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.

Come with me through the Zungu Circuit of the Black Cuisine and compose this story with us! We will start our journey at the meeting point at Praça Mauá or if you prefer, make a prior reservation for pick up at your hotel. From our starting point we will head to the top visited attraction of the Sugar Loaf Mountain. Take the cable car toward the Urca Hill, while I share the place history and curious facts about it. Cruise the rain forest toward the art district of Santa Teresa and visit the tiled steps of Selarón in Lapa and Cinelândia. I can assure you that you will be amazed on how your experiences will vary throughout the day on a perfect and smooth combination of places and foodies!
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 you are having such a great time. I will return to Rio, but only if Kelly is available!
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
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.
