Unbelievable experience - This was my first time in a helicopter, and I can honestly say that the transition from start to beginning was smooth. It was an unbelievable experience to be able to see the city from up above was unreal. The company was very professional. The pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the photographer was excellent. I have nothing bad to say other than I do recommend this.

Excelent - “Absolutely breathtaking experience! The helicopter tour over Rio de Janeiro gave us the most stunning views of the Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Copacabana Beach. The pilot was professional, and we felt safe the entire time. Seeing the city from above was unforgettable—definitely a must-do when in Rio! Worth every penny.”

Scammers return the silver - They're scammers. I demand an answer. I booked a 20-minute tour through the RTE Travel agency with advisor Nicolas Simioni for 2,100 reais. During the tour, an employee in an agency uniform offered us a 360 video recording service, for which I paid an additional 380 reais. So far, I have not received the video or any response. It is unacceptable for tourists to be ripped off in this way. I have proof of payment that I paid directly to the agency. I demand a solution. Otherwise, I will proceed to denounce this situation by all possible means.

Not good for Solo Travelers - I booked the excursion. There was no time slot sent to me, only the hours of operation which is 9am - 6pm. When I got there at 1pm and I was told I had to wait for a group that was coming at 3. I went to the mall came back. When the group came we waited for a hour before they decided they didn’t want to pay, . Since it was just me I could no longer do the ride. I wasted my whole day there. If you are booking for one please make sure that there is a group you can join.

Scroll pass this option; bad service - The experience I encountered was profoundly disappointing. To begin with, the lack of communication was unacceptable. Given the remote location, any form of communication would have been immensely appreciated. Even after I sought assistance from Viator, I received no response. They informed me that a refund would only be possible if the company itself canceled the service. On the morning of the scheduled flight, I still had not received any confirmation regarding the time or any communication from the company. Viator later conveyed that they had contacted the company and were told that the starting time would depend on my arrival, with operating hours from Monday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I was instructed to present my voucher upon arrival at the meeting point. Considering my drive took 1.5 hours, I arrived at 11:00 AM. Upon checking in, a tall gentleman with glasses informed me that my scheduled time was at 5:00 PM. My frustration was palpable, and I expressed my dissatisfaction regarding the lack of communication from his team and the effort I had made to reach the location. After making several calls to other companies and adjusting reservations, I was eventually added to a private couple reservations at 2pm. While the flight itself was satisfactory, the cloud cover significantly limited visibility of the landmarks. The duration of the flight was precisely 20 minutes and 22 seconds, and the pilot did not speak any English. Based on the lack of professionalism and communication, I cannot recommend this company; it is unacceptable to spend a considerable amount of money only to be disregarded and treated as if one’s financial investment is inconsequential.
