I couldn't be more happier and satisfied with the service your company provided in planning our trip and making the process so user friendly and intuitive. All the hotels were in prime locations and close to all the attractions we wanted to visit. You saved us months of planning and research if we were to do it by ourselves. I've been telling all my friends and family about the website. Thank you and congrats on a wonderful service and a great product!!

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.
