Majestic Yangtze
This was our first tour and we were extremely impressed by the organisation and the standards. The size of our group (19) was not overwhelming and allowed us to get to know our fellow travellers well. Our guide Jason was absolutely outstanding at his job. He was caring and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour, which added to the experience.

Journey through Jordan
Jordan is a very interesting country to visit. This trip was very good up until Wadi Rum Desert Camp, which was very disappointing. It was advertised as a unique desert camp with ensuite private tents. It wasn't unique (there were several camps); it was hardly a camp with tents - they were cabins/chalets! We had been looking forward to camping in the desert under the stars, but we ended up in a wooden hut with lots of other tourists. The Bedouin hospitality was in fact the locals making us a cup of tea in the desert.
From the beginning of our trip every day had got better and better until we reached Wadi Rum. This experience was a stark contrast to the previous days which had been wonderful - full of historic sites and culture.
The Dead Sea Hotel we stayed in seemed like a hotel of two halves. The Reception area and rooms were very nice, however, the dining area was like a motorway service station with buffet food.
Overall our guide was very good and very knowledgeable.
Wendy Wu looked after us very well; food was particularly good; perhaps one little complaint was cutting short interesting visits to reach restaurants on time.

Magnificent China
Travelling with Wendy Wu was a fantastic way to see China. Ryan was a great tour guide for the whole trip and the individual city guides were very knowledgeable.
Would thoroughly recommend

Secrets of Saudi Arabia
Food and hotels were excellent. Lemon and mint drink is most refreshing and a date smoothie is delicious. Scenery and experiences outstanding. People most hospitable - English widely and spoken and to a very high standard. Go before tourism changes the experience.

Grand Tour of China
I should start with mentioning Frank, our tour guide, who was excellent in not only acting as a shepherd with his "flock" but was extremely knowledgable about places visited and ever so helpful when problems arose such as sickness, emergencies, hospital visits, medication etc. Always patient, good natured and a great sense of humour. This was a once in a lifetime trip and the destinations visited fulfilled all our desires - Xian, Beijing, Dali, Kunming, Yangtze river, Chongqing, ChengDu, Guillin, Yangshuo, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Shanghai, and Hong Kong! It truly was stunning and unforgettable, and exhausting! This tour requires a good degree of fitness as there will be substantial walking involved. It also involves a high degree of transport and frequent packing / unpacking between accommodations. If there was one criticsm I would have to make, it would be able to spend more "me time" in some of the destinations even if this reduces the itinerary.

Journey through Jordan
The first hotel 3 nights was great. 2nd hotel 2 nights was good. Last hotel at Dead Sea was not 5 stars and was really disappointing. All meals until the last day were great. Last day lunch and dinner was in the mediocre hotel buffet style hot dishes were not hot, desserts were not covered despite the flies and the queues for food were ridiculous. It was as if Wendy Wu had run out of ideas. The adult pool was closed, the Lebanese restaurant was closed. Generally the last day was a lacklustre affair which was a real shame

Treasures of South America
The holiday of a lifetime and the best holiday I have ever had. Peru - the Andes, Machu Picchu, Lamas and Alpacas, Chocolate and Pisco Sour, Lake Titicaca and Floating Islands. Buenos Aires - Tango lessons, Gauchos and horse riding. Rio de Janiero - Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach, Carnival experience and Samba. The Iguaza Falls were amazing with the option to view them by helicopter and boat - brilliant experiences. Learning about the different cultures and history was fascinating and visiting Indigenous families and sampling their ancient rituals was a privilege. Al the places visited were fantastic and I cannot pick out a favourite - they were all brilliant.
The Hotels and food were all excellent. We sampled lots of different restaurants and cuisine. Dinner was usually in a local restaurant and included great entertainment.
Everything was extremely well organised and it all ran very smoothly, we did not have to worry about a thing. Claudio - our guide for the whole tour - was knowledgeable and passionate. He looked after us extremely well, he was pleasant, friendly, caring, thoughtful and extremely efficient. He worked very hard and attended to every detail. In addition to Claudio there were local guides who specialised in a particular area and they were all brilliant too. Transport was always ready and waiting for us, and all the drivers were pleasant, friendly and helpful.
It was full on and fast paced, lots packed in and so as expected very little downtime. I found it all very exciting and in my view if you are going to travel that far you might as well do as much as possible.
We have lots and lots of photos, many happy memories and have made some lovely new friends.
Fantastic experience, brilliant holiday and worth every penny - thank you Wendy Wu.

Beyond the Brahmaputra
The river cruise part of this holiday was excellent, with: good service and accommodation; interesting excursions and guides.
The tour to Sikkim and Darjeeling needs some attention.
