The Private Helicopter Flight in Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular and memorable experiences you will have from your visit to Rio and in your life. The opportunity to see the city from the sky is something unique and unforgettable. The helicopter rises and the symphony begins under your eyes. The incredible balance between nature and the city will take your breath away! The Tijuca Forest extends into the heart of the city, covering the mountains with a fresh and vivid green color. Beaches, islands, emblematic buildings, Guanabara Bay, Sugar Loaf Mountain, the legendary Maracanã Stadium, all of that and much more can be seen from the helicopter. The social contrast is also really interesting to see from the sky. The favorite moment for most of our guests is when you can look into the eyes of the statue, Christ the Redeemer! We have no words to explain this experience. Undoubtedly, a private helicopter flight is the best way to see and understand the city of Rio de Janeiro!

I've had the great fortune to visit the sights of Rio de Janeiro with Rio Alternative Tours in the past many times, on my trip to Rio this time I wanted to venture further afield and Vicente & Lully both agreed Petropolis would be a good place for me to go. This is where the famous Bohemia lager is produced so the day was based around my wanting to visit this brewery. As always, Vicente arrived on-time and his car was immaculate, we left in air-conditioned tranquility on the 2.5 hour journey to Petropolis which is through some wonderful scenic roads. One of the great things about the tour is that they have thought of everything, even the place we stopped on the way for some food was fantastic. We stopped a few times on the way for some photos too, will add them to the review. Upon arriving into Petropolis we stopped at the very impressive Quitandinha Palace and admired the grounds, lake and architecture. From there we went for lunch and a few beers by a wonderful mansion house, Vicente pointed out the many errors in the design. Because of COVID the museums were closed but thankfully Bohemia was open. GREAT facility with an interesting walking tour of both the history of beer in South America as well as the more recent brewing techniques. You are given a small glass on arrival and you are permitted to have many samples....I had many samples! At the end there is an inevitable gift shop but the merchandise is very good, so bought a few souvenirs then had dinner at the brewery restaurant, it was very tasty. Back to Rio de Janeiro the same day and I have to say whilst it was quite a long day, it went by really quickly with lots of interesting facts from Vicente as well as some beautiful sights along the drive. I *could* easily have hired a car and driven there myself, but the insight and ability to drink copious amounts of beer made the tour fantastic value for money. I would definitely recommend visiting Petropolis for the scenery and fascinating history of the town.

You should know that the airport is far away If you stay in rio from 1h30 to 2 h And if you expect a romantic fly be sure your are alone in the helicopter or you will live the terrible experience of a Instagram girl taking photo of a sell seating in the front all the time during the trip

We traveled to Brazil on a Wim during these unfortunate times and everything was planned last minute. Our hotel set this tour up for us and we just expected to go see Christ and sugar loaf. However, due to the ongoing situation and the weather it ended up being only us two on this tour. I have been on many tours around the world, never a private tour though. This was beyond expectation. I was planning on renting a car and driving around, but no need as we got all of that out of the way with our tour guides. Wanderlei was absolutely amazing and should I say had much knowledge about the history of Rio which was very interesting. Driving around yourself you wouldn’t know half the things you passed by, but Wanderlei made sure to point out everything! Wanderlei aka Luis, spoke English very well and was an amazing photographer. He was so kind to take soooo many pictures everywhere we stopped. I’m not sure they could have sent us a better tour guide! Also, Marco the driver was absolutely amazing! Just so accommodating! Never made us wait, ALWAYS opened the doors for us, carried an umbrella when it rained, and lastly was very kind and always ensuring we were enjoying our time. I could go on and on but I think I have made my point. If you could, get a private tour, you won’t regret it! By far the best tour experience I have had. After all, it’s not always about the places you go see, it’s also about the company your with that makes it much more enjoyable. B&L
