Polar Expeditions

My dream adventure was to go to Antarctica. Mariyana made it come true In a way that exceeded all my expectations. After one traveling companion dropped out and another joined many of the plans had to be reorganized. Mariyana handled all of that with efficiency and enthusiasm, constantly making suggestions for additional experiences that added tremendous value. Thank you so much.

Can not believe the level of attention, care, and understanding that Mariyana put into our absolutely mind-blowing adventure across S America to a boat to Antarctica, S Georgia, and the Falklands/Malvinas. Adventure every day, tailored to our interests, and with so much thought. (I also jumped into this trip replacing another traveler and was woven into all the details seamlessly.) Adventure magic found. Thanks!! (Whatever you are contemplating: do it. YOLO!)

Mariyana was fantastic throughout the whole process of planning our European Ski Adventure! She was easy to work with, available and willing to help us in every step of this process. We are so glad we found Mariyana with YOLO Dream Adventure Travel and look forward to planning our next adventure with her!!

Wonderful experience! Mariyanna not only did a fabulous job planning my trip to Iceland but dealt with flight cancelations that happened on the way home. She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend!

The absolutely stark white glove experience. The YOLO team truly made dreams come true for our family Africa trip. From airport ease to mind blowing experiences not to mention fabulous lodging every detail was planned and executed with better customer service than I have experienced in years. We cant thank Mariyana and the YOLO team enough. Hope to plan another trip soon, thank you.

Mariyana created the most amazing climbing adventure for me that I ever could have imagined. She went above and beyond to find a unique experience that surpassed all of my expectations. She had a plan for everything, and was extremely responsive and adaptive throughout the entire process. I had some difficulties and flight changes while abroad and she made the entire process absolutely seamless and stress free so that we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. I will never travel without a Mariyana again!

Mariyana was absolutely fantastic, and I couldn’t ask for a better planned trip. The trip was exactly what I envisioned, and she thought of great suggestions to add into the trip when I couldn’t think of any myself. I gave her ideas of what I wanted, and she delivered in full. I felt fully safe and secure during the entire trip, and this was due to Mariyana’s extreme attention to detail and thoughtfulness for every part of the trip. She was also extremely patient with me and worked around issues that arose as soon as possible. I couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent to plan a trip, and I know I will use her again to plan similar adventures in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Mariyana if you want to have your dream trip.

Mariyana planned us the most amazing adventure in Costa Rica while fulfilling all our requests and preferences. We wanted to go off the beaten path and she lined us up with a phenomenal guide/driver who really enhances our experience. Even our guide was amazed at the special touches Mariyana lined up – things he has never experienced in his 20 years of being a local guide!

We were so pleased with this trip experience that we have recommended Mariyana -at YOLO Dream Adventure Travel- to a few friends already.

Mariyana was absolutely amazing to work with. Within a two week timeframe, she helped book and plan a family holiday ski adventure. As it turned out this trip happened during the snow and ice storms, which delayed travel across the US, and Mariyana helped tremendously with getting us home safely, and on time. She was readily available by phone and text the entire trip to assist with any issues. For those looking to use a company for their travel arrangements, I would highly recommend using Mariyana for your next trip.

She was so attentive at checking in periodically and always during the pivotable moments of the trip. My trip had many moving components as not everyone in the party arrived or left at the same time and were actually in entirely different cities at times. Mariyana always checked in and even as another reviewer also wrote let me know when my gate had changed.
I would HIGHLY recommend her service. You can tell she LOVES her job and provides nothing short of an excellent experience.

Mariyana did a fantastic job! She made our dream adventure come true! She thought of everything. She also kept in very close contact with us to make sure it all went smoothly. We cannot thank her enough for all she has done.

I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu on a group trip planned by Mariyana. There were a lot of moving parts with transfers to/from the airport, hotels, the trail, … and everything went smoothly. The food was great, the guides and supporting crew were great. I really had a wonderful time.
