“I marked this experiment for December 28 more than a month in advance in Rio de Janeiro and paid more than 1700 euros in advance. I paid the VIP experience package (more 400 euros than the normal package) to have a flight that ended at sunset and only for my family. Being 6 passengers said when we arrived at 17:30 that the 2nd helicopter (which carries 4 passengers) was not that had gone to do another service.

“The views are undoubtedly astounding. Incredible. But I do think it is over very quickly, and is quite over-priced. £15 per minute, and there are 6 people on the helicopter.

For £150!”
