We were very impressed with the plan that we put together. Dealing with website staff was easy. Overall I was happy that we got a good deal. I have recommended your website to a number of others so far and will be using it again myself for a future trip.

I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.
