I'm Kelly d., your private tour guide in Rio De Janeiro
Guide #52505
I am passionate about nature, culture and the arts. I am an ever adventurous person, always looking forward to connecting with diverse cultures and valuing their traditions. I seek and invite you to try out the unexpected, to feel the flavors and vibes, to experience live music, the scents of coffees and cachaças' spirit, fresh food, and the lush scenery of Rio. Come experience our cultural ancestry through nature and material and immaterial traces. I live each moment with enthusiasm and I share it with people who want to live the same, worshiping life with passion and connecting with others. I am Kelly, storyteller, arts educator, and tour guide. I was born and raised in rio, and for years I have been practicing photography, and the art of living. Helping others traveling safe and and responsibly is a profession I have been investing on since my graduation as certified tour guide. I consider myself a multicultural facilitator an activity which has been part of my life since graduation from the University of Oregon, USA. I work with love for the causes I believe and I will share unforgettable moments in Rio, through authentic experiences, mixing present and past, personal and cultural history, and a bit of everything you can imagine. I have been running presentation and live streamed virtual tours for two years already, having developed and used different transmedia methods, such as audio guides, virtual livestreamed and multimedia presentations to showcase and present Rio de Janeiro. I am a qualified tour guide at national CADASTUR ID 1902673296-2 I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

If you have the opportunity to engage MS Kelly Tavares for a tour of Rio de Janeiro YOU MUST DO IT. Otherwise you visit will be less than it could've been. She is exceptionally well versed in cultural understanding, in where all key sites are and what they have meant to the development of Brazil and Rio. Further her pleasant style makes time go by exceptionally fast as...

Kelly is very knowledgeable and we appreciated her giving us costume props to blend into the carnival crowd Because of block parties, we did a lot of driving around We also felt the tour was cut short a little bit but great experience overall

Apologies, the tour was not cut short. We had to find short cuts to drible the street block parties and therefore we agreed within a 6h tour. Please check back onour messages. Unfortunately with this misunderstanding we paid the 4 star rating price. That´s a shame. But that´s the world we live in. Have safe travels.

Kelly is THE best. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and warm. We greatly enjoyed our time with her and only negative (if it can even be called that) was our time with her was too short :) . We got to learn about RJ street food, coffee, and local rum!

hehe thank you so much! This is a real spirited review. By the way what is the name of the spirit which makes the Brazilian national drink, caipirinha?!

Kelly T is an expert. She has a profound knowledge of every place I visited and she anticipated my preferences as I consider myself not the average sightseeing tourist. She was most friendly and welcoming. I consider her a jewel in the ToursbyLocals crown.
