OUR AWARD - WINNING COLLECTION OF ESCORTED TOURS AND TAILORMADE HOLIDAYS

Fully Inclusive Touring | Groups, Solo & Private Touring | Authentic Experiences

WELCOME I am so excited to introduce a first for Wendy Wu Tours as we expand our global collection to North America! Created by our travel experts, our 2027–2028 Canada & USA brochure features tours exploring majestic mountain ranges, dramatic coastlines, vibrant cities, rich Indigenous heritage, national parks and incredible wildlife. While North America is a familiar destination for Australian travellers, our new Classic Flex range brings a fresh approach. Combining expert local guides and carefully curated experiences with selected free time, these tours bring you closer to the people, culture and history of each destination, with flexibility to explore at your own pace. Within these pages you’ll find our entire collection of North America and beyond. Experience the rhythms of jazz, blues and country music on the 15-day Spirit of the Deep South itinerary (page 48) exploring the heartland of America’s South. For nature lovers, I recommend Great Canadian West with Rocky Mountaineer on page 26, an immersive 16-day journey through the spectacular Canadian Rockies. From exploring Monument Valley with a Navajo guide to following the Charlevoix Flavour Trail in Québec and admiring New England’s autumn colours, let us take you on a journey that inspires, enlightens, and creates memories to last a lifetime.

On our Classic Flex tours, most meals are included, along with signature dining experiences and delicious culinary tastings. Some meals are intentionally left at leisure, giving you the flexibility to choose where you’d like to dine and discover local restaurants for yourself.

We only work with reputable scheduled airlines and of course all your pre-paid taxes and luggage is included in the price. We believe that your flights are an essential part of your holiday experience, and so our carefully selected airlines offer the utmost comfort, allowing you to arrive relaxed, refreshed and raring to go.

All Your Accommodation You can be safe in the knowledge that your accommodation has been selected to best suit the locations you’ll visit. Our group tours feature hand-picked four-star properties chosen for their comfort, modern amenities and convenient location for sightseeing. We occasionally include a stay in three-star plus hotels or lodges where we feel the character or location of the property will enhance your tour.

All Your Guided Touring

Daily breakfast is included at your hotel, while the lunches and dinners we include showcase the best regional cuisine.

You can place your trust in your National Escort, who will help you navigate the quirks and charm of local life with confidence and ease.

Entry Made Easy

The added benefit of our Classic Flex range is that we’ve picked the best spots for independent exploration, with your National Escort on hand to share local recommendations, giving you more choice over how your day unfolds.

The USA and Canada both require an online travel authorisation before you fly. It’s one job only you can do, but we make it easy. About three months before you go, we’ll send you everything you need: what to prepare, how to apply and when. Got a question? Our experienced visa team is here to help.

Your questions answered A selection of our most frequently asked questions.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL Q. What vaccinations do I need? A. Wendy Wu does not give specific health advice, but we do recommend you see your doctor at least six weeks prior to travel for advice and to allow time for any necessary vaccinations. Q. How fit do I need to be? A. All of our group tours are assigned a Physical Rating, with the specific requirements for each tour clearly outlined in the Detailed Tour Itinerary on our website. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for advice. Our Private Tours are also available for those who need a more flexible itinerary.

Q. Where can I find detailed tour information? A. It is essential that you read the relevant Detailed Itinerary before booking, which you can find on wendywutours.com.au, or we can arrange for one to be sent to you. If there are any particular challenges such as the length of time spent on your feet, journey times or accommodation standards, they will be explained in these concise trip notes. Three weeks before departure, you’ll receive your final documents, including a day-by-day itinerary, and a travel guide insert. Q. Do I need travel insurance? A. It is a condition of your booking that you are insured for the duration of your trip. We recommend comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation, medical requirements, luggage, repatriations and additional expenses. Healthcare in the USA and Canada can be very expensive for visitors, so please make sure your policy includes comprehensive medical cover for these destinations. Q. How do I get my visa? A. When you make your booking, we’ll advise you on the latest visa and entry requirements for your destination. USA and Canada tours: Australian passport holders will need an ESTA (USA) or an eTA (Canada) before they travel. These are online travel authorisations rather than visas, which you complete yourself with our full support. To make it easy, we provide a full ESTA/eTA support package, emailed to you approximately 3 months before departure, with our experienced visa team available to help every step of the way. Please visit our website for the latest updates: help.wendywutours.com.au/knowledge

