A 30-minute helicopter flight over Rio, hitting Christ, Copacabana, Sugar Loaf, Ipanema, and more, with a small-group feel and real 360 views.

“We booked a private tour of 525 USD for 30 minutes flight, 2 people (it states in the add that you’ll be flying between 25-30 minutes). We were back after 17 minutes. The sun was perfect, no wind, no nothing. When I asked the pilot why he flew so short, he mentioned I should make a complaint if I am unhappy with the time he flew. I complained at the office after the flight and they said the pilot decides when to come back. Ok, but what about my money, as I received half of what I paid for…(?) Very unprofessional, to be avoided!”
