"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!

Jewels of Japan is an action packed trip to Japan, taking in most of the iconic sites.
Our guide Madoka was amazing, with a good sense of humour and was very informative about the places we visited.
The hotels were all very good quality as were the coaches used to transport us around.
I liked the fact that the tour introduced us to all the different foods eaten in Japan and the various ways the dishes are served and presented.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience

The holiday was action packed and the tours were well planned. Restaurants we visited were varied and excellent quality. All hotels were top quality with Hotel Clad near Mount Fuji being exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the onsen there.

Everything was well organised and our local guide Mitsy was superb. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our hotels were very good as well as the meals included in our package. For us the 10 days was sufficient to see all we wanted given the days started early and were active every day. We were part of a group of people who came from different countries as well as uk but it took little time for us to bond. We all got on great. There were many differing experiences which includes visits to various palaces, castles, oregano lessons, tea ceremony, noddle making etc. A great holiday

We loved the holiday. Fantastic experience with a real feel for Japanese culture and food. Making our noodles, doing origami as well as visiting some fascinating places. Our guide, Kanako was excellent. She really made the holiday exceptional. Just the right amount of information, always cheerful, and very engaging with the whole group.  Also our guide for our Nara add on day, Sachiko Mori, was excellent too. We really enjoyed our day with her.

Fantastic tour of Japan. Excellent tour guide and organisation amazing. Hotels good, transport good, coaches, boats and bullet train. Very hectic schedule but well worth it. Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima all excellent cities to visit with all meals included at authentic local restaurants and hotels. Japanese tea ceremony, origami and noodle making all excellent experiences. Mount Fuji amazing to see from hotel as cloud lifted especially for us. Lots of temples and museums as part of tour. Food takes some getting used to as lots of raw produce, especially fish. Lovely group of mostly Australians and all got on really well and have made some new friends who we will hopefully keep in contact wil via oyr holiday whatsapp group.

Overall, a fantastic experience. If we had travelled independently we wouldn't have seen or experienced a quarter of it! We had a great guide and lovely travelling companions and had a wonderful time, which fulfilled a lifelong ambition! Thank you!

The added bonus was the meeting of other people from different countries that made up our group. Really liked the practical activities such as making noodles and origami class which helped to gel the group. Well done Kay and Wendy Wu

Exceptionally helpful . I required a tour of Japan to fit with a family wedding. Not straight forward, as I required other non standard requests. Matt my advisor went above and beyond. Highly recommend.

The Jewels of Japan tour was made enjoyable by our guide Arch who did an excellent job. I am a vegetarian so I expected difficulty getting food in Japan. Arch ensured everywhere we went vegetarian food was available for me which I really appreciated. Arch was attentive, well informed and patient with all the tour members. The tour itinerary provided a great overview of Japan. The tour visited all the sites I wanted and some extras beside. The only negative comment I have is the final hotel we stayed in Osaka. The Hotel Monteray was very dirty, shabby and the breakfast was poor. I would not recommend it. Also, perhaps some time could be scheduled for personal exploration, relaxing and shopping during the tour.
Overall. I had a great time and would recommend our tour guide Arch (who was fantastic) and the Jewels of Japan tour.

A lot of places covered in a short period of time. It was a busy and hectic tour- could have done with spending more time at some places and less time at others. The guide was excellent. The meals were included which was a plus point , however for those with dietary restrictions or allergies the food could have been catered for better. The ingredients were not labelled and often we were not informed of what was being served .

From start to finish the service that we received from Wendy Wu was second to none. Excellent customer services before the trip, communication was very clear and when there was a change with our itinerary this was easily rectified by staff at Wendy Wu with very little fuss.

All of the hotels, trips and arrangements during the holiday were again excellent, good locations and our tour guide was very knowledgeable and worked tirelessly during the whole time (big shout out to Hiro!!).

Would 100% recommend anyone to book a trip with Wendy Wu and we would most certainly think again about travelling with Wendy Wu for another trip in the future!
