Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We arranged to go paragliding with Daniel on a Saturday morning at 8am. On the day we arrived at the agreed meeting point at 7.50, but Daniel never turned up. We tried to message and call, but no response.
There were lots of other people offering paragliding there, but they didn't want to let us go with them when we'd already reserved with someone else. So it would have been better if we hadn't reserved and had just turned up on the day.
Eventually after more than an hour of waiting someone there finally agreed to take us. The paragliding was amazing, and definitely worth doing! Just don't bother booking with Daniel as he might just not show up and we never received any apology or anything.

I had an amazing flight with Daniel over the beautiful landscape of Rio. He was extremely professional, friendly and relaxed; he made me feel very safe and gave me lots of interesting information about the skies. Daniel also spoke perfect English which was helpful. The 360 shots were brilliant and I would definitely recommend getting them; they would make your videos look very professional if edited together.
Thank you again Daniel for an unforgettable experience! Tamo junto!

Daniel and Christoh were outstanding. Daniel soon put us at ease and although extremely nervous to start, the instruction and guidance made us feel confident and you knew you could put your trust in them. I can say it was one of my best life experiences and I’m so glad we did it. I’d definitely do it again. Daniel was friendly and informative right from picking us up from the beach, through the experience and at the end in explaining the recordings. He really looks after you. Ten Stars!

I would 100% recommend Rio Tandem! The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Daniel, one of our pilots, was very responsive over WhatsApp, giving us all the information we needed when booking. Once we arrived, the registration process was quick and simple with no real queues to get in the air. Daniel in particular was amazing - my husband has a fear of heights (and almost refused to do it!) but was immediately put at ease by Daniel who had a calm, fun and friendly manner. A couple of tips: (1) Book directly with the pilots via the Rio Tandem website. There were some people at the site who had booked with tour agencies or drivers but when they arrived had not been assigned pilots (this is because agencies and drivers will say yes and then figure out finding a pilot later, which cannot always be done!); and (2) Avoid going during Carnival - we went just after and there were no issues but heard that the Carnival period was so busy that it sometimes led to 2-3hr wait times for take off!

We booked paragliding flights with Riotandem and they were absolutely brilliant. Daniel and Claudio were superb. They are both very professional and we felt totally safe in their hands. The flights were incredible. Stunning views of Rio. It was really easy to transfer the footage and it’s worth the extra for the 360 degree camera footage.
Everything was brilliant and we would recommend Riotandem completely. If you are in Rio and thinking of going paragliding then think no longer. Go for it and make sure you go with Riotandem.
Thank you again Daniel and Claudio!

I highly recommend paragliding with Rio Tandem! It was my first jump and I am so happy I choose them. Instructor was very professional and checked all the ties as well as tried his best to make me feel relaxed before the jump. When it was time to jump I felt ready and the flight was amazing! Instructor kept on checking with me how I felt. Definitely going for another flight!

I did paragliding with Rio Tandem today, and Daniel was my pilot. I had an amazing experience. Daniel was very professional, he made me feel at ease, and went beyond to ensure that I will have a pleasant and memorable experience. He is an expert pilot, nice person, and trustworthy. I highly recommend flying with him. Thank you Daniel, keep up the food work.
