We were very impressed with the plan that we put together. Dealing with website staff was easy. Overall I was happy that we got a good deal. I have recommended your website to a number of others so far and will be using it again myself for a future trip.

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect. even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.
