We just returned from our honeymoon to Italy - we used your site to plan virtually the whole trip. I don’t have to tell you what a powerful tool you have created. We planned the perfect trip, and RoutePerfect delivered. We saved a lot using RoutePerfect, which was evident at every place we stayed and checked their rates. I was raving about your site before we left, and we will be telling everyone about it.

The planning process was easy and there was constant access to support via the website. The itinerary was ideal and worked really well for us. The hotels were both very good - and slightly quirky - which was great. The price was very reasonable and the trip was very good value. We were very pleased with the trip. We will definitely be using the site again.
