I planned a trip to Malaysia for first time with pickyourtrail. They customized the itinerary based on my needs. Overall it was really well organized. This was my first experience going on a foreign trip with a travel agency: and i was little doubtful on how well this works and the services you provide. But unexpectedly it turned out very well. Well organized itinerary and good drivers for cabs who gave us more information about their place and spoke well with us and assisted us well on where to go and what to do. Hotel rooms were good too.
