We had an amazing holiday, seeing things that we hand only read about or seen on YouTube. We had never been on a group tour before and didn’t really know what to expect. The other members of the group were all great to get on with and our National guide Amanda was excellent and I would like to say how professional and friendly she was. The organisation of all the tours was brilliant and I would definitely recommend Wendy Wu. The local guides were also very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail. We will look forward to booking another holiday with Wendy Wu.

A very good trip made special by our trip guide Amanda. The days were packed full of wonderful trips and there was also an abundance of food at every meal time. The hotels were also of a good standard. I would highly recommend this trip.

Fantastic tour. We loved every minute of it. Our tour guide Amanda was out of this world. Beautiful places to see and wonderful food. Made welcome every we went.
My only complaint was the river cruise boat. The rooms snd bedding got very damp. So must so a lot of us ending up with coughs. I had to go yo my GP when I got home. Chest infection.
Saying that, it will not stop my going on another trip again

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.

Hassle free, bucket list items "tick". Knowledgeable guides. Great accommodation and delicious food. What more could one ask for.

Very professional and answered all our queries.

Friendly, efficient and empathetic service from Arty

I have only just book my first trip with Wendy Wu. The travel consultant was friendly and helpful. Went to their travel show and got a discount. I booked with then because of very favourable reports from friends who had travelled with them

The tour was fantastic from the guide who was very professional caring & understanding. She went beyond what would be needed for a tour guide. In my opinion the hotels were great, local cuisine was fantastic. The only issue was it was very hot and humid not the tour companies‘s fault I would probably pick a different time to travel because the humidity was tough. Everything was excellent and I highly recommend this to up to anyone.

It is simply impossible to pick out the highlight of this trip as everything was so wonderful. The excursions and evening entertainments surpassed anything I could have imagined and will live with me for years to come. The tour guide pulled the group together as a family and ensured everyone enjoyed their trip.

The groups leader, Mr Hoffman, was extraordinarily good. He was helpful, knowledgeable with a fine sense of humour. Mr Hoffman clearly loved his country and shared this passion with us.
Mr Hoffman was able to navigate areas of high tourist interest with skill, allowing us to see the beautiful sights of China in relative peace, away from the usual tourist hustle and bustle, even though this often meant early mornings. Mr Hoffman is a skilled tour guide. He was so responsive to personal needs, finding information and responding to guest’s personal needs. His skills really made the trip for us.
The use of Bullet trains gave us a wonderful opportunity to see China as it moves forward.
The trip, although fast and furious gave us an amazing insight into China, with all the sights we wanted to see.
The trip gives a great taster, leaving us wanting more.
When you go, look out for the amazing toilets, with heated seats and other ‘options’ for personal hygiene!!

Very attractive itineraries, all with clear details about specifics and options. Easy to book. Thank you!

Excellent holiday, very impressed with China. Susan our guide was wonderful. The food was terrific. The trip is go go go throughout so we feel quite exhausted afterwards. I don’t recommend Air China so in retrospect I would want to fly with another airline. However it was a direct flight and most others are indirect.
River cruise ship was nice but it didn’t start sailing till the second day of boarding so it’s really a three day cruise with four nights on board.

jacob the tour guide was very effecient,patient and kind.
beautiful places we visited and knowledge gained. enjoyed the shangai night boat trip looking at all the amazing lights. enjoyed the empress gargen and lake in bejing. the staff on the yangesty river criuse were very sffecient and put on lovely enjoyable evening shows.
