Everything went very well. I was most impressed. Your route suggestions were excellent. As I had no idea what I was doing and what to expect, as I was going to Croatia for the first time, you guided me perfectly and spot on. One hotel that I had booked was a let down, but I booked a room in a random hotel, and all the other hotels were really nice and I was completely satisfied. All in all, I only have praise for your company, as well as thanks for assisting me on this venture. I wish you all the best and may your company be successful. I will use you again.

The trip was great, we really enjoyed it. The planning implemented via your site was really a key part of the trip, thank you for that. The location of all hotels was good, Verona we had a bit of a walk , but being close to the railway station was the key for us there, so no worries. Staff in all the hotels were great. The communication from RoutePerfect was excellent. So very happy overall!
