Planning was fun and your crew was really helpful. I had a problem with the website accepting my credit card, and I panicked because my first choice for a Berlin hotel was unavailable when I re-entered my info. I found out it had gone through and I had paid twice. The support team was very quick to get my refund. The accommodations were good. I was satisfied with RoutePerfect and have already recommended it to friends!

My experience with RoutePerfect was fantastic! I really appreciate your service's help in planning my Europe trip! The planning process was seamless Everything was just fantastic with RoutePerfect, so again I thank you. I was very satisfied - 10 out of 10 with RoutePerfect. The package price was reasonable. In fact, I have already told several friends who are planning upcoming Europe trips about it, and they will be using it!
