I'm Amelie, your local expert for Panama

Active online: 13h ago
Travel has always been part of who I am. After living in the U.S. while completing my studies, I had the opportunity to connect with people from all over the world and discover different cultures, traditions, and cuisines. Returning to Panama gave me a new appreciation for my home and inspired me to help others experience it beyond the usual tourist attractions. For the past four years, I have specialized in designing tailor-made journeys across Panama. I take the time to understand each client's interests, travel style, and expectations to create experiences that truly feel personal. Whether you're looking for nature, culture, adventure, wildlife, or gastronomy, I'll help you discover the authentic Panama.

15-day couple trip to Panama

“The setting up process was painful. I felt like I did much of the work and that was the entire point of going through this travel assist was to not go through that. That being said, the effort paid off and everything was flawless during the trip. We loved 100% of all our activities, tours, guides, hotels, etc.”

“Yes Amelie did plan an interesting trip. The trip is over priced and we will not be doing this trip”

9-day couple trip to Panama

“All the arrangements that Amilie suggested and we agreed to were wonderful. The places we stayed and visited, the drivers were perfect and enabled us to travel in Panama, with which we were very unfamiliar, with comfort and peace of mind. The special care she took to arrange a unique VIP tour was exactly, in fact even more than, what we were looking for. There was just one minor glitch in communication with a driver that gave us a temporary concern. But all was worked out in an hour. Thanks Amilie and Insight Guides. We recommend you without qualification.”

“We used Rough Guides for a recent 11-day trip through Panama for our family of three. We have previously used them for a trip through Colombia. Both times, everything was great! We had fun, friendly and knowledgeable local guides. Our drivers, activities and accommodations were all excellent. All the logistics were taken care of and everything ran smoothly and as expected, so all we had to do was turn up at the appointed times and enjoy the adventure. Thanks for making our travels easy and memorable!”
