Zulmy Revette
I’m Venezuelan living in Panama for 6 years now. I just fell in love with this country that offers beautiful landscapes, charming people, and great culture. Panama stands by its slogan: Much more than a Canal! I personally believe it’s totally true!
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize on tailor-made trips to discover Panama and all of its blessings."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I had already traveled a lot in my country, and during my years in college, I visited South America. I discovered a passion for traveling and meeting new cultures.
My arrival in tourism wasn't planeside though. I was studying Foreign Languages and was contacted by a local agency that needed someone with knowledge of the country. I found myself driven by the love of promoting the beauties of my country to the world and sharing my experiences.
When I moved to Panama it was natural for me to still be involved in tourism since it is a country that deserves to be discovered...It’s magical!"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"When I did the Mt. Roraima Trek! I always had this trip on my bucket list, but since it’s a very demanding trek (physically and mentally) I kept on postponing it.
When I finally decided to do it I was overwhelmed by the videos, experiences (good & bad) and photos, so I decided to just go for it and planned the whole thing.
I must say that I had never trained as hard as I did for this trek, but the breath-taking views over the “Sabana”, the wow factor that waited for me on the top of this “Tepuy”, the unique experience that I got to live, made every effort totally worth it!"

The services for our trip were all outstanding. Beginning with Zulmy who put together a trip that was well suited to our interests.
One of the best tour guides was Yesenia Yepez. Her knowledge of local animals and the environment was very impressive.
The other tour guide we'd like to mention is Erick Gonzalez. He was an exceptional young man and a great guide. Making dinner with his family was the highlight of the trip.
I really appreciate your comment Jeffrey. I will send your reviews to Jesenia and Erick!
Thank you for letting me help you with the preparation for this trip to Panama filled with a lot of cultural exchange!
Best,
Zulmy

Working With KimKim stared off rough. We had an agent who could not seem to connect with us nor was able to build an itinerary around our interests. Then we were given a new agent, cue Zulmy! Zulmy! was amazing! She saved our trip! She built a great itinerary with all of the activities we asked for! She was communicative and gave us a comprehensive outline of our trip. She was able to totally match our vibe to the locations. When arriving, transportation was seamless. All of the... read more

Zulmy, our local specialist, did a brilliant job - she was friendly, responsive and helped us have an unforgettable three week trip to Panama! We started in Darien (and would highly recommend Ecotours Darien) and spent some time with the local Embera community, before visiting Santa Catalina, Boquete, Bocas del Toro and finally Panama City.
It was a great pleasure to organize this trip for you and I thank you for your confidence during the preparation of the trip. And I also thank you for the comments you have sent us by mail as they allow us to improve our service! :)

Jun 23 - Jun 26, 2022
Working with Zulmy was a great experience as together we were able to setup a fantastic, first time trip to beautiful Panama. The balance of tours, and sight-seeing expeditions was a perfect balance. We had some organized excursions where our Guides and Drivers handled all details, tickets, admittances, getting to the front of the lines, and even a meal here and there. However, we also had our own free-time to pursue what we wanted, and didn't want, to do.
Definitely recommend Panama... read more

We had a marvelous 8 days in Panama. Thanks kimkim! Our local specialist Zulmy was with us every step of the way. We had a much delayed flight in and she instantly rearranged a tour for us, she set up Covid tests before our flight back and even sent condolences about a sudden death in the family we had just found out about. Our driver Juan was such a pleasure - super punctual, pleasant and informative. (He claimed his English was terrible, but we were impressed.) We felt very well taken... read more

Thank you Zulmy, the guides at Tucaya, and Nadia for planning and executing my vacation in Panama. They all did a wonderful job putting together an itinerary. They were all available for me if I had any questions or needed assistance. I was a little hesitant traveling internationally due to COVID but they helped me navigate any obstacles. Also arranged for me to get a PCR COVID test prior to returning to the US. The process was very efficient. I had a wonder time exploring Panama in the... read more

The overall experience with Zulmy and Kim Kim went beyond my expectations. Zulmy was nice to work with via the internet, and the resulting trip was excellent and enjoyable. Your planning took all the worry and stress of traveling away so we could enjoy Panama to the fullest. Our driver, Roberto, and our 2 guides were excellent and fun to travel with. I will highly recommend KimKim to anyone wanting to organize a custom vacation experience like we had. Thank you !
Zulmy did a wonderful job for us. She understood our requests and provided good options. I think she did a great job.

We felt the length of the trip, the schedule, the accommodations, the personnel, etc. were all top notch. We knew essentially nothing about Panama before we went, so we weren't sure whether we were signing up for and engaging in things that would be meaningful or not. But, with Zulmy's help we together came up with a great itinerary that kept us happy and entertained and informed the entire time.
The only disappointment was that there were a couple of times where we were working together... read more
