We had a wonderful trip and the route planned through RoutePerfect was wonderful. All the hotels we booked through your company were also very good. We had no problems with the bookings or checking in processes and being able to pay in stages when we booked the trip made budgeting very easy. We found the whole process of planning our trip and booking accommodation through RoutePerfect to be very simple and have recommended RoutePerfect to many of our friends and acquaintances.

We were very happy with the service we received from RoutePerfect. Planning was so much fun and it was easy to play around with the different itineraries. We had no problems and it was extremely convenient to use the vouchers. The location of the hotels were great and according to what we expected. I also love the fact that you can select different budgets and modify these as well as the suggested itinerary.
