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.

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.
