The tour was wonderful and the food was great. Our Travel agent Amber was top notch. She planned everything for me for my 60th Birthday Trip & I couldn't have had a better time.
It was an excellent experience. UME provided me and my sister and EXCEPTIONAL TOUR to Thailand! Communication and services were excellent. From beginning to end, our agent Lan Lui explained what could be provided, payment info, and understood our interest and personalized our tour to fit our needs. It actually exceeds our needs. When we landed, we had a phenomenal guide name, Nena, who was absolutely superb. Her knowledge, demeanor, and personalized touches made our Thailand experience one to cherish. [We felt like we met a friend]. From pickup at airport, to transportation to and from hotels, excursions, lunches; the sights, sounds, taste, and whole experience were seamless and took the hard work out of panning the details. UME took out the hardwork and we were truely able to fully enjoy our surroundings without distractions or stress on what to do next, as there is sooooo much to see, do, eat and explore in Thailand! If you're sitting on the fence or always wanted to go but feel overwhelmed when all the planning, please consider UME to do it for you. Let them know your interest, your must do's, and likes. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend them. Be sure to ask for our wonderful agent, Lan Lui. She is absolutely fantastic at what she does and is always able to be reached during your planning process. And of course, for our wonderful guide, who was on the ground, Ms. NENA!!! WHERE YOU'LL FEEL LIKE YOU MADE GOOD FRIENDS.
We recently took a 12-days Southeast Asia trip through Singapore, Bangkok and Bali. This was a great cultural trip with great hotels stay to include private pool villa in Bali. Amber our travel agent was super great. She quickly make all arrangements, made suggestions for flies to and from, and made sure all the tours were to ur liking. On the last hotel, we had a little issue and within an hour, she had us an upgrade to a 5-star resort beach front in Bali. I really appreciated all her help making our dream trip an awesome one.
This was one of the best tours I have ever experienced. The vintage train ride and the waterfall park was a PERFECT combination of a relaxing day mixed in with a touch of adventure. My tour guide was AMAZING; just enough but not too much.
This was an enjoyable trip. Lots covered in a day and all the highlights you need. Ying was a brilliant guide and it was really interesting listening to the history. Definitely worth the private tour, so you can ask questions and chance to take lots of photos and make memories. Highly recommended.
Every part of the process of booking my trip was so easy. Communication was clear, and my trip was tailored to what I wanted and where I wanted to go. My agent Ivan made sure he understood what my travel goals were and really worked to keep me within my budget. It really gave me peace of mind that I had someone planning everything for me so that I didn't get overwhelmed trying to do it myself. When it came time to travel, I had the contact information for the local guides before I left which made things so much easier and stress free because I knew I had someone local to reach out to about my trip if needed. The local guides Mam, MJ, and Nana were incredible, knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and accommodating. Booking my trip with UME was a completely positive experience and I have already recommended them to several people and utilizing them for my next trip.
Chin best tour guide ever. Knew so much information and this tour included so much from the train and the waterfall was spectacular.
Very moving experience especially on rememberance sunday My grandfather served in Burma , very special to me , long day but worth it
This tour was amazing and emotional. The Kanchanburi Cemetery, JEATH Museum was quite an eye opener to what soldiers suffered as POWs. Unfortunately, we missed walking over the Bridge on the River Kwai and very nearly missed the train ride over it. The Buddha in the Cave is calming. We did get to take photos of the railway and the river. Our guide rushed us through the village as we were then running late for lunch for 1pm. Our driver took a wrong turn and by the time we reached our lunch stop, it was 3pm!! We did have time to visit the Erawan Waterfall but only to Level 2. At no time did our guide hurry us up or give a time frame for visiting places, she spent a lot of time on her phone and slept all the way back to Bangkok. We actually had to wake her when the driver started dozing off. This tour is wonderful really. The guide and driver let us down. Ask for Ken Homjan as a guide.
Paid £300 for this trip , eventually got picked up 2 hours late after numerous calls and messages, so there for due to time, we only did Death Railway tour , was refunded 600 bhat, which equals £7.00 each , overall, very disappointed.
