Interesting and informative day. Small group coach driver inside Gibraltar was top class and very committed to make our visit successful.

Don't take this tour if you're staying in Torremolinos. The bus trip is way too long. We took the full day trip because we though we would had more time to enjoy Gibraltar. But it's more bus traveling than anything else. We were in Torremolinos and on the 12h duration of the tour, we past 6h30 in the bus, because we are stpping at almost every hotel on the Costal del Sol to grab people. The trip on the top of the Gibraltar Rock was way too short. I would recommand going by yourself if possible, you'll have time to visit more than with this tour.

The shuttle was right on time and everything went very smoothly. Gibraltar is a unique place to visit!

Great! My husband and I went to the wrong hotel for the pick-up, totally Our falt, and they still found us! We went all the way into town too! Annabell was our guide on the Big bus. She spoke several languages, was informative and personable. Once @ our location we split up based on native languages. Bart, our driver/guide was informative, engaging and amusing. The sights were beautiful, monkeys adorable and history interesting. We didn't see the tunnels but St. Michael's cave was beautiful. lots of shopping and dining options walking the streets in Gibralter.

The bus ride home and the van ride up the rock were horrible. The actual visit was fine, a bit touristy but enjoyable and glad I went. It was a warm day and the van driver kept turning off the AC because it is hard on the engine making all passengers very hot! We were told after we got back to meet our bus that it would be ANOTHER 50 minutes to wait! It was a different bus. No idea what happened to the original bus. In fact we were told that if we were hot we could come back early to an air conditioned bus to be told that the bus wasn't there.

I was initially reluctant to book this tour, as Viator uses a local tour company and it received negative reviews on TripAdvisor. But I was pleasantly surprised. This day excursion was excellent. We were picked up and dropped off at our beach hotel in Torremolinos which was also a pleasant surprise as the local tour website says the pick-up/drop-off point is another hotel in Torremolinos. Our tour guide Pedro was informative and very engaging all day long. He spoke several languages, including English, and always explained things well. The trip was well worthwhile and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the Costa del Sol and looking for an interesting and fun day excursion. Kudos to Viator and the local tour company for making this experience a very pleasant one.

Trip was good, but we also booked the mini bus trip to see the monkeys and Michael's Cave. We never did get to stop and see/photo the monkeys. Don't know why!! Well worth the money if we had seen the monkeys!!

WOW! That's one amazing trip. The guide in Gibraltar was so funny, we truly enjoyed every second of this trip

The Coach was on time, clean and tidy. The guide, Pedro, was just brilliant and made the trip even more enjoyable. The tour to the caves and the rock were very well organised and there was still plenty of time to go shopping and have a bite to eat before heading home. I would definitely recommend this site for quality excursions at a fair price.

The only problem we had was a long wait in the sun for a bus to take us up the Rock in Gibraltar. Otherwise we had a very pleasant trip and would use the service again!!!

My husband and I had a wonderful time. The bus driver who took us up the rock was amazing. Not only was he funny and quirky but knowledgeable and an excellent driver. Annabelle was our bus tour guide and helped us find places to eat and things to do during our free time. She was excellent!

It was a nice day. Pedro, the Spanish guide, was the man of the day. He was very enthusiast and gave us many useful information in several languages. We had to wait some time to cross the border to Gibraltar. A smaller one, took us to the rock of Gibraltar where we saw stunning views. St. Michael's Cave is really nice. We saw also Barbary macaque which is the star of the rock. I recommend this tour.

Things started badly when we got to Gibraltar and had to sit on the bus for over an hour. Guide nearly left 19 passengers behind when leaving because of confusing directions. The rest of the trip was okay.

We were certainly satisfied that we made the right choce to take a 'tour' to Gibraltar' despite many reports that it was 'easy' to hop a bus from Marbella and walk across to the 'one street' of Gibraltar. It is bigger and more complicated than that. That said, being picked up on a street in the middle of town, uncertain if we were in the right place, paticularly after a 20 min delay, was not 'easy' either and had we left for two minutes we'd have missed our connection as the bus stopped only long enough to board us. Gibraltar has 'its own cloud', so if we'd planned the day aroud the cable car, we would have been disappointed. Being left in the bus depot parking lot is not a great way to be introduced to Gibraltar and the 'guide' info was minimal on the bus trip. That said, the tour up the 'rock' was fun and definitely not something one would want to arrange after arriving for a day trip._br/_
So Viator again offered a tour worth taking

We had a huge group with a FULL busload. We ended up having to sit in the very back of the bus and there was no air conditioning that I could tell. The actual tour of the Rock was very enjoyable the smaller bus driver was super nice and full of wonderful info about the whole area. There was time before and after the tour to look thru town. Returning to Spain we had to leave the bus, walk through the border crossing and wait about 30-40 minutes in the sun waiting for our bus to come through. Totally unnecessary!! Won't ever do this again.

The tour of the 'Rock' and the tunnels was fantastic - so much history and what an amazing place Gibraltor is. Glad to leave the negotiating of the narrow roads to the well qualified bus drivers (Hedley very fun and informative). Tour a little confusing but Paco remained calm thru out.

Trip itself was okay but pick up was late and we had to pay for an international call to check where the coach was which turned up about half an hour late. Also, the pick timings are not right - we weren't picked up until nearly 9.30am and didn't get into Gibraltar until after 11.00am. We were also not told that on Saturday's most shops closed at 1pm until we were on the bus and so we had very little shopping time. It needs to be explained if taking the Saturday trip you won't be able to do much shopping.

Great trip, we did the Rock Tour and I would recommend this. Only downside was we left at 3pm and we would have liked to stay longer.
