    Very friendly, polite and professional guides and drivers. Everybody was eager to help to make our experience even better. Eva Wang, our trip coordinator was always very responsive and put together a great itinerary for us. We had a wonderful time exploring China for the second time.

    It was such an amazing trip with so much culture to experience. But China is huge, and I feel like there are still so many places I didn’t get to see—definitely a little regret there. Guess that just means I’ll have to come back next time!

    A truly wonderful trip to China! This journey was so well organized by Amber. We started in Beijing and wrapped up in Hong Kong. Everything—flights, trains, hotels, and tours—was arranged perfectly. Ms. Miki in Xi’an was outstanding, and I also want to thank Ms. Tracy in Beijing and Ms. Nancy in Yangshuo. I’d definitely recommend this company, as everyone really went above and beyond to make our trip smooth and enjoyable.

    China is huge—so many places to see and explore Lucky for us, we found UME Travel! Phoebe, our trip designer, planned out the most amazing itinerary based on our days, budget, and preferences. Everything was perfectly organized In each city, the local guides were super responsible and always punctual—picking us up right at our hotel and making sure the whole day went smoothly It made traveling feel so easy and stress-free! And the food… oh my gosh Every day was a new foodie adventure. From endless street snacks to regional specialties—Guilin’s famous beer fish and Shanghai’s juicy pan-fried buns were definitely our favorites Honestly, it was such an incredible trip. Can’t wait to come back and explore even more of China!

    Our guides spoke great English and always greeted us right on time at every stop. The hotels were clean and comfortable. We're total foodies, and each city’s guide made sure we got to try the local specialties—Beijing’s roast duck and Guilin’s bamboo rice were our absolute favorites!

    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

    What an incredible 16-day journey through China with UME Travel! My partner and I had such a smooth and memorable experience from start to finish. The itinerary was perfectly arranged — we got to see all the highlights without ever feeling rushed. In every city, the local guide was already waiting for us at the train station right on time。 All the guides spoke great English and were super knowledgeable and friendly. The drivers were also amazing — they handled our luggage every step of the way, which made things so much easier. A special shoutout to Guilin — the scenery there absolutely blew us away. The karst mountains, the river views… it was like stepping into a painting. Hands down one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. Big thanks to the UME Travel team for making this such a stress-free and unforgettable adventure. We highly recommend this tour if you want a well-organized, private experience across China!
