Meet the Team Behind Your Adventures
At Wendy Wu Tours, our team isn’t just experienced — we’re genuinely passionate about travel and here to make your journey unforgettable, from the very first chat.
We’ve explored the wonders of the world first-hand — sailing down the Mekong, gazing over Machu Picchu at dawn, hopping between cities on Japan’s bullet trains, and enjoying home-cooked meals in far-flung villages. These are the places that have captured our hearts — and we love nothing more than sharing them with you.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and just a phone call away, we’re here to listen, guide, and inspire. No question is too small, and no dream too big. Whether you're curious about a destination, wondering what to pack, or simply want to hear a friendly voice, give us a call — we’d love to chat.
Because for us, it’s not just about where you’re going — it’s about making sure you feel cared for every step of the way.

The lesson – always have a go!”