Q. When is the best time to visit? A. North America is a destination for all seasons, with each region at its best at a different time of year. As a general guide, late spring to early autumn (May-Sep) is ideal for Western, Eastern and Atlantic Canada, with long days, mild temperatures and open mountain passes. California is pleasant year-round, with May to October the most reliable for coastal sunshine and for Yosemite. Spring (Mar-May), early Summer (June) and autumn (Sep-Nov) are best for the American Southwest national parks and for the Deep South, avoiding the extreme summer heat. New England is at its most spectacular for fall foliage from late September to mid-October. For a snowy alternative, January and February bring frozen lakes and winter sports to the Canadian Rockies, though temperatures can drop well below freezing. Q. As a single traveller, will I have to pay a single supplement? A. Many of our guests travel solo, so you’ll always be in good company. If you’d like a room to yourself, you can add the single room supplement. Alternatively, our ‘Happy to Share’ option, available on most tours, will match you with a same-gender travel companion, removing the supplement entirely. Please note that ‘Happy to Share’ requests must be made more than 75 days before departure. Q. Will I have a guide with me throughout my trip? A. Yes – on any group tour of 10 or more passengers, a dedicated National Escort will be with you from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart. Smaller groups of less than 10, Private Tours and Short Stays are looked after by our expert local guides at every location. Q. What is the maximum luggage allowance on your tours? A. If your tour includes domestic flights or train journeys, your main suitcase or backpack must not exceed 20kg, with a 5kg limit for hand luggage, in line with local transport regulations. If your tour does not involve domestic flights or trains, your baggage allowance will follow

V I S I T W E N DY W U TO U R S . COM . A U

your international airline’s policy, though we recommend packing only what you can comfortably carry. Q. Will I know which hotels I will be staying at? A. Every hotel on our tours has been handpicked for its comfort, amenities and location. You’ll mainly stay in four-star properties, though we occasionally choose a characterful lodge or three-star-plus hotel where it adds something special to the experience or opens up a more unique destination. A sample hotel list is available on each tour page on our website, with your confirmed hotels included in your final documents. Q. What size are your tour groups? A. Our Classic and Classic Flex tours average around 20 passengers with a maximum of 28, while our Go Beyond tours are smaller, averaging 14 with a maximum of 18. You may cross paths with other Wendy Wu Tours groups at some destinations. Q. Can special requests be arranged? A. For dietary requirements, special occasions or any other requests, please let us know at the time of booking and we’ll do everything possible to help. While we can’t guarantee every request, we’ll always do our best to accommodate you. Q. Do you allow children on your tours? A. Children aged 12 and over are welcome on all group tours. For younger children, our Private/ Tailormade Holidays are suitable for all ages. Q. What currency should I take to North America? A. The USA uses the US Dollar (USD) and Canada uses the Canadian Dollar (CAD). Cards are accepted almost everywhere in both countries, from department stores to roadside cafes, and contactless and mobile payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely used. It’s still handy to carry a small amount of cash in local currency for tips, small purchases and markets. Tipping is customary in both countries, so make sure you have enough funds to cover the tipping kitty and any extra arrangements, as well as personal expenses such as drinks, meals and souvenirs.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

WHILE ON TOUR

Health & Safety

Q. What sort of transportation is included? We use a mix of transport to make the most of your journey. Air: Internal flights are based on economy class, with reputable local airlines. Road: Coaches with air conditioning are used on our group tours for sightseeing and longer transfers where necessary. Cars or vans may be used for airport transfers. On Classic and Classic Flex tours we operate a seat-and-a-half policy on coaches, giving you extra space and comfort throughout, except where a smaller coach is required to access scenic areas, such as California’s Pacific Coast Highway. Rail: Some tours include scenic train journeys, a relaxing way to take in the landscape. Rocky Mountaineer features on three of our tours, while the Grand Canyon Railway, VIA Rail and the Alaska Railroad operate on selected itineraries. Seating and service vary by train, so please check your itinerary for details. River & boat: Some tours include boat trips or ferry crossings. You’ll need to be comfortable boarding and disembarking independently, as handrails and assistance may not always be available. Q. How does the tipping system work on your tours? A. Tipping is customary in both the USA and Canada, but knowing when and how much can be tricky. For your convenience, Wendy Wu Tours operates a kitty system on group tours where your National Escort manages everything on your behalf, ensuring amounts are fair for local people and stress-free for you. The contribution is stated on each tour page and covers all included meals, sightseeing, guiding, porters, and transportation. Any additional tipping is entirely at your discretion. Restaurant tips are typically not included in the bill, so allow around 18-20% on meals not included in your tour. Tips are best paid in cash in local currency (USD or CAD), though cards are widely accepted in restaurants. Q. Are meals included? A. On our Classic tours and Cruise & Tour, all meals are included. On our Classic Flex and Go Beyond tours, most meals are included, with some left free at leisure, so you can dine out locally where it’s best to do so.

