This was definitely the best experience we had in Rio. The ride was smooth (I was nervous because I don’t like heights but it wasn’t scary at all!) and the views are just out of this world. And everyone at Rio2Fly is friendly and helpful from the moment you book. Really amazing company and experience!

Amazing Experience

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026
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.

Über den Wolken

Barbara_V, Jan 2025
Wir sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend empfangen worden. Obwohl wir viel zu früh da waren konnten wir sofort fliegen wir sind darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden da wir durch da etwas bewölkt Wetter einiges nicht sehen könnte. Wir hätten auch kostenlos stornieren können. Wir sind geflogen es war ein tolles Erlebnis.
