Our Greece trip with pickyourtrail was amazing. Service during the trip was commendable. Although there was a timing mismatch from vendors end, pickyourtrail ensured that our plans went thru. Their team connected with us to see that everything was smooth. They compensated us for the last minute charges. For a short while when there was some problem with my app, the team established alternative connectivity thru my whatsapp. Overall, I felt it was very trustworthy and felt at ease to travel with them in future.

Pick Your Trail turned out to be good choice to plan our vacation (for 4 friends from 4 different locations) to Greece right from drafting the itinerary to visa guidance, ticketing and on ground support in Greece. But for their app which created initial hurdles, their executives were friendly, approachable guided us well at all stages. I would certainly suggest PYT to my friends and relatives.Thank you PYT for making our vacation special.

We had a very pleasant experience with Pick Your Trail for our recent vacation to Greece. Starting from the pickup cabs to booking cruise to ferry tickets, everything was very well arranged. The support team was constantly available over chat to acknowledge any help that was needed. The hotels had the best view and were present at the best location.The only thing which was a little less convenient was that the pickup points scheduled for us for various activities were a little far from our hotels, so we had to book either a taxi or walk down/up the hills to be at our scheduled points.
