Very good experience in being able to get to know the museums, churches, congress, senate, etc. - It was very nice the tour, to get to know a bit of the capital of Brazil. Only did not have the question of the pictures, which were in the Vacation Package, but we had to take with our own phones.

Great Tour to learn about how Brasilia became the Capital - Very informative tour with a really knowledgeable guide. Took us to all the main historical venues in the City where we learnt about Joscelino Kubitschek and how Brasilia came to be the capital of Brazil. Fascinating history and some outstanding architecture. A must do tour if you are visiting Brasilia and want to learn more about the history of the country

Understand the overall plan of Brasilia - It was a great experience to be able to tour the entire city by car. We were particularly interested in architectural design, so it would have been a better experience if we had spent more time in the rooms of Niemeyer's architectural works. It would have been better if a written list of destinations could have been shared in advance or before the tour began, so that the tour could be tailored.

Most convenient way to explore the city. - I feel that this is the best way to move around the city to see all the sights as it is a city built for cars, not walking. Alberto was very knowledgeable and luckily he asked us to start the tour earlier because it really gets very hot and sunny in the afternoon. I also did not know that it became a private tour for us. He’s also thoughtful enough to provide us with bottles of drinking water. It’s a pity that the lifts to the TV tower broke down in the morning and the road leading to the presidential house was closed that day. It was out of our control. But overall, highly recommend anyone to do this tour.

Incorrect information about what is included - Guide Michael (outsourced) was good and helpful. We like him. We asked for a change in time to start at 10am, which was granted. Now, the note is due to the following: a) tour description offers airport transfer, but after booking they require that arrival be on the same day as the tour, which is impossible, as no one will arrive from the airport and go straight to a tour that starts at 9am-10am. In other words, there is no transfer. B) Additionally, the tour description features semi-professional photography. Which also didn't exist. C) Finally, the entrance to the JK Memorial was paid by us, while the tour description says that it is included. After getting in touch, at the end of the tour, they offered to pay for entry. In short, I found it expensive because, in practice, there was no transfer or semi-professional photography offered, despite the advertisement.
