I had a wonderful experience using RoutePerfect to plan all of the hotels for our honeymoon. It was very easy to use and I loved how I could select a hotel from a list of possibilities. All of the hotels were fantastic and I have nothing but great things to say. I have definitely been telling everyone about the website and if we ever plan on travelling abroad again I will definitely return to your website.

I couldn't be more happier and satisfied with the service your company provided in planning our trip and making the process so user friendly and intuitive. All the hotels were in prime locations and close to all the attractions we wanted to visit. You saved us months of planning and research if we were to do it by ourselves. I've been telling all my friends and family about the website. Thank you and congrats on a wonderful service and a great product!!
