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 !

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.

São Paulo is the largest and most populous city in the entire southern hemisphere, and welcomes and shelters people from all over Brazil and the world. For 12 million inhabitants, it is the city of dreams and challenges, of hope and achievements, of culture and shopping, of nature and architecture, and obviously of travel and tours, and in these I will be happy to accompany you on your stay over here. I love seeing the sparkle in tourists' eyes when they discover a new place. I want to share emotions and discoveries in special places on your visit to São Paulo. I'm tour guide accredited by Ministry of Tourism. Welcome to São Paulo!

Passionate about exploring the world through the eyes of those who live, interact, and truly experience the essence of the city. A nomadic traveler since the age of 17, he seeks to see each destination as a local, believing that only this way can one truly capture the inner and outer beauty of a place. His goal is to understand the soul of the environment and fully immerse himself in the authenticity and cultural richness of each experience. My goal is not just to be your guide, but a friend who shares with you the charm and beauty of the places we explore together. I want to reveal the true essence of the city—its life, routine, and daily rhythm—whether we’re walking, running, cycling, driving, or simply pausing to watch the world go by.

Alan D.

Hi and welcome! My name is Alan, I am 44 years old, and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Having been to 35 countries on all the continents of the world, and having lived in Australia, Holland, Israel and Argentina, I have had the opportunity to be in touch with different cultures and languages - and this grew my desire to show my city, Rio de Janeiro, to tourists. I am a licensed tour guide in Rio by EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Institute of Tourism, and have been a private guide in Rio de Janeiro since 2013, having carried out hundreds of private tours of Rio, and have become more and more in love with my city and with my job as a Rio Tour Guide. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and have a BA in Social Communication. When I'm not guiding, I enjoy writing, reading, spirituality, hiking and studying languages (I also speak intermediate French). In my private tours in Rio de Janeiro I use a 7-seater car (including me as rio de janeiro driver guide), and my motivation is to be flexible and to offer you tailor-made tours in Rio, customized to your needs and desires, optimizing your time in Rio. What I look for in each tour, is to provide you with an experience that you will remember for many years to come!

I am a tourist guide in the land of Iguaçu Falls, I have an inbound Tour Guide team and I work with private transport and tour guide services, all the free-lance guides that I have partnerships with are legalized with federal registration. My history with tourism begins in 1990 when I decided by chance to start working in this area, I really liked it and subsequently decided to take the Tourist Guide course offered by the federal government, subsequently I graduated in tourism at a local university, then graduated in administration . I like this area because it gives us the opportunity to meet people from different cultures every day, learning a lot from them, as well as being a dynamic and surprising job, as well as the satisfaction of showing our clients the countless attractions in our city and region.

“Sao Paulo Tour ”

My experiance with Ceclo was simply outstanding!! The tour was supposed to be a 5 hours tour, however we ended up with an 8 hour tour instead. Ceclo was generous enough to show the upmost tourist attractions in Sao Paulo in the most effective way possible, he was very acomodating to last minutes requests and was even willing to go the extra mile to extend the tour further. It is very rare to come across such a guide with sheer dedication, highly recomended to contact Celso for your trip to Sao Paulo, you will never regret it!!

“Best start in Rio”

We took this tour on the first morning in Rio, and it was a perfect start. Marcelo gave us an excellent overview of the city, showing us perspectives you wouldn’t find by yourself, and made us feel comfortable in Rio. His English is excellent, and he is passionate about his city. After this intro, we continued on our own, as we were confident that we are in safe areas. Obrigado, Marcelo!

Marcelo C.

Dear Mr. Drago's and family, Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure showing Rio to you. I am really happy that you enjoyed the Rio Photographic Tour. Best wishes.
