Itinerary
Enjoy spectacular views of North Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar, including Ceuta and the Rif Mountains in Morocco, and the Gulf of Gibraltar and the Spanish towns along its coast. Five important buildings can be seen on this scenic photo stop: the Harding Battery, the Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque, the Europa Point Lighthouse, the Nun's Fountain and the University of Gibraltar. Europa Point is also home to the Europa Sports Park, which hosted the opening ceremony of the 2019 Island Games, and since 2013, Europa Point has also been home to the Sikorski Memorial.
Rock located at the south of the Iberian Peninsula, where we will enjoy the unique views of the Strait of Gibraltar
We will visit St Michael's Cave, an incredible natural cave in the middle of Gibraltar with geological formations such as stalactites and stalagmites.
Get to know the history of their presence on the rock, their current maintenance and all the legends surrounding these unusual animals. A visit to Gibraltar would certainly not be complete without seeing Gibraltar's monkeys up close. It is a life experience that you should definitely feel.

Traveler reviews
Very long drive, guide provided no value, horribly organized, not worth it.
Long drive to Gibraltar from Seville. Handed off upon arrival to another tour company and their system was brusque and disorganized. The guide was awful. Did not even mention the pillars of Hercules, just said it was a scenic stop. No mention of the history and significance of WW2 sites (partner mentioned, he was disappointed). Rushed through the cave with no guidance. Taken to see the monkeys and then confusion as to where they were going to drop us off. Overall it was a giant waste of time. Either find a different company or go on your own. So bad we are thinking of skipping our next scheduled/already purchased tour with them. We weren’t the only ones confused by the way. Others we spoke to felt the same way. Oh and the “guide” asking for tips at the end was the icing on the cake.
The tour that almost wasn't.
We were told at 1:20 that our 230 tour had been canceled, and changed to 12:30. Someone scrambled to get 6 of us a car and driver, Ryan Kennedy. He drove us to the cites, paid our fees, which had already been collected by Viator, because they said our tickets were not valid. It was a very concerning problem. However, Ryan was an amazing guide. We are not sure if he was even connected to Viator. The rock, the caves, and the apes were worth seeing.
Great tour of the Rock
Tour was right on time. Not clearly marked as to the pick up point but in the elevator the 2nd floor button was marked as bus tours so that is where we went. Mini bus was comfortable. The driver gave history of Gibraltar and explained what we were seeing. The only drawback was that he didn’t use a microphone so only those in the first two rows could hear him. Gibraltar is quite impressive and well worth the visit. Cable car is being dismantled and a new larger one will be installed.
Fine if you only have a short time
On the whole this was a good tour. It wasn't as easy to find the meeting point as I had expected after taking the public bus from the border, but we managed to find it after some helpful directions at the main bus stop. The driver was very good and the Russian guide (speaking in accented English) was informative and tried to bring in some humour. The time we had at the stops was adequate although I was disappointed that the tour didn't include a stop at the tunnels which I had thought was included when I booked the tour.
Worst tour ever!!!!
We are frequent travelers and this was the worst, most disappointing tour we've experienced! The tour was 20 minutes late starting so the guide rushed us through the various scheduled stops to make up time. Then dropped all of us at the Spain-Gilbralter border instead of returning us to the starting point!!! We then had to walj6 4km back to the bus terminal (original starting point). This was totally unacceptable!!!!
