Wendy Wu Tours

Wonderful tour: all we hoped for and more. All arrangements went like clockwork, hotels were excellent; food wonderful and more than ample. Pre-tour support was also excellent, including the comprehensive FAQ notes. Our tour guide Michael Jia was amazing and kept us going with his extensive knowledge, enthusiasm, good humour, warmth and cool head. Disappointed we had to limit him to five stars! Local guides were also wonderful and shared their deep knowledge and love of their communities readily. There was a lot of walking both horizontal and vertical and people who have mobility issues would need to think carefully before taking it on. Schedule was demanding and not for those seeking a leisurely, restful tour.

The holiday was well organised and our tour guild was very informative with good English and would always go that extra mile to help you. For myself it was too full on, we had very little free time in must of the places we stayed at apart from Shangai.

Had various questions regarding a 21-day Silk Road trip for May 2027.
Natasha answered all questions professionally and in part based on her own personal knowledge.
She advised that she would need to refer to the local, guide on one question (the state of some of the roads) which could take 24-hours before responding. A detailed response followed well within that timeframe.

Booking was quick and very easy. Not completed a tour yet but if booking is anything to go by I cannot see any problems.

we went to China with them and nothing was too much trouble . highly recommend.

From initial contact to booking we were both very impressed with the way our questions and concerns were dealt with. All information was clearly passed on to us and we never felt under pressure to sign up before we were ready. Friendly and helpful representative, not kept waiting on the phone.

Very efficient as normal
Answered all questions quickly

We really enjoyed this trip. I won’t deny that I was a little apprehensive booking it, re overnight train sharing with strangers and EBC accommodation. The train was comfortable and enough space for 4 in our carriage. Western style toilet on board was fine too. You also get amazing scenery from the train!
At EBC they have electric blankets!! We didn’t use them as the bedding was warm enough. The sunrise over Everest was spectacular, we had clear views and it was a great way to mark my birthday.
All the hotel rooms/beds were very comfortable.
We were a group of 15 ranging in age to 70+ and all coped with the altitude, no supplementary oxygen needed. This was down to following the great advice from our National Guide.
A good mix of free time and guided tours with the local guides, who seem to be experts on every Buddhist temple!
Most meals were delicious but could get a bit repetitive and there was always plenty of food but we never knew how many dishes would be served at a lazy Susan which meant full up by the time the best dish was brought out, usually Yak.
There is a lot of walking/steps so a good level of fitness helps. So pleased we did this trip.
