I am completely satisfied with Routperfect. The website was very helpful for planning our trip. The choice of hotels was very good. I have been recommending Routperfect to my friends. If anything was not exactly they way I planned, it was mostly on me. I should have paid more attention to offered hotels. For example a four star hotel in Perugia was wonderful, but 20 minutes walk to the city center was a drawback. I am looking forward to using Routperfect for my next vacation.

We found your website very easy and intuitive. We were able to customize our trip and learn details about the various cities. We were a bit nervous about ordering our hotels on the spot. When we got to our first destination and handed the voucher to the receptionist and they confirm that everything was okay, then that's when we relaxed smiled and said this is really cool. We set up for different accommodations and everything was perfect. We will definitely consider using RoutePerfect again and we will definitely recommend RoutePerfect to other people.
