The staff who welcomed us were very attentive. Riding the cable car is quite an experience. The view of the city is an unforgettable sight. Up there, there are plenty of amenities for tourists (restrooms, restaurants, souvenir shops). A suggestion: have a map where you can identify the city’s landmarks: beaches, avenues, neighborhoods, points of interest, etc.

Our first ever cable car ride - thrilling. Breathtaking views, mesmerizing sunset, and not too crowded on a Monday late afternoon made it a highlight of our Rio visit. I hope my wish at the tree of dreams comes through 🙏. Buying the Priority Pass upgrade online made it all easy.

Views were even more amazing than expected especially as the sun went down. We were there Easter Saturday so very crowded but the fast pass got us through very quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful.

View was so beautiful, too bad we booked a 5pm time slot hoping to go to sugarloaf mountain, but it was too many people waiting for cable car, can't make it to catch sunset.
