China
For anyone who is considering a river cruise in China I have just read this review which combines a land tour with a river cruise, it sounds very tiring but fascinating.

Re: China
We considered a lengthy tour, 28 days in total, in China with several internal flights, land tours and riverboat cruising plus extensive City coverage. All the major highlights ( and food ) were included and the price was extremely reasonable, it was with Wendy Woos.
However, the small print revealed a risk in two places about a couple of really weird unpreventable and untreatable tropical diseases ... so Mobietta said ' NON '
ps ... Wendy Woos are the best available in Asia, imo.

China is one place that we are currently looking at (other options are available) and I have been reading some very mixed reviews about Wendy Woos, unfortunately mostly bad - also their prices seem too good to be true.

Re: China
Thanks for bumping this up, as I hadn't seen it before. We are doing a part-similar tour in April, but we will continue on the Yangtze as far downstream as Shanghai. we thought the extra couple of days cruising would be more relaxing after a hectic schedule. We travel with Titan btw, and will happily answer any queries after our return.

Re: China
We obtained our advice from a number of couples from Oz, who we have travelled with a number of times over recent years, who had travelled with Wendy Woos.david63 wrote:Have you actually used them?Manoverboard wrote:ps ... Wendy Woos are the best available in Asia, imo.

As for reviews ... I hear tell that some people even complain about P&O let alone Wendy Woos
ps ... did anybody complain that the wild pandas do not live in the City Centre
If the moans are from North Americans then ignore them, they expect sanitised surroundings even in the rural areas and all their Hotels to be on a par with a Sheraton Grand, Aussies on the other hand are happier to go for a pseudo bush holiday so taking note of their comments would be a more sensible guide.
On tours such as these they will offer the best that is available and that may not be at a level one is used to, but isn't that part of the experience ?

Re: China
We've just had notification from Titan Tours that the China visa cost has increased AGAIN because of the Consular fee ... this is the 3rd time since we booked the tour this time last year
It has now almost doubled in price
