Unforgettable Open-Door Helicopter Experience Over Rio - 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.

Incredible! - 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.

BEST experience of my life with the best company! - 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.

TERRIBLE with 2Fly - 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.
