    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!

    We had an amazing time on our China trip booked through UME Travel. All of our requests were thoughtfully included in the itinerary. A special thanks to the tour guides—they did an outstanding job! Since one of our elderly family members has limited mobility, guides in each city arranged wheelchairs and provided lots of helpful information along the way. Throughout the trip, Phoebe was always ready to assist us with any questions or concerns. Everyone did a fantastic job!

    Huge thanks to Amber! We had a lot of requests during the planning process, but she was incredibly patient and came back the very next day with a customized itinerary just for us. It allowed us to explore China at our own pace. The local guides and hotels were all excellent.

    Our trip to China with UME Travel was amazing, thanks to Amber, our tour coordinator! Communication was quick and effortless, and Amber made sure we were able to do everything we wanted to do in our limited time-frame! Her personalized planning left us feeling safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. Every detail—from transportation to local guides—was perfectly handled. We would definitely use UME travel if make another trip to Southeast Asia - we wish UME travel coordinated trips all around the world because we would book with them every time!

    phoebe helped my wife and I put together our honeymoon trip to Japan, and the whole experience couldn't have been better. She was really helpful and communicative from the start, offered a lot of useful feedback as we put together our custom tour package, and the final itinerary was exactly what we wanted. The trip was a dream, everything we needed logistically was handled for us, and it all went very smoothly - not a bump in the proverbial road. It was such a relief to have everything taken care, it really let us both put our feet up and enjoy every moment. I'd happily use Ume again.

    I just finished the 16-day Yangtze River tour, and I absolutely loved it! Everything was really well organized, and the whole trip went super smoothly from start to finish. We got to see so many amazing places—Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong—and the Yangtze cruise was beautiful and super relaxing. The local guides in each city were so friendly and helpful—they always took the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions we had. One thing that really impressed me was that when UME found out we were traveling with a child, they went out of their way to arrange a family room. A massive surprise!
