Picking Pick Your Trail has been one of the best decisions we took for our Europe trip. From start to finish, it has been a smooth experience. Mithun has been outstanding communicator during initial planning stage of the trip, very patient and accommodative of our requests. During the trip, 24/7 chat was so handy and efficient. The hotels picked were all great and conveniently located. We had to cancel one of the activities booked and it was hassle free with refund processed swiftly. All vouchers in digital form within the app is a neat feature too. The reminders 24 hr prior with all the required details was also a nice touch. All in all, I cant fault the customer service and experience provided by PYT. We will use PYT again and highly recommend them.
