Wendy Wu Tours Reviews

We had an excellent guide EMI,who shared her extensive knowledge of her country which made a great holiday a wonderful experience shared with a fantastic group of people.

Excellent organisation throughout. At 72 years old I found the pace very good, occaionally hard work. Some of the castle stairs were very steep...upto 61 degrees!
Some fair distances covered by coach but itinerary and breaks were well planned.

Covers a lot of ground and sights. A little hectic at times.

Fabulous itinerary and we were very lucky with the weather. Only one day of rain ( late Sept '26 ) Lucky enough to see all the major sights in brilliant sunshine. To see the massive spectacle of Mt. Fuji with a beautiful collar of cloud was breathtaking to say the least. A very full-on trip. Tiring but the group of 28 made it and everyone got on so well together. Our guides English was something that took a while to tune into and her understanding of questions from the group needed a bit of tweaking but she did her job adequately. This was outweighed by the brilliant fun and humour of the group and the itinerary was as I have said top notch so not a huge problem.

Very busy holiday. But you certainly get a taste of Japan. Bonus that all meals are included and are very good with a good range of local and international dishes

The tour gave a comprehensive overview of Japan, especially the main island where most of the places of interest can be found. The visits covered places of interest - Mt Fuji, castles, temples and shrines, gardens, museums and interesting venues for food and drink buffs. The food tended to be mainly Japanese, as one would expect, but there were western food offerings as well. The hotels were mainly city hotels that catered for western travellers and were suitable for the task. A great way to visit a new country, complemented by a brilliant tour guide.

Full review too long to post, however briefly for that amount spent I expected to be transferred to the hotel by taxi, not the local airport bus which dropped me in a multi storey carpark at night. I was travelling solo for over 24hrs, tired, and left wondering around trying to find my hotel. Japanese is not my first language but surely a private transfer isn't too much to ask as all other trips ive taken you are met at airport by the company! Ill be contacting WWu ..

A wonderful and informative tour. It was well organised with a good schedule. The tour guide was excellent.

Never having done a guided trip before we were a bit cautious but decided that to get the most out of this epic trip we would bite the bullet. There were 26 of us 13 Brits and 13 Aussies. Plus our glorious leader and guide Yama . In two weeks we experienced every facet of Japanese life and history. Temples, Tea Ceremony, Snow Monkeys, Mount Fuji, Hiroshima, Sumo Wrestling,Wasabi-Miso-Washi Paper production. All were sampled and some made too. We travelled by coach,bullet train, boat, cable car and on foot. The whole experience was overwhelmingly awesome. From 3-4 hundred year old houses/temples to the modern day skyscrapers of Tokyo we devoured it all. Most of us were 60+ but we all made the grade with people able to bail out if they felt it would be too hard. Friendships were formed and memories we will treasure for ever. Accommodations and meals were superb. Can't recommend this trip enough. And especially our guide.

Take our guide was excellent.
great tour getting a good insight into Japan.

An excellent holiday with a fabulous group of people.
One criticism our flight was delayed and we missed the welcome meal we just about made the bus to the hotel but no provision had been made for a meal. It would have been nice to have been left something in the room as the room service had finished and we had nothing.

Attended a small seminar in Carlisle which was really informative and interesting. Ruth and Phil were most helpful and answered a few questions we had. To follow up I called the number passed to me by Ruth and spoke with Cheryl to make our booking. All excellent staff and a first class service

Japan uncovered was a great experience for both of us. The guide was experienced and informative. We would not have managed so many experiences without the tour. The only reservation we have is that the tour, by its nature, is very intense and so can be a bit stressful. There was so much to cover and most of the hotels didn't really have good facilities for group relaxation after dinner in the evening.
