The tour itself was fine. The meals were the same things for lunch and dinner and after 12 days everyone on the tour was fed up and wanted something different. It would have been nice to have some time to do things on your own, like shopping. It was an early starts every day and then about 1 hour to get ready for the evening meals. The tours were very long winded at times in the very hot weather and people started to walk off. The guide was very good and helpful. Very disappointed that we did not go to the show as advertised. We were told before travelling that the Tonkin show was not running and it would be a similar one. The night before we saw this show from across the river and it looked brilliant but when we were taken to a show it was not the one we had seen the previous evening it was just acrobats which was very boring. Hoi An is famous for its lanterns at night but we never even saw this. Wendy Wu needs to realise that people do not want to know about the very ancient history all the time but would like to see the way of life in Vietnam now. I love history but it goes over your head when there is too much of it.

I did everything on line and it was very easy. I have confidence in Wendy Wu as I have used them for China, Japan, Ecuador and Cambodia/ Vietnam already. I have always wanted to do the Five stans, however a level "5" holiday is too much for me these days. Seeing Uzbekistan was a level "1" and within a capable price bracket and was offering a discount, I jumped straight in.

Arti has been very helpful with my friend and I booking for next year to go to Vietnam. She gave us all the information that we needed to decide and explained what was covered in the price.
I already have recommended WW to a friend at work who has registered with you.

Phone call centre to enquire about additional nights on published tour. Natasha handled all my questions very professionally adding suggestions from her own experience. Called back two days later to book holiday. Different operator but not a problem. All details were on screen with additional flights and hotels. All very smooth now booked and looking forward to my trip.

The staff were extremely helpful when we were booking our holiday and very patient in answering our questions. Nothing was too much trouble and we are really looking forward to our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia next year.

very informative, lady was very helpful

Able to sort out problems efficiently, no hassle, excellent service

Good information about flights, hotels, visa etc. very knowledgeable and friendly advice.

This was an amazing experience from start to finish.
Booking was easy, with super friendly and professional staff who were more than willing to help us with extra flights for a 2 week trip before we joined the cruise.
The Victoria Meekong boat was impressive………new, modern and impeccably spotless with every need catered for. The cabins were extremely spacious with a small private balcony to relax and enjoy the scenery en route.
The crew were so friendly, always happy and smiling, going above and beyond to ensure our every need was catered for.
The food was delicious with breakfast, lunch and dinner included everyday in the package. It was a mix of Western and Asian cuisine and there was definitely no chance of ever going hungry! Hot drinks, soft beverages and beer were available at no extra cost throughout the day and also wine during lunch and dinner.
There were excursions most days ( morning and afternoon) which were entirely optional. As, it was 40 degrees throughout our cruise, we chose to just do one per day as it was completely exhausting in the heat. Instead we took advantage to recharge and relax on the sun loungers, dipping in and out of the pool to cool off.
If I had to be super critical of one aspect of the cruise ( and it did not in the least affect our enjoyment of the holiday!), was that some of the excursions did not meet our expectations. Too many similar experiences and duplications ( temple visits and silk making for example). Also, the floating market was a disappointment and did not look like the picture advertised on the website.
Finally, the Tour Guides we had for both Vietnam and Cambodia were brilliant. Great characters, full of life, funny and extremely knowledgable.
A great trip and wonderful memories made!

Our trip was fantastic. The cabin was very clean and spacious, the food of a high quality and the service was exceptional. The guides who took us out worked very hard to ensure we had a great experience and I would thoroughly recommend the river cruise to anyone who wants to see the real Vietnam and Cambodia, but not have to worry about arranging it independently.

The ship the crew were wonderful we got to see the real side of Cambodia & Vietnam from village life to cocktails at raffles

An excellent guide making a brilliant informative trip.

During touring Vietnam & Cambodia we did a cruise on the Mekong explorer this was in the middle of the tour and was a great relaxing experience in the middle of a hectic tour which we would recommend and always remember

I've travelled in two Wendy Wu small group tours. Vietnam in 2016 and most recently India in April 2024. The itineraries were comprehensive, the hotels and meals of a very good standard and the guides - National and local - superb. I travelled in a group of 28 people to India - a great mix of Brits, Irish, Aussies and Kiwis which really made the trip extra special. Everything is arranged - the only extras you need are money for any drinks, for shopping and some of the optional extras offered like shows or additional excursions. You don't have to do the add-ons as the standard tour is already very comprehensive including excursions but eg in the India tour - the night tour of Jaipur by Jeep and the show at Agra about the the origins of the Taj Mahal were both great and worth the small extra. Any small issues were quickly resolved by the excellent National guide - for India our National Guide was the ever smiling Vishal. A fair number of long bus rides in India but I loved that as it gave me plenty of opportunity to observe the real India as we drove through. I dont think I'll ever quite get over the sight of cows casually strolling everywhere even down the middle of busy roads or how Indian girls manage to sit side saddle on a moped in a sari and not fall off! Coaches were all of an excellent standard as were the drivers - especially the cool, calm Mr Singh who navigated us safely through the Indian road system and some tight parking spots to get us right to the hotel door. Booking was easy, getting visa simple and the itinerary produced by Wendy Wu was very comprehensive. All I had to do was enjoy the trip and the spectacle of India, take literally 100's of photos and not have to worry about getting from A-Z . Thoroughly recommend Wendy Wu as I've two absolutely fantastic and memorable group tours to Vietnam and India now - and Ive just booked a Japan group tour for March 2025. Cannot wait to Wu again!
