We chose Pick Your Trails for our Sri Lanka holiday to celebrate our babys first birthday, and it was an excellent decision. The trip was thoughtfully planned and well executed, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free for us as parents. There was a minor check-in issue at the Bentota hotel on the first day from the hotels side, but apart from that, everything was handled efficiently by the team. Special thanks to Austin for the planning and to Adithyan, Nimmy, Abhinaya, and Devi for their timely support throughout the trip. The driver was polite, the stays were comfortable, and the journey felt seamless overall. It truly became a memorable first birthday celebration for our baby.

Id like to share my experience with PickYourTrail. Overall, it was a good experiencethough with a little more planning on my part, it could have been great. I dont fault the team, as I booked the trip on very short notice and should have done some additional research myself. That said, the teams support and assistance were excellent throughout. A special thanks to Rishika, my first point of contact, who helped plan the trip, and to Adithyan, who provided 24/7 support while I was in Sri Lanka. My queries were addressed almost immediately, which made the journey smooth and stress-free. Great team, I would definitely recommend them for booking any travel plans!

I recently booked a trip to Sri Lanka with Pick Your Trail, and while the overall experience was good, there are areas where improvement is needed. The planning stage of the trip was smooth, with the sales representatives answering my queries and curating the trip according to my requests. However, once the payment was made, there was a prolonged silence regarding the actual bookings. The trip planner assigned to me delayed confirmations for 12-13 days, causing most of the finalized hotels to sell out. It took numerous follow-ups from my side, and only after Mr. Ajit KS intervened did his team, led by Mr. Vignesh, act swiftly to confirm the bookings. Pre-trip experience: Before Mr. Ajit's involvement, I would rate the booking process 2/5, but after his intervention, it improved significantly to 4.5/5. On-trip experience: The trip was smooth and enjoyable, earning an overall 4/5. Most properties were good, the driver was supportive, and the car, though a bit old, was well-maintained. There was one property that was poorly maintained, with insect issues, but Pick Your Trail, particularly Mr. Dinesh, promptly helped arrange alternate accommodation at short notice. Overall, the trip itself was enjoyable, and I appreciate Pick Your Trail's support during on-trip issues. However, for a truly seamless experience, improvements in the booking process and communication post-payment are essential. Would I book with Pick Your Trail again? Possibly, but only with assurances of an end-to-end smooth experience.
