We were so lucky with the cherry blossom and a cloudless Mount Fuji but Wendy Wu did the rest. Our guide, Emico, was superb and the places we visited were fascinating and informative.
I’m ready to book my next holiday with Wendy Wu.

Absolutely well organised tour and experience of Japan.
Disappointed with the continual
Headcount and wasting time asking adulta of they needed the restroom repeatedly.
Snow monkeys was the main thing and we literally had 25 minutes then had too long in a miso and sake factory.
Some of the etiquetteof meals could have been explained beforehand.
Some of the days could have been given a time and returned back at agreed spot.
Tickets for the skytree only went to first spot not to top of tower which was disapointing.
Not enough free time and if i had known at the time of booking i would have added extra few days for tokyo.
Despite being treated like school.children it was an amazing experience into Japan. While i undestand there was lots to fit in it was very poor the lack of time at the snow monkeys.
Caathy pacific were ace sorting out my missed transfer flight and the buses coaches etc and taxi to the airport was faultless.
Our tour guide was knowledgable but i feel.couldnt converse about things not scripted on the tour.
Mount fuji was a wow even though there had been a landslide and other people made it especially the Aussies.

A fantastic experience with an excellent guide (Noriko) in a beautiful country we can learn so much from. Japan Uncovered was full on and had to be to cover the distance and sights witnessed, that said, a bit more free time, especially in the cities could have enhanced the experience.

We had a great time in Japan.Our guide was a gem and certainly made the trip a bit more special .
Hotel experiences were mixed. This also was the same with some meals.
The cost was high and I felt a bit more value for money was required. Maybe an odd excursion over and above the planned excursions would be a bonus .
Loved Japan and the people.
Early part of the holiday we did see 1 or 2 too many shrines .

Our Response

Thanks for your helpful review and I'm really glad to hear you had a great time in Japan overall. It's such a wonderful country, and the people really do make it special.
I'm thrilled your guide was a gem and helped make the trip even better. That means a lot to us.

I've also taken your feedback on board about the mixed hotels and meals, that's not the consistent experience we want you to have, so I'll make sure the team looks into this. And I take your point about value for money, especially when you've paid a fair amount. The idea of adding an extra excursion or two above the standard itinerary is a really good one; I'll pass that on.

On the shrine front… yes, I can see how a few too many early on might feel a bit repetitive! We'll bear that in mind too when planning future Japan tours.

Lovely to hear you loved Japan and its people and thank you again for being so fair in your comments. It really helps us improve.

Best wishes,
Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours

Our Response

Thanks so much, what a fantastic review to read. I'm genuinely delighted you had such an amazing holiday.

Japan really is a beautiful country, and you've summed it up perfectly: spotless, stunning scenery, plus all that incredible history and culture. It's hard not to fall in love with it.

Really glad you enjoyed the atmosphere too, that's something special that's hard to put into words until you've been there.

Thank you for recommending it so enthusiastically. Hopefully we'll see you on another Wendy Wu adventure before too long.

Best wishes,

Great knowledgable guide, great group of people. Overall Wendy Wu fantastic. Take care of everything. Could have done with a bit more exploring time and or chasing the blossom for good photos.( we did it in our 1 free afternoon in tokyo.)
( understandably no set blossom trip due to nature of timings and weather but no flexibility either - we were a bit unlucky wrong place at wrong time to catch the blossom in its fullness.) Most evenings after the meal it was only 8.30pm. This was a chance to get to know fellow travellers. -( hotel drinks prices double - to be expected!) not always a bar on site. With Very different cultural aspects to consider Wendy Wu couldnt do much to improve. Ill just say.....consider the level indicator in the brochure. Classed as easy (1) it certainly was not, much more physically demanding than expected! Overall a fantastic experience

Our Response

Thanks very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review it's really useful for us and for future travellers.

I'm delighted you had a fantastic experience overall, and that your guide and group made it so enjoyable. That's what we hope for.

A couple of things you mentioned are especially helpful. First, on the blossom chasing, I completely understand the frustration. You're right that we can't guarantee nature, but I take your point about flexibility. We'll have a think about whether there's a little more we could build in around the edges for keen photographers, even when the timing is uncertain.

On the evenings, it's good feedback about hotel bars and drink prices. Not much we can change there, but it's fair warning for others, so thank you.

On the activity level , I really appreciate you raising this. Just to clarify for anyone reading, our Level 1 description in the brochure doesn't say "easy". It says: "A reasonable level of fitness is required and you should expect to be on your feet for much of the day. You'll be getting on and off coaches, trains or boats and walking around the sights, often including steps, plus occasional longer walks." We also encourage everyone to download the full tour dossier. That said, if you found it more demanding than expected, then we clearly need to make the description even clearer so I'll feed that back to the team.

Overall, I'm really glad you still had a fantastic experience. And well done on making the most of that free afternoon in Tokyo for your blossom photos.

Best wishes,
Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours

Loved Japan and I thought the itinerary was excellent - a good mix of castles and gardens, temples and shrines, cities and countryside and activities such as paper making. However the tour was let down by the guide who did not have sufficient English to explain things and answer questions, that was disappointing as I had heard good things about Wendy Wu tour leaders.

A very enjoyable tour. Our guide Noriko was excellent, very caring, very professional. I'm coeliac and the food choice was limited in comparison to the majority of our group. Gluten free bread was rarely available and generally substituted with a bowl of sticky rice and main meals often substituted with more raw fish. I would recommend the tour but offer a heads up to coeliacs before booking

A fabulous tour of Japan lead from start to finish by our excellent guide, Kaori. We were on the move every day and couldn’t have fit any more into the holiday. There were very early mornings and soon nights and lots of travelling. Hotels were excellent and the food was so fresh and varied. Everything was included and we would like to thank Wendy Wu for a very enjoyable and memorable holiday.

An amazing escorted trip visiting a great variety of areas and interesting places showcasing Japan's culture and scenery. So well organised and the tour guide was not only professional but went out of her way to make sure everyone's needs were being catered for. She made it seamless when moving from place to place and all the eateries.
I would recommend this company
