We had a magical time in China made even better by our excellent guide Cynthia Miao. An unexpected part of the tour was the variety of food the guides chose which turned the tour into a gastronomical delight. Thank you Cynthia and local guides for ensuring a wonderful experience.

Our national tour guide was Mark Wong, he was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, always available to help with any issues. He made the trip the wonderful experience it was. He was the total professional.
Also Cherry one of the local guides (in the one of the photos below) was very good as well, her jokes made us all laugh.
So many highlights, like the Wall, the scenery around the Three Gouges, & the panda bears to mention a few. Great trip.

Absolutely fantastic, cram packed tour with so may contrasting places and experiences. Walking along the Great Walk and strolling round mountain tops where we stood above the clouds and looked down at the brown Yangtze where it met with its green tributaries. The deep crevices of the rift valley with its shafts of daylight poking through. We went under overhanging boulders and deep dark gorges. Such contrasting features.

We experienced the hustle and bustle of huge cities like Beijing and Shanghai and smaller towns like Guilin with a slower pace. We met Mr. Wong the fisherman, with his cormorants and asked him about his life, a way of life that's dying out as youngsters don't want to fish. They'd rather have city jobs.

I loved the .people's parks and the tea rooms with beautiful traditional music playing in one area and live singers backed by musicians in another part. Whilst visiting a rural settings just outside Guilin with its serene, tranquil, stunning scenery, we stumbled on a village wedding and were greeted with sweeties and peanuts as soon as we were spotted.

I will never forget the magnificent sight of the Terra-cotta army in their original burial sites and close encounters with a few of the warriors preserved in glass cases for closer inspection. And of course watching those lazy laid back pandas strolling around their grounds and leisurely climbing trees.

We went to four shows all very diverse and highly entertaining from the unique singing of the Beijing Opera, to the spectacular water show on the lake and then the jaw dropping acrobats and bikers in Shanghai.

Out on the streets and particularly in historic places, were lots of young ladies wearing stunning , traditional very evocative of a traditional Chinese culture. They were very beautiful.

There was so much more to see but I've already written more than I probably should.

Our tour guide, Alice was very professional with all the qualities necessary to keep us well fed, entertained, safe and well informed. She, along with Wendy Wu made this a trip of a life time. I loved every cram packed minute and crave those delicious banquet meals.

Very helpful and easy to talk to. Make everything very clear and understanding.

This is a superb tour for anyone looking to learn about the history and culture of China. There are numerous highlights but the Great Wall and the Hanging Temple were particular standout moments. It is a packed itinerary and perhaps one or two half days to self-explore a city/town or enjoy the hotel facilities would have enhanced the tour. All the hotels were of a very good standard apart from the one in Luoyang where the facilities and breakfast were poor. On the whole the food was enjoyable with a few exceptional meals and only one or two below average. More often than not there was too much food at each sitting and it seemed a great shame that it was going to waste. The tour organisation was excellent throughout the journey though perhaps we were fortunate there were only 19 in the group as I think any more may have led to more delays and chaos. All the regional tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful giving an insight into modern day China. In addition our national guide George was exceptional looking after our group as though we were his own family. Overall I would highly recommend this tour.

We changed the tour we wanted and it took a little work to get it sorted.
We were doing it all over the internet so it was a bit difficult.

This was an excellent tour of China. We saw so much and would love to go back one day. Our tour guide Brittany could not have been better she was a credit to Wendy Wu and China.

Our National ****** China, Andy Shao was fantastic from 1st day I arrived along with others joining the tour. Our Hotel rooms were great, took me awhile to figure out lifts with card to room along with others first night. Others on my tour a great bunch and helpful.
Andy would relay us all at Dinner time for breakfast times and and what time to be on bus. The local guide were great too and helpful. The Coach drivers and bus all good. Andy always counted us re moving on to a new place,and to keep our whispers on when explaining history & how to say local names and places, very informative. Took awhile to adjust to some dishes personally, not others, but great food choices all along for breakfast lunch and dinners. Also Andy always counted us when back on bus which was great as travelling on my own was abit daunting, but all worked out with helpful fellow passengers.
We certainly packed heaps in a days touring and was amazing with the electric cars and bikes everywhere and not crashing into each other. Safe to walk around with all those looking on cameras and police around. Glad to be on a tour though.
Please make sure Andy gets my review, would recommend him and the local guides, but him especially to anyone else who would like to do this tour.
One more review for Japan with Nao.
I and maybe others felt we were rushing to all destinations etc.but nt enough time to see everything in one place, then to much time at other places. Disappointed with some lunch places and food. Also he wasn't as efficient with keeping close with whispers and being visible with flag. I got lost at one place and kept looking out for him,finally found him and 10mins late back on bus.
A nice man, abit over Buddhist temples tho.
Scenery lovely and enjoyable otherwise 😀 also all the way thru trip no rain, only after we left provinces, very lucky.

Tour was excellent.
Made SPECIAL by our tour guide Aimee.
A warm, kind and bubbly personality.
Most definitely an asset to the organisation.
A relatively small group, 17 people.
All well traveled.
Highlights, too many to mentioned.
Tibet stood out for me.
I have to state clearly that all the days were absolutely noteworthy.
Will recommend Wendy Wu Tours to anybody interested.
I am interested in a combined Sth Korea tour or cruise.
Also, I am interested in Sri Lanka and Maldives combined tour or cruise.
Not sure whether your company Wendy Wu does Sth America.
My rating would be higher than 80%.

With kind regards,

Our guide Jay on the Wonders of China tour -19th September to 5th October 2025- was fantastic,.He could not have been more attentive and any questions or issues were addressed without question. From the start of the trip to the end was seamless. I would fully recommend this trip to anyone and if they were lucky enough to have Jay as a Tour guide then that would be a bonus !!!

An excellent trip to China, well organised, excellent itinerary and top class guides.
Accommodation was well.selected, food was great, and the balance of trips was spot on.

An extremely well organised and exciting holiday package. The tour manager, Yang Tao did an outstanding job and he is to be commended for his continued efforts to ensure that everything ran smoothly. This was certainly a fascinating journey. Accommodation was outstanding. My only comment regarding meals is that there should be a more regular "European" style of food available to complement the standard chines cuisine.
Overall, a most memorable holiday. Well done Wendy Wu

Amazing, especially if you’re looking to go beyond the usual sites, go deeper into the culture and history. Well organised and focused, with high quality accommodation and food. Definitely recommend!

The inclusive itinerary is by far great value for money. The person who makes this tour is the guide known as Brittany. She worked 24/7 to ensure everyone was safe and looked after. Detailed information for each person or couple even down to the gates to check in for return flight home. I can not recommend this tour or this guide highly enough. Booking in UK is flexible with different airlines and airports. 11/10
