A most interesting tour which delivered what the brochure promised. The Wendy Wu pre-tour information, however, was out of date with reference to some tour experiences, eg. no food available on the 9 hour train journey north from Kolkata - we were provided with lunch boxes and food could be purchased from vendors who walked through the carriages. Our national guides were very informative, though the India guide was lax in his management style - however, he did put in extra visits which we all appreciated and enjoyed.

China is a hidden gem, the sights are amazing. George Pu the Wendy wu tour guide made this holiday a fantastic experience with his attention to detail and the way he made sure we didn't miss anything

An action packed tour of China, so well organised with excellent accommodation, meals and transport. It included all the famous tourist sites as well as so much more. Can’t recommend it enough particularly our National Guide, Zhang Ru, (Britney).

We have been on numerous river cruises with various companies but this trip was the best by far. Most comfortable and well equipped cabins, terrific food choices, good entertainment, exciting excursions and a brilliant crew and staff.
The beach resort stay was a perfect relaxing end to the holiday. Plenty to do or not, the choice is all yours.

Fantastic holiday. Great local guide and exciting schedule.

This was the holiday of a lifetime and proved to be excellent value. Everything was perfectly planned and managed by Wendy Wu Tours, from booking onwards. The schedule was jam-packed and we were able to see so many different aspects of China and its long history, accompanied by local guides in each main region who put our experiences in context for us, and our national guide who was with us from start to finish and became a valued friend. I was truly sad to leave this wonderful country.

a lot of travelling with early mornings and slow moving traffic

The ship the crew were wonderful we got to see the real side of Cambodia & Vietnam from village life to cocktails at raffles

Very good itinerary and excellent guide.

Lovely boat, fantastic crew and fantastic tours. Loads of great memories

People need to read the small print with this holiday - there are far too many Buddhist temples/dzongs/chorten/stupa and both Indian and Bhutanese guides added extra ones in. Some were in spectacular places so that added an extra dimension, especially for those who are looking for a dramatic camera shot. Also, Wendy Wu’s information is extremely inaccurate; distances between places take far longer to travel, so the length of time in the mini-bus is far greater than stated (frequently double - these are not roads one can speed on). No tea-making equipment is necessary - I wasted luggage space on a travel kettle. Be aware that good views of distant mountains are unlikely at this time of year (April) being near the rainy season and pollution is also affecting clarity. Having said all this, the guides were great, especially the Bhutanese one, the drivers very skilful (positively heroic in the case of the Indian one), the Bhuddist temples etc very interesting (just too many), the food very good, although apart from eggs, a bit short of meat alternatives in Bhutan (no pulses or paneer) . The Tiger’s Nest trek was arduous but spectacular and definitely worth it! Other walks were brilliant, especially the walk through the rhododendron forest - the group would have loved to have had more walks. This was my first Wendy Wu holiday and I loved it, but some of the details above detracted from the overall experience.

This is an epic way to get to see Japan, but more accurately it was a tour by road and rail. Please be aware that it should be rated as a level 2 tour in terms of physical exertion. You should be able to walk 2 miles on rough ground and climb some steep, narrow stairs to fully enjoy every aspect of this trip.

Glitches were small and overcome byGuide Kaori who was as good as one could get!

Tour guide Ruby was magnificent. This was an intense and packed tour with everything you could want except Pandas
