Thank you for your email, our trip was amazing. I found the whole experience of using RoutePerfect brilliant. It made it so easy to plan your trip, and work out travelling time between each place, so we weren't in the car over 2 hours each journey. The hotels we chose were great. And the reviews were spot on. We loved our whole trip from start to finish and we have already discussed where we would like to go next year. So I will definitely be using RoutePerfect again.

My experience with RoutePerfect was better than I expected. The website was intuitive, the staff were extremely helpful and I can't think of a single bad experience with the RoutePerfect service. We had a wonderful trip. The hotels were what we expected them to be, except one which was WAY better than expected. With your site, I was able to plan our honeymoon with ease, without any travel agents. I'm lead to believe that we got the best hotel prices as well and I was happy with what we paid. I managed to save a lot of money for shopping :) Our Italy trip was amazing, and exactly how we imagined.
