This was an excellent trip which took us all around the island, we saw history both ancient, modern and recent. Also natural amazing beautiful areas, national parks and a beach resort. We truly experienced a varied and fascinating trip around the island, as well as looking at the indigenous culture .

They answered the telephone in reasonable time. They appeared to be very efficient, and it did not take me long to make the booking. They helped me with a query I had about completing the advance passenger information.

Helpful and knowledgeable service thank you. Cheryl was fantastic, went the extra mile to get us the information we needed so that we could make an intelligent. This will be our second Wendy Wu trip having just had a wonderful Grand Mekong Odyssey vacation with them. Without doubt, very impressed with every aspect of their operation.

The food was as expected for a large group of 26 and a bit ordinary. Hotels were large international ones. The trip focussed on temples and castles and tourist sights, with little chance to interact with Japanese people. Overall, it could have been a lot more interesting, but it was worth going for what it was. Little pension hotels in the country are often a better experience, and small groups eat better because the chef is not cooking school dinners.

Very knowledgeable salesperson

There was a good mix of activities and visits, although the number of tourists at this time of the year was greater than anticipated. Personally, I enjoyed the drumming and sumo wrestling most of the activities.
The scenery was spectacular with very green mountains and actually seeing the top of Mount Fuji while at the phlox festival was also a highlight.
Takayama was a lovely town which was probably worth another day.
On the whole some of the street food was more to my taste than some of the included vegetarian food as I found it rather too bland, but that's just my preference.

Our advisor, Beau, was very helpful and responsive.

Very efficient, friendly and prompt with replies

From the get go Wendy Wu’s has been great throughout with their comms and amazing team of staff. As for our trip we can’t fault it as it was effectively seamless and the guides were just amazing. The food, the excursions and shows were all brilliant and overall China 🇨🇳 just kept giving. I would highly recommend o anyone and you can’t go wrong going with an open mind.

Very easy to book and contact re queries beforehand. Did not spend ages being passed from pillar to post when telephoned

The best priced holiday for India that I could find, as a solo traveller. I asked what airline they were using for this holiday and when I heard it was BA, I asked if I could fly Virgin instead. They instantly accommodated me and got me great seats on my upgrade.

Just got back from an amazing tour of China . We booked China Delights and were so lucky to have David as our guide . From the moment we met him at the hotel until the day we left he was absolutely wonderful . He went above and beyond to make sure our trip was the holiday of a lifetime . We saw so much of China and covered such vast ground. His English was impeccable. Our hotels were lovely , everything we saw was breathtaking. Each day just kept getting better and better. Thank you Wendy Wu for making my dream of seeing China come true and thank you David for being such a wonderful and caring guide and sharing your beautiful country with us .

We had a fantastic time. Our tour guide was superb, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and humorous.
The hotels were excellent and so was all the food.
We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who has not been to China.

Excellent service helpful staff. Looking forward to my holiday next year!

Very extensive, well planned, but exhausting tour. Little or no free time.
Up at 06:00 to 07:00 back to hotel ~ 20:00 to 21:00.

Great guide David, caring, conscientious & kind, nothing was too much trouble for him.

Would have preferred to visit Shanghai's colonial era streets than cross the river to the newly developed area.

Boat tour in Wuzhen would have been more interesting than in Suzhou

I'd have been happier had our tour ended in Xian

High points
1 Evening tour of Xian city centre, full of life, festive lights everywhere, older people dancing on a wide pavement, we all joined in, young singers busking, such a joyous atmosphere.

2 Three great shows,

3 Great Chinese cuisine throughout

4 Jinling Shihu Garden Hotel, Suzhou - beautiful hotel

Low points
1 Beijing first day, thousands queueing in 35°C heat to enter Tiananmen Square, a horror show ! two separate securety passport checks then a further face scan before we could enter. Could hardly see the square for people, who went on mass to the Forbidden City where the crush was even worse - an exhausting, utter waste of time. We'd have been better off looking at a move tracing the history with aerial photos etc in air conditioned comfort. A tour of the cities shopping or embassy area would
have been more interresting & enjoyable

2 Hotels in new high tech areas Chengdu & Beijing, remote from
city centres. Dull surroundings, not that we had much time to explore

3 Dinner at "Irish Pub" in Guilin. Very poor quality food compared with excellent Chinese cuisine throughout. To be avoided.

4 Waterfall Hotel in Guilin - only two functioning lifts for 33 stories. Very stressfull mornings not knowing when a lift would arrive & when one did
if there would be room to get into it. Otherwise a fine hotel, well located.

I think that's enough to be going on with !
