Jose was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. We would highly recommend him! Brasilia is an interesting city to explore.

Excellent well organised trip. Guide informative. Visited all of the key buildings and also explained the development of the city and the basis of the planning. Well worth it.

Great tour highly reccomended!
Brasília, a marvel of architectural. The tour through its modernist wonders start at the Congresso Nacional. Wander to the Palácio da Alvorada, where sleek curves blend seamlessly with the serene shores of Lake Paranoá. The Brasília Cathedral awaits, a futuristic gem with its stained glass and hyperboloid structure evoking spiritual awe. The Square of the Three Powers beckons with the Supreme Federal Court and the Presidential Palace, epitomizing the city's grandeur. In 100 words, Brasília's architecture narrates a story of innovation, symmetry, and Brazil's unwavering spirit.

We went to Brazil for a family vacation and decided to add Brasilia to our itinerary for the amazing architecture we had seen in photos. We were only there for one full day (arrived the previous evening and left the next morning) and had a tour with Alberto. He took us to all the interesting buildings, told us about the history of the city and was overall a great guide. We were absolutely blown away by what we saw, given that the city is like no other place we had been before (and we are pretty well-travelled). We decided on booking this tour with Viator last-minute and it was the best decision ever! Thank you, Alberto! Bianca and Co.

A great tour with a lot of interesting information about all the sights, Brasilia and the architecture. We did the tour by bike, which we liked a lot.

Great tour together with Alberto. We did see almost all of Brasilia in one tour and I can recommend this tour to everyone.

This tour was a good introduction to Brasilia, both the history and the main sights. The tour is customizable, but unless you have any other preferences may include: TV Tower (amazing views!), the main football stadium, the JK memorial (with optional small museum inside), Crystal Park, Niemeyer's "acoustic conch", the main cathedral, the national congress (outside only), the "three powers" plaza, the Alvorada palace, the Kubitschek bridge, and the Sanctuary of Dom Bosco. All this took about 4 hours and nothing felt rushed. A must if you're even slightly interested in architecture!
Also, since I saw another review that complained about the guide's English, I have to say that while his English was not 100% perfect, he was perfectly understandable, so I don't know what they were complaining about!

Just an average tour of Brasilia. My husband and I both work in the design industry and were looking forward to seeing all of the Oscar Niemeyer architecture in person. Although our guide was knowledgeable, we felt he was kind of going through the motions, and didn't put any additional effort into the tour. The weather was extremely hot, and he did not provide any water to drink, or use the air conditioning in his car until almost the end of the tour. (The description for the tour stated "air conditioned car") For the price paid, we felt at least water should have been offered. I think we could have just ordered an Uber and seen the sights on our own to save some money.
