    Phoebe was AMAZING!!!! Phoebe worked closely with my sister and I for months to plan a family trip to China. And the final itinerary was incredible! Thank you so much Phoebe for your attention to details (believe me when I say they think of everything), flexibility and professionalism. We were so confident the whole time away because we knew how well you planned and that we could reach out to you with any concerns. Looking forward to our next trip with UME

    Phoebe was our travel agent for our family trip to China this June. She was attentive, very prompt to respond, and accommodated our requests. We were very happy with the service and all the arrangements. Highly recommend it.

    Our 12-day trip from Beijing to Shanghai was absolutely unforgettable! It was the perfect mix of history, fun, and family time. From walking the Great Wall to exploring the Forbidden City, our private guide brought every place to life with fascinating stories that even our kids enjoyed. The best part? Ending the trip with both Shanghai Disneyland and Universal Studios — total dream come true for the little ones (and honestly, for us too!). Having a private driver and guide made everything super easy and stress-free. The itinerary was really well thought out, with a great balance of sightseeing and downtime. We felt so well taken care of throughout the whole journey. If you're traveling with kids and want a meaningful yet fun experience in China, this is the trip for you!
