I booked a 930 tour at 6 am and was quickly contacted for location pick up at my hotel. Igor was a great tour guide. He was professional and knowledgeable about the history, monuments, and life in Brasilia. You will see all of the sights, plus additional information about activities in the evening. And for the cost it is the best deal on trip advisor.A organização da cidade. O parcão oferece um lazer agradável e diverso. O aeroporto precisa melhorar na agilidade e comunicação com os viajantes. Tudo é distante e confuso, e os funcionários não tem muita paciência em informar.

Partindo de um dos shoppings mais lindos de Bsb, o Brasília Shopping é realmente uma arte da construtora PauloOctávio. E na principal e próximo acesso ao centro que já é ali depois do Setor Hoteleiro já se vê a capital representadíssima pela Esplanada Dos Ministérios, com o próximo destino Congresso Nacional na parte alta vista e sentida por quem passa por esse caminho lindo, principalmente ao entardecer. A emoção pode ser sentida mesmo no asfalto com formigamento na barriga pra quem estiver distraído(a). A praça dos três poderes, ou três "puderes" alguns turistas mineiros dizem, é ampla e recebe muitas pombinhas embelezando essa área livre. Logo mais o Santuário Dom Bosco, muito bem arquitetado e tranquilizador por ser arborizado sem excesso. Chegando assim aquela quadra de referência, a QS 308, sim a quadra modelo que é discreta atenta e com lugar para toda a família. Seguimos para o Palácio da Alvorada, que belo e verde bem espaçado ao ar livre muito acolhedor. A volta é relembrando em memória esse passeio que leva novamente ao Brasília Shopping junto ao setor hoteleiro norte.The tour guide is nice but he just learnt English 3 months. He’s like a Uber driver, couldn’t give any introduction… So sorry I do not recommend to waste this money…

Great value for money. Toured all the major sights in the area on a minibus. Apart from the history of the development of Brasilia and some interesting architecture there’s not much to see. The Don Bosco blue church was the most striking. The guide was knowledgeable, but not very engaged. We had been to the art museum the day before which is really just an exhibition space for artists.Comprei o passeio para minha mãe. Chegamos no estacionamento do Brasília Shopping e não havia ônibus. Não consigo achar a empresa para pedir o reembolso.
