The itinerary was perfectly designed, covering amazing places while giving us enough time to enjoy and relax. A big thank you to Rishi from the Trip Team for being so supportive throughout our journey.

We went on a long holiday to Australia and New Zealand with Pickyourtrail. Managing the trip, giving everyday updates, and 24*7 support was amazing! Their app was really informative too. We didn't have to open google or ask anyone around for help since Pickyourtrail got it all covered.

I had planned my New Zealand vacation via Pickyourtrail in May 2023. Starting from guiding me with the tour dates keeping visa issuance time period in mind, to helping me secure Visa with prompt followups with the Embassy, the Pre-Trip support was amazing. While on the trip, their 24*7 customer support was very prompt with timely trip & Activity intimations to resolving issues then and there. There was a small mistake with the cab planning where the cab drop was arranged for Queenstown while it was supposed to be Christchurch. The support team was very timely in coordinating and getting it changed with the Rental Service Provider else we would have gotten stuck as it was almost closing time. Now coming to the post Trip, Pickyourtrail ensured to follow up with me and get the refunds done with a few days despite waiting for my request. On the whole it was a crazy ride for me in New Zealand and all thanks to Pickyourtrail and it's team for making my first international vacation memorable.

Planned my first trip with PYT to New Zealand. Splendid experience with the destination and PYT team. Took a self drive trip and no major hiccups. What I liked about PYT was the experience before the trip started. In terms of planning, VISA, logistics, they were more then accommodating with my requests. The communication with their support staff on the app is seamless too, they help you with a ton of things to do and on spot booking as well. All in all, will definitely recommend them!

We planned a family trip to New Zealand in May 25 with Pickyourtrail and had a memorable experience. The planning of the tickets, places, activities and visas and Especially hotels selection was good. Had support from 247 team in case of any need while traveling. The Pickyourtrail app is also very user friendly and captures all docs and vouchers in one place. Very happy. Special thanks to Rashmi, Amit, Prem and Sandhiya. Shilpa
