The lady was very good answered all questions and gave a great service

A superb tour, covering breathtaking scenery, iconic ancient monuments and bustling cities. The pick was possibly the Li River cruise, but there were many highlights.

The evening shows were ( with one exception) extra cost, but....they were fantastic. Book them all if you go.

The chemistry of the group greatly enhanced our time in China, as did our wonderful guide, Grace.

All meals are included : as someone who does not eat Chinese food, I enjoyed it, but the vegetarians in the group struggled.

Downsides: the chaos when boarding trains and finding luggage space; inedible packed lunches; inadequate time to explore some of the sites, particularly the Summer Palace; changes to the itinerary without warning ( usually for logistical reasons).

Despite this : book the tour. Overall, it was magical.

Booking was straightforward and clear and I was able to easily access my booking to add information required.
I can’t comment further until I have been on the tour

An excellent trip, very well organised. This was our first experience of an organised tour and it did not disappoint!! Wendy Wu did an excellent job, guides were knowledgeable, helpful and they seemed genuinely keen to make sure everyone had an excellent experience. Was it tiring? Yes it was because you pack such a lot in. Could we have done it independently- definitely not! Were we looked after well - yes indeed. Hotels were of an excellent standard, cannot fault them. Food was fantastic. Will we ever forget this trip - absolutely not. Do we have more knowledge about China now - yes bucket loads. Most importantly did we enjoy it and would we recommend it - yes to both. Would we book with Wendy Wu again - definitely.

I had 7 other members of my family travelling with my wife and I and we had a great time together. The additional night certainly made a lot of different to start the journey. We had a good Nationsl Guide Sophie who looked after us very well. She cared about the whole group, making sure we had a good time and enjoyed our trip. There was a member who was not feeling well and she spent a long time to make sure he is ok.From the time she met us on arrival till we departed even at 5 am, she got up and said good by to all of us. She was a fantastic guide and I recommend her to anyone travelling with Wendy Wu tour and hope to meet her again someday.

My tour of China with Wendy Wu Tours was magnificent.

I will absolutely be booking another tour somewhere else exciting,

Wendy Wu tour Majestic Yangtze was everything it said it would be and more. For me the Terracotta Warriors and The Great Wall were my highlights and were beyond expectation in reality. Surprise highlight for me was the city of Xi’an and its people, I want to return here. Local guides were amazing but our National guide Jacky was unsurpassable. His friendly confidence and kind consideration meant that everyone’s needs were met and all agreed that we had a fantastic time on this tour. The cruise was exceptional and an opportunity to relax and let the old world pass by. Loved this tour. Very grateful. Big thanks to Jacky!

A busy but very enjoyable holiday. It was an opportunity to visit 4 very different regions in China.
Addison our guide was fantastic. So organised and knowledgeable. His love for Xian especially shone through. The insights into his family life that he shred with us gave an added dimension.
Stephen our guide in Shanghai was amusing and knowledgeable. The visit to the heritage village and the night cruise were particularly enjoyable.
Guilin our next stop was so beautiful. It was a pity that we moved hotels twice but maybe that was the was it was best to fit in the cruise. Oscar our guide started off repeating himself a bit but was soon encouraged to tell us more different information and he became quite endearing. The show on the water was impressive and the Tai chi lesson fun. The Osmanthus ice cream is a must.
Dressing up to visit the square in Xian was fun as well at the dumpling banquet.
The visit to see the terracotta warriors was a highlight. Photos do not do it justice.
Beijing was wet, very wet. It poured. We had been so lucky up until then.
Addison took us to the great wall early. Not only was the weather slightly better then but also it was before the crowds appeared. Our visit to the Summer palace was a wash out.

Julia was very helpful and she answered all my questions.

Excellent tour guides regional and local. Excellent activities during holiday

This is a fully escorted tour, our national guide Andy was knowledgeable, helpful and ensured the tour run smoothly. We saw all the sights/ events as advertised. We enjoyed the food and individual requirements were catered for.
Ithe touris full on with not too much time for individual sightseeing. Starting in Shanghai with a finish in Beijing I think is the best way round. The major sights of Great Wall, forbidden city, Terracotta Army and pandas were all to look forward to in the final week.

From the very start, booking and setting up the holiday was very simple. The Wendy Wu team of people making the reservations and setting up the flights were very skilled and efficient. The itinerary is exceptional with all sorts of amazing places, people and local activities. Another important issue - the tour guide. It was my first time with Wendy Wu but I went several times with Explore. They (Explore) are very pedantic in choosing the best tour guides because the success of the tour is very much dependent on their skills. Well, this time I was impressed; our tour guide, code name Jacky (Zhang Bo Tao) was probably the best tour guide I ever met. Very good English, good diction, clear presentations, full knowledge of the places and their history. He has shown a flexibility in tackling logistical challenges in several instances, adapting to unexpected changes in circumstances. In all places he knew how to minimize our queuing time and maximize our visiting time. He also handled all needs of the group members; some had certain dietary requirements, others had too much luggage, beyond their capabilities to handle. The tour guide took care of all of us to ensure a perfect trip.
The variety of the places we visited made this tour exceptional. Very well organized and very well executed.
One little detail - providing all three meals is the best idea as it ensures hygienic places and makes the use of visiting time more efficient. Other tour providers leave open the lunch and sometimes tour members get food poisoning that spoils their holiday.
I totally recommend the Wendy Wu Tours and this one (Majestic Yangtze) in particular.

An enjoyable if busy holiday, ensuring that we made the most of our time in China.
The guides were excellent, particularly our main guide Aimee, who went out of her way to make sure that we were looked after, and got to where we needed to be.

The China by Rail tour covers so much ground starting in Shanghai finishing in Beijing.The tour is very well organised and fully inclusive of all meals. Takes in all the main attractions throughout China. It's quite hectic and you are constantly on the move. National Guide Franki was first class.
