Amazing flight. Super organized and exclusive lounge to wait your flight . Also very appreciated the WhatsApp comunication Super recommended
Wowww amazing review, we appreciate too much your trust on us and your words, thanks a lot!!!
Really sensational experience, the pilot was very quiet and was showing us and explaining the sights where we passed. Do not fail to hire the 360 degree photo Service, it is well worth it.
É muito bom ver que nossos serviços atenderam as suas expectativas e que foram momentos muito bons. Espero que saiba que estaremos aqui sempre pra uma nova aventura.
My experience with 4FlyRJ has been absolutely horrible and I would not recommend this company. Their practices are dishonest. They are overbooking and are not able to provide their service to all their clients. First of all, the place is very far from the city centre and it can take an hour to 2 hours in case of traffic. I have booked in advance a flight in helicopter for a friend and myself at 6pm to be able to admire the sunset. We arrived, despite the traffic, 30 min before the time of our flight. As soon as we arrived, the employee made us finalised the payment. When it started getting dark outside and we had 20 min delay, I have asked the status of our flight and was left with absolutely no information. A dozen of people were also waiting for their flights, the tension was building up, but the employee was hiding from us and did not communicate anything about the delay. At some point, she reappeared and told us we arrived late, which was a complete lie. She was making up excuses. We ended up doing a tour in the complete dark and saw nothing of the landscapes. Completely underwhelmed and disappointed, I have negociated for another tour a week later (in the daylight this time). The week after, we booked a much earlier time in the afternoon in order not to live the same disaster. We did once again the 2 hours of road to get there. We arrived ahead of time and.. same thing. A lot of people were waiting for their delayed flights. Once again, absolutely no communication from the rude employees. We ended up having a 2 hours delay. And once again, we did a tour in the complete dark with absolutely no apologies. If you are looking for a nice experience during your time in Rio, AVOID this company.
This was a wonderful experience and worth the price! Scheduling was easy and plenty of time slots to choose from. The staff was professional, friendly, and on schedule.
We had a great experience with 4fly. From the beginning they contacted us by what’s app to fix the time of the flight. (Only in the morning). The crew is helpful and speak engligh. The pilot was friendly and took pictural with us. The flight was smooth. We had a clarifier sky and the view was absolutely AMAZING. The flight last 25 min. Just a great time. We recommend this experience flying over RIO.
Great way to see Rio. Felt well safe. No fuss experience. Would recommend to anyone with a sense of adventure. Christ the Redeemer spectacular
We did this helicopter ride hiring the activity from the hotel, the Guide met us and moved us to Barra da Tijuca which is a newer area in Rio with condominiums, shopping centers and very modern and luxury restaurants, they call it the Miami of Rio. We made about an hour and a half trip by cart because there is traffic by the hour that was type three in the afternoon but always on the highway with great things to see, We arrived at the Olympic golf course that is located inside the municipal natural park da marapendi (nice) in a golf cart we transported by the lake to the helicopter and well there began this nice experience. The Christ the Redeemer is shocking and the whole sight extraordinary. You have to live it is really wonderful.
It was an amazing experience!! This was our first helicopter flight in Rio de janeiro but planning to take it again, thank you
