PYT truly helped us from A to Z in planning and executing our recent Europe trip covering Switzerland, Finland, and Paris. Everything was taken care of seamlessly from the very beginning until the end of our journey. A special thanks to Akhil from the sales team, Srivatsan from the customer team, and the entire customer support team, including Chandramouli, Naveen, and Dinesh. Each one of them was extremely helpful, responsive, and ensured that every detail was handled neatly and efficiently. Whenever we needed any support, they were always there to assist us without delay. Overall, the entire team made our travel experience incredibly smooth, stress-free, and truly wonderful. We are really, really satisfied with the services provided and couldnt have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to the PickYourTrails team and everyone who helped make this trip memorable!Bharani Tharan, Trip to Switzerland

We had a trip planned by them to Paris,France and Lucerne, Switzerland for 6 days. The pre-trip support with itinerary, visa assistance and bookings were good, there was no issues or errors during this period. Then during the trip we were accurately communicated the steps to follow and ways to reach the destinations beforehand and their customer support service was available online via their app and had quick response. As this was the first time we had an agency plan our trip so can't compare to other platforms but pick your trails was good and there was no complaints from us.
