    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!

    When I was planning our trip I found UME, and requested info. At first I thought it seemed a little pricey, and was a little nervous because I couldn’t find a lot of info online… but WOW ! Amber and her team made our trip worry free, and full of fantastic experiences! UME was worth every penny, and the service was exceptional throughout. Amber was very responsive and easy to work with and made the whole experience amazing from planning, right through to following up with me after to ensure we arrived home safely. If you’re looking to visit China , get in touch with Amber, at UME travel !

    We had such a great time! The private guides and drivers at each stop made the whole trip amazing for us. Since it was just our family in the group, we got plenty of time at each attraction, which was perfect. We had a long list of things we wanted to do, and Amber, our operator, managed to fit everything into the itinerary—it was an awesome experience. Highly recommend this trip, we really had a blast!

    Still just as amazing! After the pandemic ended last year, I booked a custom trip to Japan through UME Travel to enjoy some quality time with my family — and thanks to Phoebe's perfectly tailored itinerary, we had such a great time! This year, I reached out to Phoebe again on WhatsApp to help plan a trip to China. I was honestly amazed that she still remembered our travel preferences and style — and in no time, she came up with another fantastic itinerary. The trip was incredible, and to my surprise, Phoebe even upgraded our hotel rooms for free and gifted my child a beautiful Terracotta Warrior pottery souvenir — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture! Phoebe, I’ll definitely be coming back to you again next year! 🙌✨

    We just wrapped up an amazing 16-day "China Highlights with Yangtze River" trip! The whole journey was arranged by Phoebe, a travel consultant from UME Travel. Honestly, at first, I didn’t really trust them — I just casually shared my budget and a few requests. But the next day, Phoebe got in touch with me and sent over a customized itinerary, and I was honestly blown away by how professional she was! After a few more discussions and adjustments with her, we finalized the trip, and it turned out to be absolutely fantastic. We had experienced local guides, friendly and reliable drivers, and Phoebe stayed in touch with us the whole time, making sure everything went smoothly. My whole family had an amazing time! Huge thanks to UME Travel and Phoebe!
