Riquewihr is a commune in Alsace in north-eastern France. A popular tourist attraction for its historical architecture, Riquewihr is also known for the Riesling and other great wines produced in the village. Riquewihr looks today more or less as it did in the 16th century. Riquewihr was one of the few towns in the area not to be badly damaged during World War II. The town is surrounded by its medieval fortifications and is overlooked by a castle from the same period that is today a museum. There is a museum about Alsace during World War II and a torture chamber. The village is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association.

We were very happy with the service we received from RoutePerfect. Planning was so much fun and it was easy to play around with the different itineraries. We had no problems and it was extremely convenient to use the vouchers. The location of the hotels were great and according to what we expected. I also love the fact that you can select different budgets and modify these as well as the suggested itinerary.

I wish to express my extreme satisfaction with Route Perfect. Shortly after deciding that Italy was to be the place that I would next visit, I was at first overwhelmed and daunted with the thought of having to book and pay for accommodation in different cities in Italy and having to try and correspond with people whose English is less than perfect! It was at this point that I happened to stumble upon RoutePerfect on the Internet and what a blessing this turned out to be. I would highly recommend RoutePerfect to any person wanting to organise a trip to Europe. RoutePerfect is extremely user friendly. Within moments, I had my trip itinerary worked out and all the hotels booked and paid for. It not only provided maps of the areas, but details of the history of each place and what the worthwhile attractions would be. They also have links to Wikipedia if you were not satisfied with the information that they provided and wanted to read more, as well as links to TripAdvisor if one wanted to read up on the standard and quality of the hotels recommended. When I next travel to Europe or anywhere else, Route Perfect, will most definitely be my first port of call. Thank you for making my life so easy.
