Wendy Wu Tours

The splendor of Rajasthan is expansively illustrated by this tour.
The itinerary of this tour was very well thought out, with sites/sights including havelis, palaces, forts and temples, which in some well restored cases, were slept in, which really enhances the experience. The busy itinerary left enough spare time for shopping for all but the fanatics.
After Rajasthan we went on jeep safaris into Ranthambore, and saw tigers on both of them.
Then Agra with its splendid fort and the magnificent Taj Mahal
Our tour manager/guide was very passionate about his country and gave great talks on aspects of the lives of normal Indians, while we drove from site to site in a comfortable air-conditioned coach.
This was a very well organised tour with every detail covered, even to the point of providing us with discardable clothing to protect us while we had our own Holi experience, since the Hindu festival of Holi fell within the time-frame of my particular tour dates.
My fellow travelers were among the best I have encountered (Wendy Wu travelers frequently form a very friendly & inclusive bunch)

Good overall view of Vietnam. I felt I was visiting the country 10 - 15 years too late as there was so much commercialisation and new building. Still well worth visiting
Excellent guide who went above and beyond his duties. He tried very hard to help us all with the disruption caused by the Middle East Crisis.
Rather too much food but there was no problem getting vegetarian options and the Vietnamese meals were lovely
The first Western diner we were taken to was AWFUL. That was the one place I had virtually no choice without meat or fish.. The vegetable fried rice I did get served tasted like a packet of dried vegetable rice I might have bought in the UK for under £1. Nearly everyone in the group said the food was poor and the ambience of the place was not good. We all agreed that place should not be used again.
Everywhere we were taken was interesting. The resort on top of a mountain was weird with its replica "European buildings" but the views from the top were stunning and the cable car ride up amazing.
Hu Long Bay was definitely a highlight: the cruise ship was old but quaint and comfy, the small boat trip was very peaceful and had lovely scenery and the caves were great. It was a shame that some of the group remained on the boat, having been put off by the 90 uneven steps. They could have come and spent time on the ( artificial) beach.
It is not Wendy Wu's fault that the British element of the party got stressed when the Middle east conflict disrupted return plans. We had to move hotels but the guide actually walked round the area with us, after the evening meal, helping us find somewhere else. He could have been at home with his family but him being able to converse directly with staff really helped. He even ordered taxis the next day to get us and our luggage taken to the replacement hotel.
Some of our group were offered alternative flights, at a later date than the original, through Doha or Dubai. One pair accepted but, as was almost inevitable, those flights were also cancelled. 4 of the 6 Brits had to pay around £2000 each for a business class upgrade or wait indefinitely in Hanoi
Overall an interesting and fun trip

excellent organisation
Very well done

If you have done tours before this one is slightly different as Cambodia is a small county, with 2 weeks to explore it, this tour is more laidback than most. Febuary was hot 34c (we had no rain) and the tour guide made pervision for this. The excursions started around 08.00-08.30 and we were back at the hotel by 14.30 giving everyone time to chill and relax by the pool before going out for dinner at 18.00h. If you have never been to this part of the world it is busy and interesting, there is lots to see, do and photograph.

The trip was amazing and our guide Vish made it so much better he was absolutely incredible. He made sure every single guest in the trip felt like he was just guiding them. His knowledge and passion for his country and every sight we visited was so apparent. He really made the trip for me and I can’t imagine any other guide being so attentive. Thanks Vish!

Aio, our tour guide, really made this holiday for 19 visitors. She had outstanding knowledge of Thailand which she was able to enlighten us all, some of the best people skills I've come across and she was absolute FUN.

This tour exceeded our high expectations in every way. The itinerary was full of interesting places and experiences. The three local guides Laki, Wang and Bunnak were all outstanding. Our group made great company

The Travel Consultant Jade Moore was very friedly and helpful Tjhe brochure is good.
