in their words

"Thank you for putting everything together for our visit to the Amalfi Coast, even my parents (who are Italian) were incredibly impressed with your knowledge and suggestions! It was so nice not having to worry about planning and knowing that you'd taken care of the whole itinerary, and if we wanted to change anything it was never too much trouble which we appreciated. Thanks again!"

“Donna & Team are amazing. We've been working with them for about 18 months now and trust them entirely with our clients. I am a boutique destination event planner based in San Francisco, CA. We plan experiences for intimate (250 and under) groups for events in locations across the world. We entrust Donna to help with many services aside from the general scope of a travel agency. Donna has honed in on her skills for location scouting, aiding as a travel concierge for our clients and my team. We rely heavily on her many logistics leading up to the events, including site visits, and on the weekend or week-of. She has impeccable taste and truly cares about the guest experience. From my POV, she is worth her weight in gold. She is a breeze to work with as well. We work with a few travel partners, and Donna is top of our list. River House Private Travel is a trusted partner that we can not wait to keep referring for years to come! Thank you!”

“I can't recommend River House enough! Donna and the team have booked us some amazing trips. Hotels etc I never would have found even if I'd spent hours on google.”

I really love working with River House. I’ve always booked my own travel arrangements but it’s time consuming and you never know if you’re really finding the best options out there. Since finding Donna there’s no way I’ll just book a trip directly again. Her insight into destinations is fantastic, and it’s really reassuring knowing there’s someone there to help if needed. And she really will find the best hidden gems!

River House Private Travel has the BEST customer service. My friend booked them to help with logistics for an international wedding and they quickly found me a hotel in the Lake Como area at the right price point that was absolutely stunning. They're fast working people with great communication skills, I'd high recommend them to anyone!

— NADIYAH B. -

I absolutely love working with River House & could not recommend Donna and the team enough! They are extremely responsive and helpful with any travel needs and are always willing to go the extra mile for their clients. They always have the best recommendations and make the entire planning process so smooth!

After booking a discovery call with Donna we gave the go-ahead straight away for her to organise our honeymoon to South Africa for us. It was clear that she had tuned into the exact vibe we wanted. Our first itinerary was pretty much perfect. We were only organising for a couple of months ahead at the time and so we were really impressed with what she was able to come up with and very appreciative that we didn’t have to take the time to do it ourselves. A few covid related speed bumps along the way and Donna never wavered from her totally professional can do attitude. Every detail can be taken off your hands should you so wish. We had the best Honeymoon ever and Donna is the thank for a lot of that. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommended Donna’s services for a special trip.

“Thank you so much for your help with everything. I knew we were right to book through you when you put together our itinerary but the support you’ve given over the past few days with having to change all our plans has been invaluable. I can’t imagine how much time I would have spent sorting all that out alone.”

— CHRIS M. -

“I just wanted to thank you so much for organising everything, I literally can’t tell you how grateful I am, how much you saved my life with this. I just would not have had time, especially in the build-up to the wedding! I don’t know how I would have done this, so thank you so much. AND your recommendations were amazing, Palazzo Avino is now our favourite place in the whole world, I think that just made the honeymoon, it really did, it was utterly incredible… all your recommendations were stunning and perfect for us and we had a lovely time. Basically, you’re the bomb. Thank you so much.”

“We had such an amazing weekend, thank you. The guide you found to take us on the photography tour was perfect, he was so helpful and we got some amazing shots. Best couple of days with the girls.”

— JAMIE C. -

“Ahhh Donna I can’t believe it’s all over!! We had the most amazing time and cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. I’m really going to miss our planning calls …… we’ve got to start looking at next years trip ASAP lol! Thank you so much I could not have pulled this off without your help XOXO”

— CARLEY H. -

We’re not using anyone else now. The girls do everything for you and are patient when I had so many questions even when it was late in the evening and I was panicking about not having ‘control’. I’ll never go back to booking myself again.”

— MICHELLE F. -

“We are forever grateful to Donna who graciously agreed to manage all our transport needs for our wild Namibian elopement and curate a dreamy pre-wedding trip to Qatar. We had demanding needs for flights for a party of 6, all with different travel dates and requirements. Donna did an amazing job researching, finalising and managing these flight bookings. There was added complexity with airline cancellations and schedule changes, but all the stress was removed because Donna managed everything for us. We felt in such good hands. Donna also created a bespoke itinerary for a 4-day stay in Qatar. The transport was seamless, the accommodation out of this world and the activities and excursions everything we could have hoped for. We have already given Donna a list of other destinations we want to visit in 2023, and we can’t wait to see what she curates. We highly recommend River House for all your travel needs!”

“I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you and your team for the help for our first destination workshop, you did go out of your way to help and without you, we wouldn’t have had the success and brilliant organisation. We will most definitely be back in touch later on in the year ready to plan our next destination workshop for next year!”

“Our family has always pursued excellence in every aspect of our lives, including our travels. When we discovered River House, it was as if we had stumbled upon a hidden gem in the vast landscape of luxury travel. Their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to personalized service have consistently surpassed our expectations. Each journey they've crafted for us has been an exquisite blend of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

“I just wanted to email and say a BIG thank you for all your hard work with our shoot in Morocco in October. It was a tremendous success and your hard work and itinerary made the whole experience so good. From the riad and hotel bookings, to the transfers and flights. You made the trip very enjoyable. We were genuinely so so pleased with everything. The shoot itself went so well, which made it all so worth while…Thank you once again Donna, you made it a trip we will never forget.”
