My husband and I enjoyed our days in Switzerland immensely. Each hotel was perfect for us. Each was different. Each was in a great place for walking trips and good food. We were a bit nervous about the reservations, but you exceeded our expectations. We will use RoutePerfect again and tell others about the great tools you have that make trip planning so much fun. Thank you.

Overall we were happy with our experience from the planning to our lodging. We had our trust issues about not physically seeing anyone, but your staff were available to chat with us when we had questions. We had only one incident in the Doubletree Excel Hotel. The receptionist told me that breakfast wasn’t included in the voucher. My husband clarified the situation and she apologized for not reading the voucher correctly. The selection of lodging was very interesting, varying from modern hotels to tea rooms and an apartment. We were expected at each lodging and there were no difficulties. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and we would happily use your company again for future travels. Thank you for your efficient organization, comforting agents and follow-up.
