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.
