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.

The planning process was easy and there was constant access to support via the website. The itinerary was ideal and worked really well for us. The hotels were both very good - and slightly quirky - which was great. The price was very reasonable and the trip was very good value. We were very pleased with the trip. We will definitely be using the site again.
