Purchasing the tickets through Headout was convenient and easy. Professional company with quality service. I rated the experience as good, because of the time required to board cable cars on the return to ground level. The view from the highest peak was incredible, especially at sunset and night fall. However, the most entertaining section is the midway point, with a greater variety of eateries or snack choices and a live DJ set.

Process was quick and easy. The fast pass is well worth it with the queues. The experience itself is fantastic with great views of the city and good shopping plus places to grab food & drink at the top
