Review for Gems of China
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.

Review for Wonders of China
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.

Review for China & Tibet Discovery
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.

Review for Ultimate China
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.

Review for Magnificent China
George Pu was our guide. George was most delightful and knowledgeable. George explained how his country worked and its beliefs.
The tour was interesting, however a little more time was required at certain sites, especially "free" time for exploration.

Review for Majestic Yangtze
We were on the Majestic Yangtze tour with Wendy Wu Tours for 14 days in mid-September 2026 and what a trip it was!
All the way from Shanghai to Beijing and so much in-between from a night cruise in Shanghai to such "wonders of the world" as the Terracotta Warriors and Great Wall of China, the cities of Chengdu and Xian as we flew through China's vast countryside on bullet trains and sat in awe of how much and how fast this vast country has changed in the last thirty years. Cities of twenty million or more, sky high apartment buildings adorning every city skyline and hotels as classy as any western ones with the latest technology from robot room service to AI loos with handsets to warm them up or flush everything away. All top class- apart from one or two issues flights with Turkish Airlines and stopovers in Instanbul.
The real highlights however weren't the vast distances we travelled but the people we travelled them with-our multinational group from the UK, Australia and USA-and the entertainment we enjoyed on our gorgeous four night cruise on the Yangtze River sailing through the Three Gorges Dam with the staff providing the evening entertainment and even the Captain joining in, the tours of silk and jade factories, the Forbidden City & the gorgeous Sacred Garden by day and Xian's medieval City Walls lit up by night as well as delicious Chinese food every day served on our "Lazy Susan for all to share. We got a full-on taste of China, its rich medieval heritage and its people today not as we might portray them from western media but as a people as welcoming and friendly as anywhere else and apart from Tinnaman Square free to say-often in English and always very respectfully- what life is like in China today.
It was everything we hoped for -and more. But the Star of our Tour undoubtedly was our main guide Gary (all Chinese guides it appears have an English name) who not only kept us all on time and in line with phrases such as "Gary's Family", "Follow the flag", Sticky Rice (keep together) and "One Dollar" (someone is missing)/ "Two Dollar" (everyone's here) but with his "Chinglish", his inexhaustible good humour (at least one joke a day) and his genuine concern for and attention to detail with all 23 of us. This was more than a 'personal touch' or company training. This was Gary, knowledgeable, caring,funny and always smiling; one, if not, the best tour guide we have ever had and a huge compliment to Wendy Wu who it seems sets the standard as all the guides we met seem to know her personally. Gary and Wendy Wu made our tour of China both special and memorable and for that my wife and I are extremely grateful.

Review for Additional Night Beijing|Magnificent China
Wendy Wu's Magnificent China gave what it promised: as many best parts / experiences to have in China over three weeks, with all meals included. It was fast paced, as expected with such a comprehensive itinerary, but most of us felt that we would like a little more useful free time. Most of the meals were excellent, but some were not palatable to us, depending on individual restaurant and region. The hotels were 4 star with King beds and spacious, clean rooms. Our guide, Andy, was exceptional. He bent over backwards to see to our needs, to be informative and approachable, and keep us safe. He was considerate and thoughtful, providing much appreciated touches, such as hand sanitiser, moist towelettes, cups of tea or coffee and snacks on our bullet train trips.
It was a wonderful experience with everything included, made better by having Andy as our guide.

Review for Ancient China
As a first introduction to China ancient sites, it is perfect. Our responsible Scott was wonderful. He was so patient as guiding 28 people it is like herding cats. Everything worked perfectly, our hotel rooms, our meals and visits of sites. I truly enjoyed myself and met some very interesting persons. I cannot wait to go back to China.
