Excellent trip well planned.
Outstanding guide
I would have liked to spent a few more days in Hokkaido
Wendy Wu were very good
My return journey was completely ruined by
Cathay Pacific
Who changed both legs of my return flight down graded one and altered the other provided worse possible seats so I got no rest or respite for the whole 20 hours and are yet to provide a refund

Great tour - saw all the biggies 😀. Generally pleasant people & lovely, knowledgeable guide 'Now'. Main headaches are people not being ready at designated times or guide having to repeat information as people not listening. It would be good to have a WhatsApp chat group to convey specific info such as departure times, meeting points so you can double check if need be. Would also make photo sharing easier.

On the whole I think this holiday a little pricey but does not belittle what it offers. One has to remember that this is an Odyssey and not a Tour. It is itineraried to shows as much of this vast lovely country as possible in the timescale allotted. It can be quite tiring with the one night stopovers but does not detract from what is being offered. We all particularly enjoyed the 2 hands on participation in Fes....especially the cookery class 👌
I would be slightly wary if taking the Atlas extention.....provision of basic travel arrangements not exactly forthcoming - provided Moroccan style.

Very active holiday, which I found was quite tiring, especially in the heat.

Excellent local guide.

Suitable hotels ranging from satisfactory to great!

Good transport arrangements, including flights, trains, coaches, minibuses, old Toyota jeeps, horse drawn carts and becaks (a form of 3-wheeled motorised rickshaw!

Buffet meals a little disappointing, but always options and plenty of food. Beer was a reasonable price as well!

The currency takes some getting used to as there are approximately 25,000 Indonesian Rupiah to £1 sterling - many places showed prices without the last 3 zeros! But do note addition of taxes and service charge.

Oh, and I forgot the Komodo Dragons, which were outstanding.

As a Young Chicken of an O.A.P. i was so thrilled to be treated with such kindness and understanding by Cheril who made my booking so exciting. Its probably the last one i,am ever going to make. But i hope not, Thank you Cheril and Wendy Wu Tours. ** LOOK OUT CHINA , HEAR I COME, !

An excellent trip. The guides were very professional and enthusiastic. It was a fantastic experience. A trip of a lifetime.

Excellent tour of hidden places in Japan

This tour was exceptional, everything was organised and our tour guide was the icing on the cake . Such a beautiful destination, we enjoyed every minute .

Good service and friendly customer service. Travel agent was very helpful

Kyoku was an amazing guide - she was actually one of the highlights of the tour. So helpful and patient with everybody- especially my husband. The tour covered an array of interests - something for everyone. Maybe a few too many castles/temples for me but still they were interesting as part of Japan's history. Food was amazingly diverse and the hotels were great. Thank you Kyoku - a great holiday.

The customised bespoke tour was great and we could not fault any of the staff. We enjoyed the company of our Beijing guide Kevin and his driver, Mr. Ho. Coco and Mr. Zhao in Datong were also exceptional people to deal with. All transfers went well and our transfer guides did their utmost to make sure we boarded the right train on time. Special thanks to Levia, who answered all my questions promptly and was extremely helpful in organising the trip. Customising allowed us the flexibility and freedom to enjoy features of a standard tour at a relaxed pace without the hustle and bustle of a standard tour. Also the advantage of staying in one hotel without changing location every day. Also good if you suffer from some disability, which can be catered to by a slower pace and more comfort!

wonderful service and time spent on helping you plan hyour holiday having worked customer service, wendy wu is everything id expect and more

flights are sorted as are meals and the tour mixes the old with the new

Our guide, George made all the difference.

With his gentle guidance his advise and professionallism, united 28 different people to a single course, learning as much as possible about China’s vast history as well as having good time doing it.

I fully recommend this trip as a starting point to visit China.

A superb tour, covering breathtaking scenery, iconic ancient monuments and bustling cities. The pick was possibly the Li River cruise, but there were many highlights.

The evening shows were ( with one exception) extra cost, but....they were fantastic. Book them all if you go.

The chemistry of the group greatly enhanced our time in China, as did our wonderful guide, Grace.

All meals are included : as someone who does not eat Chinese food, I enjoyed it, but the vegetarians in the group struggled.

Downsides: the chaos when boarding trains and finding luggage space; inedible packed lunches; inadequate time to explore some of the sites, particularly the Summer Palace; changes to the itinerary without warning ( usually for logistical reasons).

Despite this : book the tour. Overall, it was magical.

Thank you to Sumi, our tour guide. She was amazing and made our experience of Japan so wonderful.
The places we visited were amazing, from Tokyo and Mt. Fuji, with the highlights for us being the ancient city of Kyoto and Hiroshima, and trips on the bullet train.
The hotels that we stayed in were great, although the rooms were a bit smaller than western style hotels.
The food was incredible, giving us a taste of traditional japanese cuisine along with western style breakfasts.
Thank you again to Sumi, our guide, who made our trip so memorable.
