Absolutely fantastic experience! Must be done if at all possible while in Rio. The pilot pointed out all the different sites to us and we were able to put our legs out at certain points. On the ground the staff are amazing. I had contact with Rebeca constantly and she was so helpful and everyone who looked after us before and after the flight was great. Wagner was really great with us after the flight! So friendly and helpful.

We booked the open-door helicopter experience with Rio2Fly and it was absolutely out of this world from start to finish. We were a little behind schedule on the day, but it didn’t matter at all as the waiting area was a relaxed little bar and garden space that made it easy to unwind before the flight. Everything felt calm, well organised and welcoming. Once in the air, it was simply breathtaking. Flying over Christ the Redeemer with the doors open is something that’s hard to put into words — it’s just one of those experiences you’ll never forget. The guide in the air was amazing too, constantly pointing things out and making the whole experience even more special. We’d originally booked for a Tuesday, but the team contacted us the day before to say the weather looked better that afternoon and offered us the chance to switch. We did and it was completely worth it. Honestly, just an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! 😊🚁 We're especially happy to hear that our team was able to help by moving your flight to a better weather window. Moments like these make all the difference, and we're glad it paid off with an incredible experience for you. It’s also wonderful to know that you enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of our base before the flight and that the doors-off experience over Christ the Redeemer lived up to your expectations. Those views really are unforgettable! ✨ Thank you for trusting Rio2Fly, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you're in Rio. 💙🌴🚁
I enjoyed it so much! It was the first time I bought a tour without doors. It was breathtaking! The flight itself and the view, of course! I would do that again with no doubt.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🚁✨ We’re absolutely thrilled to know how much you enjoyed your experience with us! Knowing that this was your first doors-off helicopter flight and that it was such a breathtaking and unforgettable experience makes us incredibly happy 🤩💙 There’s truly something magical about seeing Rio from the sky with that incredible open-air feeling — it’s an experience like no other 🌅🚁✨ Thank you for trusting us with this special adventure, and it means so much to hear that you would do it all over again without hesitation 🙏😊 We would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable flight over Rio someday! 🇧🇷🚁💫
This was the best experience of my life! I've been wanting to do this helicopter tour for as long as I can remember, and I finally crossed it off my bucket list. To say it was worth it, would not be enough. This tour, flight, service, employees, amenities, process, everything was beyond perfect. Not only did the actual flight completely exceed my expectations from how truly magical it was, but the pilot was so professional, made us feel safe, gave us amazing views (even turning the helicopter around at the major points so we could see from both sides) and overall such a smooth ride. From the moment I booked through whatsapp, the response was quick, friendly and helpful. The tour options and pricing were explained clearly, with route maps and instructions for payment and day of logistics and was so easy to get to in uber with the location they provide. But then once we arrived on site, we had 10/10 experience, especially with Gabriel. He helped get us checked in, suited up, briefed with safety instructions and answered all questions we had, not only professionally but with a great attitude and smile on his face. This establishment is well run, accommodating, professional, clean and has beautiful views. Aside from that, they have a bar and snacks to order while you wait, safety procedures are clear and quick, they provide high-quality cellphone holder for you to take footage on your ride as well as lockers for anything you can't bring with you. Hands down the BEST tour experience and company I've ever booked with. I would recommend this to anyone and will definitely be going back.
Wow… thank you so much for such an incredible review! 🥹🚁✨ Reading your words truly means the world to us. Knowing that this was the best experience of your life and that we could be part of such a special bucket-list moment is something incredibly meaningful for our entire team ❤️ We are absolutely thrilled that the flight exceeded your expectations and that you felt safe, comfortable, and amazed throughout the entire experience. Our pilots always do their very best to create the most magical views possible while maintaining the highest safety standards, so your kind words mean so much 🚁🌅✨ A very special thank you as well for mentioning Gabriel — we’ll be sure to share your beautiful feedback with him! 🙌 His professionalism, kindness, and positive energy truly represent the experience we strive to deliver every single day 😊 Thank you as well for highlighting our communication, facilities, organization, safety procedures, and all the little details we carefully prepare to make the experience seamless and unforgettable. It was truly an honor to welcome you, and we cannot thank you enough for your trust, your recommendation, and your incredibly kind words 🙏✨ We’ll be waiting with great excitement to welcome you back for another unforgettable flight over Rio! 🇧🇷🚁💙
BAD experience with 2Fly. We didn't get to see Christ for more than 2 seconds literally! Specifically we asked about the day and time of best weather and also that we were only interested in seeing Christ. And the company didn’t warn us about the weather forecast, when there are a lot of helicopters coming and going, there were a lot of clouds around Christ. Other people who took the helicopter if they were warned of the likelihood of bad weather.
Lamentamos mucho que su experiencia no haya sido como esperaba con nosotros 😔🚁 Entendemos perfectamente lo importante que es poder ver el Cristo Redentor, y sentimos sinceramente que la visibilidad no haya sido la ideal durante su vuelo. Desafortunadamente, las nubes alrededor del Cristo pueden aparecer muy rápidamente, incluso de un vuelo a otro, y es algo que muchas veces está fuera de nuestro control. En ese mismo día, la mayoría de los pasajeros estaban logrando ver el Cristo con buena visibilidad, por lo que las condiciones cambiaron de manera inesperada en su momento específico 🌥️. Siempre hacemos todo lo posible para monitorear el clima y ofrecer la mejor experiencia posible, pero en algunos casos la naturaleza puede cambiar muy rápidamente. Agradecemos mucho su comentario, ya que nos ayuda a seguir mejorando nuestro servicio y comunicación. Esperamos sinceramente tener la oportunidad de recibirle nuevamente en el futuro y ofrecerle una experiencia aún mejor 🙏🚁.
Experience was once in a lifetime and worth every penny. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Would recommend to anyone and would love to go again someday!
