We used RoutePerfect to plan and book two trips touring Spain from the North to the South coasts and then back again between April and July, staying at 9 hotels in total. All were good to excellent with very straightforward check-in, accepting our voucher with no problems. The website is excellent as a totally flexible planning tool and the staff were very efficient and helpful when we made a mistake with dates and had to phone to make a change. We would highly recommend RoutePerfect and would certainly use them again.

My sons and I had the best time together driving from Rome to Normandy. The trip was trouble-free. I really appreciated that the person who called me to finalize my travel reservations let me know that one of the hotels was not available. She made sure that I got a comparable hotel for almost the same price as my original choice. It made me feel good that there were still companies that cared about their clients.
