Wendy Wu Tours Travel Credits are non-refundable, however, where partial refunds are available on a case-by-case basis, we will provide this as an option when we notify you of your tour deferment.

Refunds take approximately 5-10 business days to process providing Wendy Wu Tours has received funds from applicable third parties. Airlines take 8-12 weeks and, in some cases, even longer to process refunds back to customers and tour operators and in which case, we will need to wait for these funds to be received before we can process to you.
