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!!

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect. even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.
