Not only did I have an amazing trip, but the hotels were perfect, too. They were exactly what I was looking for and extremely affordable! I have recommended your website to multiple people and plan on using it again.

Your website was a gem to find online. It gave me a sense of what our girls could do on a trip to Spain. Ultimately, your website was the deciding factor on how to accomplish their trip. Your support team was awesome. As we developed a relationship, they were more than helpful. The two times we asked for changes during the trip, customer support was on board to help. It was a good feeling to hear back from them with multiple choices and I never felt like it was a pain for them. Bottom line... we love RoutePerfect.
