Best of Niemeyer - Niemeyer is the Best! - Flavio Ambrosio was our driver and friendly guide. He spoke decent English and gave us an enjoyable running commentary as we moved through the monumental axis zone focusing on Niemeyer’s key buildings and structures. We covered the best of the lot and the time allowed was ample and we did not feel rushed. But it was super hot today so we stayed under cover most of the time. We had a very nice cooling lunch at the amazing Casa de Chá Senac - service was impeccable and food was very refined. Flavio was very patient with us. Great job!

Wonderful architecture tour - Wonderful exploration of Brasilian architecture, political structure and history. History of the city, organization and development was presented in a nice and manageable way. Very nice trip that could not have been accomplished by ourselves.

Four hour tour to key spots in Brasilia - Our guide Favio was great! He was so knowledgeable about all the key spots in Brasilia and we spent just the right amount of time in each location. His English was very good and we had a nice time getting to know him and Brasilia. A tour is a really good way to see the city in a short amount of time. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour of Brasilia. Highly recommend it! - Our guide, Albierto, was really good. One of the best guides I have used around the world. Two things stood out. He was a very good communicator. He reached out to us the night before with some important instructions and to finalized our meeting time. He was also very knowledgeable. He was able to answer our many many questions about history, architecture, Brazilian culture and politics, etc. I would gladly take another tour with him.

A City Tour with rich explanations - The service was rich. Our guide Alberto knew a lot of things about the city. He could have taken us many more places but we were too tired and wanted to go back to the airport. At each point, he explained us a lot including how people live and how the cost of real estate etc., which only the natives and residents can provide. We wish we had been less tired to have enjoyed the city more!

Great Day. - Alberto is a wonderful guide. A lifelong resident of Brasilia and speaking perfect English, his knowledge of the city and its history is fantastic. We learned so much and appreciate his generosity in sharing his insights. His vehicle is clean and comfortable and he was on time for pick up.

Must see spot in Brasilia. - Cathedral designed by an Atheist and sworn communist. If you are catholic / Christian (or Jewish Christian based religion) this is a must see for its religious value. If not, then must see for its architectural value ! Cannot find a reason not to visit such an amazing wonder.

Does not match what is offered - The Michael Guide was very friendly. However, The tour we bought was announced with Alberto but at the last minute I changed the guide without notifying us. The tour was not completed as several places to visit were missing, as listed in the announcement. Understand you have another tour after us. We were charged the entrance fee to the JK memorial, when it was included in the price. There were no photographs with Camara semi professional as advertised. We saw that there is no coordination between eats company and its Guides so that they understand what is Buyer, nor good communication with the customer in the stage between the booking and the tour starts.
