7 reviews of Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour

Everything was super! The pick-up company was great and the guide very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend it! Try to get the front seat or the one behind both on left side of helicopter as they give you the best views of the beaches!

We absolutely loved the experience! The staff were on time and very polite all the way!! A very professional service that I would definitely repeat if I were ever to come back!

The helicopter trip was amazing. I highly recommend it. We did the twelve minute trip, circling close to Christ the Redeemer was the highlight, as well as seeing the length of the beaches Copacabana and Ipanema. The only downside was the communication in Brazil. I had bought the voucher online. When I called in Brazil, as instructed, I was asked which hotel I was staying it. The fact that I was staying with a friend seemed to complicate matters beyond belief, even though I was happy to drive to the helipad. It seemed we had to be at a hotel. Finally they agreed, but when we arrived at the helipad and presented the voucher from the internet they seemed puzzled. Then asked me to pay. I had to explain it was all prepaid and point to the wording. This seemed strange given that they must deal with these type of vouchers all the time. Bureaucracy aside, the trip itself was awesome and comes highly recommended.

The actual helicopter tour was an experience, however the service given could have been much better. For starters, the person at the office informed us the day before that pick-up was at 9:30 a.m., however the driver came to pick us up at 8:30. Needless to say, we were still asleep and we had to get ready in five minutes as we were informed there and then, the helicopter tour was scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Upon arriving at the heliport, we were informed that we had to wait for forty minutes. The service definitely marred what proved to be an unforgettable experience.
