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!

RoutePerfect was the answer we were looking for! The trip budget options and the the reviews of the hotels gave us a feeling for what to expect when we got there. Pricing was very manageable - we opted for a Moderate Trip, and we easily stayed within our own budget! The website was easy to use, auto or manual mode. The trip was made a lot easier by the simplified accommodation selection process and having our hotels pre-paid.
