It was perfectly planned from beginning to end. Excelente communication with tour coordinador & driver. Pilot was attentive, friendly. We ended up flying alone w pilot which made it more especial.

Left speechless !

Rory_W, Apr 2024

If I could give this experience 7 stars, I would ! We were a party of 12 and we were looked after brilliantly. The views of Rio with the time we had were just spectacular. Thank you so much to the team that looked after us and the go pro video was an additional bonus. Don’t hesitate, this is a must do!

It was AWESOME flight

Ernesta_M, Nov 2022

Our pilot was most amazing I have flown with. She was knowledgable and so cool. Felt in safe hands, seen beautiful Rio from above. This was one thing I truly enjoyed and would do again in few years time.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Flight great, communication bad

Christian_S, Mar 2026

Booking was very easy but despite about 20 mails nobody informed us about what time we will be picked up by the driver. The hotline speaks only Portuguese. Only our concierge at the hotel succeeded. The driver and the flight were mega-punctual. Very professional procedure.

tormenta

Antoniojesus_C, Dec 2024

Nos recogieron del hotel puntuales, pero cuando íbamos de camino al helicóptero empezó una tormenta increíble con rayos calles inundadas y arboles caidos, el transporte llamo a central y nos llevo de vuelta al hotel , este año no pudo ser pero con el excelente trato recibido seguro que repetimos en breve.

superbe vol !

FRANCK_T, Jan 2024

Un moment inoubliable avec un pilote au top ! Malgré une météo capricieuse, le pilote a fait le maximum pour nous donner satisfaction. Prise en charge et retour à l’hôtel et vol de manière individuelle : on recommande à 200%

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello! We're very happy to read your message! Thank you very much for choosing Rio Carioca Tours!

Beeindruckend - von oben sieht die Welt anders aus

Kornelia_K, Mar 2023

Beeindruckendes Erlebnis. Wir wurden am Hotel abgeholt und waren dann 4 Gäste mit Fahrer im PKW. War etwas eng mit fremden Menschen. Dafür wurden wir mit einem grandiosen Flug entschädigt. Wir sind wirklich fast 30 Minuten geflogen und waren mit der Pilotin nur zu dritt im Heli. Der Blick von oben auf Rio ist einfach übewältigend.

Maravillosa

Mara_F, Sep 2022

Un paseo MARAVILLOSO vale 100% la pena… lo recomiendo mucho, sin duda un día volveré a Río, nos recogieron muy puntuales en el hotel y tanto el chofer como el piloto del helicóptero muy amable
