TOUR ITINERARY

"We had a wonderful trip with Wendy Wu. Our escort, Mien, was absolutely great. She explained the history of Vietnam in great detail and has a passionate interest in her country.  She also has a great, caring personality and a good sense of humour. I would certainly recommend Wendy Wu Tours to my friends without hesitation."
Mr and Mrs Maguire, New South Wales – March 2009
