George is a superb National Guide.
Epic, jaw dropping sites, but tour is not without issues. Hotels of a poor standard, especially the first two. Food quite bland. Cruise ship somewhat dated. Tour rating of 1 is not accurate, especially in the hot and humid weather. Some people struggled and missed out on trips.
At least another day needed in Shanghai.

The Wendy Wu (Wendy Wow?) Wonders of China tour was, for us, amazing. We have not been on a tour before so were a bit apprehensive, but you need a tour for China. Everything was organised so well. The guide (Ivy) was very efficient, friendly, informative and made everything run like clockwork. We saw so much and will remember forever this holiday in this wonderful country. We were impressed with communications from Wendy Wu - and their facilitation of visas was brilliant. Hotels were very good (nice large rooms and great breakfasts) and the meals were for the most part very good. Internal flights and trains most impressive and the 4 night Yangtze River journey was a wonderful experience. Flexibility to purchase extra nights at beginning and end was much appreciated, as was ability to depart from our local airport 20 minutes away (connection Schiphol) at no extra cost!

Exhausting trip with little free time, but all the amazing bucket list boxes were ticked. Hotels average, cruise OK (upgrades available), food hit and miss so If Chinese cuisine twice a day for 16 days doesn't suit, bring sustenance.
Addison was a great organiser and very patient. Other guides good too. Factories were not cheap particularly silk. Optional excusions need to be annotated as such (and priced) on the itinerary.
Overall, an enjoyable, busy busy trip and would recommend as some of the many wonders of China were seen.

Everything was organised for you and with a little free time to browse at your own pace and interest. The tour guide went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed and were happy with what we were doing. It was a very varied programme and I really felt that I learned a lot about China. It is an amazing country with so much to see and experience.

We had a fantastic time on the “Wonders of China “ tour. Met some fabulous people who I’m sure will remain friends for life. Our national guide was Ivy who was first class, attending to our every need. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Ivy was always there to assist you in every way possible. Thank you so much Ivy. Make no mistake, this is a busy tour but we enjoyed it immensely. There is a fair amount of walking,with some gradients and at times,steps.But with a reasonable level of fitness,not a problem. The food was varied and delicious,we had a couple of not so nice meals but on the whole the food was great. Hotels were first class with very good choices for breakfast and most were buffet style with a wide choice of Chinese and Western foods. The cruise down the Yangtze was memorable and a chance to slow down and relax. All in all a fantastic memorable holiday which comes highly recommended.

The entire tour exceeded all expectations. Thoroughly looked after from day one. Amazing country, lots of information provided by the local reps and the tour guide (Ivy) was simply outstanding.

Very exhausting trip but managed to see all the must see sights of China. I would have changed the schedule if I could to allow time to change and shower before going out to dinner. Also would have preferred 3 nights in Guilin rather than 2. to have avoided yet another hotel stop. 1 night in Guilin then an overnight in Yangshuo County and then travelling back to Guilin the next day. Be prepared for big crowds everywhere.

Special thanks to Addison, who organi.zed all very well. I really enjoyed most visits.
It would be good if optional excursions were actually optional - to give more time to do one’s own thing, or juxt take a rest,

Well organised tour. Very good guides.

brilliant, well organised tour.
the national guide ,George was excellent but sadly his replacement, due to bereavement ,was not.
most inclusive meals good, but the last night meal was poor.
organisation and execution of visits was first class.
5 stars to George!

Totally excellent. The first few days were quite hard - relentless schedule to ensure we got the most from Beijing and Xi'an - before heading into the country. Slower pace on the river with Guilin the highlight. Returned to civilization in Shanghai. Unforgettable.

Amazing sights, good hotels and travel arrangements. The shows we saw were superb. There is so much to see and learn about Chinese history and culture. Highly recommended.

Helpful and informative

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.
