We just returned from our honeymoon to Italy - we used your site to plan virtually the whole trip. I don’t have to tell you what a powerful tool you have created. We planned the perfect trip, and RoutePerfect delivered. We saved a lot using RoutePerfect, which was evident at every place we stayed and checked their rates. I was raving about your site before we left, and we will be telling everyone about it.

It was my first time traveling to Europe and I didn't even know where to begin. I don't think I could have planned my trip without RoutePerfect. I used RoutePerfect to book all my accommodations and I am glad I did. It was so easy and I was able to customize my trip to fit my budget. My hotel in Karlovy Vary was the nicest I've ever stayed at.
