Creator's Key Takeaways

I think China is a place that everyone should go to. Um, I'm not saying too much at the moment in case people ask and then I'm repeating myself.

I think the customer experience has been diminished considerably under his leadership. And I think that um his involvement with Cunard um, in recent months, I think we're already seeing the impact.

The food quality wasn't amazing. We knew we was going to struggle with the food. I mean, we are fussy eaters. Jay being a vegetarian we're fussy.

I would recommend Wendy Wu 100%. And I felt that way anyway, even though we did have a problem with someone in our tour group.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring a small travel kettle to avoid using hotel kettles.
Be prepared for significant jet lag when traveling to China.
If you have mobility issues, be cautious as many sites involve steep inclines and stairs.
