A Once in a Lifetime Experience - A once in a lifetime experience, that I highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the most iconic sights of Rio from the air. Worth every penny, in my opinion, and much better value than the 7-8 minute helicopter rides offered from Sugarloaf Mountain, at 810 reals per person.

Great experience - Great experience even though the weather was cloudy and rainy was still able to see all the sites. The meeting point was quite difficult to find google map’s kept sending us in different directions so allow enough time before your flight encase you experience the same problem.

Breathe taking views of Rio. - Tour was great, before you book… PLEASE CHECK WEATHER. Visibility can change so fast and we got lucky the clouds cleared up for us during our time slot. We were delayed 30 mins due to the clouds. Other than that, so memorable to see Rio from above. The pilot doesn’t speak English very well but that wasn’t an issue since we were focused on the views. Checking in was easy and efficient.

Great Vistas -Double price for foreigners - This was a nice flight over leblon, copacabana, and leme, around Christ the Redeemer, and near sugar loaf. The hangar is easy to find and the man at the front desk is friendly. The actual flight is about 30 min and Rio is beautiful from above. A Brazilian came with us (3 ppl per ride) and paid 700 Rais (I paid a much higher price earlier online). I later discussed the helicopter trip with a Brazilian friend and he stated that he too paid the 700 reais rate. Furthermore, one of the individuals sternly yelled at my friend for taking a picture when he was told he could by a different employee. The pilot talked sparingly and only in Portugues. No photography in/around the hangar.

No! - BAD EXPERIENCE, guy that brought us to the helicopter was rude and didn’t let us take any photos outside the helicopter (which they said we could) and pulled my sisters arm to back her away from the helicopter while she was in the SAFE ZONE. They didn’t make us sign a waiver till AFTER we got off the flight meaning if anything would have happened to us they would have no documents. Everything was rushed ! The tour time is not 30 min and I’m glad because the whole ride was shaky. The pilot barely spoke to us on the journey to inform us what we were passing etc. I would not recommend booking if you’re a girl of color. Very bad service

The flight was nice but the planning… - The provider’s website offers various time slots for helicopter tours on its homepage. I booked a 3:00 PM slot, thinking it was a fixed time for my flight. Unfortunately, this turned out to be completely inaccurate, and I had to wait nearly four hours before the flight finally took place. While the flight itself and the staff were friendly and tried their best to make the experience as pleasant as possible, the poor planning caused me to lose half a day in Rio. The provider waits until there are enough passengers before the flight takes off. This means that the time slots shown on the website are essentially placeholders. The actual flight happens only when it suits the provider. If you choose this provider, you should be prepared to scrap any plans for the rest of the day and expect hours of waiting. While I understand the staff’s arguments—after all, a helicopter flight is not the same as a bus ride—the information on the website is misleading and seems designed to encourage quick bookings rather than provide realistic expectations.

Do not book with this company!! - I booked for solo, they changed my booking time twice, then, after sitting in their office for an hour and a half, they informed me that they couldn't take me up until another 4 hours. They ruined this experience that I had hoped to have and had been looking forward to this entire vacation. I wasted two Uber rides, which were not cheap, for nothing. Do no book with them.
