      Terrible idea

      dorian_k, Aug 2026
      No communication, no details of where to park. Left 5 messages to ask ?s. Thanks for ruining a child hood memory, I fell so bad for elders that are not tech savvy and just want to take a cool experience with out having to download apps to pay. And still no one to call you back to explain a few things.

      This is a fraud tour. I was charged 92$ for 4 tickets by viator but when i went there with my family I was told it was only a 1 time use ticket, cost of which was 9$ per ticket, which is 36$ for 4 people. Please do not buy this tour. Instead buy the ticket from the cable car official website which will cost 1/3rd this price.

      I never received my tickets from Viator and when I tried reaching out I got no response. I had to purchase tickets at the cable car kiosk.

      I paid 92.00 for myself,...

      Shamille_R, Jul 2026
      I paid 92.00 for myself, two other adults and 1 child. They said it was 1 way and when you get to the line to board they charge $9.00per adult. Why did Victor charge us so much???

      They send you coupons to exchange for tickets, and you never receive the email with the information to obtain the passes.
