Worth a look, doesn’t cost a fortune.

Yeah it was ok to fill in a few hours and the ride up was good and views spectacular…but once at the top it seemed a bit run down and a lot of the stalls and eateries were closed ( at least the day we went up they were ). Still not expensive if you get a Grab taxi, so worth a look. Get the tickets on the app and get express.

Skip the line/express tickets are absolutely the best! It was super to get to the from of the queue and be first on the fenicular. Great seats and a super experience. It took a few minutes for the cashier to process the voucher then it was up up and away!!
Good experience

Good experience. We fairly went in the morning and I initially thought the Express Lane was a waste since there was zero line. However, on our way down, the Express Lane definitely paid off since there was a long backlog of people headed down.

Express ticket was worth getting as attraction very busy on a Sunday. Booking with Viator very easy and was also able to get concessionry ticket via their booking system.
