"We are never satisfied until you come back and travel with us again" - Wendy Wu, Founder & Chairwoman

At Wendy Wu Tours, we want to know what you think about the service you receive when you book with us and what you thought about your tour itself. It's this vital information that helps us to improve in the future.

With this in mind, we have teamed up with independent review company feefo. Once you have made a booking or returned from one of our tours, you'll receive an email from feefo asking you to rate your experience with us.

We then display these reviews right here, completely untouched by us, so you can trust them 100%.

We were humbled to receive so much positive feedback from clients affected by the onset of the Coronavirus crisis. We hope the positive experience of customers, who still managed to enjoy their tours even as the pandemic hit, shows how wonderful your experience will be once we all get travelling again.



We also have more fantastic reviews from around the globe on TripAdvisor, including many 5 star!

Our Tour: Excellent
Absolutely fantastic, cram packed tour with so may contrasting places and experiences. Walking along the Great Walk and strolling round mountain tops where we stood above the clouds and looked down at the brown Yangtze where it met with its green tributaries. The deep crevices of the rift valley with its shafts of daylight poking through. We went under overhanging boulders and deep dark gorges. Such contrasting features.

We experienced the hustle and bustle of huge cities like Beijing and Shanghai and smaller towns like Guilin with a slower pace. We met Mr. Wong the fisherman, with his cormorants and asked him about his life, a way of life that's dying out as youngsters don't want to fish. They'd rather have city jobs.

I loved the .people's parks and the tea rooms with beautiful traditional music playing in one area and live singers backed by musicians in another part. Whilst visiting a rural settings just outside Guilin with its serene, tranquil, stunning scenery, we stumbled on a village wedding and were greeted with sweeties and peanuts as soon as we were spotted.

I will never forget the magnificent sight of the Terra-cotta army in their original burial sites and close encounters with a few of the warriors preserved in glass cases for closer inspection. And of course watching those lazy laid back pandas strolling around their grounds and leisurely climbing trees.

We went to four shows all very diverse and highly entertaining from the unique singing of the Beijing Opera, to the spectacular water show on the lake and then the jaw dropping acrobats and bikers in Shanghai.

Out on the streets and particularly in historic places, were lots of young ladies wearing stunning , traditional very evocative of a traditional Chinese culture. They were very beautiful.

There was so much more to see but I've already written more than I probably should.

Our tour guide, Alice was very professional with all the qualities necessary to keep us well fed, entertained, safe and well informed. She, along with Wendy Wu made this a trip of a life time. I loved every cram packed minute and crave those delicious banquet meals.

Our Response

Thanks so much for sending us such a detailed and informative review! Alice will be delighted to read this, she is known to be one of the best guides in China and we are delighted to have her as part of the Wendy Wu Tours team. Thanks again for the review, it is very much appreciated. Kind regards, Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

This is a superb tour for anyone looking to learn about the history and culture of China. There are numerous highlights but the Great Wall and the Hanging Temple were particular standout moments. It is a packed itinerary and perhaps one or two half days to self-explore a city/town or enjoy the hotel facilities would have enhanced the tour. All the hotels were of a very good standard apart from the one in Luoyang where the facilities and breakfast were poor. On the whole the food was enjoyable with a few exceptional meals and only one or two below average. More often than not there was too much food at each sitting and it seemed a great shame that it was going to waste. The tour organisation was excellent throughout the journey though perhaps we were fortunate there were only 19 in the group as I think any more may have led to more delays and chaos. All the regional tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful giving an insight into modern day China. In addition our national guide George was exceptional looking after our group as though we were his own family. Overall I would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Jay on the Wonders of China tour -19th September to 5th October 2025- was fantastic,.He could not have been more attentive and any questions or issues were addressed without question. From the start of the trip to the end was seamless. I would fully recommend this trip to anyone and if they were lucky enough to have Jay as a Tour guide then that would be a bonus !!!

