We just returned from our honeymoon to Italy - we used your site to plan virtually the whole trip. I don’t have to tell you what a powerful tool you have created. We planned the perfect trip, and RoutePerfect delivered. We saved a lot using RoutePerfect, which was evident at every place we stayed and checked their rates. I was raving about your site before we left, and we will be telling everyone about it.

I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!
