I was more than pleased with my trip! The hotels that RoutePerfect suggested were fantastic and helped keep up comfortable and on budget. When our flight to Madrid was delayed, RoutePerfect’s customer service called the hotel (as there was a language barrier) to ensure we were able to check in. I will recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning a trip, and will use your services in the future.

It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.
