My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.

This site was a fantastic tool to plan our 7-week trip. All the accommodations worked out perfectly and met our expectations. Your website was a great way to get suggestions, look at accommodation types that were available, as well as price ranges. From there I could start tailoring the trip to our travelling preferences. You should be proud of this great tool to empower travellers to do their own arrangements, and at the same time get a great price. I would definitely use this site again and will be highly recommending it to friends and family.
