Had booked an international trip for Vietnam and Malaysia through Pickyourtrial. I was contacted by one Rishika Rao L who helped me create customised itinerary, as what I was looking for was not present by default in the app. She provided the itinerary along with the names of the contacts in Vietnam and Malaysia. Though sceptical at first with Pickyourtrial, the trip was really smooth and enjoyable. It was hassle free as everything was arranged as per the itinerary and the contacts were very prompt in chucking on us for either transport or any activities mentioned in the itinerary. They also helped us with Visas, which was granted to us without any fuss.

I travelled to Vietnam with my wife and 2 teenage sons this month. This was my 3rd trip booked end to end so far via Pickyourtrail though after a gap of 5 years, thanks to the intervening Covid situation for almost 2 years. Doing literally back-to-back and that too 3 trips with Pickyourtrail, should say something about what I think of the experience of planning a vacation via them. This latest Vietnam trip was no different and me and my family thoroughly enjoyed the trip. I'd like to make a special mention of Adarsh Krishnan, my travel consultant at Pickyourtrail, who suggested Vietnam as a destination after hearing what I was looking to achieve from my vacation, and from start to end, patiently bore my meticulous questions about the trip, my expectations from it and curated a very well-planned itinerary, most importantly matching my budget. Thanks to Vijay and his team for getting us our visas with no sweat. To Edwin and his team in Vietnam for the local support and updates about each day's schedule. And finally, to the Pickyourtrail 24/7 support team via their app, who covered my back right through the trip from start to finish and answered all my queries any time of day/night. The highlight of the trip was the cruise along Halong Bay, it was a breathtaking view, we got to do Kayaking and the cruise was a great experience. Overall, a satisfying and fulfilled trip to Vietnam and many thanks to Pickyourtrail for the itinerary. Will definitely do my next international trip, whenever that happens, via Pickyourtrail.
