She also revealed some of the exciting new sides of China attracting attention \u2014 including futuristic Chongqing and the spectacular landscapes that inspired Avatar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it certainly got listeners talking! Questions came flooding into the studio, giving Wendy the chance to share advice on everything from exploring the Silk Road and reaching Mongolia to planning the perfect family adventure in China.<strong> So, if you missed Wendy and Oliver&#8217;s latest catch-up, pop the kettle on and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rte.ie\/radio\/radio1\/clips\/99d3bacc-d3fb-477e-9d90-b4c900ce1d12\/\">listen to the full interview<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coming Soon: Wendy Goes Uncensored!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wendy has been back behind the microphone \u2013 this time as a special guest on <strong>Sail Away Magazine\u2019s <em>The Uncensored Cruise Podcast<\/em><\/strong>, for a lively and candid conversation about her extraordinary journey building Wendy Wu Tours, the changing face of travel and why cruising is becoming an increasingly exciting part of the Wendy Wu story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From her pioneering early days in China to what makes a truly immersive holiday, Wendy also discusses the rise of Cruise &amp; Tour, why combining in-depth touring with time at sea offers travellers the best of both worlds, and what the future could hold for Wendy Wu Tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, as the name of the podcast suggests, expect plenty of Wendy\u2019s trademark honesty and personality along the way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full interview will be released in October, and we\u2019ll bring you all the details \u2013 including where you can watch and listen \u2013 in your next Loyalty Club e-news. <strong>Watch this space!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dinner with Geoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12194\" style=\"width:593px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.wendywutours.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG_3244-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the way back in Covid times, Wendy envisioned a tea party, that would bring customers together during a period where no one could travel. One particular customer, Geoff Kennedy, was so touched by the thought that he invited everyone, including Wendy, to dinner. In the years since Geoff continued to come to our customer shows to meet up with fellow travellers and, on seeing Wendy again, invited Wendy to dinner again. Wendy, naturally, was desperate to take him up on his offer, but with getting the business back on its feet, she was too busy\u2026until now.<br \/><br \/>In September, Wendy travelled up to Rugby with her boys Alex and Warren to have dinner with Geoff and his wife. A lovely time was had by all, and we imagine Wendy managed to get Geoff booked on a few tours over dessert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WendyVisitsGeoffV1\" width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1HLt7GBa3uY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
