Reviews

Good communications via e.mail and on the phone.

Booked on line - system was easy to follow - would recommend to friends and family

Excellent communication, very helpful

Excellent service from the booking team. They went above & beyond to accommodate our requests which were not available on line.

Excellent guide who was very informative and helpful in all situations. The hotel were much superior to that I had expected - only one was not too good. Another hotel I want to comment on is the Japanese style accommodation even though it was a beautiful location. I found it difficult with the uneven surfaces and the very low bed - I have back problems and found it difficult getting down and terrified getting up during the night.

The content of the tour was great and allowed us to see the normal rural life as well as the religious part. The Burmese people are lovely and so friendly - I hope tourism picks up for them - they deserve it.

My only criticism is having to wait 12 hours (mid-day to mid-night) for a pickup to the airport at Yangon. It would have been better to have left at midnight the previous evening after dinner. I suggest you make it 16 days rather than 17.

I do not know where I shall go in 2019 but I shall certainly look at your brochure for ideas. I would happily recommend Myanmar although my friends tend to stay in Europe.

So well planned and organised. An excellent combination of all there is to do and see in Myanmar. Delightful people and beautiful country. Our guide was exceptional, great fun but really well organised and extremely knowledgeable with superb English language skills. He certainly helped to make the holiday so successful

Faultless. Myu our Myanmar guide was truly amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. He went far more than the extra mile. The drivers were all very safe the hotels were good and all had interesting features. The food was wonderful but really it all came down to myu and all his tremendous hard work ensuring each and everyone of us had an unforgettably wonderful time. I would highly recommend Wendy wu tours. Myanmar was an unforgettable experience. One black mark in Hong Kong we were made take heavy cases and hand luggage down an escalator when there was a lift available , that was down just to the local airport guide. Ever other aspect was truly five star

Product :

It gave a terrific overview of Myanmar. They packed so much in. We were able to see many sides of the country. We were lucky on two counts. One was myu our guide who was absolutely fantastic and the second we were there at festival time

Service rating :

Excellent national guide. Good choice of hotels and restaurants. An itinerary that included all the main sites of interest.

Product :

Great value as all-inclusive. Reasonable group size with excellent guide.

Service rating :

A professional tour of Myanmar from Wendy Wu....Every last detail covered.
Strongly recommended. Local guides used, W.W. used ESP company with George...( not his real name !)...full frank discussions about everything.
It is a very large country with 100 ethnic groups in 14 different states...so really NO problems whatsover. People are very honest and really delightful. Prices are really low for everything....try it now. (people on tour were great too...what a bonus!)

Product :

great value ...well up to previously experienced Wendy Wu value and
Organisation...start to finish!

My recent tour of Burma was outstanding. I experienced amazing activities, sights, hotels and our guide, George was outstanding. Knowledgeable, friendly, happy, nothing too much trouble for him. He was full of enthusiasm. A trip of a lifetime. Definitely recommended. Thank you Wendy Wu

Outstanding itinerary and very good accommodation throughout. We were given every opportunity to experience new things, like Ox Cart rides, Pony and Cart, Horse and Trap, Long tailed boats, Pick-up truck taxis, tri-shaws, cultural shows and more. The people of Myanmar are friendly and welcoming. Our guide was personable, happy and knowledgeable. A wonderful trip. Wish I could have stayed longer.

I booked this very late - once the components of the trip were confirmed back to the agent - Liz Cathcart - she worked with me to get it booked / guidance on visas / flights arranged with preferred airlines etc. Nothing was too much trouble

An amazing tour through an incredible country - it would be lovely if it were a few days longer to allow a little time in places like Kalaw to walk / an additional day at Inle to do your own thing - kayaking / relaxing etc Yangon - as there is so much more to this diverse city to see / visit.......The journey was structured well - though question the trip out to Pyay and back from Yangon - is there no other way to structure to avoid the back track and loss of a day essentially on a reverse trip. Aside from that we saw the main "tourist" trail plus the joy of going to a few lesser known areas - which were an absolute joy and trove of hidden treasures - especially the trip upto Monywa and the Po Win Daung Caves - Kalaw was another stunning surprise. Our guide - Kyaw - was a huge part in making this trip so memorable and his insightful and honest commentary with his obvious love of his country made the trip all the more vivid.

The only slight drawbacks the hotels in Mandalay and especially Yangon - were far from the main city - ok it was only a few $$ to get into town - but it would have been nice to have been more centrally located thus offering the ability to go for a walk in the evening if wanted - cities like these have a different facet in the evenings - I understand the whole "Fully Inclusive" concept appeals to many - it would be nice to be "let off the reigns" at times to make our own choices for meals - and discover a little more for ourselves.

It would be nice if you offered additional extras at time of booking / or have your ground operator offer at the outset eg: Balloon flights in either Bagan or Inle. We did get this sorted but we had to approach our guide & request he sort it out for us, rather than it been offered as an additional. It is a magical experience.

Final bit - may I suggest that you offer the opportunity for a couple of additional days in Yangon - on an "extension basis" - either working with your ground operator to create a couple of day packages - or just to allow self exploration. It is easy to get round - there are several interesting things to do - both in and around - I wish I had had a couple additional days to fit it all in

Well planned and run tour, excellent guides. Weak on administration.

Service rating :

Excellent service and product. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will no doubt return for our third Wendy Wu holiday in the next year or two.

Product :

An excellent holiday that was well organised, nicely paced and very interesting.

Service rating :

Very good guide. Saw all the key sites and a few more.

Product :

Very good. A bit too much emphasis on Budda and the religion. A bit more of the country and wildlife, birds etc would be better for me. A couple of hiccups on transport- plane from Yangon to Mandalay had a bad engine and had to land twice - alterative in place in 2 hours - very ggod. Boat on Irrawaddy broke down but was repaired in again about a couple of hours - no changes to the itinerary - guide was very good at reorganising schedule. It also added to the excitement for me!! Hotels excellent - much better than I expected. One more day on the lake would have been good - a highlight for me

Service rating :

First-rate treatment throughout, by guides, hotels, and transport.

Product :

Multi-faceted, hectic, varied, and non-stop.
