First time flyer / Tourist - We were chauffeured from Botafogo to the airport. Greg, the driver, was hilarious. The flight was something we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Roberto, the pilot, was very professional, spoke great English, and knew plenty of facts about the history of the city. No better way to see the city.

Great experience with minor drawbacks - The transfer took a long time (1.5 hours) and the driver was 15 minutes late. As a result, the sun had already set and the light was not so nice. Nobody can do anything about the clouds, but the pilot was very nice and did his best. I would have been happy to have been picked up on time so that we could have had a little more daylight. However, the flight in the dark over RIO was also something special for us. All in all, I can highly recommend it. Unfortunately, the flight itself only lasted 40 minutes, so 5 minutes were missing. For that price, I would have liked the time to be fully filled! I would still do it again!
