I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and learnt so much about the country. Our guide was so knowledgeable and explained the history and culture of the region so well. The hotels generally were very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome. My only complaints were firstly that we had no free time, and secondly the meals were far too generous for me.

Wonders of China
We had an interesting and enjoyable tour in China. We could see most of the country's highlights, and we really enjoyed all the excursions and activities that were part of the tour. Our tour guide, Addison, was very professional and knowledgeable about China and its culture, which made the tour even more interesting. Addison also made us feel at home and was very patient in making all our transfers smooth and easy-going.

Well organized trip as always with WW. Nice hotels with helpful staff, very knowledgeable guide who answered any questions anyone had in very good English. Young lady from the London office of WW joined us as our group 😊photographer 👍
Food acceptable but after several dinners of Ploy, the traditional dish complains were made. Bus ,Train and flight all punctual.
All together a beautiful country, magnificent architecture and amazing history. Can only recommend it 👍👍

Excellent tour with a wide variety of experiences including visiting local homes and private boat cruises. Quite a lot of walking though including uneven steos and unmade paths.

Grand Tour of China
This is not a holiday, it is an interesting, educational, cultural experience!
On 6th April 2024 we became part of” Ivy’s family “of fourteen. Four English, one New Zealander and the rest Australian (4 singles and 5 couples), a great combination. Due to jet lag we decided to fly to Beijing two days before the tour started-good idea.
Very few people had any English at all, even in the hotels. They did use translation app’s, to varying degrees of success. Downloading your own before you get to China is a good idea (wish we had).
Ivy, our national tour guide was with us throughout the 26 days. How she got us all from Beijing to Shanghai via three domestic flights (enormous airports with very tight security), three train journeys (gigantic stations) and all the tours without losing anyone was a mystery to us all. She made us all feel safe in an environment alien to ours. Forests of sky-high, tower blocks as far as you could see, cars, bikes, scooters and people everywhere. You couldn’t read anything or communicate.
When we arrived in a place we were met by a local guide, so had two looking after us most of the time.
Food was ordered for us by the local guides and Ivy depending on the area we were in and any group likes and dislikes of food. All dishes were put on a lazy Susan (always plenty, you won’t starve) for everyone to try. We practised with chopsticks before going- good idea, some restaurants provided full cutlery, some hunted round for forks and one had to give extra little china spoons (normally for soup) only thing they had apart from chopsticks!
On this trip you don’t need a scarf for temples or clothes for sleeping overnight on a train. You need layers as temperatures differ. A cotton cardigan was the most useful item. Thin plastic mac, sunhat, lipsil, sun block, mosquito repellent in some areas and a good pair of trainers.
All the hotels had toilet paper. Just remember to take some with you when out and about as few public loos (which are abundant and free) have paper. Some have paper you collect before going into the cubicle. Look out for disabled toilet or potty toilet or pedestal, otherwise you’re in the squat!
We averaged 12,000 steps a day (ranging from 6,000 to 19,000) at a moderate pace. Not all due to the tour, we preferred to walk round rather than sit with a coffee during free time.
Go on every optional shows/tour they offer, as they were all exceptional experiences!
Goggle and WhatsApp (blocked in China) TV in English if you’re lucky. Free Wi-Fi in most hotels.
Thank you to all the Wendy Wu staff for all your excellent organisation. All the local guides (especially Max and Bell) who introduced us to their home areas. Our very special thanks to Ivy.
