Today I attended the Wendy Wu Destination Roadshow, where we were shown some of the incredible countries they offer fully inclusive escorted tours to.

🌏 Wendy Wu Tours have been crafting unforgettable journeys for 25 years, winning over 49 awards along the way — so you know you’ll be in safe hands!

I’ll be sharing more soon about what they can offer, but one destination that really stood out for me was China 🇨🇳 — a country I’ve already been lucky enough to visit and sightsee. It’s ever-changing, so it truly deserves more than one trip to appreciate its history, culture, and modern wonders.

From iconic sights to authentic local experiences, their tours are designed to take care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying the adventure.
