Olympic Sites, Lillehammer

The site was of great help since I was already on the road when I had to plan the final part of my trip in Italy, I didn't have much time to spend on it and the site made everything easier and faster with a great price. Italy has a lot of different routes, the site gave me a lot of options and insights to make a good plan. Overall it was a great experience, I would definitely use it again.

Your website was a revelation! Our holiday organizing would not have been possible without it! The minute I found the site and starting navigating it I was telling everyone about it. I played around with it for about 3 months before we actually booked our holiday in February 2016. It was amazing to see the distance and time between each destination and the routes we could take. Then going onto the hotel booking section was very easy. Your team were great when we were missing a confirmation email as well. We had an amazing trip and I would recommend to anyone travelling around instead of lying on a beach for 2 weeks. We also got engaged while we were in Rome, so it was the perfect holiday!!
