Thank you RoutePerfect for a fantastic holiday in Spain. We were extremely happy with all of the hotels, they were excellent. Every hotel we arrived at had all the details, payment information etc. not one problem wherever we went. Will absolutely recommend to everyone we speak to.

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.
