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.

Everything went very well. I was most impressed. Your route suggestions were excellent. As I had no idea what I was doing and what to expect, as I was going to Croatia for the first time, you guided me perfectly and spot on. One hotel that I had booked was a let down, but I booked a room in a random hotel, and all the other hotels were really nice and I was completely satisfied. All in all, I only have praise for your company, as well as thanks for assisting me on this venture. I wish you all the best and may your company be successful. I will use you again.