On our group tours daily breakfast is included at your hotel, while the lunches and dinners we include showcase the best regional cuisine. Q. Is tap water safe to drink? A. Tap water is generally safe to drink in the USA and Canada, so you can refill a reusable bottle at your hotel and throughout your trip. Q. What are the tour hours? A. Tours generally start at around 8am and end shortly after your evening meal. Occasionally an earlier start is required to meet a flight departure or to visit a sight at its very best.

Your health, safety and well-being on holiday are of paramount importance to us. Wendy Wu Tours is a fully insured and bonded tour operator with comprehensive public liability cover. Working closely with an independent health and safety organisation, our local partners carry out health and safety checks on accommodation, transport and excursions; and works with our destination partners and suppliers towards improving health and safety standards throughout the regions in which we operate. All travellers should be aware that safety standards vary across the different regions we visit and may not match the standards we enjoy in Australia. In the unlikely event of a problem or emergency on tour, Wendy Wu Tours has a Crisis Management process in place to support all of our customers. We also have a dedicated 24 hour emergency support number.

Q. Are there shopping opportunities on your tours? A. North America offers plenty of rewarding shopping experiences, from cowboy boots and music memorabilia to Canadian maple syrup and Indigenous artwork, showcasing the distinct cultures and traditions found across the continent. On our Classic Flex tours, we build free time into your itinerary, so you can explore at your own pace, browse local markets and independent shops, and pick up souvenirs wherever takes your fancy. Your National Escort will be happy to point you towards the best spots. As always, enjoy the experience and shop wisely. Q. Who will I be travelling with? A. Our groups are made up of like-minded travellers from the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, typically ranging in age from 40 to 65, though guests of all ages travel with us. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends or on your own, what everyone has in common is a love of travel and adventure. Q. Can I access the internet and my usual apps in North America? A. Yes. Internet access is widely available throughout the USA and Canada, and all your usual apps, including Google services, Facebook and WhatsApp, work as normal. Most hotels offer free Wi-Fi, though speeds can vary. Mobile coverage is generally excellent in cities and towns, but can be patchy in remote areas such as national parks and the Canadian Rockies. Roaming charges can be high, so check your provider’s international rates before you travel. Many travellers with a smartphone choose an eSIM from providers such as Airalo.

Travelling Responsibly For the last 25 years we’ve been taking groups of travellers to unique and spectacular places, and know full well how impactful, inspiring and horizon-broadening exploring the world can be. Over the years we have been building as many mutually beneficial, sustainable and responsible relationships as possible in the destinations that we visit, so they too are able to thrive.

Local Economic Empowerment

Lower Impact Travel

We believe travel should positively benefit the communities we visit. That’s why we prioritise locally-owned restaurants, hotels, and experiences that support local businesses and create sustainable livelihoods. When traveling with us, you help empower local artisans, entrepreneurs, guides, drivers and so many others, ensuring that tourism leaves a positive, lasting impact.

Respectful Cultural Experiences We are committed to fostering meaningful, authentic, and respectful interactions with the communities we visit. Our tours are designed to celebrate local traditions, honour cultural heritage, and support experiences led by local experts. We encourage travellers to engage with an open mind, follow local customs, and contribute to the preservation of cultural identity in a responsible way.

We are reducing our environmental impact by building more rail journeys into our itineraries, and promoting low-season travel. Trains offer a greener alternative to flying, lowering carbon emissions while providing a more immersive travel experience. By promoting more departures in the low season, we also help ease pressure on popular destinations, support local economies yearround, and create a more sustainable way to explore the world.

Sustainable Tourism Education We believe responsible travel starts with awareness. That’s why we provide our travellers with practical tips on reducing their environmental impact and supporting communities in a meaningful way. Through pre-departure resources and on-tour guidance, we empower our travellers to make informed, sustainable choices that help protect the destinations we visit for future generations.

Animal Welfare Matters
