My name is Guilherme, born and raised in Rio, and I've been working as a guide for about 17 years. I'm a full time guide and I really love what I do. I offer a personalized service, providing you the best experience, always with a different look of Rio de Janeiro and other places. On March of 2019 I became an amputee but that didn't stop me, It just made me see things in another way and that's part of the experience I try to show people !!! Get off the beaten track and come discover Rio with me !

Kelly T.

Brazil

I have a background MA in Arts Management at the University of Oregon in the USA and I am a professional tour guide since 2014 in Brasil. I am passionate about nature, culture and the arts. I am an ever adventurous person, always looking forward to connect 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. Storyteller, arts educator and tour guide, three main activities that Kelly Tavares, born and raised in Rio, has been practicing for years. Photography, art and traveling three hobbies she has cultivated since graduation at the School of Fine Arts of Brazil. I am a Community Cultural Producer, multicultural facilitator and language teacher, three professional activities which have 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 livestreamed 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.

My professional background is based on hospitality and I've been working in great sports events in the city such as FIFA World Cup Brazil in 2014 and in Rio Summer Olympic Games in 2016.

Luis D.

Brazil

My name is Luis and I was born and raised in Rio. I believe I have always been a tour guide. I use to bug my kindergarten teacher to do show-and-tell every other day. Now every day is show-and-tell! I get to show off my city, and take people to see places I like to go and do the things that I love to do. In 2003, after living for 8 years abroad, I've decided to come back to my hometown, and for the past 17 years I've been working full time as a licensed and accredited private tour guide in Rio. I'm quite fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and have a degree in tourism and an MBA in environmental management.

Bar Hopping at its best!

Kazu found a great vegan ramen bar to start the evening, which was very tasty. We then discussed possible options for bars, among them such a great Sake place. Thanks for the great evening!

Amazing Tour to Nara

Hiroki planned such an incredible tour through Nara. He organized a craft workshop where we made our own brushes with a master. It was amazing, he translated everything on the fly since the lady barely spoke any English. It would have been almost impossible to organize on our own, and it would have been very intimidating, although she was very nice. We then walked around a lot, went to many different places of interests, everything was timed perfectly. He does the tour to Nara a lot, so he has a lot of experiences on how to handle the deer feeding as well, which was greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great day Hiroki!

Amazing Tour through Kyoto

Ana guided us so well through all the interesting and also less crowded places in Kyoto. She planned everything so well, oftentimes we would see masses of people coming to places that we were just about to leave, so just in time. What I found really incredible is that she even go to the vegan place beforehard to try it out, just because she didn't want to go with us anywhere that she didn't know beforehand! Thank you so much for the amazing day Ana!

Amazing Tour - Well Planned - Great Guide

Akira picked us up at the hotel and we sat in the lobby to quickly evaluate our options, as the flea market we wanted to go to got cancelled. Very quickly he came up with a new plan to explore some more local neighbourhoods that felt much more like the real Tokyo compared to the neon sign areas. He guided us so well and all the transportation was so seamless, it was hard to reconcile in the evening all the areas we've been to. We had some of the best fruits we've ever had, amazing experiences at so many small shops that we would have never dared to go into alone, and at the end he even guided us to a ramen place that had incredible vegan ramen for my wife! Thank you Akira for that amazing day! :)
