5.00Great communication from the start. Must do when in Rio. The sights, and experience will last with you forever. The staff here is fantastic and speak very good English. We took an Uber from Copacabana which took about 50 minutes so plan accordingly when getting to there. Once there we were able to go early and it was fantastic. We saw everything and the ride was super smooth and the pilot was excellent. Once back the staff helped with the Uber and we got back easily. Highly recommend! 5* 10/10
amazing!

4.00Bitter sweet experience with this tour company. They seemed to careless about customer's experience. I was traveling with my friend to Rio and we absolutely wanted to do this tour, we booked and paid in advance but we didn't know our tour was not guaranteed anyways because we bought the shared tour what means if they don't find a solo travelers at the same day and time of your tour you would have to pay the difference and make it private or else your tour will be re schedule or cancelled. It was very frustrating to deal with this matter while in vacation, Viator should also tell you this when booking it. Really didn't like that and how they dealt with customers via WhatsApp. However, this tour is a must TO DO while in Brazil, honestly one of the best things I have ever done in my life. the helicopter ride was about 35 mins, and the views of the beaches and the Corcovado/ Christ de Redeemer was stunning. I can't get over this experience. Despite the awful experience with the tour operator previous to my tour, I managed to enjoy that moment. Also, I really liked the 360 video they upsell you, but they should have told us that it was gonna be a YouTube video only, and it was gonna take 5 business day to send the link. Definitely communication is not their strength.
AVOID - last minute cancellations and changes

1.00Tour operator changed time 1 hour before check in time while I was already on my way. Asked for 50% refund to cover wasted taxi cost and they declined because “it wasn’t their fault that the other passengers cancelled” - so it’s my fault!? Sickening customer service. Avoid.
Copters, Christ & Copacabana!

5.00If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a glamorous James Bond villain surveying your empire…or just an average tourist with a serious taste for adrenaline, then this helicopter ride over Rio de Janeiro is the way to go. From the moment we lifted off, I knew this wasn’t your average Uber ride. Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, looking serene and unbothered while I was holding on for dear life (kidding! It felt super safe) Jesus had the best view in town, and for 30 glorious minutes, so did I. We zipped past Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar, for my Portuguese purists) like a giant bread roll of geological wonder. I half expected it to start spinning like a rotisserie. (Rio heat does things to your imagination.) The beaches. Oh, the beaches. Copacabana sparkled. Ipanema? Just as sexy as the song, even from above. I swear I spotted the “Girl” herself, sipping coconut water and ignoring the tourists. Leblon waved from the west, all elegant and bougie, while Barra da Tijuca stretched out so far I thought we’d flown into another state. Honorable mentions: the lush sweep of Tijuca Forest, the sprawling favelas that climb the hills, and the dramatic cliffs of Pedra da Gávea, which looks like a sleeping giant who couldn’t be bothered to move for a few centuries. Was it breathtaking? Absolutely. Final verdict: 10/10 would risk motion sickness again. If Rio is the Marvel Universe of natural beauty, then this ride was my IMAX.
