Your website was a gem to find online. It gave me a sense of what our girls could do on a trip to Spain. Ultimately, your website was the deciding factor on how to accomplish their trip. Your support team was awesome. As we developed a relationship, they were more than helpful. The two times we asked for changes during the trip, customer support was on board to help. It was a good feeling to hear back from them with multiple choices and I never felt like it was a pain for them. Bottom line... we love RoutePerfect.

My wife and I had a marvelous trip to Italy and we will cherish the memories. Additionally, we were thoroughly pleased with our itinerary and the package that was provided by RoutePerfect. I have your website bookmarked and I will definitely be using it again in the future!
