I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!

I wish to express my extreme satisfaction with Route Perfect. Shortly after deciding that Italy was to be the place that I would next visit, I was at first overwhelmed and daunted with the thought of having to book and pay for accommodation in different cities in Italy and having to try and correspond with people whose English is less than perfect! It was at this point that I happened to stumble upon RoutePerfect on the Internet and what a blessing this turned out to be. I would highly recommend RoutePerfect to any person wanting to organise a trip to Europe. RoutePerfect is extremely user friendly. Within moments, I had my trip itinerary worked out and all the hotels booked and paid for. It not only provided maps of the areas, but details of the history of each place and what the worthwhile attractions would be. They also have links to Wikipedia if you were not satisfied with the information that they provided and wanted to read more, as well as links to TripAdvisor if one wanted to read up on the standard and quality of the hotels recommended. When I next travel to Europe or anywhere else, Route Perfect, will most definitely be my first port of call. Thank you for making my life so easy.
