Our trip was awesome as far as route and hotels are concerned. I loved your website because it enabled me to pick a perfect route, get distances, hotel options connected automatically to Tripadvisor reviews etc. Your staff was friendly and helpful, the hotels had our information and were all that was promised. I will use your site again for sure. The hotel prices were awesome.

My trip to Europe/Greece was great. The accommodations were good, the price was right, and I liked the flexibility of viewing and selecting alternative accommodations. I have recommended RoutePerfect to others.
