Flight great, communication bad
Booking was very easy but despite about 20 mails nobody informed us about what time we will be picked up by the driver. The hotline speaks only Portuguese. Only our concierge at the hotel succeeded. The driver and the flight were mega-punctual. Very professional procedure.

Poor Xmas Lunch Service
We have been coming to the Borrowdale Hotel for 30 years unfortunately the Xmas Lunch was very disappointing and the service was slow and poor. They even got the bill wrong, we were charged for some one elses drinks.

Excellent
My daughter and I spent 5 days in Rio de Janeiro, which we loved Our travel Agent had organised a helicopter ride via Rio Caroca Tour Ltd. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel on Copacabana beach. The helicopter base was a long way, but we didn’t mind (approx. 1hr and 30 minutes return). Unfortunately, that day was a little cloudy but managed to have a great view of the beaches, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Load Mountain. It was awesome we both loved this helicopter ride and wish it was longer. Would highly recommend Only issue I would have is that we were told the ride would be approx. 30/35minutes ours was 20 minutes exactly. Not sure why but great anyway

If the elevator had been working, my experience would have been a lot more pleasant!
Overpriced for what you get! For elderly people with walking problems this is a no no since you need to walk up stairs to get from the street entrance to the elevator, which takes you, (if and when it works) to the reception on the second floor. The carpeted floor in the reception and dining areas are stained and could need a thorough cleaning. My room was okay, except there were no towel holders in the bathroom or soap dish in the shower stall. For hot water you need to let the water run for at least 10-15 minutes. Daytime receptionist not particularly caring. The only redeeming factor is the hotel’s central location.

Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service take?
+
Plan for about 0.4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 0.4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 0.4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Helicopter Ride for 25 to 30min with Transfer service start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
