Amanda Kudlas

I wanted to take a moment to share a HUGE thank you to Amanda for planning what can only be described as the perfect girls trip to Italy! From start to finish, every detail was flawless—from the VRBO's, hotels, and charming local experiences, to the wine tasting @ De Ricci in Montepulciano, guided tour to the Vatican in Rome, to the absolute breathtaking charter boat tour along the Amalfi coast, and those once-in-a-lifetime moments that we’ll be talking about for years!!! You truly listened to what we were hoping for and somehow made it even better than we imagined! Every day brought something new and exciting, and yet everything flowed so smoothly. We never had to worry about transportation, tickets, or logistics—just soak in the beauty, the food, and the laughs with each other. You made this dream trip not only possible, but unforgettable. I’ve already recommended you to several friends, and I’ll absolutely be reaching out again for the next adventure! With sincere gratitude, Ki

Amanda makes travel planning easy and stress free!

Wow! The views were breathtaking! Three days on the restful island of Morrea. Amanda recommended e-bike rentals to see the island and a sunset boat cruise around the island. We found some great local restaurants Ruby’s is a must! Then headed to our cruise on the Star Breeze with Windstar! This was top notch! Most travel was a night while we slept. Staff was amazing! The food aboard was out of this world! The excursions were like being on another plant! We snorkeled for our own pearls, swam with black tip reef sharks, swam with sting rays, saw Nemo and Dori in their own habitat! Then on the ship lots to do, gym, shows, pool, whirlpool etc! This was a must do adventure! Take your spouse and some friends, then go see what life is about!

What a Fantastic trip, all thanks to Amanda. She had everything booked and planned out for us. It started right when we landed and we had a concierge meeting us to help us thru everything at the port so we could sit down and enjoy a Red Stripe while we waited for the bus to take us to the resort. Any questions or help, Amanda was only a email away. Thank you So Much for Everything. We can’t wait to have you Help Book Our Next Adventure!

My husband and I had the incredible opportunity to surprise our daughter with an engagement celebration in enchanting Italy. From the moment we landed, she effortlessly navigated us through the labyrinth of transportation options, ensuring our journey was seamless. We traveled from the romantic canals of Venice to the breathtaking hills of Tuscany, each destination more stunning than the last. Throughout our adventure, Amanda was our guiding light. She was there with us every step of the way, patiently fielding calls and answering our myriad of questions, making us feel at ease in a foreign land. Thank you, Amanda, for embodying the role of not just a travel agent but a trusted member of our family. You've become an integral part of our lives, and we will always turn to YOLO for our travel needs. I can’t wait to reach out soon to plan our next unforgettable adventure!

Amanda was great in helping us get connected with excursions and car rentals. Super easy and the experience was amazing!

My daughter and nephew had a blast on their European Vacation. YOLO Vacations arranged all their hotel stays in each country (France, Chech Republic, Greece, and Italy) and in some great hotels that were not overpriced and she found great rates for their round trip tickets from the States! Awesome trip! That didn’t break the bank account!

Amanda was absolutely fantastic! We wanted to go to the Florida Keys and had no clue how to make it all happen. Amanda gave us all our options and helped us to refine our choices. Everything she recommended was wonderfully perfect! She even got us home earlier on an earlier flight when our final day got rained out. I would recommend Amanda to all of our friends and family and will absolutely work with her on our next trip!

Amanda was there every step of the way. She helped us out even when our airline had a bird strike. We were diverted back to Vancouver. Resulting in missing our transfers. She rebooked us for the following day. If you are looking for a great travel agent she is the one. Thank you Amanda.

While this is our 5th cruise as a couple, this is my mom’s first cruise ever! My mom has dementia that affects her short term memory. I can tell you she has not forgotten this experience. She mentions many moments of our cruise and even stated she cannot wait to go again. Amanda at YOLO Vacations made this so easy for us. And her generosity to have champagne waiting for us at our arrival was so sweet and made my mom feel like a celebrity! Thank you so much! We can’t wait to work with you again for our next trip!

Amanda is the best travel agent! Always timely with her responses and quick to fix issues that arise. She always keeps us informed of flight delays, etc. Amanda worked wonders to get us the most value for a wonderful trip. Our flights had to be changed due to a family illness and Amanda worked very hard to get those flights adjusted with the least amount due and acceptable times. You won't be disappointed with her services!

Amanda was extremely helpful and professional organizing our 7 day cruise. She assisted with getting our family the best AMEX benefits, military discounts, 2 balcony rooms that connected, finding us rooms that were easy for first timers, and getting us booked for excursions through the app Viator. 10/10 would recommend using this lovely women again and again. She knows cruising, it’s her favorite.

Amanda planned the most unforgettable Bali experience for us! From visiting Lempuyang Temple and the breathtaking Tirta Gangga Water Palace to the jungle swing, giant bird’s nest, and coffee plantation tour where we even made our own coffee — every detail was perfectly curated. Our private transportation made everything seamless, and staying at the stunning InterContinental Bali Resort was the cherry on top. The food, the views, the experiences — absolutely amazing. Amanda didn’t just book a trip… she created memories we’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend!

