We decided to do the 45...

Jeremy_G, May 2025
We decided to do the 45 min flight because I had heard the 25 min didn't give much time to see all the sights. Our pilot was excellent. Not very good English but more than enough to point out and he was also busy talking to air traffic. The weather did help us with clear blue skies but an excellent trip. We have already recommended then to some friends who are coming to Rio next week

Response from Host, Jan 2026

thank you for your review

Must do when in Rio

Patrizia_S, Mar 2024
It was an absolutely wonderfull expirience and definitely worth it! Only the pilot wasn't speaking english at all, altough you chose english guide and we were shifted to another time then booked, as they sold the same flight twice on an other platform. But still, recommending this, on scene they tried to make the best out of it.
