Amazing experience and the best seat to view Cristo Redentor - This is my first time to fly on a helicopter and it was super amazing! I’m very glad that I did this experience in Rio because you can really appreciate the beauty and fusion of the city and nature from above. Rio2Fly was super helpful when I messaged them about this experience. They are very responsive and friendly in Whatsapp and gave me a lot of options based on what I want. I’m seeing some helicopter tours in GetYourGuide which is ridiculously expensive for a solo traveler, but Rio2Fly offers a good deal whether you are solo or a group who wants to do a private tour. Overall, I highly recommend this experience if you are visiting Rio!

Stunning - It was a unique experience. We took off at 16:30 (perfect time for the beautiful warm light) and flew over the beautiful city. The open doors are also definitely recommended for photography lovers.

Doors open! - An insane experience and a great first look at Rio on my first day arriving to the city. The company use WhatsApp to check you are on your way and they make you feel very welcome once you arrive. The doors open was a MUST!
