The organisation was excellant, our guide Jackie excellant, helpful, informative and very knowledgeable. The local guides were very good as well.
The trip covered a huge amount of terrain, different sites and whilst there was a lot of travel, it all worked very smoothly.
The hotels were, largely, good and we were offered lots of local experiences, including dance shows and local food.

I have recently returned from a Wendy Wu Wonders of China Tour (10-24 Oct) and wish to place on record how much I enjoyed the tour. That enjoyment stemmed not only from the comprehensive Itinerary and places visited but also to the highly knowledgeable, hard working, dedicated and caring Tour Guide 'Betty' (an English name given to herself to make it easier for us to address her). She spoke excellent English and led the tour with a smile and sense of humour but always ensured the group knew exactly where to be and at what time whilst giving us detailed information about the place(s) we were visiting and their history and heritage which, of course, enabled us to more fully understand the purposes of what we saw, the origins of what we saw and so much more. I cannot speak highly enough of this lady and if I were to visit China again, I would hope that 'Betty' would be my guide again.

The meals and wide range of Chinese cuisine we experienced were also first class with all tastes catered for.

Can I also add that the information and advice provided pre-tour by Wendy Wu Tours was excellent and ensured that I was fully prepared for this tour and helped ensure my enjoyment and fulfillment whilst on this tour. Thank you.

I don't leave reviews as a matter of course, but i will say everything was excellent. The party i travelled with were quite diverse in character, ranging from, i have been everywhere people and know it all, to the most down to earth people i have ever the meet, from the North East, South West, and Scotland. The antipodean members seem to have been everywhere and had great pleasure of informing us. The following i would like to mention. Jean + Paul, Elizabeth(Libby), Sue, Vicky, Ron, Claudia + Sandra(sorry for pulling your leg all the time), and Ian(i have told them not to build the wall any higher) ha-ha. i hope Medina is on the road to recovery. The tour rep Louis was excellent and the first local rep Lindsey was joy to behold, both did outstanding jobs and are a credit to your company. The tour was full on, but this is what we signed up for, a positive response which would indicate that a good time was had by all, Well Wendy Wu, in the words of the Bard, I think you nailed it. I don't have anything planned as of yet as my business now needs my full attention. Now to blow my own trumpet, Ron asked me what my hobbies were, i said philately(stamp collecting) which is true, but my real pleasure is restoring Grade 11 listed buildings. I think that is all.
All my love to everyone,
May your life have more up's than down's
May your God go with you,
Love

The itinerary was perfect. The National Guide Jason was fantastic and incredibly helpful. The Local Guides very knowledgeable.
You need to be pretty fit as there is a lot of walking and stairs/steps involved.
Apparently there were some moans about lack of free time....the itinerary is very clear in my view that this is a very full on tour and if free time for shopping etc is required this is not the holiday for you.

It was very good. The tour guide Jacky was excellent and very helpful. The local guides were very knowledgeable.
The accommodation and transport were great.
Would definitely go on another Wendy Wu tour

We did a 16 Wonder of China tour with a beautiful ****** Britney (Zhang Ru). Britney was organized, attentive, care, patient, knowledgeable in Chinese new and old histories and culture, above all she was lively and fun which made the tour full of laughter and joy. The Great Wall of China is magnificent, terracotta warriors in Xi’an is unbelievable til you see it, cruising on Yangtze River was beautiful with classic and optional shore tour, cruising from Guilin to Yangshuo on Li river was WOW factor, it took our breath away. We have already thinking of coming back to Guilin again just to sit back and enjoy the most beautiful scenery on earth. Shanghai the Bund is jaw dropping.

Very friendly and informative booking clerk

The trip lived up to all that the ads promised. Really excellent guide, good hotels, lovely food and an incredible range of excursions and entertainment.

This tour has completely changed my perception of China. The terracotta warriors and the Great Wall were what I wanted to see, however there was much, much more to this trip. We were extremely tired because of the variety of opportunities provided. There was a lot crammed into one day but if the itinerary was altered to cut some sights it wouldn't be value for money. One could have left off the optional extras but if you wish to experience everything that China has to offer, just go for everything! It adds so much to your cultural learning.
Our guide Hoffmann was brilliant. His humour, patience, respect, dedication and knowledge allowed us to participate with confidence while absorbing all that China had to offer. The Chinese people were overwhelming with their welcome, friendliness and hospitality. Highlights were the pandas, the glass bridge, Zhanjiajie Mountains, Tianmen Mountain cable car, and the many local shows with a riot of colour, skills, performed on a grand scale. You have to go and you won't regret it.

This tour was a brilliant introduction to China, including so many fabulous sites and activities. Jason, our national guide, was wonderful, attentive, informative, amusing and so hard working. The local guides were also excellent. The trip was very slick and exceptionally well planned. This is a full on tour, with early starts and not much downtime which suited us very well as we wanted to pack in as much as we could. Highlights were the Great Wall, Terracotta Army, Pandas and mountains even though the weather was not great. Some people found the walking and steps a challenge but if you are an active person this won’t be an issue. The accommodation was all very good, as was the food, with plenty of choice. Highly recommended.

Very well organised with a superb guide”Hoffman”.
Only criticism was that two days were too busy and long.
The food at one hotel was poor.

This was a long tour of China in a group of 26. It was fabulous. We covered all the major sites in China led by an excellent national guide supported by local guides. Everything worked well with good hotels, efficient transport, delicious food and fascinating visits. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone considering a trip to China. There were many highlights and no disappointments.

This was an excellent introduction to China which, in many ways, is a country on a different scale to others. We had a good taste of the country through bus, train and plane, The hotels were all of good quality and we certainly did not go hungry. One highlight was the three day cruise on the Yangtze river, another was the river boat in Shanghai to see the city by night. Raymond, our guide, ensured all arrangements ran smoothly and did a good job looking after us. There were a couple of blips along the way. On the Yangtze we were sent us off on a day tour with a non-English speaking guide which was naughty and quite stressful. And the local guide in Shanghai did not take seriously my allergy to shellfish - serving up egg fried rice with prawns, luckily spotted in good time. Overall, the trip was big, hugely educational, good value for money and an excellent taste of China.

Friendly phone consultants. Seem to know their products well. They were immediately familiar with the tour, timings and flight options.

Prior to booking submitted a couple of quick information requests via the web site, disappointing that neither were responded to.

I didn’t realise I could review all the flight options by starting to make a booking on line. You have to enter full names of all passengers before you get to that level of information. It would be helpful if it was more obvious that this information was available and if it could be accessed without having to put all the passenger details in when you’re not yet ready to actually book.
