  I went paragliding in Rio and had the absolute pleasure of flying with Mahmoud . From start to finish, he was incredibly friendly, professional, and made the whole experience feel safe and exciting. He was super chatty and knowledgeable—not just about paragliding, but also about Rio in general. It felt like getting a mini tour while soaring over one of the most beautiful cities in the world! What really stood out was his honesty and flexibility when it came to the weather. He kept us updated, explained everything clearly, and helped us reschedule to a better day to make sure we got the best possible experience. Couldn’t recommend him more—if you’re thinking about paragliding in Rio, go with him! You won’t regret it.

  Anyone who toys with the idea of flying with paragliding often has one thing in mind: Security. When flying in tandem with Mahmoud from Tandemflyrio near São Conrado, these concerns can be safely put aside. Mahmoud is an experienced pilot who takes great care and dedication to ensure that every flight is not only a special experience, but also an absolutely safe adventure. Mahmoud took a lot of time to explain everything in detail and in a comprehensible way when he was greeted. No uncertainty is allowed, from the safety checks on the material to the procedures to question and answer rounds. Each measure is designed to increase confidence and guarantee control of the flight from start to finish. This sensitive approach is beneficial for those who dare to fly for the first time or feel unsafe. The start from Pedra Bonita in São Conrado is in the best conditions, with Mahmoud as a safe companion at the side. Throughout the flight you can feel his competence, calmness and experience that accompany the whole tandem feeling. Mahmoud routinely and safely navigates the skies, so all attention can focus on the breathtaking views and sensational sense of freedom. For those who want a permanent memento, there are video recordings of the entire flight. Thus, the experience is not only emotionally secure, but also visually documented – further proof of the professional handling. Overall, Tandemflyrio offers a well-organized, safe and exciting experience with Mahmoud. Safety always comes first, and treating each guest with respect creates an all-round good feeling. For those who don't quite dare, this tandem flight is a wonderful opportunity to venture into the skies accompanied and safe.

  Mahmoud from Tandemflyrio was excellent! He is very experienced and made my first flight fantastic. He was very friendly and explained the entire process and made the takeoff easy. He took extra time during our flight and we recorded the whole trip! I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rio!

  Coming from the Philippines with my daughter I wanted her to have a once in a lifetime experience while in Rio De Janeiro and paragliding seemed to be the best way to cap our one week trip. Initially we inquired thru an agency offering paragliding in Rio but when I asked who would be the instructor ( for me to do some background check) the travel agent said it will be known at the day of the fly, which to me sounds dubious. Thank God for leading me to sir Mahmoud who is truly one of the best, most professional, experienced and respected in his field. He was easy to communicate with and put safety as topmost priority. We were supposed to fly on a saturday but he advised to put it off til the next day as the wind is not conducive which to me was impressive that he knows when or when NOT to fly. Further, unlike other travelers who had to wait for many hours or sometimes a whole day just to get a good wind. We waited only for half an hour before Mr. Mahmoud knew it was time to go. Which was very convenient knowing that we had other things to do. The 10 minute ride extended for almost 25 minutes with no extra cost! All the photos and videos turned out to be momentos of what a truly remarkable experience while in Rio! We began at 12 and was already done by 2pm. So guys, if you are in Rio pls pls don't hesitate in booking sir Mahmoud for a once in a lifetime experience of seeing the beauty of Rio up in the sky.

  If you never had this kind of adventure before you're missing out on something great. This is a very professional company that will make you feel very comfortable and secure every step of the way. Mr. Mahomund is a very friendly and experienced guide, He assures me that all their equipment is constantly being checked and safety is their utmost concern. The jump site is well organized with safety personnel from the city fire department to oversee all the operations. It si a beautiful place with spectacular views of the city.