The inclusive itinerary is by far great value for money. The person who makes this tour is the guide known as Brittany. She worked 24/7 to ensure everyone was safe and looked after. Detailed information for each person or couple even down to the gates to check in for return flight home. I can not recommend this tour or this guide highly enough. Booking in UK is flexible with different airlines and airports. 11/10

Our Response

We're delighted to read your review and thanks so much for taking the time to submit it. Brittany, will be thrilled to hear of your review and I will make sure a copy of this is sent to her office so she can receive the recognition she deserves. We do hope to be of service to you again and thanks again for writing! Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

China by Land, Japan by Sea

Our Tour: Good
The Wendy Wu, China by Land, section with Ken, their guide was exceptional in all aspects. We would rather not have done the Japan by Sea section. It was a very big ship catering for the Asian market and we considered that both the food and entertainment was no very good. The gripe for us is that the ships organized tours were a bad joke. Very expensive to see one or two temples and then left to sped the rest of the time in shopping areas. We got no feel for the real Japan and based on this experience alone, we would not go back there.

Our Response

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback on your China by Land, Japan by Sea tour. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the China section of your journey and that Ken provided exceptional service throughout , we’ll be sure to pass along your kind comments to him.

We’re sorry to learn, however, that the cruise portion did not meet your expectations. The Japan by Sea element is operated in partnership with the cruise line, and we appreciate your comments regarding the food, entertainment, and shore excursions. Your feedback will be shared with our product team and the cruise partner to review how we can better align the experience with the immersive cultural focus that Wendy Wu Tours is known for.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, they help us continue improving every part of our holidays. We do hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you on another tour in the future, perhaps one of our land-based Japan tours, which offer a deeper cultural experience of this fascinating country. Thanks again for writing, it is much appreciated. Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

Excellent Tour, varied, educational, fast paced. An introduction to a great country which changed attitudes. Our Tour Guide Mark was brilliant; nothing was too much trouble for him. Everything ran efficiently. The eating places were very good. The hotels were, in the main, excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Absolutely amazing holiday. Wendy Wu takes great care of you from start to finish with everything included and a guide who stays with you on the whole trip. We started at Shanghai and then on to Guilin and Yangshuo which for me were the highlights of the tour. Then on to Xian and finishing up at Beijing. There were optional extras available and everywhere we went the food was excellent. I felt we did all the major sights and learned so much about the culture and life in China.

Our Response

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing time exploring China with us. We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, sights, and cultural experiences along the way. We hope to welcome you on another Wendy Wu adventure soon. Thanks again, Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

We had a shaky start to the tour where our friends who we were travelling with were in a different group to ours. We had been told by the company we would be in the same group as there was only one Grand Tour. I am pleased to say this was resolved quickly and we were able to enjoy the tour together.
The tour included so many incredible sights and we experienced different modes of transport. It was almost too much to take in and was a busy time. Our tour leader Jessie and the local guides did a wonderful job at keeping us together and dealing with any problems along the way. By the end of the trip we felt like family.
The hotel accommodation for the most part was good and the food gave us a good taste of Chinese food and different tastes in different areas. We enjoyed the round tables and turntables and made some good friends around it.
We feel we have had a great taster of China but know there are still many more things to see in China.

Our Response

Thank you so much for your review! We’re delighted to hear that, despite the initial mix-up, everything was quickly sorted and you were able to enjoy the tour together with your friends. We’re so pleased Jessie and the local guides made your experience so special and that your group felt like family by the end. We hope this wonderful introduction to China inspires you to return and explore even more with us one day. Thanks again for your review, Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

An excellent guided holiday covering the favourite tourist spots in three weeks. Great food, sights and good English speaking national and local guides. Well organised, with good customer support, and flexibility for flights, and extras like extensions.

It was rather hot and humid in September; probably mid October would be better. Should also be less crowded then. Physically not that demanding except walking up to the Great Wall with steep steps and some patches without handrails.

An excellent holiday to see as many places as possible in a given time without all the hassle of organising it.

Our Response

Thank you for sharing your review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your three-week guided holiday and found it well organised, with great food, sights, and knowledgeable guides throughout.

We also appreciate your feedback about the weather, mid-October is indeed a lovely time to visit, the temperature is a little cooler than in September but it can still be very busy. Thank you once again for travelling with Wendy Wu Tours, and we hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.
