We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect, even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.

I really enjoyed using RoutePerfect and will definitely be using it more in the future. I used to use another website, but not any more. Your site has much better hotels. All check-ins were smooth, and hotels were as advertised. The trip was great!
