Magnificent China Reviews
1 Magnificent China reviews from past travelers that booked with Global Journeys.
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.
