Thank you for your email, our trip was amazing. I found the whole experience of using RoutePerfect brilliant. It made it so easy to plan your trip, and work out travelling time between each place, so we weren't in the car over 2 hours each journey. The hotels we chose were great. And the reviews were spot on. We loved our whole trip from start to finish and we have already discussed where we would like to go next year. So I will definitely be using RoutePerfect again.

Not only did I have an amazing trip, but the hotels were perfect, too. They were exactly what I was looking for and extremely affordable! I have recommended your website to multiple people and plan on using it again.
