Traveler reviews
Great trip
The day was well organised. We chose the rock tour on top of the trip. We had just over an hour to explore the town ( wasn’t worth looking at to be honest) then onto a minibus for the rock tour. Driver was knowledgeable, funny and gave us lots of information. Cave tour was great and the monkeys were cute and funny. Long day but enjoyable and well worth the money.
Long bus ride 6h...
Long bus ride 6h round trip plus 1:30 mini bus / 7:30h bus on 11h excursion Not a real French guide a very interesting audiogram but bus does not stop for photo Boarded the bus no hello no explanation until 40 minutes after boarding all the people ( wondered if we were on the right bus ) The coach Annabelle translated the info into 3 languages and French info was much less than English and Spanish Annabelle didn’t ask each person at boarding if they had their passport (there is a girl who didn’t have it she couldn’t cross it she came all the way for nothing ) And Annabelle in the evening on the way back asked people to take their seats exactly where they were sitting in the morning (why?? We did not pay for the seat when the bus is emptied have maybe normally take the seat we want I understand during the activity when we get on and off and leave our things inside the bus but if the bus is emptied and it comes back to pick us up we have the right to sit or we want Annabelle treated us like school children
A good guide would have made all the difference
Bus drivers, excellent. Guide: were disappointed, spoke little French, little info along the way.
Not worth the length of the journey for us.
We were picked up in Malaga city centre. I knew it was a long way but I think the journey was faaaar too long in comparison to what your get at the destination. The guide was fine, not informative, just got people on and off the bus. We had about 50 in our group. We had almost two hours to shop although we didn't bother buying anything - there's nothing particularly interesting about the place itself, it looks like any European street. We got on smaller buses divided by language. We had a different guide for this who was more informative. We had a few minutes at Europa Point and then went up to the cave which was free. The cave was much smaller than I'd imagined, it looks nice but takes about 5 minutes to take it in. We then went outside to see the monkeys - this was nice. We took pics of the monkeys for about 10 minutes and then we left. How long the jounrey is is not the tour provider's fault but I honestly wouldn't recommend it as the journey from the pick up points is far too long for not much reward, there's nothing particularly interesting about the place.
It was a very...
It was a very informative tour. I would have liked the opportunity to see things more…our driver ( of the “van” not the large bus!)was driving so fast there was no time to take photos! The free time:shopping time was good but a little long…would have liked more time on the tour instead!
