We recently went to Bali through Pickyourtrail and it was a smooth experience from start to finish. Right from the first call to discuss the itinerary, everything was handled in a very friendly and professional way. They were patient with our questions and helped us plan quite well. Throughout the trip, they had provided support and would regularly check with you. Their ground team in Bali was equally warm and helpful, which made us feel really comfortable in a new place. From airport pickup to drop at the end of the trip, everything was perfectly organised. The hotels, activities, guides, speed boats all were well planned and coordinated. There was always one or two dedicated points of contact available during the trip, so we never felt stuck or confused at any point. Also, their selection of hotels, boat services and the local travel medium was really nice, safe and comfortable. We had personally picked a snorkelling activity in our itinerary at gili t and it was a beautiful experience thanks to the local guides and the boat that were assigned as a private support by pickyourtrail. It was a really nice memorable experience and I would definitely recommend Pickyourtrail to anyone looking for a well-supported travel partner.
