Reviews

Service rating :

It was very good overall. There were many unique experiences such as the Great Wall, Terracotta warriors, and Three Gorges Dam visit. On the Grand Tour we were able to also visit less well know places such as the beautiful Li River and unusual geology of the Stone Forest.
Our guide for the whole trip, Alex, was excellent, friendly, efficient, funny and helpful. The other local guides were also pleasant and informative.
Wendy Wu holidays enable you to visit a country such as China which would be very difficult to do by yourselves, certainly an extensive trip such as we did. Everything seemed to run to plan, such that you almost forget somebody has had to make it happen, for example getting tickets, arranging meals and transport.

It was worth doing a longer tour to include less well known places such as the Stone Forest and beautiful River Li. Wandering around the decorated streets of Dali and Yangshuo seeing shops and markets, and trying out the rice wine, among local Chinese folk was great and felt very safe.
The trip included some great shows and different optional experiences such as the Maglev train.
One or two things I would change- the rickshaw ride around the hutongs was a bit dull (although the meal we ate in a local hutong house was delicious)
I like boat trips but there were maybe too many- I would miss out the Dali lake one, because the West Lake in Hangzhou was better.
All in all a great trip and all held together by our guide, the amazing Alex !
