Choose another tour. We were forced to pay for 3 people even though we paid as a couple. We were given the option to wait for a third person (with no guarantee one would show up). Clearly as tourists we couldn’t wait for a 3rd person and paid for an extra ride. I am a laid back professional and have never written a bad review but this was about as fraudulent as it comes. Please choose another tour company. Note Viator never provided a reason as to why there was a minimum charge for 3 and told me that it was for safety reasons even though the couples present all flew with only two people and paid this extra charge.

I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Rio de Janeiro. This was not my first helicopter tour but because there is so much to see here it was the best. The flight is between 30 or 40 minutes with stunning views so make sure your phone is fully charged. If the weather is clear this is a must do.

This trip was amazing! The view from the helicopter of monte Christo as well as the city was more than we could have imagined! Didn’t have to fight any crowds and we were treated like royalty the whole time! I highly recommend!!!

<p>The magnificence of Rio is well worth seeing from the air and we were looking forward to the flight but this was a disappointment from the beginning to end. We would certainly recommend using another helicopter provider because the choppers used by the flying company do not have intercom facilities or headphones so that the pilot cannot communicate with the passengers. This meant that we had to rely on our eyes and because there is so much to see, I missed half the flight around Christ, the Redeemer. Moreover, the flight was scheduled for 11 minutes but we landed after 8 minutes and 30 seconds my wife filmed the entire flight on her iPhone, missing almost a quarter of the scheduled flight. This can be considered to be almost a rip-off by the chopper company. We complained to the person who picked us up at the hotel but he shrugged his shoulders and suggested that we should complain to Viator. We insisted that he should complain to the helicopter company before leaving the airstrip because by the time Viator made a decision we would be back in the UK and it was highly unlikely that they would compensate us by flying us back to Rio for another 11 minute fight. As we informed the person who took us to the airstrip, we did not have a chance of a second bite of the cherry so whatever compensation we receive was of little comfort for not doing a proper helicopter flight around Rio. The guy did not complain to the helicopter company and instead just kept walking towards the massive coach that brought us to the airstrip in order to take us back to our hotel. This flight was going to be one of the highlights of our trip around Brazil but instead it turned out to be our biggest disappointment.</p>
