”My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Annie Replogle, as our personal travel designer for our 25 day trip to Italy. We were looking for someone to help us create a unique and memorable experience. Annie exceeded all our expectations. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Annie truly cared about crafting the perfect itinerary tailored to our timeline, interests, and level of activity. Not only is she a travel designer she is also a food and wine expert. She recommended restaurants, hidden gems, that are only prive’ to the locals. She paired wine suggestions with different meal choices if this is what you would like. What impressed us most was Annie’s extensive knowledge of the places we ventured. She provided us with hotel and airbnb choices which were extraordinary. She shared invaluable tips on the best times to visit certain attractions. She recommended and booked personal guided tours, booked drivers and secured reservations for popular venues. Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Annie was always available for questions or last minute changes and responded promptly, which gave us peace of mind during our travels. There was an unexpected medical emergency during our trip. Annie became the “take charge person”. She spoke to our medical team in real time and translated information that was critically important. She truly was our “Guardian Angel”. Thanks to Annie our trip was not only enjoyable but also enriched with personal touches that made it truly unforgettable. We highly recommend Annie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated and passionate, travel advisor.”

”We recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Rome curated by Annie Replogle of L’Avventoura Travel and it was, without question, the best experience we’ve ever had in the city. I’ve been to Rome six times before, but never like this. Annie is a true Italian expert—she’s lived, worked, and studied in Italy—and her passion and knowledge shine through in every detail. She crafted a completely bespoke itinerary for my wife and me, tailored precisely to our tastes. Every restaurant was handpicked for its exceptional food, service, and reputation. The owners knew we were coming and greeted us personally, which made every meal feel special. Our days were just as seamless: VIP, no-line access to major sites, private drivers who were always punctual, and exclusive experiences we never could have arranged on our own. Everything was flawless. What made the trip even more impressive was Annie’s team. They were available 24/7, ready to help with anything we needed—even though everything ran so smoothly we never had to call. From special access to hidden gems, to personalized dining and stress-free logistics, Annie Replogle created a hand-crafted, expertly curated trip we’ll never forget. If you want to experience Rome in a way that’s authentic, elevated, and completely customized, Annie is the one to trust. Highly, highly recommended.”

“My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with a beautiful three week Italian vacation, and we couldn't be more pleased with everything Annie did for us! We were looking for a blend of peaceful luxury, sightseeing, culinary adventures, and family friendly activities as we traveled through different regions with our 2-year-old daughter. Annie found us gorgeous hotels in Lake Como, Florence, Rome, Umbria and the seaside cliffs of Gaeta, but our favorite was our stay in the Tuscan countryside at a stunning agriturismo just minutes away from Montepulciano. She handled our transportation to and from each destination which included private drivers, train tickets, and a week-long rental car - her wise recommendation to give us some travel freedom and save us a few bucks...which we inevitably spent on shipping cases of wine home! In each location she booked reservations at the best restaurants, and gave personalized notes on what to do in each neighborhood. She also planned wine tastings and tours, boat rentals, catamaran day trips, cooking classes, and wonderful recommendations to accommodate all three of us. Working with Annie was just as wonderful as our trip. We had a few meetings to discuss what we wanted out of the trip and then we chatted via emails and phone calls to finalize the final itinerary. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and she made us feel really comfortable with the entire planning process. We absolutely loved our trip and we keep recommending Annie to any of our friends and family who are looking forward to a beautiful travel experience like us. We can't wait to go back to Italy and work with Annie again!”

“Annie is an absolute standout in the world of luxury travel. From the moment we began planning our first-ever 2.5-week trip to Italy, she demonstrated an exceptional level of thoughtfulness, patience, and professionalism. Every element of our journey—from our seamless arrival to our final departure—was executed with precision and care. Annie curated an itinerary that reflected our personal tastes and exceeded every expectation. She considered details we never would have imagined, crafting a perfectly balanced experience of culture, cuisine (including specific dietary needs), and relaxation. Her insider connections throughout Italy granted us access to exclusive restaurants, hidden-gem experiences, and the very best gelato shops that most travelers would never find. What truly distinguishes Annie is her genuine dedication and attentiveness. She was always available for any last-minute adjustments or questions, ensuring that we felt supported at every step of our travels. Annie’s expertise, warmth, and passion for creating unforgettable experiences make her a rare talent in luxury travel. If you’re looking for a seamless, exquisitely tailored Italian adventure, entrust Annie—you’ll experience Italy in a way few ever do.”

“Our trip to Italy with my family started and ended in Rome. Using Annie’s services was the best decision that I made. She designed itinerary options that reflected everything we had discussed, and the curated tours she arranged were thoughtfully chosen, authentic, and far beyond the typical travel experience. The transportation that she planned was seamless. She listened to my preferences for dining and made reservations for us at perfect locations. My stay in Rome was worry-free and packed with wonderful experiences and accommodations. I would recommend Annie to anyone traveling to Italy and will definitely use her again on a return trip.”

“We started planning a trip (nine of us) in February 2025 for late August 2025. We were taking a cruise through Italy and Spain. We planned to spend two days in Rome before the cruise and two days in Rome afterward. Obviously, there are so many things to see, do, and eat in Rome, and we wanted to capture as much of the city’s essence as possible. One day, I came across Annie’s page on Instagram and immediately fell in love with how real and genuine she was. Nothing was for show — she truly looked like she was enjoying the places she visited and the food she ate. So, I decided to contact her and ask for help planning the four days we’d be spending in Rome. Best decision ever. She planned everything — transportation, hotels, food, tours — and everything was spot on. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. She listened to our requests and made them happen. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to experience Rome at its finest. Her attention to detail was incredible.”

“My clients were over the moon. I look forward to working together again.”

“Annie planned our family trip to Rome and the Tuscan Coast and we couldn’t have been happier. She secured reservations at incredible restaurants we hadn’t been able to book ourselves and arranged amazing activities from private museum tours to beach clubs and local wineries. She was very responsive whenever we had any questions. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
