I came across your site and immediately found it extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate. All of the available options, the layout, the mapping ability, and the hotel selection simulation and pricing calculations were honestly as easy as the click of the button. The live and direct links to TripAdvisor were extremely helpful! I have to say, despite reading the testimonials, I was really nervous about using it, but eventually your site proved to just have better pricing overall and easier mode of selection. And I realized everything worked SO SMOOTHLY! Every check-in experience was ultimately seamless. It left more time for enjoying our travel :) I honestly believe that using RoutePerfect was one of the best online customer experiences I have ever had, if not THE BEST. Your staff was extremely responsive, and made me feel truly at ease by being friendly, courteous and reassuring. RoutePerfect is honestly THE BEST TRIP PLANNING tool I have ever used. I have already recommended RoutePerfect to my group of friends. And I honestly can't wait to use your site for booking my next European adventure.

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.
