My wife and I wanted to go on a trip to Austria and Switzerland and didn't want to do the conventional package tour. We had our trip customized with Pickyourtrail and did a 2 week trip covering Austria, Switzerland and Italy. It was very well planned with great back-end support throughout our trip. It gave us the flexibility of doing what we want and at the same time had somebody to fall back on in case things didn't go as planned. This is the future of how people travel where you can customize each and every part of your itinerary the way you want.

The team is having a patience to listen your all tiny questions and answer all of them well, which convinced me to go with their package I went dubai with their package as family trip 5 ppl. Every process is supportive and hassle free. 24/7quick support is very useful when you are in trip, because you took family out of country, you have lot many question in mind, everything solved over chat support I have 1 issue with them during travel which was sorted well. No worries you have 99 other good things to share about them The best part is we booked air tickets and packages a month before,without our passports and visa, thats their confidence level.I appreciate overall support from pyt team Pick your trip with pick your trail.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience planning our Maldives trip with Sabari from Pick Your Trail. With barely 2 days left before check-in, he managed to plan everything for us in just about 6 hours from resort shortlisting and villa selection to flights and all-inclusive packages. What really stood out was how polite, honest, and patient he was throughout the process. He understood exactly what we wanted, gave transparent suggestions, and never pushed unnecessary upgrades. The entire process felt smooth, and incredibly efficient, which made last-minute planning surprisingly easy. Thanks to pick your trail, we had a seamless and memorable holiday without any worries. Highly recommend!

Well this was the very first time that we booked our holiday package with pickyourtrail and that too for an international trip to Dubai. I was quite apprehensive as didnot have any prior experience with pickyourtrail. I was just hoping that everything on the holiday goes well without any issues or difficulty. Had little bit miscommunication during the phase 2 of the holiday booking with the representative and was disappointed. But as soon as the holiday started we dint find one reason to call or reach out to pickyourtrail and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our Holiday. Everything was meticulously planned and executed. Perfect time coordination, no wait, no follow - ups, comfortable hotel stay, smooth and punctual travels, very good shuttles. Itenary was also planned carefully by giving required resting period when there were full day tours. All the necessary documents to be carried were given prior information of. Visa process was smooth.We really had a very good experience with pickyourtrail and would highly recommend it to others.
