Amazing. Our tour guide, Jacky was great, going above and beyond for us. He know all of the right people at the various stops to hook you up with the best way to experience each location. There’s no way that we could have done this without a guide and they were, without a doubt, the best. Couldn’t recommend them enough. If we have time, we’ll be taking another South East Asia tour with UME Travel!
We had the best time with our tour guide and driver for the past 10 days. Our driver Sam knew the best routes to take to each location to ensure we had enough time to see everything. Our guide Jacky, never made us feel rushed, took pictures for us, answered all our questions, held our bags when needed, told us where to get the best photos, overall he handled everything we could have asked for. 10/10 highly recommend!
We had the best time on this 10 day Bali tour!! 100% worth the money! Our guide was amazing and answered so many questions about Bali culture. We were even introduced to a new fruit, snake fruit, which was so tasty. All of the stops were amazing, and Jacky made sure that we got amazing photos at each. So happy we decided to this!!
Our guide was so kind, very funny, and an absolute pleasure to be around! He was so great and patient and took excellent pictures at all of our locations! My daughter got a headache during the tour and he made sure she got water and rest. Such an amazing tour with Jacky!!
Our guide and driver was simply the best... so nice with us... excellent information and always kind. Having Good conversation and taking the best pictures. Perfect tour around Ubud, Nusa Dua and Seminyak. Thanks!!!
It was one of the most unforgettable trip I have ever been. It is organized in a high professional way. Thank you UME Travel and my advisor Carrie! I was able to see most of the “must see” places in Bali, have great fun with friendly monkeys and enjoy amazing lunch with spectacular views everyday. My guid Peter was looking after all my needs and wishes and made my day special. I would highly recommend this tour and definitely will have my next trip with UME Travel.
Loved this tour !! This cooking class was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious, cooking instructor was very entertaining and the level of instruction well catered to all experience levels. We were given ample time to sit down and enjoy each meal after it was prepared. I was particularly impressed at how accommodating the class was for vegetarian members of the group: the meals were well thought through and very tasty! Unlike most cooking classes, this one was conducted inside a traditional Balinese home which made the experience very personable. The entire family was extremely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we didn't make it to the local food markets as they were closed on a Thursday.Highly recommend UME Travel!!!
This is definitely worth the time and money. I truly enjoyed my experience and was able to learn even more about the locals way of living.
