We had a great holiday and congratulate you on the way in which you organised this holiday for us. The vast majority of hotels were absolutely excellent. We would certainly use your service again and will be happy to recommend you without reservations. We are hoping to book another holiday with you later in the year.

I was more than pleased with my trip! The hotels that RoutePerfect suggested were fantastic and helped keep up comfortable and on budget. When our flight to Madrid was delayed, RoutePerfect’s customer service called the hotel (as there was a language barrier) to ensure we were able to check in. I will recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning a trip, and will use your services in the future.
