The trip was great, we really enjoyed it. The planning implemented via your site was really a key part of the trip, thank you for that. The location of all hotels was good, Verona we had a bit of a walk , but being close to the railway station was the key for us there, so no worries. Staff in all the hotels were great. The communication from RoutePerfect was excellent. So very happy overall!

We were very happy with the service we received from RoutePerfect. Planning was so much fun and it was easy to play around with the different itineraries. We had no problems and it was extremely convenient to use the vouchers. The location of the hotels were great and according to what we expected. I also love the fact that you can select different budgets and modify these as well as the suggested itinerary.
