TOUR ITINERARY

Wendy Wu Tours Review: "WOW – that’s all I can say.

My husband & I were on your tour that commenced on Saturday 8th August in Hanoi. We had a memorable holiday and one that I am still buzzing about today. Our guide, Peter, was just amazing. He looked after us and all our needs. He is a credit to your organization and I would like you to pass on these comments to him if possible. He made our trip very easy. Right from when he picked us up at the airport, travelling throughout Vietnam and our final day in Saigon. He looked after everything for us and we didn’t have to do a thing. His knowledge of Vietnam was outstanding.

This was the best holiday that I’ve been on in many many years. Vietnam was just wonderful and Wendy Wu Tours made it all the more memorable. The quality of the accommodation was excellent and the choice of restaurants was fantastic.

Thanks again for everything. It was wonderful."
