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.

I had occasion to use your chat to amend my trip plan. Fortunately, I got connected with Robyn who was an absolute wonder. She was entirely accommodating and went way beyond what I expected to ensure that my trip was as good as can be. She is, in my experience, the best and most accommodating, helpful, cheerful, and all around pleasant customer service representative that I have ever encountered. The entire RoutePerfect team performed to perfection. All reservations were without issue, and a late change was accomplished without incident. I would recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning to travel anywhere in the world.
