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.

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.

We were so lucky with the cherry blossom and a cloudless Mount Fuji but Wendy Wu did the rest. Our guide, Emico, was superb and the places we visited were fascinating and informative.
I’m ready to book my next holiday with Wendy Wu.

A fantastic experience with an excellent guide (Noriko) in a beautiful country we can learn so much from. Japan Uncovered was full on and had to be to cover the distance and sights witnessed, that said, a bit more free time, especially in the cities could have enhanced the experience.

We had a great time in Japan.Our guide was a gem and certainly made the trip a bit more special .
Hotel experiences were mixed. This also was the same with some meals.
The cost was high and I felt a bit more value for money was required. Maybe an odd excursion over and above the planned excursions would be a bonus .
Loved Japan and the people.
Early part of the holiday we did see 1 or 2 too many shrines .

Our Response

Thanks for your helpful review and I'm really glad to hear you had a great time in Japan overall. It's such a wonderful country, and the people really do make it special.
I'm thrilled your guide was a gem and helped make the trip even better. That means a lot to us.

I've also taken your feedback on board about the mixed hotels and meals, that's not the consistent experience we want you to have, so I'll make sure the team looks into this. And I take your point about value for money, especially when you've paid a fair amount. The idea of adding an extra excursion or two above the standard itinerary is a really good one; I'll pass that on.

On the shrine front… yes, I can see how a few too many early on might feel a bit repetitive! We'll bear that in mind too when planning future Japan tours.

Lovely to hear you loved Japan and its people and thank you again for being so fair in your comments. It really helps us improve.

Best wishes,
