I had an amazing time on my trip and RoutePerfect worked out...perfectly! I cannot express enough how much RoutePerfect helped me plan my perfect trip to Italy. The process was incredibly smooth, the site easy to navigate, and everything was perfect at each hotel and we checked in/out with ease.

My wife and I had a marvelous trip to Italy and we will cherish the memories. Additionally, we were thoroughly pleased with our itinerary and the package that was provided by RoutePerfect. I have your website bookmarked and I will definitely be using it again in the future!
