“Brasilia is a unique, beautiful, and fascinating place. The architecture is like nothing else. Riding around the Federal district via bicycle is clearly the best way to see it. I've done many city tours by bicycle and my guide on this one was tops. He was friendly, very personable and engaging, and his knowledge of the unique history of Brasilia and the specific function and importance of the many landmark buildings and open space constructions was vast. A most satisfying tour!”

“I booked through Viator and VIP service club for USD$60. My colleagues got a recommendation through hotel concierge for USD$30. We were on the same tour. I was told on Viator to meet bus at another hotel. They came 25 min late and we walked together back to my hotel, where bus was parked. Turns out they picked up people at six hotels so ended up with fairly full bus of strangers. The bus was warm. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable re his script and naming other buildings but didn't always understand questions asked in English. Visited major sites in Brasilia. It was definitely good value for USD$30 but…”

“This company scammed us. They initially told us we were getting an 8-hour tour for $365 for the two of us. That’s a lot of money, but we figured for an 8-hour tour, we would go ahead and spend the money since we had a 12-hour layover and wanted to take advantage of our time in Brazilia. When the ticket was sent to me via email, I noticed it indicated it was a 2-hour tour! I contacted them again and they reversed engineered the scenario, giving reason after reason why we didn’t get the initially-agreed upon tour, making it “our fault”, such as “since you weren’t available at 9:00 am,…”
