Borneo Holidays

Best of Borneo was a really great tour, made even more so by our national guides Wayne and Jimmy. Visiting the Iban Longhouse, National Parks and our time in the jungle gave us a good look at Village life and the wildlife. Seeing Flying Squirrels, fireflies, Probiscus monkeys, lots of other monkeys and of course the Orangutan. We were lucky enough on our River Safaris in the jungle, to spot an Orangutan and it's nest/bed high up in the treetop. Also to see the Pygmi elephants feeding, getting in the river, lining up then swimming across the river to dissappear into the jungle on the other side.
I would suggest one less night in Kota Kinabalu and an extra night in Sepilok Resort. There were so many walking tracks one could have explored at a Park within a ten minute walk from the resort.
Overall it was a fantastic trip. The hi-light for me was the Longboat to the Longhouse, + the River Safaris in the jungle.

They explain everything in simple terms, nothing is too much trouble for them. This is my 3rd Wendy Wu tour but only the 2nd I have booked directly through them. Absolutely amazing, friendly staff. I recommend these tours to my friends.

Really enjoyed this tour! A good mixture of cities, countryside and wildlife. So many highlights on this trip although if I had to pick I would say the Cameron Highlands, the wildlife of Borneo and the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. The food was good and varied. The weather was hot & humid so be prepared clothes wise. I purposefully brought longer trousers as the itinerary said to dress conservatively however shorts of a decent length were perfectly fine for most places & our guide would highlight where longer trousers were needed the day prior (only the Batu Caves as I remember). I was glad I brought the longer trousers for Borneo though to avoid the pesky mosquitos (also bring bug spray). Also, definitely take a change of clothes for the river cruise in Kota Kinabalu in case of a sudden downpour as it's a 2 hour coach ride back to the hotel which is not pleasant in damp clothes.

I would highlight that this tour has a physical rating of level 1. For me (as some aged in my 30's with a good level of fitness) I would classify it as a level 2 given the heat & humidity along with the intensity of some of the walks with a lot of stairs and uneven ground! Just something to bear in mind when considering this tour as the general consensus in my group was that it was A LOT more physically demanding that any of us expected. This includes people on their 2nd, 3rd, 4th. . . Wendy Wu tour.

The tour only includes one day in Singapore. Given the amount of things to see in this incredible city I think it would be worthwhile staying for an extra night or two if possible.

Overall I would definitely recommend this tour! Had a fantastic two weeks with a brilliant group of people. Thank you to our wonderful guides - especially Kugan in Peninsular Malaysia and Kurt in Borneo - if you are lucky enough to have these guides in the future you're in good hands!

A FANTASTIC TOUR WITH A GREAT COMPANY - WENDY WU

Excellent tour with a fine guide.

After an unsatisfactory first call with a different person, I called back and booked my holiday with Natasha, who was professional and helpful. This will be my second trip with Wendy Wu Tours. These holidays are not cheap but are comprehensive and fully inclusive, which is ideal for the solo traveller.

Excellent service from Beau when booking a tour with rearranged flights. Thank you.

Arti has been really helpful with my latest booking. Giving me time and space to make the right holiday choices.
I have now booked 4 trips with Wendy Wu for the following reasons;
First trip to Borneo was faultless. The tour director Wayne created a memorable trip for all of us, and a year on, all of us remain in contact. The mix of restaurants/cafes chosen was just right , the food was good everywhere. Wayne was calm and professional in all situations and as a result I felt confident to go ahead and book further trips.
Nikki in the flights department has been exceptional, re my trip to Indonesia. She has delivered a personalised service for a very fair and reasonable price.
Overall I would say Wendy Wu has got it right on every level; varied tours, good quality accommodation and meals, backed up by an approachable back office that treat you fairly and give good value for money.

Excellent from initial booking until conclusion of holiday.

On line booking clear instructions and initial information requested was just sufficient to book and pay a deposit.
Liked the option to view alternative flights as the one offered included long transfer times.

I’ve completed one amazing tour to Borneo with Wendy Wu and I’ve just booked my second holiday with them.
At the booking of this second holiday Andy offered me answers to my multiple questions. This ultimately gave me the reassurance, confidence and information I needed to make my travel decisions. I’m planning a big holiday taking in multiple countries so it wasn’t a straightforward booking.
I had a wonderful first Wendy Wu tour and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I felt confident embarking as a solo because the paperwork and information was thorough and told me everything I needed to know. I even had the WhatsApp number of my guide, so made contact prior to leaving UK. He met my arrival flight (I arrived 3 days before tour start) and transferred me to the Tour hotel. Wayne was a fantastic national guide and remained with us the whole time. He was as professional, giving the same care and attention to every client in the group. Everything about that holiday was faultless. From the itinery to the accommodation to the food. As a solo who rarely eats out, the variety of restaurants visited and cuisine on offer, was a constant delight. I have no hesitation in recommending Wendy Wu tours.

Very personal. Staff are keen to help and make their trips memorable from the first conversation until the return after the trip.
