I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.

My husband and I enjoyed our days in Switzerland immensely. Each hotel was perfect for us. Each was different. Each was in a great place for walking trips and good food. We were a bit nervous about the reservations, but you exceeded our expectations. We will use RoutePerfect again and tell others about the great tools you have that make trip planning so much fun. Thank you.
