What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Ahmad_N, Sep 2026

Highlight of our Rio trip – First-timers in great hands!

If you’re nervous about flying for the first time, book with Ricardo. None of us had ever done hang gliding or paragliding before, but Ricardo made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable. He is professional, deeply knowledgeable about the winds and flight conditions, and speaks excellent English, which made communication effortless. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the level of service and the breathtaking views. Every single person in our group had a ball. 10/10!

Absolutely an exceptional...

Absolutely an exceptional experience from start to finish! The Iguazú Falls tour covering both the Brazilian and Argentine sides was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were simply breathtaking. Seeing the falls from both sides gave us completely different perspectives, and each was spectacular in its own way. The power and beauty of the waterfalls were something we will never forget. A special mention must go to our guide, **Henrique**, who was absolutely excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire day. He made sure everything went smoothly, guided us through the different areas, and shared interesting information along the way. His attention to detail and warm personality really made the experience even more special. The organisation was also excellent, and we never felt lost or rushed despite visiting two countries in one day. If you are planning to visit Iguazú Falls, I would highly recommend doing both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. And if you are lucky enough to have Henrique as your guide, you are in for an especially memorable experience! An unforgettable day and truly one of the best experiences of our trip. Thank you, Henrique, for making it so special!

Wonderful experience

We asked for a morning trip and they kindly fit our schedule. The team were super friendly and reassuring. We felt very safe throughout and the equiment was in good condition. The flight itself was beautiful. The experience lasts about 90 minutes to two hours from meeting point to exit, at the same place. I fully recommend.

The whole experience was...

The whole experience was fun and easy to navigate. I just showed up at the meetup location, which is the local hang gliding club. I was quickly directed to meet up with my lead pilot who walked me through the whole process. Then we went up the mountain, got set up, waited our turn, and jumped. It was a great experience, though a bit tense if you're not a fan of heights. Highly recommended.

Awesome Way to See Rio’s Highlights in One Day

I booked this tour not knowing that some people were only doing the morning and some only doing the afternoon. It turned out that we were the only ones doing the fully day (and thus were on our own at lunch). We were only in Rio for one day, and this turned out to be a fantastic way to see the highlights in one jam-packed day! My husband and I were lucky to be the last ones into the van, which meant we got to sit up front with the driver. We had amazing views as we were driving! We started out at Christ the Redeemer before heading to Sugarloaf. After that, we dropped off anyone who was only doing the morning. For lunch, we went to an all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse. I’m vegetarian so it was a little lost on me, but the salad bar was still quite good and my husband enjoyed all the meat! In the afternoon, we headed downtown to Cinelandia Square, the Selaron Steps, Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, and the Mosteiro de São Bento. We also drove past the Sambadrome and Lapa Arches. I really enjoyed seeing this side of Rio, which I think a lot of tourists don’t see in comparison to what we’d seen in the morning. Our guide Monica was great. She was energetic, informative, and played photographer all day for all the groups of people on our tour. Our driver was also safe.

Great introduction the Santa Teresa and Rio

Great tour for an introduction to Santa Teresa. The tour guides are super knowledgeable and informative. Moreover, tour guides who have an alacrity for capturing these moments on camera and working angles will always get a 10/10 from me! Well worth the money

Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and Selarón Steps 6-Hour Tour

Hit all the Highlights

A great tour of the highlights! I originally planned to do the full day tour with lunch and decided to change to a half day tour. I'm so glad I confirmed this half-day option. This tour included the usual highlights: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain via cable cars, and Selaron Steps. I wish we had about 10 more minutes at the steps but it was due to a group of selfish tourists ahead of me in line for the section of the steps with the name who decided to do a full photoshoot of about 5 poses per person with different combinations of the 6 people in their group and ignored the pleas of others in the line. It didn't seem like the other tourists in my group wanted the extra time for shopping provided during the Sugarloaf Mountain part of the tour. Perhaps, the guides can ask for general preferences at the beginning of the tour and modify times accordingly. Lucia(Lucy) was a wonderfully kind and patient tour guide and the driver, Marco Antonio, was great, as well. Lucy provided extensive historical information and graciously answered questions from the group all while alternating effortlessly from English to Spanish to Portuguese while maintaining a smile. Book this tour! See the highlights and still have your afternoon free to explore. Tips: 1. Prepare accordingly if you have motion sickness as ascending and descending the mountains can be rough and winding, 2. Get in line for the steps first if you want the part with the name. Then, take pictures in other sections if you have time, 3. See if the location of your country or state's tile is listed online so you know where it is and can take a picture quickly and not waste time looking for it, 4. Don't worry about all the people in your pictures as you can easily remove them with AI like I did😉

Amazing Hang Gliding Experience!

This was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience! My friend and I absolutely loved it. My friend was a little nervous at first, but our pilot made everything feel safe, fun, and surprisingly easy. He spoke excellent English, which I really appreciated because it helped me understand everything clearly during something so new and exciting. The views were so amazing, the takeoff and landing were smooth, and the whole experience felt way less scary than we had expected. I’m so glad we did this — highly recommend!

Great Tour!

The hubby and I booked this tour the day before(11/11/25), kind off the last minute as our scheduled tour was rescheduled. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable Mercedes van. The guide, Publiano, was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and ensured that everyone was having a great time. I was extremely impressed that Mr. Publiano was able to converse with all of us who spoke various languages: Spanish, English and Portuguese. Everyone was well informed and was treated equally! Mr. Publiano took great photos for everyone at all the locations. My husband and I had a great time and I would recommend!
