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.

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.
