I was more than pleased with my trip! The hotels that RoutePerfect suggested were fantastic and helped keep up comfortable and on budget. When our flight to Madrid was delayed, RoutePerfect’s customer service called the hotel (as there was a language barrier) to ensure we were able to check in. I will recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning a trip, and will use your services in the future.

Everything on our trip to Poland has been perfect, hotels, tours, trains and the weather! All suggested hotels have been very nice; staff was very friendly and helpful in all of them. I suggested it to some of my friends. Thank you for your site and I shall definitely use it again when travelling in Europe : )
