Review for China & Tibet Discovery
We had a great time on this tour. It met all our expectations as described in the intinerary. We were a group of 23 aged from 22 to mid 70s and we all got along well. Loved having Jesse, a national guide, throughout the tour who was informative about China and who was calm and organised with the travel arrangements.
The food was good but I felt it was spiced down for western tastes, I would have preferred more authentic local flavours with more spice. The food around Beijing after a couple of days felt bland.
We always had a wide range of food dishes/ choices. So we had a small amount of many dishes. I would have preferred more of fewer dishes.
Enjoyed the optional tours, especially the Romance of Three Kingdoms show on the Yangtze River cruise - a must see show.
China is a huge country, so some travel times are long.
Loved Tibet. Be aware of the impact of high altitude.
Overall a great tour and would highly recommend.

Review for Enchanting China
We chose the Enchanting China tour for our first taste of China - to see some its most incredible sites and most interesting cities, but without too intense an itinerary and with some free time to explore on our own.
First of all, our national guide Frankie was an absolute superstar! He looked after us so well, made everything interesting and was very engaging and knowledgeable. His organisation of the group when getting on and off trains and buses, crossing busy roads and queuing at the busier sites, put everyone at ease so we could just enjoy it without the worry of working out where you needed to be and when. Frankie is so approachable and friendly, it really felt like having him with us throughout the trip was a big part of what made it so fun.
Also a special mention to the fact that he had pre-arranged with every restaurant we ate in as a group, for vegetarian dishes for my wife - having eaten out a few times by ourselves during the trip, we knew this wasn’t always easy to get right, so having Frankie sort it out was really appreciated. She had some amazing food - one of the highlights being a special vegetarian platter of beautifully presented, colourful dumplings after the Tang Dynasty show in Xian.
The local guides we had with us in each city also added an extra level of insight and detailed local knowledge, that helped us get the most out of each place we visited.
Each city offered something entirely different, and the Yangtze River cruise was a welcome relaxing few days to help break up the busy schedule - the service on the ship was also fantastic.
Overall we’d absolutely recommend the Enchanting China tour to anyone visiting China for the first time.
Everything from Wendy Wu in terms of communication, their booking of flights and transfers, and customer service was excellent - we would definitely go use them again for future trips.

Booking Experience for Natural Treasures of China
This is the sixth trip I booked with Wendywu. First reason being they take care of everything and for an " older" person, it means stress free travel. Secondly, the tour guides of Wendywu are all first class . They are knowledgeable and kind and friendly. I have travelled solo and have travelled with a friend from Australia whom I met on a holiday to China.( Wendywu has an Australian office, our arrangements matched beautifully. ) Thank you Wendywu tours.

Review for A China Experience
Completed the "China Experience" tour with Wendy Wu this May visiting Shanghai, Xi'An, and Beijing. This was led by National Guide, Grace Gao, and local guides Felicity (Shanghai), May (Xi'An) and Lee/Li (Beijing). This was first trip with the company and as a solo-traveller on the tour. Met for the first day in Shanghai, as total strangers, and discovered I was the youngest (Late 30s) of a group of 16, ages on average ranged around 50–70 years old for the others.
The tour was fast-faced with a lot to see, which could make it physically demanding. Up first thing in the morning, back late at night, no real down-time or taking things at a casual pace others may entertain outside a tour company.
The tour guides were very knowledgeable, and it was good to hear their personal perspectives and experiences which shaped things for them and the changes that have advanced in modern China. It gave a very real element to the world beyond the facade of simply seeing what is in front of you. Felicity sharing as she watched the skyscrapers go up as a young girl in Shanghai, Grace's experience of when she first went to Xi'An to study before they redeveloped the city, and Lee coming in from the villages to Beijing.
The thing I found from China was that my perspective of 'big' changed. The country is so populous and so built up, it made everything back home just feeling small. The souvenir 'town' outside the Terracotta Warriors alone felt like it was the size of my hometown. Downside, you had to walk through it to get back to the bus.
That was the downside of China, the tourism felt over-commercialized and this really seemed to take a lot of authenticity away from the experience. You couldn't simply enjoy something without it being 10 trinket stalls around it, and 2 inside of it.
Though the tour allowed for some very good opportunities to witness things like the Tang Dynasty dancing, Chinese Acrobatics, and an optional Xi'an night tour which included dress up, and went to a festival filled with other domestic tourists to have a good time and lots of pictures taken of/with (Highlight event of the trip).
Wendy Wu were clearly very experienced on when and where to go to the different venues. Seeing other Wendy Wu tour groups at the same exact places shows they have a formula on how to deliver this, which is used for their other tours they host. The timings also allowed you to experience things before the crowds hit, so when you are leaving, you turn around to see a mass of people, and think "good thing we came when we did". I think that goes to sum up how these tours work, they have everything packaged in a neat box, and you pay to experience it. Wendy Wu tours are certainly not cheap in price, but it is fully inclusive, so you don't need to worry as everything is taken care for you, and they have a high calibre when it came to quality of the tour guides, hotel rooms, and choices they select. They know what they are doing to deliver the experience, from the start to finish.
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and the biggest cons were down to the lack of flexibility in format which is to be expected.
