TOUR ITINERARY

Wendy Wu Tours Review: "I have just completed the Glories of China trip, arriving back in Australia on 27th March. It was one of the most memorable trips that I have had the good fortune to experience. Our overall guide, Aaron, is worth his weight in gold. He was fantastic – nothing was too much trouble for him and his wealth of history and knowledge of China was exactly what I wanted to experience. As well, our guides in the other cities, Peggy in Shanghai, Shirley in Guilin and Joy in Beijing were all excellent and most informative about their cities and regions.

Congratulations to Wendy Wu Tours for a fantastic trip. I would recommend your company and this tour to anyone – a job well done!!!!!!!!!"
