Reviews

The river cruise was absolutely fantastic - truly exceptional service and wonderfully comfortable.
Visiting Sikkim and Darjeeling was very interesting but spoilt for us as the weather was extremely wet.
The guides and excursions were extremely good.
I have only given a 4-star rating overall as the quality of hotels was in general below expectation: the location of the hotel in Kolkata was good but the rooms were a bit dirty and the meals were poor and the Summit North Star Hotel in Gangtok was awful in every way (I note this can be booked online for £22 for a 'deluxe' room!!).
This is our second Wendy Wu holiday (having previously visited Japan) and I would prefer less elaborate/substantial lunches and a slight upgrade in the standard of hotel accommodation to a genuine 4* for all tours.
I would also not recommend Air India.

A most interesting tour which delivered what the brochure promised. The Wendy Wu pre-tour information, however, was out of date with reference to some tour experiences, eg. no food available on the 9 hour train journey north from Kolkata - we were provided with lunch boxes and food could be purchased from vendors who walked through the carriages. Our national guides were very informative, though the India guide was lax in his management style - however, he did put in extra visits which we all appreciated and enjoyed.
