Customer Testimonials
“I have been traveling over 25 years and my trip to Guizhou with Wander China was one of my best, if not the best. Well arranged and executed. My deepest thanks for understanding my wishes regarding our trip and preparing such a meaningful journey among the Chinese ethnic communities.”
“We had a wonderful time travelling around China with an incredible and unique itinerary supported and curated with Wander China. It was wonderful as a first time traveller to China without the language to have their company support us to feel confident in our journey.”
“10/10 experience. Wander China ensured that every need was catered to. We visited a few Bai villages that tourists rarely reach, and explored the amazing nature that Dali has to offer. It was my first time hiking on alpine meadows, which felt completely different from anywhere I had been before. The trip was a great balance of both culture and nature — I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore Dali!”
“Wander China adapted and formulated a personalised tour for me which far exceeded my expectations. The communication and the organisation were exceptional. I cannot fault it. “One of the highlights of my tour (and there were many) were the myriad of activities organised. It was good to not just be a passive observer, but to actually participate in cultural activities.” I came home feeling very grateful for such a well organised tour and certainly more knowledgeable about China and its people, especially those in Yunnan Province. Without a doubt I would highly recommend Wander China to anyone contemplating a trip to China.”
“The accommodation was without a doubt first class – clean, comfortable and certainly of a standard I have experienced in 4–5 star hotels. Safety and security was really important to me and my family. I needn’t have worried though, as my tour co-ordinators were very tech savvy and very familiar with the local culture. I also loved the food in all its simplicity, taste and variety. The Peking duck in Beijing at the local restaurant I was taken to by my lovely young guide was to die for! Their hospitality, kindness and care was truly wonderful and deeply appreciated.”
