What people love about Private Tours in China
- Essence of China (Private Customize)
Fabulous, great for bucket list, so interesting
- Best of China with Avatar Mountains (Private Customize)
The tour was absolutely wonderful. The translators were very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and allowed us to maintain our pace. Sometimes we were slow and making videos, other times we walked at a quick pace. We were treated wonderfully and always felt safe. After hours, the taxis are cheap and with written notes from our translators, we were able to explore on our own safely.
- 12-Dya Beijing to Shanghai: History Meets Disney and Universal Family Tour (private guide & driver）Customizable
This 12-day family trip from Beijing to Shanghai was absolutely incredible! We traveled with our son and were hoping for something fun, culturally enriching, and totally stress-free — and Phoebe from UME Travel absolutely nailed it! She was super patient and always quick to respond, working closely with us to customize the itinerary exactly the way we wanted. We requested all 5-star hotels, and she took care of everything perfectly — even surprised us with a free upgrade to a spacious family room. Such a nice bonus! Our guide in Beijing, Lina, was so warm and knowledgeable. She really brought every site to life, and not just for us — our son was totally engaged the whole time too! On our last day in Beijing, she even gave him a little Great Wall souvenir as a parting gift — such a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to our family. From exploring historical landmarks to having fun at Disneyland and Universal Studios, all while being so well taken care of by the team, this trip gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. We’re so glad we chose UME Travel — and extra thanks to Phoebe for making everything so smooth and special. Highly recommend!
