    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.
