What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro Sunset Cruise or Sailing Tour

Manjula_M, Jul 2026

Excellent

The boat tour was a birthday gift for our teenage son at the end of a marvelous Rio trip. The first part went as planned. We all enjoyed the views, the atmosphere, the attention (especially by Pedro), and the promised refreshments. Then, during the second part of the tour, an unexpected, terrible storm set in. All passengers were requested to put on life vests and move downstairs for security. Everyone was scared. But the experience and professionalism of the crew and the mutual support of all co-passengers helped us through it all and will be a story to tell 'our grandkids' about...

Amazing Experience

This was an incredible experience. We were the last flight of the day, and they were patient with us because we were late due to Rio traffic. The weather was not great that day but they gave us the best experience possible under the circumstances. We flew by Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and all the beaches. There is nothing like experiencing these things from the air. The entire staff was kind and courteous from beginning to end. A top notch and well-run company. If you are thinking about doing this, book with confidence.

Awesome day!!

This tour is well worth the money it was an amazing day saw lots of things. The company bent over backwards to pick us up at our hotel which was far far away from their usual pickup place and booked us an Uber to drive us home. That was very much appreciated.

A memorable experience - a MUST DO whilst in Rio

This is a MUST-DO whilst in Rio! I must preface this by saying the pre-flight experience left much to be desired but don't let this put you off booking. We arrived on time 15 minutes prior to our 1230pm booking, as stated in the confirmation email. The receptionist seemed surprised to see us and clearly wasn’t expecting us. She couldn’t find any reference to our booking, which was frustrating as 1) we were obviously excited about this holiday highlight event and 2) we’d travelled nearly an hour from central Rio by taxi to get there. Eventually a phone call seemed to suggest they did in fact have the booking. A different woman anrrived and said that although the booking said 12.30pm, it was actually 1pm as we had to undergo a half hour of induction. Odd as induction comprised filling in a few forms and took 5 minutes. We were left with the sense that they have somehow forgotten our booking. We ended up getting taken to the helicopter about 45 minutes after our appt time. It felt a bit micky mouse-ish and we just hopped this wasn’t going to be reflected in the quality of the helicopter and pilot. Fortunately, the actual flight itself was brilliant and we had a fabulous pilot who was determined that we would be able to see Christ the Redeemer despite the cloud cover so made quite a few attempts to get us up close. On the last attempt, the clouds parted and we got great views and photos. The flight was definitely a highlight of our South America travels so go ahead and book but maybe check ahead that your booking is expected.

One of the best runners!

Unskippable experience if you're visiting Rio! The waiting experience is a bit confusuing since the runners are independent, but they take safety and the customer experience extremely seriously. Fully recording is included just make sure to move your camera around since your responsible for capturing your own footage. Both session runners were super cool and reassuring, would 1000% recommend

Rio de Janeiro: 35 Minutes Doors Off Helicopter Tour Christ

Prisco_M, Jan 2026

Absolutely unforgettable experience!

Flying over Rio de Janeiro by helicopter was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Seeing the city from above is something words can barely describe, the views of the coastline, the mountains, and the city itself were simply breathtaking. Everything felt professional and safe from start to finish. The pilot was friendly, calm, and clearly very experienced, which made the whole experience even better. Taking off and soaring above such an iconic city gave me chills, it’s a totally different perspective of Rio that you just can’t get from the ground. If you’re in Rio and considering this experience, do it without hesitation. It’s worth every second and every cent. I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Memorable Aerial Rio Birthday Present

The heli over Rio is a MUST experience. I wanted to give my friend an amazing birthday present and this hit the spot. I asked for a memorable time near sunset and they delivered just that! If you have reservations due to fear of heights, trust me you’ll feel safe! My friend and I afraid of heights and falling, and we both felt so extremely safe. We arrived super early due to unknown traffic time, but they had a well supplied, air conditioned lounge with a restroom. The snacks included for free were cookies, coffee, and water. The snacks included for purchase were champagne, juices, and a variety of other snacks. The staff was very accommodating and kept us up to date of our appointment. They were running slightly behind, to allow engineers cool down between flights (highlighting they keep safety in mind). Book the flight!!!
