Grand Tour of China   Grand Tour of China , QLD, Australia, May 2025
This trip could have been titled the Grand Tour of Chinese icons and Gardens. From the Great Wall to Terracotta Warriors to High Speed trains and the inspiring night lights of Xi’an and Shanghai, the trip had it all. Every city we visited had inspiring gardens. Our Wendy Wu guide, Grace, was like a mother to us all make sure everything ran smoothly read more and trying to anticipate the groups every need and question. She moulded us into her our family with her attention to detail and slight timing changes to the itinerary to ensure the trip ran smoothly. Being a repeat customer of Global Journeys this trip once again reminded us that the booking practice doesn’t need to be stressful, from initial quote to final payment everything was again handled smoothly, promptly and professionally. Thanks again Global Journeys and particularly Hannah.
It was Magnificent China...   Magnificent China , NSW, Australia, Mar 2025
We recently returned back to Australia after our 22 day Magnificent China Tour with Wendy Wu. It was a fantastic trip and was one of the better overseas holidays that we have had. Wendy Wu provided a National Escort "Amanda" who was with us at all times. She was a fantastic guide with a funny sense of humour. Along with Amanda, there was a specialist read more local region guide for every major city. Highlights for us included the Great Wall at Beijing, the lovely city of Xian and the terracotta warriors, panda bears at Chengdu, cruising the Yangtze River and the modern city of Shanghai just to name a few. The accommodation was all of a good standard staying at lovely hotels. We travelled in March/April and the weather was fantastic. I would probably avoid travelling in their summer as it does get extremely hot. Another good time to travel would be in their autumn around September/October.

Due to the fact that Wendy Wu is also based in Britain, we had a great mix of British, Australian and a New Zealander totalling 20 people and it was a great bunch to travel with and we have made many new friends.

Just a few tips before travelling to China, do a little bit of homework on sim cards or e-sims and try to get ones with a built in VPN before you arrrive in China. Also cash is not used very often in China and overseas credit cards are generally not accepted. We downloaded Alipay in Australia and used this app for most transactions. You do need a reliable internet connection for Alipay to work properly.

A huge thankyou to Rachael from Global Journeys who once again looked after our booking and organised all the extras that we asked for. She is always available for a chat and answers emails promptly. China indeed was a great surprise and the people are lovely and friendly (but be prepared for big crowds). We highly recommend travelling with Wendy Wu and booking through Global Journeys.
Wild Mongolia Wild Mongolia , VIC, Australia, Aug 2024
We had a good mix of ages from mid twenties to mid seventies. It is a real life experience. Go with an open mind and make the best of what is on offer. Do not expect all the mod cons as the title suggests "Wild Mongolia".
Wild Mongolia Wild Mongolia , VIC, Australia, Jun 2024
Perfect tour to see the varied landscapes of Mongolia - it's not just desert. The locals were welcoming and the tour guide and drivers saw us through some long drives-be prepared for some off road experiences.
Amazing adventure in Mongolia Nomadic Mongolia , Australia, Jun 2022
What an incredible experience this journey through Mongolia was. A lot of long driving days but such an amazing country with wonderful people. Our guide Oogi was one of the best guides I've ever had (and I've been on a lot of tours). Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting an adventure out of the ordinary.
