Wendy Wu Tours

This was a great holiday which enabled me to obtain a close experience of living in these significantly different and sometimes challenging environments.
Local guides guides were excellent, knowledgeable and very helpful, accommodation was as good as it could be but was always interesting and meals were tasty and substantial, as is normally the case with Wendy Wu holidays.
The pace of the tour is demanding, but such that any fit and young at heart participant could enjoy without difficulty.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Air fare situation explained well and what the tour included. Also changed the date of departure to two days later for me without any problem

Simply amazing from start to finish! A unique experience of landscapes, architecture and people

Great itinerary that was very well delivered!

excellent, with a few exception on food

My name is Diego Citroni and I took part in the China by rail tour from 7 September to 27 September 2024 with code UK12345678.
Once the trip is over, I want to describe my impressions: It all started around March when searching on Google to show me organized tours in China I came across Wendi Wu's website and while scrolling through the various proposals I was amazed by the China by rail proposal: the locations visited and the length of the tour.
The departure was not entirely easy for me because I discovered that both Alipay and Wechat pay did not work even though I had configured and recognized my credit card from these APPs. Other problem, my credit card was not accepted at ATMs to withdraw cash, luckily, I also had some cash that I could change, as if that were not enough, the Chinese SIM in my possession did not work.
When I arrived in China, I found Mr. Addison and another person that kindly escorted me to the hotel.
The tour was as expected and I had a lot of fun seeing beautiful and interesting things. Of course, not everything can go well, but here it depends only on me, who has a very personal diet, as I do not eat meat from animals with feathers (chicken, duck, turkey, goose, etc.) and I do not eat spicy food. In Italy, there are many Chinese restaurants and Italians frequent them.
Our guide deserves a separate mention; he was always up to his role. He was able to mix and create a group of people from different countries, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, England, Ireland and Scotland, as well as myself, Italy, I don't think I forgot anyone and he was able to organize all the transfers and tasks that arose as the trip progressed.
Personally, I have to thank him because he helped me get a Chinese SIM card. About a week before the end of the tour, I lost my glasses, so I had problems seeing up close.
One evening, when I was having trouble eating dinner, I warned him that I would not go because I was unable to eat food. He came to my room door and brought me some fruit, and if that was not enough, he brought me a pair of reading glasses that gave me back my sight. I cannot thank Mr. Addison enough for all the attention.
Talking with my friends on the tour, everyone agreed that we were lucky to have him as a companion during our trip and that if things always went well, it was all thanks to him.
If I had to give a definition of Addison, he was like the shepherd who scrupulously cared for his flock, making sure that everything was at the maximum level of safety and perfection for all his sheep.
Lastly, he gave us a video where he filmed the highlights of our trip, leaving us with an indelible memory of him and of all of us.
Now I am home, other trips? We will see about the well-deserved rest for now.
Best regards
Diego Citroni

This was a very interesting tour and we covered a huge area and enjoyed a tremendous amount of activities, sites and entertainments. It gave us a real insight into modern China and how impressively it is developing into a super modern country whilst retaining traditional culture and values.
Because China is so vast the tour entailed a lot of travelling which could be tiring, but without which we would not have seen so much.
Special mention must be made of our National guide Jason. He was tremendous; managing a group which included a number of people with mobility issues. Jason was painstaking in ensuring everyone was looked after; nothing was too much trouble for him and he really made the holiday special for all of us. All the local guides were also very good, especially Grace in Shanghai who was lovely.

The basic arrangements were very good, our guides were excellent & knowledgeable. Our tour manager, Gary, was VERY attentive and had a good grasp of English and British humour.
My fellow travellers were a mix of Aussies, Kiwis and Brits - a good mixture and very convivial company
The itinerary covered what you might expect when going to these far out-of-the-way places - we did not feel that we had missed anything - and if you have been to China already (recommended) you will be surprised at the new sights and scenes
The food was excellent/very good all the way through with Gary ensuring that we tried a mixture of the local cuisines available. He also noted what we ate and what we ate less of and was adjusting the selection of dishes provided on a daily basis.
Wendy Wu's staff and arrangements are first class, and I would recommend this tour to anyone who has been to China already and wants to branch out into something a little different, so as to get a more balanced experience of China and its different cultures and landscapes
