Thank you for your email, our trip was amazing. I found the whole experience of using RoutePerfect brilliant. It made it so easy to plan your trip, and work out travelling time between each place, so we weren't in the car over 2 hours each journey. The hotels we chose were great. And the reviews were spot on. We loved our whole trip from start to finish and we have already discussed where we would like to go next year. So I will definitely be using RoutePerfect again.

It was my first time traveling to Europe and I didn't even know where to begin. I don't think I could have planned my trip without RoutePerfect. I used RoutePerfect to book all my accommodations and I am glad I did. It was so easy and I was able to customize my trip to fit my budget. My hotel in Karlovy Vary was the nicest I've ever stayed at.
