It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.

The trip was amazing. Your site was really easy to use and the hotels we stayed at were what we expected. The overall experience using the site, getting around Italy for two first timers was easy and provided an incredible trip.
