We allow children 12 years and over on our group tours. We recommend that families with children of any age take advantage of our private or tailormade tours. This will give you more flexibility while on tour.
Customers booking to travel solo can choose our ‘Happy to Share’ option, which may enable them to share a twin room with other solo customers of the same gender who also request Happy to Share, thus avoiding the need to pay single room supplements. Note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests can be received when you make your booking with us but will not be confirmed until your final payment due date.
Although Southeast Asia is developing quickly, it still lacks the international standards of civil infrastructure and tourist facilities. Concepts of personal responsibility are also different to those in the UK. Consequently, tourist and public facilities may not uphold the same safety standards as in the UK; for example, you may see a hole in the road without a warning sign or safety barricade.
Your Final Travel Documents are usually sent to you 2-3 weeks prior to your departure. Your travel pack will include your tour itinerary, hotel details, flight e-tickets and a travel guide. If you have booked with a travel agent, your tickets will be dispatched to your travel agent unless we have been otherwise informed.

Note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests can be received when you make your booking with us but will not be confirmed until your final payment due date. If a share partner is found, the Single Supplement will be removed from your booking. If a share partner is not found, the Single Supplement will remain and is payable with your final balance in line with our normal booking conditions. Either way, our Operations Team will contact you around 75 days before departure to let you know whether a share partner has been found or not. We regret that Happy to Share requests cannot be accepted within 75 days of departure. Wendy Wu Tours reserves the right to change or withdraw this arrangement at any time.

5* Enjoyed the trip
Enjoyed the trip; guides were good, excursions were interesting and informative, some long drives, but we did cover a lot of ground during the tour. If I was nit-picking, the trip to the Ban Khoang village was very forgettable. We left the coach well before reaching the village and then walked through the whole village and back again with little to see. We did visit a house and had rice wine there, but the trip was 2-3 hours long. On the other hand the Cat Cat village trip the next day was excellent with lots to see.

5* I would thoroughly recommend the tour
The tour was very well planned and organised. As we were away for a month we were able to enjoy many local cultures and experiences, rather than just the usual tourist sights. I would thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone wanting an excellent introduction to Indochina
