exactly what brochure said it would
