We booked with Arti Gondola.

We really enjoyed our tour of Japan. It was a very good group and Shioji was one of the best guides we've ever had - warm, confident, knowledgeable, encouraging, amusing and always helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for her. It was full-on but we expected that and, being retired, we could recover once home. There were a large number of temples/shrines but, again, we knew that from the itinerary. However, although we have travelled widely, we weren’t keen on most of the Japanese food!

Friendly and helpful

Andy and Keith were excellent and we booked a holiday to Japan. Nice guys too. Thank you.

Throughout the booking process and run up to the holiday the Wendy Wu team were extremely helpful and patient. We joined this tour during the first week in May in Osaka. We flew out a day early and would highly recommend this. It is a very comprehensive, fast moving tour and you need to know this before you go. We were aware as we had done our research prior to booking. You really do get a taste of many aspects of Japanese culture. Our tour was enhanced by the skill and knowledge of our guide KiKi (Ms Kazuyo Takatori) who was extremely knowledgeable and happy to share her knowledge and experiences.
The hotels were of mixed quality. Some were excellent, most were good but a couple were below the standard we expected. Saying that they were clean and comfortable and the beds were good.
Overall we came away highly impressed with Japan and the Japanese people.
The country is well organised, clean, efficient and if you are told something will be done or scheduled, it will be done and will run to time.
We were lucky to spend a wonderful afternoon at the Sumo tournament in Tokyo.
We saw complaints about the food before we went. You do need to be adventurous and adaptable. Hotels served 'European' style breakfast as well as Japanese. You can eat outside of the meal plan at your own expense however, we didn't find this necessary as the overall standard was good.
The only suggestion for improvement would be that optional name badges would have helped us get to know the names of our fellow travellers quicker!
We would definitely travel with WendyWu again.

This was a fantastic trip it was “full on” and extremely busy but we saw a lot of amazing places. Our Guide, Rui was extremely knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He was kind, considerate and very helpful with a great sense of humour. Japan has an incredible culture and the Japanese people are lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would certainly travel with Wendy Wu again.

I have been most impressed with the courtesy, simplicity and speed of the service received. These service standards are rare, and much appreciated.
Also, the best and most comprehensive itinerary of all others considered.

Good and helpful as always

This is a seven star tour
Everything we expected and hoped for and much more

If you want to taste the culture, cuisine and character of Japan this is the holiday for you. Meticulous organisation, a wide range of activities and some beautiful restaurants made it a very special trip. Be prepared for some steps and some walking and you will enjoy the contrast between the mountains and the cities.

Prompt & efficient

This was a fantastic holiday experience. The organisation was flawless and we got a wide range of activities.

Two highlights were seeing snow monkeys and attending a sumo tournament (only available at certain times of year). The tour included all meals and offered a wide variety of Japanese cuisines mixed with more "western" styles.

Our guide, Taki, was amazing. He was always helpful and made it very clear where and when to meet.