From the the day we began planning, to the day we boared, Amanda was responsive, kept a careful watch on price changes, and was over all a pleasure to work with. She reached out whenever there was a special on excursions, dinners, etc. She presented many options for overnight stays and flights if we needed. We we're so happy, we booked another cruise while still on the ship and of course with our favorite travel agent. Thanks Amanda!!!

My brother and I had a great time on the MSC Seascape this past January. Traveling to Costa Maya, Roatan and Cozumel. Amanda was very helpful in setting up the cruise and even helped on a last minute hiccup on my side. Amanda is very responsive and excited for your trip and needs.

Knowing that Amanda is an experienced world traveler with a ton of cruise expertise, we instantly felt confident turning to her for help. From the very beginning — choosing the right cruise line to selecting the best location on the ship — she guided us so smoothly and set our trip up for success from day one. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we always knew what the next step was, and anytime we had a question, she was right there to help. Unfortunately, we had some unexpected medical concerns come up and thought we’d have to cancel our trip. Amanda immediately jumped in, helped us research our options, and sent everything we needed to work with our credit card company. She made sure we had all the right information and told us to let her know when to move forward. Thankfully, there was a schedule change about three weeks before departure, and with doctor clearance, we were able to go after all — and we enjoyed the most amazing, long-awaited honeymoon. Not only is Amanda always available when you need her, but her personal travel experience truly shines through. Chances are, she’s already been on the cruise you’re asking about! Her knowledge, willingness to help, and fun, caring personality make her an absolutely top-notch travel agent. She genuinely aims to please — and it shows.

Amanda was fantastic with answering all my questions and helpful with flights and hotels and transfers. Very knowledgeable! I wouldn’t be able to do it without her!

It was such a great trip. Amanda took care of everything. It was a breeze to travel.

2nd time using AMANDA, YOLO, you out do yourself everytime. We requested a hotel close and pay to park.. You nailed it, parked car for cheap, stayed at amazing hotel, and the car showed up at exactly 1100, then you said faster to Fun, I wasn't a fan but I did then.… boom got to port and I dropped bags off and ordered a Rita at 11:49. I won't use anyone else, YOLO, please plan my 50 birthday .

Amanda was always 10 steps ahead letting us know every detail about the trip that needed to be planned. Her response time was within minutes all hours of the day. She truly knows her business and values her customers. We will use her for all trips moving forward, plus tell all our friends!

Amanda planned our Tahitian cruise on Windstar to include a few nights stay ahead at Hilton Moorea Resort. From start to finish, all details to include some adjustments due to local holidays were executed flawlessly by Amanda. We had the time of our lives cruising around French Polynesia and it’s all because of Amanda. Our 4-year anniversary trip was one we will never forget and will be hard to beat next year.

Breath taking views from our accommodations in Amalfi Coast and Montepulciano. Loved walking all the venues including Rome, Florence, and Pozzuoli. what great ease we had with our travel arrangements made by Amanda.

I cannot thank Amanda enough for all she did to ensure our vacation was perfect; 5 women traveling. Planning sessions were most helpful so as to assure that we could plan the number of days in each city and identify the priority excursions and tours. Her knowledge, guidance, and ticketing of transportation services such as trains, ferries, taxies, etc. assured that we maximized our time for enjoying each city/town, and all travel went smoothly. VRBO accommodations that Amanda secured were spectacular! Each one with the “vibe” of the town or region we were in. She assured that we were positioned close to points of interest and with easy access to public transportation. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. We flew into Naples, stayed in Pazzuoli ( even experienced an 4.4 earthquake!), and took the ferry to Capri for a day. From there we traveled to Rome, Florence, Montepulciano, then back to Naples and Pompeii. The last days were spent on the Amalfi coast and stayed in a hidden gem

Amanda was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient while helping book our cruise. She answered all questions, (even the ridiculous & redundant ones) She even left us a beautiful thank you in our stateroom. I can’t recommend Amanda enough! She does a lot of traveling herself, so she definitely knows, firsthand, what she’s talking about. Be sure to book with YOLO!

Amanda’s ability to understand my vision and create the perfect trip to Italy for 5 women made our experience better than we could imagine! Her trip itinerary guided us through every step in our journey with additional helpful tips that made our trip even more enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation!

We recently worked with Amanda to plan our annual family trip (long overdue family vacation) for a 4-night cruise! After discussing our vision for this trip, we managed to squeeze in Disney World on top, and that put the icing on the cake. From the beginning, Amanda listened closely to our intent, and took her time planning every detail to make this a trip of a lifetime. She stayed within our budget and ensured we got every cent worth through the whole vacation! Communication was excellent throughout the entire planning process. Amanda was always available to answer our questions and provide support, making us feel valued and well taken care of. Her attention to detail and personal touch made this trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Amanda Kudlas for anyone looking to plan a family vacation. We can’t wait to plan our next trip! Thanks AK!

Amanda is a godsend. We came to her with our plans and she made our vision come to life. Everything was seamless and every detail of our time spent in London was well thought out…from our pickup at the airport, to the train ride (with precise directions for our routes), to dinner ideas…and not to mention the amazing hotel we stayed in. I’m so grateful for our Amanda! We just got back and we’re already planning our next trip. PLEASE book through her…you won’t regret it!
