After spending several years leading youth groups, and writing and directing youth leadership and wilderness programs, Kelsey switched gears and became a very successful global trip leader, guide trainer, and trip development expert for Backroads Tours.

As founder of the Be a Better Guide Project – Kelsey now dedicates his time, his passion and his considerable energy to breaking down what works as a guide, and what doesn’t. Then he packages it up in quick, entertaining, and easy to consume videos and blog articles and makes them available on his website and youtube channel for free. That’s right, for free!
Check out one of his popular videos here. You may just learn something entirely new, but at the very least it will reinforce and refresh your commitment to continue the good things you’re already doing so well.
We’ll be keeping in close contact with Kelsey as we expand our guide resource offerings, and establish new value-driven partnerships that help guides grow their businesses.
We agree heartily with Kelsey who says “I think all guides, everywhere, can learn and benefit from one another – no matter where we are on the globe. Think of it as next generation tour guide training!”
As a special bonus for GuideAdvisor Guides (and for a limited time only) – Kelsey is providing free VIP access to his brand new 4 Part Video Series – Lead Amazing Tours. Get started today using this exclusive VIP Access Pass
