Christ The Redeemer - The best way to see Christ The redeemer! Absolutely magical experience compared to going by foot ( too many people and hard to get good pix)

Impressive helicopter tour - It's so great. It's better to see it from the air (my brother agreed) than to actually climb up the statue of Christ to see it. I enjoyed the beautiful view of Rio de Janeiro. It's even better when it's sunny. Without the door was a little thrill and fun.

You can get longer for... - You can get longer for the same price with other companies, I was 25 minutes late going up it literally flew around Christ the redeemer and back down , shop around you can get more for your money , also while we were waiting we were not updated or offered a bottle of water just sat wondering so i would not recommend unfortunately

Bad experience - Lousy experience I was going with my daughter and I was celebrating my birthday and I stated it so that they would leave me a more visible place and not in the middle since they say they are 4 people and they actually went up 5 if I knew I would not have paid it. Lousy experience on such a special day for me and they have no kindness to the client

Do not book this!! - The worse helicopter ride ever, they texted me 20 mins early as if I was late and I was 2 minutes away. They said nothing about starting early or late or anything. They decided to start 30 minutes late. During this time the front desk guy did not communicate to me and my friend nor the other person getting on the helicopter with us. No sorry, no ETA, nothing at all. Due to starting 30 minutes late clouds started to appear by Christ the redeemer so we were barely able to see it, during the scheduled start time it was clear skies! So pretty much wasted our money, ALSO no hello or anything from the pilot who was on his phone while flying at one point. Every worker had the head pieces to cover their ears including workers just walking towards the helicopter to lead us yet the customers were not given any, my ears were ringing the next 2 days. I can’t believe this was legal.

Cancelled flight and no notice given. - We booked the flight the day before, we received a confirmation that everything was in order. We show up and they cancelled our flight with no notice given. We were given an offer to pay extra to fly anyways. Very poor experience. Wasted half our day.
