Trip to SA - The itinerary planning was sloppy from start. Couple of swapping of hotels without reasons being said. Due to the swap of hotel in Capetown, things were bit not in favour for tourists. The hotel had no parking and they had paid valet parking. And then the entry and exit of the hotel leads to a square inn with refugees staying there. No complaints on the refugees, but just that they stare at the tourists which we wouldnt feel secure. Miscalculation of driving timings while planning. A practical knowledge on the places will help them probably in planning. The place itself, activities over there, the hospitality by the locals and the support team from PYT were great. South Africa is a beautiful place indeed. Thanks to Sunil, Alex, Preetha and the other support members.Akash Baskar, Trip to South Africa

I for India, an Indian Event Management Company from UK Organised a trip for its patrons to South Africa in Dec 2019 for Christmas and New Year.The group had 42 members in total (12 families).The planning started as early as Feb 2019 for the holiday in Dec 2019.Before finalising on Pick Your Trail (PYT), we obtained competitive quotes from various vendors and finally finalised it with PYT based on the professional approach they exhibited, attention to detail and of course competitive pricing.Since Feb 2019 to Dec 2019 we had a very pleasant journey with PYT – especially Sanjay in planning the itinery, hotel, sight seeing, food choices and Sanjay was able to cater to all our requirements. We had regular conference calls at various stages to make sure all the things were addressed.PYT helped us in choosing the right partners based on our requirements and made the holiday an excellent experience.We are a large Indian community in UK and would definitely recommend PYT to our wider circles and patrons.We are also planning our Dec 2020 group holiday with them.

Pick your trail was really helpful in planning and executing our fabulous trip to South Africa. The team was really prompt on responding to queries and the suggestions were really helpful. The right moment updates on whatsapp/their app were really helpful. I would recommend pick your trail to everyone. They have got a permanent customer in me.

Wonderful experience! A very pro active team both before and during the tour. We got in touch with PYT to plan our honeymoon trip to South Africa. They were very pro active in planning out an itinerary which fits our budget and also made prompt changes as we suggested. Their support during the trip is also commendable, someone is always in touch to answer last minute queries eg identifying indian restaurants around your hotel etc.
