My wife and I absolutely LOVED your website and it was a fantastic tool in our planning for our recent trip through Italy. The hotels and all accommodations were perfect and exactly as we requested. We will definitely be using your service again soon as we plan for our trip next summer to Portugal. We've already told many people who have asked what travel agent we used for the planning of our trip...Our answer was... RoutePerfect.com

The selection of hotels offered the perfect choice of quality hotels in our price range. As we traveled it was wonderful to know that each new hotel we arrived at would be as good if not better than the last. The team and RoutePerfect couldn't have been more helpful. I have recommend Rout Perfect to everyone, and we are already planning our next holiday with RoutePerfect. We had a holiday of a life time.
