Worth it

Definitely worth having skip the queue as it’s super busy, you don’t need to print your ticket just have it on your phone go to priority lane and the scan the bar code at the kiosk.

Operator response

Hi! We appreciate your feedback! It's great to know that the priority entry and digital ticketing made your visit easier. We look forward to seeing you again! 😊 Hugs, Karine.

Well worth it

You’ll have to change your viator confirmation email/ticket into a voucher at the main ticket area of the cable car. It is chaotic and did take about 30 minutes to do…HOWEVER it is well worth it when you see how long the ques are to get onto the cable car for the peoepl who do not have skip the line. Thoroughly reccomend paying the extra, saving your feet and time by purchasing skip the line tickets.

Perfect. Definitely worth paying for skip the line - especially for return trip! Saved us loads of valuable holiday time to enjoy other things. Views from both platforms stunning.

Our Lord Christ the redeemer

The crowds get big fast. Get there early as possible or late in the evening. It was awe inspiring, and the fee to experience this was so small in comparison to the experience. Well worth it.

An amazing experience !

Great sights and fast pass allows you to by pass the line. You must print out the voucher and bring it to the front desk. The front desk will provide you with an orange band then you’ll proceed upstairs where they provide you water and it bypasses all the crowds. Note: the culture respects the elderly and aging community. With that being said the elderly and disabled are always given priority. Overall a great experience highly recommend.
