As far as your suggested package was concerned, it suited us perfectly. Before we travelled, we knew what we wanted but didn’t really know how to go about it as we knew little about the cities we wanted to visit, or the hotels which would do the job. My wife just happened upon your website and it really did a great job for us - just enter the cities we wanted to visit and hey, presto! An itinerary! Everywhere we went, the hotels were expecting us and the trip went according to plan. We were happy with the general quality and price of the hotels, and your site was a great help, so we thoroughly enjoyed the break. Thanks!

It was the first time my wife and I took a trip where we were dependent on public transport, so being confident in the hotel arrangements was essential to us. The trip was an experiment to see if we would enjoy this kind of holiday, and the answer is a big yes and we intend to go on more ambitious journeys in the future. RoutePerfect provides an excellent service to anyone wishing to plan a holiday that can be molded to fit your individual requirements. Response to inquiries were quick and I would not hesitate to recommend RoutePerfect. Keep up the good work, we hope to be in touch in the near future.
