Your site is easy to navigate and being able to request breakfast and parking was fantastic. Mapping out a route based on where we wanted to visit was easy and we could tweak it so we didn’t have huge distances between locations . Your team is very efficient and they sorted a new hotel that met our requirements when one was unavailable. The hotels were excellent, clean to a high standard, and, staff were friendly.

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
