The tour guide is professional and he told us all important information of each scenic spots. I like the 2nd day to visit a vineyard with good vineyard tour and wine tasting, in additional, excellent lunch with starter, main course and dessert, of course, with wines as well.

Well organised, very well fed, hotels good, George our Tour Manager was excellent. My highlight was the Terracotta Warriors - superb. The Great Wall of China was a bit disappointing as I feel we saw the great steps of China instead. No wall to see really, just a lot of steep steps to climb along with several thousand other people. The group of 27 really gelled well and overall had a fantastic time!

Friendly, knowledgeable and well informed staff.

A whirlwind tour of major sites. National Guide was very efficient and managed any problems well - he looked after us. All hotels very good but the negative was that included meals disappointing - the Chinese are proud to say they eat everything on 4 legs except tables - and some of the dishes offered upheld that.

Matt was very patient, kind and helpful. I felt he had time for me and answered all my questions.

The tour was exactly as advertised but didnt explain how much travelling was involved. Not just the trains, planes and boats but also how long it took the coach to get anywhere in cities of over 20 million people.
Fortunatelg we had a very good group who got on well and didnt slow the group down.
Some chinese people were very rude by European standards. Talking through concerts, pushing to get to front of queues etc

A brilliant trip where you get to see a great variety of places and experiences. It is very full on and not the best if you like to take things slowly or are not overly fit. However I would certainly recommend it for anyone enjoying amazing Chinese food and lots of interesting places to visit and excellent guides to inform you.

This was a Wendy Wu Tailormade holiday. We came up with the itinerary and Wendy Wu pulled it all together.

Everything ran smoothly and there isn't anything we would change. Guides were great, transport good, pick-up and drop-offs at airports and train stations were no problem at all.

Impossible to pick a standout highlight - South Korea is a country rich in history and tradition. If you have ever considered going, our advice would be to just book and go.

This is the third tailor-made holiday we have done and we have been impressed with the level of organisation and quality of inclusions.

Wonderful scenery. Food mixed bag, some excellent others too native.

George Pu was our guide. George was most delightful and knowledgeable. George explained how his country worked and its beliefs.
The tour was interesting, however a little more time was required at certain sites, especially "free" time for exploration.

The China by land part was excellent in every way, the guide Michael was exceptional, attention to details such as itinerary, lunches and group dynamics were beyond compare. We had such a marvellous trip in China that words can hardly do it justice.
The Royal Caribbean Cruise was great except for the places we stopped at didn’t do Japan any justice. The trips were overpriced and very underwhelming to be completely honest. This was very disappointing. We know this is on the cruise company and not Wendy Wu but feel they should get this feedback.
On balance the trip as a whole was still good but it is sad that the Japan element means we can’t rate it as outstanding, the China element of the trip was truly outstanding.

Wonderful trip, we stayed in lovely hotels and ate in fabulous venues. Wendy Wu really think of every detail. Highly recommended

Take our guide was excellent.
great tour getting a good insight into Japan.

We were on the Majestic Yangtze tour with Wendy Wu Tours for 14 days in mid-September 2026 and what a trip it was!

All the way from Shanghai to Beijing and so much in-between from a night cruise in Shanghai to such "wonders of the world" as the Terracotta Warriors and Great Wall of China, the cities of Chengdu and Xian as we flew through China's vast countryside on bullet trains and sat in awe of how much and how fast this vast country has changed in the last thirty years. Cities of twenty million or more, sky high apartment buildings adorning every city skyline and hotels as classy as any western ones with the latest technology from robot room service to AI loos with handsets to warm them up or flush everything away. All top class- apart from one or two issues flights with Turkish Airlines and stopovers in Instanbul.



The real highlights however weren't the vast distances we travelled but the people we travelled them with-our multinational group from the UK, Australia and USA-and the entertainment we enjoyed on our gorgeous four night cruise on the Yangtze River sailing through the Three Gorges Dam with the staff providing the evening entertainment and even the Captain joining in, the tours of silk and jade factories, the Forbidden City & the gorgeous Sacred Garden by day and Xian's medieval City Walls lit up by night as well as delicious Chinese food every day served on our "Lazy Susan for all to share. We got a full-on taste of China, its rich medieval heritage and its people today not as we might portray them from western media but as a people as welcoming and friendly as anywhere else and apart from Tinnaman Square free to say-often in English and always very respectfully- what life is like in China today.



It was everything we hoped for -and more. But the Star of our Tour undoubtedly was our main guide Gary (all Chinese guides it appears have an English name) who not only kept us all on time and in line with phrases such as "Gary's Family", "Follow the flag", Sticky Rice (keep together) and "One Dollar" (someone is missing)/ "Two Dollar" (everyone's here) but with his "Chinglish", his inexhaustible good humour (at least one joke a day) and his genuine concern for and attention to detail with all 23 of us. This was more than a 'personal touch' or company training. This was Gary, knowledgeable, caring,funny and always smiling; one, if not, the best tour guide we have ever had and a huge compliment to Wendy Wu who it seems sets the standard as all the guides we met seem to know her personally. Gary and Wendy Wu made our tour of China both special and memorable and for that my wife and I are extremely grateful.

An excellent holiday with a fabulous group of people.
One criticism our flight was delayed and we missed the welcome meal we just about made the bus to the hotel but no provision had been made for a meal. It would have been nice to have been left something in the room as the room service had finished and we had nothing.
