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.
