Planning was fun and your crew was really helpful. I had a problem with the website accepting my credit card, and I panicked because my first choice for a Berlin hotel was unavailable when I re-entered my info. I found out it had gone through and I had paid twice. The support team was very quick to get my refund. The accommodations were good. I was satisfied with RoutePerfect and have already recommended it to friends!

I planned a trip for a small trio of girlfriends. We were very pleased with our trip to Europe, and your site is what made it such a smooth and easy process for me to select our hotels. Our hotels were all decent and all went well. We will be using your site again in the future as it was very helpful!
