★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 131 reviews · 1 hour · from $104Our pick

Review of Niterói paragliding with Pepê, including GoPro video, Rio views, safety, price, weather tips, access, and who should book.

“I went as a group of 4 people and we glided down Parque Natural Municipal de Niterói. Overall, one of the best experiences of my life and will 100% do it again and recommend to other people. Great value for money and is cheaper than other paragliding bookings, but don’t let that deter you as the experience exceeded my expectations. Thankyou to our guide Pepe for looking after us and making it an exhilarating activity in Rio. He was very friendly and confident as he has been paragliding since 2001!”

2.Photo Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 63 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $43Top rated

Review of Ouro Preto’s private photo tour, with colonial streets, church views, digital photos, practical tips, price, and itinerary details.

“I greatly enjoyed the photoshoot. I couldn't find an English tour in Ouro Preto, so I booked this. Not only did I get nice photos, Romulo also shared snippets of Ouro Preto's history, architecture, and food--he brought me to his favorite sweet shop, and I was able to buy the best dulce de leche in town! Or probably in Brazil! I couldn't be happier.”
