"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!

Japan Uncovered

Our Tour: Excellent
This is the second time we have travelled with Wendy Wu Tours and cannot fault them in any way whatsoever and will definitely be travelling with them again in the future. The tour was extremely well organised from start to finish and our guide was with us all the way and really helped to make the holiday perfect. I had a dietary requirement and I was catered for on every occasion above and beyond. The tour takes in all the essence of Japan, its lifestyle and culture. Absolutely perfect in every way.

Silk Road Explorer

Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
5 star tour leader, Luis- Always looking out for group members. Very well organized.
5 star local tour guide, Jackie. Friendly, excellent communication. Sad to see him finish.
4 star other local guides - too much talking and information which will not be remembered, and English not always up to 5 star level.
5 star and wonderful food.- No need to do Pizza Hut lunch or Radisson Hotel steak and chips. Neither up to expected standard. We loved Chinese food.
Cut out the 3 days across Desert. Fly Turpan to Kashgar. What we saw in these 3 days was not interesting enough to warrant the long bus rides.
Three lots of Budhist caves on the tour was overkill. especially the one in Kuqa.
Excellent consideration of toilet stops on long bus rides with good facilities.
Needs a day, mid tour, with no activity in a city where the hotel is close to main shops. End of day after dinner and a long day was insufficient opportunity to fulfill any shopping desires, especially non tourist souvenir shopping. Came home having not been able to buy anything on my shopping list.
Hotels were all excellent and where small fridge (for medication storage) was not in the room, Luis made suitable arrangements.
Almost all the group had been to China before. Guides need to consider this when talking non stop. WWT needs to consider this choosing sightseeing in Beijing and Shanghai. Pre tour questionnaire would enable WWT to plan different sights new to many of the group. Nearly all the group had already been to Beijing.
Beijing on Golden week, weekend was a disaster. Both days were total repeats for me and others and not enjoyed. The crowds were a nightmare. Millions locals sightseeing and enjoying the holiday weekend.
ESim - Recommendations for ESim not to include Airalo. No connection for 2 of us while in Gusan province. Big disappointment. Do not recommend this ESim.
I loved that everything was taken care of and led by a really superb, very intelligent and caring Tour Leader, Luis. Would book with Wendy Wu Tours again.
Thank you. Edreen

Our Response

Hi Edreen, thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and comprehensive feedback about your Silk Road adventure. We really appreciate the level of detail; it's invaluable in helping us continue to improve our tours.
We're absolutely thrilled to hear that Luis made such a positive impact on your journey! He'll be delighted to know how much you appreciated his organisation, intelligence, and care for the group. Jackie will also be pleased to hear your kind words – it's wonderful when our local guides connect so well with travellers. Luis will also be glad to know his arrangements for medication storage were helpful.

Your feedback about the itinerary is really valuable. We understand that the three days crossing the desert felt lengthy for what you experienced, and that multiple Buddhist cave sites felt repetitive. We also hear you about the lunch venues – when travellers are enjoying authentic Chinese cuisine throughout the tour, Western options can feel like a missed opportunity! Your point about needing a proper shopping day mid-tour rather than just in the evening is excellent, and we'll pass this on to our product team. We also appreciate your insights about catering to experienced China travellers. The idea of a pre-tour questionnaire to gauge previous experience and adjust sightseeing accordingly is really interesting, especially for tours where many guests have visited Beijing before. Unfortunately, Golden Week crowds are beyond our control, but we understand how challenging that experience can be. Thank you also for the feedback about the eSIM provider – we'll certainly review our recommendations. It's wonderful to hear you loved having everything taken care of by Luis and that the hotels and toilet facilities throughout met your needs. Thank you for choosing Wendy Wu Tours, and we'd love to welcome you on another adventure in the future!
Warm regards,

Tour was excellent.
Made SPECIAL by our tour guide Aimee.
A warm, kind and bubbly personality.
Most definitely an asset to the organisation.
A relatively small group, 17 people.
All well traveled.
Highlights, too many to mentioned.
Tibet stood out for me.
I have to state clearly that all the days were absolutely noteworthy.
Will recommend Wendy Wu Tours to anybody interested.
I am interested in a combined Sth Korea tour or cruise.
Also, I am interested in Sri Lanka and Maldives combined tour or cruise.
Not sure whether your company Wendy Wu does Sth America.
My rating would be higher than 80%.

With kind regards,

China by Land, Japan by Sea

Wednesday 08 Oct 2025
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
The Wendy Wu, China by Land, section with Ken, their guide was exceptional in all aspects. We would rather not have done the Japan by Sea section. It was a very big ship catering for the Asian market and we considered that both the food and entertainment was no very good. The gripe for us is that the ships organized tours were a bad joke. Very expensive to see one or two temples and then left to sped the rest of the time in shopping areas. We got no feel for the real Japan and based on this experience alone, we would not go back there.

Our Response

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback on your China by Land, Japan by Sea tour. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the China section of your journey and that Ken provided exceptional service throughout , we’ll be sure to pass along your kind comments to him.

We’re sorry to learn, however, that the cruise portion did not meet your expectations. The Japan by Sea element is operated in partnership with the cruise line, and we appreciate your comments regarding the food, entertainment, and shore excursions. Your feedback will be shared with our product team and the cruise partner to review how we can better align the experience with the immersive cultural focus that Wendy Wu Tours is known for.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts, they help us continue improving every part of our holidays. We do hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you on another tour in the future, perhaps one of our land-based Japan tours, which offer a deeper cultural experience of this fascinating country. Thanks again for writing, it is much appreciated. Jimmy, Wendy Wu Tours.

I was given one of their tour brochures by a travel agency and, to be honest, had never heard of the company before.
However, on looking through the brochure at tours I have been interested in for many
years, I found the itineraries both extremely interesting and extensive.
I called the office to ask a general question and had a great conversation with the advisor Arti who was very knowledgeable and passed on lots of additional information in relation to my desired tours. Also informed me of other booking offers currently available.
Subsequently, I called back later and booked 2 tours 🤗

We had a fantastic time! The price seems expensive to start with but when you consider the only incidentals are drinks and extra tours - which were great, especially the shows - and the fact that I would not want to negotiate China on my own - it is good value for money given the excellent service on the ground from the guides, especially Jason for whom nothing was too much trouble.

First experience with them at one of their Roadshows and thought they seem an excellent company…
Had not heard of them before but the presentation was very informative and made us change our mind on a trip we had already seen to book with a different company but after seeing what a great company and how much they put into their tours and the way they look after you with local tour guides etc it was a no brainer we completely changed our minds and booked our trip to China with them and so pleased we have and Julia and the team were very helpful and friendly so glad we found Wendy Wu
