A fully packed holiday which did live up to expectations and exceeded by the prescence of an excellent guide who was with us throughout the holiday.

I would recommend this holiday to anyone who would like to see Vietnam in a very condensed period of time

An absolutely amazing adventure with a great group of people and an amazing guide in Vietnam - Kim !
This was my first solo holiday and I would not hesitate to go on another Wendy Wu tour but this will take some beating !
We saw Vietnam essentially from top to bottom . From the bustle of Hanoi to the peace of the Panhou retreat just 30km from the Chinese border to the majesty of Halong Bay . Then onto Hoi An and Hue both so different but both equally memorable . Then Saigon - a Vespa tour is an essential for everyone - and the time to reflect on what we saw in the Cu chi tunnels and the war remnants museum . And then onto the Mekong delta for an overnight stop in Ben tre
The walking in Hoang Su Phi was not as challenging as the itinerary might have suggested and I chickened out of the cycling ! The hotels were all well situated and all of a more than acceptable standard - the most important part was the beds as certainly needed good nights sleep to keep up with the adventure .
The group was sad to leave Vietnam and Kim who as I have already said was amazing at looking after us and was full of amazing stories and shared his experiences with us .
However we still had Cambodia to visit and I guess my only criticism of the whole trip was it should have been slightly longer to give us a bit more time in Cambodia . The Angkor Wat complex was amazing as was the visit the following day to the village on stilts . Our guide Chet obviously had a hard act to follow but again he was great !
My highlights - the retreat , walking in the mountains , Halong bay , the bamboo circus in Hoi An and the mad ride on coracle boats , the Vespa tour ,eating and drinking fresh coconut in the Mekong the Angkor complex and the Phare Circus !
A truly amazing adventure

Efficient, knowledgable and friendly - very good indeed

This was a holiday of a life time for me. I researched for holidays in Cambodia for a while and decided to book with Wendy Wu Tours as it incorporated Vietnam too. Both the countries were amazing, their people, cuisine and historical buildings were incredible. The guides for both countries were extremely knowledgeable about current affairs and the history and made the whole travel experience feel seamless. My fellow travellers were also great fun and helped with making the holiday enjoyable. I had such an amazing experience that when I got back to the UK, I booked next years holiday with Wendy Wu.

It was a magical holiday. As a fairly recent widower I was concerned about being one of only three singletons but this was not to be as everyone was really friendly - 'A good bunch of Brits and Aussies!'.
Observations/Comments:
* Slightly disappointed in the 'Sabi River Sun Resort' hotel compared to all the others but understand this was a rescheduled venue for some reason and it was for only one night.
* Lizwe Ndlovu was an excellet ****** for the first part of the tour however disappointed by Nabeel Daniels who was the ****** from Port Elizabeth through to the end of the holiday:
- he made no attempt to get to know 'who was who'. This became evident when one person missing on a 'head count'.
- he did not represent Wendy Wu well in appearance wearing 'joggers' for most of the time and only a 'WW' poloshirt on our arrival at Port Elizabeth and on departure day.
- no formal 'goodbyes' for those leaving at different times.
- he kept reminding us to provide a good review!
* As an observation the double wine tour together with the final night event at 'Gold' was a bit much for the final day even though all much enjoyed.
A great trip and I'll be back for another 'WW' tour - last year was Vietnam and Cambodia (incl Mekong Cruise).
