REALLY ENJOYED THE TOUR.EXCELLENT ITINERARY AND ORGANISATION WITH A GREAT GUIDE AND ALL THE HOTELS AND MEALS VERY GOOD.I LEARNED ALOT ABOUT JAPAN AND MAY VISIT AGAIN.ONE CAVEAT:WE OFTEN ARRIVED BACK AT HOTELS BY 4 P.M. OR EVEN SOONER AND I THINK ANOTHER VISIT/ACTIVITY COULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON THESE DAYS.

Our Response

Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for choosing Wendy Wu Tours,. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the itinerary, hotels, meals, and especially your guide and that you learned so much about Japan. Your feedback is very helpful: we aim to balance sightseeing with comfort, but I appreciate your point about the early returns to hotels. I'll share this with our product team to see if we can add more flexibility or optional activities on those afternoons for future tours. We'd love to welcome you back to Japan or another destination soon.

Well planned tour. It covered the areas we wanted to visit and have a taste of Japanese cuisine. Language is a problem as very few people speak or understand English so guide is very essential. Wine supply was very expensive and quantity very small for a decent glass. No tipping was mentioned but service charge was applied to wine!!

Our Response

Thank you for your review and for choosing Wendy Wu Tours for your Japan journey. I'm really pleased that you found the tour well-planned and that it covered the areas you wanted to visit while giving you a genuine taste of Japanese cuisine.

You're absolutely right about the language barrier; Japan is easier to navigate with a guide, and I'm glad ours was essential to your experience. That's why we always include expert local guides.

I appreciate your honest feedback regarding the wine. Japan does tend to have higher prices for Western wines due to import taxes, and portion sizes can be smaller than what many travellers are used to. I'll pass your comments to our product team so we can better manage expectations or suggest alternatives in future pre-departure information.

Regarding tipping and service charges: in Japan, service charges (typically 10–15%) are often added automatically in restaurants and bars, especially for drinks. Tipping is not customary and can sometimes even be seen as rude but I can see how the service charge on wine could cause confusion. We'll review our pre-tour materials to make this clearer for future guests.

Thank you again for your feedback.

My husband and I had an amazing holiday in Japan with Wendy Wu. Our guide Yuki was so helpful to the group, she was amazing - providing information about the places we visited, answering all questions, and if someone asked a question she couldn't answer immediately, she would do some research and come back the group with the answer. The bus drivers were polite and respectful, their ability to get the bus around tight corners in busy narrow lanes was truly an art and we would clap our appreciation of their skill in keeping us safe. Visiting 7 of 26 World Heritage sites and all the gardens with Sakura everywhere was fantastic. The hotels we stayed in were clean and well placed, staff were helpful and courteous. The Japanese style meals were fantastic, oishii! Thank you Wendy Wu.

Our Response

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you and your husband had such an amazing holiday in Japan. It’s fantastic that Yuki was so helpful and informative throughout the tour, and that the drivers made you feel safe while navigating Japan’s busy streets. We’re also pleased you enjoyed the World Heritage sites, beautiful Sakura gardens, well-located hotels and delicious Japanese meals. We’re so glad the trip was such a memorable experience.

The Wendy Wu China tour far exceeded our expectations in every way, thanks to our National ****** Addison and the local guides we met along the way. Every aspect of the tour had been carefully thought out and great care taken to provide us with a diverse and interesting picture of China. The places we were taken, the experiences we were given and the culture we observed were fascinating. Each hotel we stayed in on our tour was first rate and we travelled in comfort by coach with first class drivers. I could not recommend this tour more highly as Addison went above and beyond to accommodate everyone in the tour group, always with a smile nothing was ever an issue. Japan was more of a contrast to China than we expected, Sumiko was a great National ******, very knowledgeable about Japan and went the extra mile to ensure we were all happy. My hats off to Sumiko for being able to get the whole group around Japan without any local guides. Even when things came up out of Sumiko's control she managed to find away to work around them. Highly recommend this tour

Our Response

Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear your China and Japan tour exceeded expectations and that Addison, Sumiko and the local guides helped make the experience so memorable. It’s great to know you enjoyed the variety of places, cultural experiences, hotels and comfortable travel throughout. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words, and we’re so pleased you would highly recommend the tour.

My wife and I went on the holiday to China 6-20 Apr 26 and had a really wonderful time. Our guide Linda, really made the whole holiday extra special. Our time was well planned, well organized and well supported with all the extra local guides Linda used for the whole of the holiday. She organized extra shows and activities that gave us a real taste of her country, and the food she chose for our lunch and dinner meals gave us a broad choice of local regional dishes from all the places we visited. For the 2 weeks we spent in China Linda managed to cram in everything I had on my `bucket list`and a lot more besides. China is a vast country with lots of fascinating historic and modern sites to see. The initial cost of the holiday may seem expensive, but once you see what is included in the cost, it is worth every penny. My wife and I enjoyed this holiday so much we are now looking into visiting Japan next year (2027), thank you Wendy Wu for a really great holiday, with lots of wonderful memories.

Both tours had excellent national guides and wonderful tours experiences. The coaches were reasonably comfortable but we were disappointed that the coach windows in China were not clean. The hotels in China were normally 4 star whereas in Japan most were 3 star. The China tour was more strenuous and fast paced.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed both tours and that the national guides helped make your experiences so memorable.
We also appreciate your comments regarding the coaches, accommodation and pace of the China tour, and we will ensure these are shared with the relevant teams for review.

Japan Uncovered was an excellent and well organised tour and Akiko our guide was superb. Only comments would be for more evening entertainment and a few more Western food options for those who do not like fish or tofu.
Gems of China was again an excellent and well organised tour and the options for evening shows gave a the trip a fuller program. CiCi our guide was fabulous and the local guides also added to the whole experience, will recommend both tours to family and friends.
Thankyou Wendy Wu for anther fabulous experience and interesting trip and your Office staff were excellent with sorting out all the questions we had prior to arrival in Japan & China.

Happy with the service I received during my initial booking. It has been very informative. Communication has been excellent.. The only issue I experienced was with My Portal App, I don’t receive any information from the app to inform me that my submitted item has transferred ok. It says it’s submitted whether it’s correct or not.

A full on 21 day tour of castles, shrines, temples, gardens, sights and experiences from the comfort of the trains and coaches.
Our guide Mami San was fantastic throughout keeping a close eye on the itinerary and the group whilst imparting insights and information about the wonderful culture and history of Japan.
The tour takes in not just the major cities but historical towns and places within the 3 main islands that make up Japan. The food was amazing with many different types of food with breakfast, lunch and dinner all catered for and the hotels were really nice. All in all a fantastic way to explore the wonderful islands of Japan.

A bit of a hiccup on day one of the first Ecuador trip created, which I feel sure was rectified on later tours, but otherwise perfect on each and every tour that I have done; China; Japan x 2; Ecuador + Galapagos; Vietnam [though here, too much regarding the war and not enough beautiful scenery for my liking, but fabulous boat trip down the Mekong and in Halong Bay]; and most recently Uzbekistan. I have also booked next year in Kyrgyzstan with Wendy Wu. and have wishes for future trips that Wendy Wu do. They look after you throughout the day from Breakfast through Evening Meal and as I get older, I feel the need for the reassurance and trust they give me.
