Amazing one week vocation in Bali, Lembongan Island is a great spot, plenty to do at the club.
Our 8 day trip around Bali with UME Travel was a pure delight in terms of service, sights and cultural information. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable, we were treated to fabulous food and lovely accommodation. We had planned to make the trip by doing all our own arrangements but UME Travel took all the hassle away and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to friends and family and hope to use them again in the future.
Throughout our planning, Cathy of UME Travel, was absolutely marvellous! She found us great hotels, great guide and fantastic itineraries in all three areas that we visited. I will certainly be booking through Cathy next time and would be more than happy to recommend her to potential travellers!
My family visited Bali over the Christmas and New Year period and just had an awesome time. Cathy at UME Travel was our contact person and her cheerful, polite, and informative emails made our planning so much easier. I would choose Cathy again to plan our holidays any time.
We spend about one week in Bali. Thanks to UME Travel and the help of our travel consultants Cathy it was a pleasant experience. The hotels and sites we visited, where all well chosen. UME Travel surpassed all of our expectations and we will be using them for all our future plans exploring Southeast Asia.
Cathy is very kind and prompt in assisting with my queries and changes in schedule. She went the extra mile to recommend a couple of cafes worth visiting. Delighted with her service!
