We booked our Japan trip through PickYourTrail and overall, it was a well-organised and smooth experience. The itinerary planning, coordination, and execution were handled efficiently, which made our trip largely stress-free. The arrangements and logistics were good, and the team was available throughout the trip for support whenever we needed assistance, which was reassuring in a foreign country like Japan. That said, the stay could have been a little better in terms of quality and room space, and keeping a backup plan (in terms of transport availability) would have further made our experience better. A more local curated experience would also be preferred. Further, our special thanks to the team Dev, Chithranshu, Chandramauli, Prem, and others for their continuous support and responsiveness. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would recommend PickYourTrail for planning international trips, especially for first-time travelers to Japan.
