If BBC’s Race Across The World has you dreaming of adventure, travel experts Wendy Wu Tours offers a way to follow the route - without the rucksacks, night buses, or frantic sprints.
Even better? In 2025 and 2026, when booking selected all-inclusive package tours to China and India, your partner can fly for free, and if you're travelling alone, you can get 50 per cent off flights.
As five pairs race 14,000 kilometres across China, Nepal and India in the new series of the hit adventure show, the real win might be booking the trip yourself - and saving up to £700 per couple.
'We’re not here to rush you through Asia,' says Wendy Wu, founder of Wendy Wu Tours. 'We’re here to take you deeper – to help you feel it, live it, remember it forever.'
While the contestants hitch rides and race across the continent, you could be standing before the Terracotta Warriors or watching pandas in Chengdu - exploring at a relaxed pace, with everything taken care of.
No night trains, no border stress - just smooth, expertly guided journeys and none of the mayhem.
And the best part? From 23 April to 20 June 2025, travellers can snap up a golden ticket to the East with a limited-time offer from Wendy Wu Tours: partners fly free (saving up to £700 per couple) and solo travellers enjoy half-price flights on selected fully-inclusive tours to China and India in 2025 and 2026.
The Race Across the World route begins at the Great Wall and ends at the southern tip of India - but with Wendy Wu Tours, that’s just the start.

This Padel racquet has raised lines on the face to assist with topspin. Needs a full shot to work effectively. Once you’ve had a couple of matches you’ll find it has more control than starter racquets. Control and precision is how I’d rate this racquet.
