Be at funicular at least 30 mins before
The Time Machine tour was fun, the actors are engaging and help bring things to life. The funicular has great views if you are at the front. But note as others have that buying through viator means you get a voucher you have to exchange at the lower funicular booth to get your actual tickets. This isn’t a “skip the line” situation. I went on a holiday Saturday so it was mobbed and you’ll wait in the ticket line and then wait for your turn up the single funicular car to the clifftop castle. The tour was at 11, I arrived at the funicular at 10:30 and just made it to the castle bridge (where the tour starts) in time. Err on the side of going up early, you can explore the castle if you have time to kill before the tour. Or you can walk up (steep but not too bad, less than 10 min walk?) if really pressed for time.
