    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!

    Our recent trip to China with UME travel was wonderful. The services provided by our guides were excellent. They took care of every detail and provided over the top personal attention. The planning of the trip, by Amber, selection of hotels and activities exceeded our expectations and made our experience so enjoyable. We found China to be an amazing country and UME travel to be an outstanding tour company.

    Amber with Ume Travel This review is in regards to Amber in Ume Travel. We had a previous experience with her with a tour in Japan, which was great in all respects. Then I had the need for a business trip in China, where I had no idea how to do it, since the suppliers we had to visit were so far away from each other. She fixed the complete schedule, including the route, hotels, trains, cars, drivers who were gentle, always on time and willing to get out of the way to accomodate us. The hotels she chose were up to our expectations and one of them even better. I highly recommend Amber, who was always at hand during the whole trip.5☆

    The guides in each city spoke excellent English and gave us an amazing private tour across China—just the two of us—which was such a pleasant surprise! They were also super friendly and even taught us a bit of basic Chinese, which we really enjoyed. And the food… wow! It’s been over two weeks since we got home, and I still can’t stop thinking about how good it was. I’d love to go back someday if I get the chance!
