Our National Escorts and guides will conduct a Health and Safety briefing with you before the tour begins and will help everyone ensure they adhere to social distancing, hygiene practices and local regulations. They will carry a supply of face masks and hand sanitiser for you to use free of charge and will, of course, observe the highest level of personal hygiene at all times.

Vehicles will be spotless and disinfected with disinfectant after each excursion service, overnight and between different groups.


You will always have at least one seat between you and your fellow tourers, hand sanitiser will be given to the group on each embarkation and vehicles will be thoroughly ventilated prior to passengers boarding.


Drivers will always embark on vehicles after clients, disembark the group vehicle prior to clients disembarking and maintain social distancing and a high level of personal hygiene at all times.


Your guides will assess the situation on the ground avoiding large crowds – where possible, alter timings and splitting the group into smaller sizes.


Wendy Wu Tours will only offer hotels that have undergone a detailed hygiene assessment, have specific COVID-19 protocols in place and comply with government standards.


We will ensure these protocols include staff practising social distancing and wearing appropriate PPI, regular cleaning and disinfection of high-frequency touchpoints in all areas and food safety.


We are delighted to recommend Staysure's award winning travel insurance.


Including COVID-19 cover for cancellations, medical expenses and repatriation if you or a family member are diagnosed with coronavirus, Staysure has been voted the UK’s Best Travel Insurance Provider in the British Travel Awards, four years in a row. ....less

Responsible travel is all about minimising the negative impact of travel on the environment, the way of life and the economy of a destination. At Wendy Wu Tours, we are committed to addressing this impact wherever possible without compromising your experience.

We believe that when visiting a place, it is important to not only feel, see, learn and experience, but to also give something back. We do this partly by supporting charities in Asia; and also by supporting local business and enterprise, for example including locally-owned restaurants and shops on our itineraries where possible. This is something that also enhances your holiday, as you get to taste more authentic local foods and see and learn about traditional crafts.

In addition, with Responsible Tourism in mind, for every person who travels with Wendy Wu Tours, we make a donation to a carefully selected charity based in the countries we operate. The following are some of the charities which we are proud to support:

Stepping Stone
With a mission to improve the education and welfare of disadvantaged students in China, this charity provides free English lessons to 4,000 students per week in migrant schools throughout Shanghai.

Visit: www.steppingstoneschina.net for more details.

KOTO
KOTO is a not-for-profit restaurant and vocational training program based in Hanoi whose staff consists of former street children who receive training in catering and life skills.

Visit: koto.com.au for more details.

PEFC
Our brochure contains material sourced from sustainably managed forests, certified in accordance with the PEFC (The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes).

Climate Care
In our UK office, we have guidelines in place to keep the usage of paper at a minimum, recycle most of the paper we use, are sourcing environmentally friendly office and marketing supplies wherever possible, and facilitate alternative and sustainable modes of transport to work.

Wendy Wu Tours has also teamed up with JP Morgan's Climate Care to enable our customers to offset some of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by their holiday and to play a part in tackling climate change. We ourselves are off-setting 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions every year to make up for some of the carbon footprint caused by our office.

Climate Care uses the money generated by this scheme to fund a portfolio of projects around the world that reduces emissions. ....less

See more, do more, experience more!
We have an extensive range of tours across Asia, and pack these tours full of the best sights and experiences. Whilst all of our tours feature your chosen destination's most famous sights and attraction, such as the Great Wall in China, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Taj Mahal in India, we also put in experiences and visits that you wouldn't find on other, run-of-the-mill itineraries. Many of our tours also take you off the tourist trail, with a particular focus on getting you amongst the local people to glimpse their day to day lives. With Wendy Wu, you can also add extra explorations en route to your destinations, with stopovers in places such as Dubai, Hong Kong or Singapore. ....less
