The view and the staff were amazing!! I would definitely recommend everyone do it when they are in Rio.
Great tour to take amazing views from above must do while in Rio de Janeiro u will c all the major points
The flight itself was nice and well worth the quite expensive price even just for 30 mins. The service though sadly left a lot to be desired for such a private booking. We were asked to come an hour earlier which luckily was fine for us but when we arrived we had been given the wrong directions and no one spoke English. Of course it’s our own fault we don’t speak Portuguese, but for these kind tourist trips globally it’s very strange that there are no English speakers. We eventually found the right hangar but were then left to sit in the heat for an hour and 15 mins with no explanation. When we contacted the travel agency they essentially told us that this kind of chaos is very common and offered barely even an apology. I would definitely try a different provider if you are looking to treat your family to a private flight.
Viator did not notify the helicopter operator of our booking. They did fit us in but in an old Robinson 44. Small noisy and uncomfortable with seat belts that were broken. We asked for Spanish speaking pilot...our pilot did not say a word the whole trip. Our friends used a different company and got a big new helicopter with drinks, audio descriptions of all the sights etc. Very disappointing tour.
An awesome thing to do while in Rio. The private group means you don’t get your view obscured by another party and you can choose where you sit. The pilot takes you past the coastline along to Sugar Loaf and then circles Christ the Redeemer one direction then again in another. The only thing we did t get was a commentary of the beaches and favelas that we flew over.
The whole experience was amazing. Rio Adventures staff was very communicative and accommodating to our last minute request. The ride was beautiful, we had 3 circles around Jesus and the pilot told us history of the geography along the way. It was the highlight of our trip! Thank you!
They changed the meeting point a couple hours before the tour, which was bo problem because it was a little bit closer, but they sent us to the wrong hangar and the directions were vague. It would be helpful if you provide a map, which requested but didn't get an answer. scheduled the activity at a specific time to catch the sunset, but we departed 35 minutes after even though I arrived in time. Flight and the crew was very nice.
This was our first time visiting Rio de Janeiro and we knew in order to really see the city, it had to be from the sky and it was the highlight of our trip. Absolutely loved it and totally recommend doing this especially if it's your first time as well. The price may seem too much but compared to other companies who only offer 7-8, this was a bargain.
This was my wife and mine first time visiting to Rio de Janeiro, we initially didn't plan on doing a helicopter tour but after this we are so glad, it is as the best part of the trip. Everyone from the staff were absolutely amazing and friendly, from booking to greeting us and of course during the Flight. The price may seem a bit expensive but compared to what others are charging for a 7-8 min flight, this was a bargain for30 mins flight that will be the highlight of anyone's trip. Don't think twice, just book it!
It was an amazing flight! Very good value for money compared to other helicopter flights offered there
Very professional staff, Great communication as well, As soon as I booked the tour I was contacted by Andre which I believe he is the manager there, He confirmed the reservation with me as well as provided me with the address and other info. Once arrived The lady at the front desk "Bell" was very welcoming and friendly. Then on to our tour, I have done many helicopter tours in many parts of the world but I can honesty say this was one of the best experiences. The Helicopter was clean and well maintained, The pilot was very friendly and a great guide to the city and the sights. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone that's looking to view rio from above. Thank you, until next time I'm in Rio.
Breathtaking views across Rio! Definitely worth it! Amazing service, the team is extremely accommodating and professional.
The tour was definitely one of the highlights of our holidays. The service and staff were very helpful too. I'd do it again!
No se puede tolerar que lleguemos y nos digan que no tenemos reserva, según me comentaron la empresa que da el servicio nadie le notifico nada así que después de llamadas se convierto en overboooking. La empresa que da el servicio quiso arreglarlo haciendo el viaje por la noche pero nosotros queríamos por el día. BAJO MI PUNTO DE VISTA NO VOLVERÉ A UTILIZAR A VIATOR EN NINGUNO DE TANTOS VIAJES QUE HAGO AL AÑO.
der Ausblick auf die Stadt, der quasi private kleine Heli für 2 Personen, gebuchte 30 Minuten eingehalten
Rio is Beautiful. Its beaches like LEBLON, IPANEMA AND COPACABA ARE BEAUTIFUL... the bars are great set with all the joy that the people who live there experience. Puerto Maravilla and Lagoa are highly recommended and if you go to Cristo try to go during the week, very early, because it gets very crowded with people.
une balade au dessus de RIo est une expérience à ne pas rater. Je recommande vivement. C'est la troisième fois que nous faisons ce tour en hélico et cela reste un perpétuel émerveillement
30 minutes flying over Leblon, Ipanema, Copacabana, Botafogo. Around Christ the Redeemer, Pão de Açucar, forest of Tijuca and Barra. A fantastic experience!!
