UTO exceeded our expectations UTO is a great company to work with. The vacation packages offer variety and options that fit any budget. Customer service support is professional and top notch especially in today's world. Speaking to a live person who was willing to help- priceless!!. Can't wait to book our next trip!

Beware Beware! I booked a trip to China in 2021 which was cancelled due to COVID. I was given a travel credit. Since that time, all trips (except one) are unavailable which the company informed me sold out the day after Thanksgiving. My travel credit will be expiring in September of 2022. They've refused to extend. I look once/week to rebook without success. None of the trips they advertise are available. The rest are ridiculously expensive. In short, this company will be stealing my $1400 since I am unable to rebook without any ramifications in the US since they're based in Canada. I've even tried every other destination - same thing. Trips are "Sold Out" and none of the advertised prices are available. Instead, the prices are insane.

Help UTO give your money back by filing a complaint with TICO. If you are one of the many people who had their China + something else trip cancelled for one of many reasons UTO gave, help UTO give your money back by filing a complaint with the agency Travel Industry Council of Ontario (as listed on bottom left of UTO's website in blue and green tico.ca). They have helped some people already and knows of this company's practice. Like many others, I had a trip to China & Thailand all paid for from a promotional sale. UTO cancelled it and does not offer refunds, only future travel credit. 3 months after filing a complaint, UTO reached out to me on where to send my refund.

Last minute travel itinerary and hotel… Last minute travel itinerary and hotel assignments which were not anywhere near the airports I booked because they never told me which was closer. Taxi prices for a 1 hr ride are killer! Hotels in cheaper areas but some had transportation nearby which is good because most days there was no included tour-another great expense to add. Lots of walking so bring comfortable shoes! Our guide Noriko was great-she helped us to navigate transportation and book independent outings. Final cost with all the add-ons was much more than original price. I will never book with them again.

we had great experience in Thailand just finished my first UTO tour in Thailand. the hotel is well addressed, and communion with UTO was easy before and during the trip (main office and the Thai local guide) FB messages or WhatsApp usually replied to my questions within 48 hours. I was very skeptical at first because of some of the negative reviews. I used to work in the travel industry. UTO does run tours very differently than most US-based tour companies. however, it may be the reason why sometimes they can offer these unbelievable deals. their tour policy is very strict, not very flexible. my advice is ~ READ READ READ the fine print before you book. looking forward to my 2nd China/Japan tour
