This was my second trip with Pick Your Trail, and overall, I had a good experience. What I appreciate the most is how seamlessly the trip is managed, especially during the travel phase with regular follow-ups and support calls. One area of improvement would be the communication process, as it is mostly app-dependent and we are often asked to chat through the app, where responses can sometimes be delayed. Having a dedicated person consistently available throughout the process would make the experience much smoother. Despite a few gaps in itinerary planning and coordination, the team was quick to resolve issues during the trip, and a special mention to Keertana for her excellent support throughout the journey.
