  • Are children permitted to take part in the tour?

    Yes

  • Are flights included in this tour?

    Yes

  • How developed is Vietnam?

    Although Southeast Asia is developing quickly, it still lacks the international standards of civil infrastructure and tourist facilities. Concepts of personal responsibility are also different to those in the UK. Consequently, tourist and public facilities may not uphold the same safety standards as in the UK; for example, you may see a hole in the road without a warning sign or safety barricade.

  • Are all the relevant entry visa’s included in the price of the tour?

    Yes

  • Are airport transfers included in this tour?

    Yes

  • What happens if I need to change my holiday date once I’ve booked?

    If, after our confirmation invoice has been issued, you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, we will endeavour to make these changes, but it may not always be possible. Any changes to confirmed bookings need to be sent to us in writing via your travel agent. Please refer to our booking conditions for further information and fees.

  • Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?

    Customers booking to travel solo can choose our ‘Happy to Share’ option, which may enable them to share a twin room with other solo customers of the same gender who also request Happy to Share, thus avoiding the need to pay single room supplements. Note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests can be received when you make your booking with us but will not be confirmed until your final payment due date.

  • What documents will I receive before I travel?

    Your Final Travel Documents are usually sent to you 2-3 weeks prior to your departure. Your travel pack will include your tour itinerary, hotel details, flight e-tickets and a travel guide. If you have booked with a travel agent, your tickets will be dispatched to your travel agent unless we have been otherwise informed.

  • Will I be travelling with passengers from other countries?

    Our passengers generally enjoy the mixture of British, Australian and American clients on tour. Occasionally we are joined by English-speaking passengers from other countries.

  • What is 'Happy to Share'?

    Customers booking to travel solo can choose our ‘Happy to Share’ option, which may enable them to share a twin room with other solo customers of the same gender who also request Happy to Share, thus avoiding the need to pay single room supplements. Note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests can be received when you make your booking with us but will not be confirmed until your final payment due date. If a share partner is found, the Single Supplement will be removed from your booking. If a share partner is not found, the Single Supplement will remain and is payable with your final balance in line with our normal booking conditions. Either way, our Operations Team will contact you around 75 days before departure to let you know whether a share partner has been found or not. We regret that Happy to Share requests cannot be accepted within 75 days of departure. Wendy Wu Tours reserves the right to change or withdraw this arrangement at any time.

  • Do you allow children on your tours?

    We allow children 12 years and over on our group tours. We recommend that families with children of any age take advantage of our private or tailormade tours. This will give you more flexibility while on tour.

Tour to be recommended.

Well-organised holiday. All went without a hitch.

Well-organised holiday. All went without a hitch. Very busy schedule with lots of informative insight into the local culture and historical attractions. Standard of hotels during the tour very good as was the food, mostly local fare. Tour guide excellent Schedule may be a bit hectic for some but suited us. Tour to be recommended.

Great holiday in Vietnam

Great holiday in Vietnam. Well planned itinerary w

Great holiday in Vietnam. Well planned itinerary with lots of variety and a perfect pace. Excellent main guide with well-organised handovers for holiday extension which started / ended with overnight train. Good hotels too. Only let-down was food which was too repetitive, too much deep-fried and too bland. However, everything else was great and still deserving of 5 stars. I have already recommended Wendy Wu to friends and will continue to do so

Alan

The tour was thorough in every way we saw all sides to Vietnamese life and culture. The tour guide was excellent he ensured we enjoyed our holiday to the utmost. He was very knowledgeable and shared plenty of his own life experience helping us to understand the Vietnamese people. We felt safe and secure in his charge. We would rate this as one of the best holidays we have ever had

Everything was fantastic, from the booking process to the end of the holiday. Wendy wu reassured me before I travelled regarding the coronavirus, and I'm so glad I listened to them. The tour itself was fantastic, the two guides William and Peter were excellent. All the hotels were first class. The meals were all excellent. I cannot praise Wendy wu enough

Everything about the holiday was first class. The pre-holiday info the visa application, the flights the local guides the hotels the transport, food excursions. Really enjoyed the holiday and gave full written feedback to both local guides in Vietnam. My only suggestion was for a light lunch each day as I am not used to 3 full meals a day!
