It's a good experience.

It was a great flight. They circled over Corcovado and the beach many times and it was a professional maneuver. It was a bit disappointing that the helicopter split into two because we were a family of four. It was about an hour away from the center of Rio, so be careful.

Magical experience

The best decision i have ever made when it comes to booking activities. You get a full view of Rio’s famous beaches, favelas and of course fly by cristo. It is very important to pay attention to the weather, choose a sunny day!!!

They will take your money. Confirm your booking. And then cancel it. TripAdvisor not being accessible to support!!!

They will take your money then cancel your booking. Trip Advisor not supporting their clients with refunds. I paid twice got the tickets and was cancelled twice! No help from Trip Advisor.
