TOUR ITINERARY
"I am writing to express our thanks and delight for the wonderful experience we enjoyed during our recent tour of China. Our opinion of that great country has been enhanced by the excellent way it was organised and the pleasure we gained from it. Especially we would like to express our appreciation in the way of our National Guide, Michael Lee, conducted us throughout our time in China. Michael is a credit to the Wendy Wu Tour organisation and a great ambassador for his beloved country of China. I could continue with glowing praises but will close with assuring you that all 23 of our group would recommend Wendy Wu Tours to our friends and anyone wishing to travel to China."
