I was more than pleased with my trip! The hotels that RoutePerfect suggested were fantastic and helped keep up comfortable and on budget. When our flight to Madrid was delayed, RoutePerfect’s customer service called the hotel (as there was a language barrier) to ensure we were able to check in. I will recommend RoutePerfect to anyone planning a trip, and will use your services in the future.

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.
