Great itinerary. The guide, Ken, was excellent. He keeps his cool, explains things well, has excellent English, understands British and Australian sense of humour irony and jargon. In short he is a Gem.

We had an amazing trip thanks to the wonderful organisational skills of our National guide Jerry. Everything ran like clockwork. The local guides were also fantastic. We saw everything on the itinerary and more. Wonderful cities, scenery, bullet trains and boat trip, not to forget the Pandas. Was surprised at first to go to a zoo to see them but after watching Ben Fogle in Chengdu realise that had we gone there we may not have seen any at all! Would highly recommend Wendy Wu for an escorted trip.

Never having done a guided trip before we were a bit cautious but decided that to get the most out of this epic trip we would bite the bullet. There were 26 of us 13 Brits and 13 Aussies. Plus our glorious leader and guide Yama . In two weeks we experienced every facet of Japanese life and history. Temples, Tea Ceremony, Snow Monkeys, Mount Fuji, Hiroshima, Sumo Wrestling,Wasabi-Miso-Washi Paper production. All were sampled and some made too. We travelled by coach,bullet train, boat, cable car and on foot. The whole experience was overwhelmingly awesome. From 3-4 hundred year old houses/temples to the modern day skyscrapers of Tokyo we devoured it all. Most of us were 60+ but we all made the grade with people able to bail out if they felt it would be too hard. Friendships were formed and memories we will treasure for ever. Accommodations and meals were superb. Can't recommend this trip enough. And especially our guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, and our group of 19 were lead by Jackie with great efficiency.
The local guides were excellent and provided us with historical and local information in great detail and, in most cases, humour.
Our accommodation throughout the tour was very good although we did have a few technical issues in Tibet. Lhasa Snow Paradise Hotel had recently been refurbished and has installed high tech systems in the rooms, including a toilet which automatically lifts the lid and self flushes, if it works properly that is! We had to get assistance twice during our stay. Also the lights, curtains and tv were voice activated through a smart speaker but only accepted Chinese commands.
We treated the Yangtze River cruise as a respite from the travel schedule and were pleased that we upgraded our on board package. It came at a good time in the tour. The à la cart menu was a change from the lazy Susan meals we had been given on a daily basis, although the quality of those meals were always first class.
If we were to advise people about this tour, we would certainly recommend it, but we would say to go to Beijing a day earlier than when it starts as you do hit the road running on day one!
We saw all the sights, had a proper introduction to China and its’ people and cultures and our group were a great bunch of people. All in all a great experience and there wasn’t a single hitch in the travel arrangements and accommodation.
Thank you Wendy Wu.

I found the staff very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about our questions, the tour we booked and the travel options.

We saw a lot, we learned a lot, we did a lot, laughed a lot, made friends, had excellent food and great experiences. The tour guide was wonderful and excellent in keeping us on track, on time and in one piece, in short brilliant.

Friendly, knowledgeable and well informed staff.

Matt was very patient, kind and helpful. I felt he had time for me and answered all my questions.

A brilliant trip where you get to see a great variety of places and experiences. It is very full on and not the best if you like to take things slowly or are not overly fit. However I would certainly recommend it for anyone enjoying amazing Chinese food and lots of interesting places to visit and excellent guides to inform you.
