Excellent in all respects

All as described. Very enjoyable holiday with good hotels, guides and visits.

Very friendly and helpful. Called me back when they said they would. Answered all of my queries

Mostly reactive rather than proactive. It would have been so easy to send a group email as soon as the issues began in Israel/Gaza saying that they were monitoring the situation. Instead they answered each travellers concerns informing them to follow Foreign Office guidelines, did not instill confidence in the tour company. The tour was hectic with early starts and some late finishes.

The tour is amazing. Jordan is a fascinating country with a rich history and culture. Our guide was excellent. He looked after everyone and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was very good.
Most of the hotels were excellent. The exception was our ‘Deluxe’ tent at Sun City Camp in Wadi Rum. It was apparently and to say it was basic is an understatement. There was great chunks of plaster that had come off the walls in the bathroom. The furniture was extremely old and shabby with peeling veneer. There was no drinking water and we couldn’t use the wardrobe as large rattan chairs were in front of it and there was no room to move them to. The management is rude and unhelpful. We tried to get an upgrade or some sort of compensation but no upgrade was offer and our ‘compensation’ was a can of fizzy drink with dinner. I don’t drink the stuff.
One other complaint is that I had been told that our hotel in Petra would be within a5 minute walk from the site gates but was a 10 minute bus drive away. This may seem a bit petty but I had specifically enquired about the Petra hotel as my husband has some health issues so he doesn’t tolerate heat very well. I was advised that it wouldn’t be a problem because due to the proximity we could return to the hotel very quickly at anytime. As it turned out we had to wait 1.5 hours for all the party to return to the hotel

An excellent holiday in general but a few issues in Jordan over accommodation.

Somecof the days were long but the history and beauty of Jordan was outstanding.

Booking handled professionally, thank you.

Although rated level 1 difficulty by Wendy Wu I found that the lever of exertion in the heat exhausting.

An enriching and well-organised tour which took you to all the must-see sights in the presence of well-informed and helpful national *******.

Good communication called back as we asked for friendly and helpful good to talk to a person rather than rely on a computer. We have done ten similar tours with one of your competitors. Wendy Wu was recommended to us by friends this is the first time we have used Wendy Wu only down side is having to make our own way to Heathrow

Third time of travelling with Wendy Wu

Easy to book holiday.

I booked the Jordan and Israel Discovery holiday. The online booking didnt work (it wouldnt display a departure airport) so i phoned instead. My call was answered very quickly. It was very easy and all complete within a few minutes. I like the on line passenger info form, especially as it asked for a photo of passports rather than manually entering all the data. A lot of info is given in their detailed itinerary and on the website so didnt need to ask any further questions.

We really enjoyed our holiday to Jordan with Wendy Wu, but it fell down on a couple of areas. We had extended our stay to take in Aqaba on a half board basis, but when I queried the meals the reply I got was 'you'll have to sort that out yourself - we can't help'. It took one email direct to the hotel to sort out, so I wasn't impressed with the firm's lack of assistance.

The other part I wasn't impressed with was the 'deluxe' tent at Wadi Rum - it was terrible - cracked glass in the door, windows that didn't fit - staples holding the walls and door decor together - dread to think what standard accommodation would have been like. The 'bedouin hospitality' resembled the worst family wedding party you could imagine - a disco sound system that kept cutting out and the residents at the camp performing the hokey-cokey type dances. I had had visions of authentic bedouin musicians and dancers - how wrong can you be!

All in all an enjoyable holiday and it met all my expectations for sights, but Wadi Rum was a let down and the service of Wendy Wu when you venture outside the standard tour was not great.

Would I travel with them again, probably....
