I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.

Everything went perfectly. The hotels were all excellent and I will definitely use the site again. It can be a nightmare choosing hotels and for those that don’t want to be tied down to a package holiday; it is ideal as well as considerably cheaper.
