Gibraltar Day Trip From Costa Del Sol With Rock Tour Included

Communication was good. Our guide was informative and the guide of the rock in the minibus was excellent. The rock tour was worth doing

Great tour with Janet! She spoke fluent English, was well organized and shared great information. Gibraltar was safe, fun and entertaining! A must see for sure!!

It was so dissapointing not to reach the Monkey's feeding and their residence place. Long story short - 2 hours trip by bus, 2 hours free time before St. Michael cave, 20 min inside and return to Malaga. Luckely few monkeys was near the cave, so at least it was possible to see some.

Favourite place was cave and tour of the rock. Disappointed that we didn’t see the runway and crossing as it was in different promotions for Gibraltar that you had to physically cross the runway. A lot of time was waisted, we were told to meet in Malaga at 7am but the bus didn’t arrive until about 7.15 or later, there was one pick up in Malaga at a bus stop, which was fine but then we had several stops along the way to pick up passengers from their hotels in different towns which meant there was no time for even a toilet stop on the way Only commentary on the way was about a hotel actors stayed in and that there were a lot of golf courses and a lot of new construction

I’m giving this a five star because it really is a good experience however I must make sure I mention that the bus ride is long yet comfortable enough to endure.

We arrive 20 minutes before our meeting time (7am). Waited with many people and when buses arrived we were not on any list so they left us behind, tried to contact the tour company but was not open before 9am. Contacted Viator by chat and was told they would get back to me in maximum 72 hours!!!! Plan this activity for my family for months very disappointed and frustrating. Never will I be reserving on Viator again! Worst experience.

Yes, it was a long bus ride from the time we were picked up, then picked others up along the way to Gibraltar. We were prepared for this based on other reviews. The only difficult part for us was the lack of access to bathroom facilities during the long bus ride. Janet was our tour guide and did a great job of prepping us for the border crossing/customs into Gibraltar. We had free time in the town and were able to do shopping and have lunch on our own. We, then, met back up with Janet to be assigned to smaller vans with a different tour guide to take us up to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar -- giving us history of Gibraltar, to see St. Michael's Cave and (our favorite) to be up close with the Barbary macaques in the Nature Reserve. We then met Janet back with our big bus to reverse the process -- go back through customs, drop others off and ultimately take us back to our origination point. It was a long day, but a wonderful experience!

As others have mentioned, very long journey which may be of interest-3 hrs there and 3 hrs back. Promised 30 minutes at cave, were given 20 minutes, and 10 minutes with monkeys - saw 1 monkey eating a carrot. Town is a tourist trap. So knowing all of this before going, I still wanted to see St. Michael’s cave and loved it. All quite disorganized, so pack your patience.

We loved it when we got to Gibraltar but the bus trip was very long due to having multiple stops to pick up other passengers, we were aware of this but didn’t realise it would take quite so long . Took 4 hours to get there from the first pick up. However Janet was very informative on the way and our bus driver up the Rock was fantastic! Definitely worth doing but it does take the whole day!

it was a great trip and we got to see most of gibraltar. Finding the bus at the start of the day is not as easy as it sounds, but the trip itself was great.

Sorry to say that this trip didn’t live up to what was promised. Very short stops in the cave and with monkeys. Not enough time in town either. Advertisement said 2 hours we only had a bit more than 1 hour. So I am really disappointed. It was a nice trip from Malaga along the coast though and tour guide in Gibraltar was interesting to listen to.

Everything was good. The smallbus driver in Gibraltar - excellent! Quite a lit of time list both ways while the big bus has to pick up and let out people from all the hotels in Costa del Sol

The drive down and back was nice as we've never been in this area before. Did pick up passengers along the way, which we did read in past reviews. The caves were nice. It would have been nice to explore the rock more and maybe not so much time in the city for shopping.

The most disappointing tour ever. We were picked up in Malaga at 7am and then spent at least 2 hours picking up people from hotels along the Costa del Sol. We finally arrived in Gibralter at 10.45am. We got off the bus into a sea of humanity trying to cross the border. This took 1 hour. We missed doing the tour at 11. We then had limited time for lunch and literally raced down the main street afterwards. When we got back to the bus depot for our tour, we were again herded to the 2nd floor of the carpark into another ocean of hundreds of people. We were finally loaded on our van. This was the best part of the day and our guide was great. When we got back, it was back on the bus for another 3 hours of winding our way through the Costa del Sol before we finally arrived back at 7pm. A 12 hour day of mostly sitting on a bus. We paid for a trip from Malaga to Gibralter, not a tour through the hotel pick ups. Would not recommend

Great trip! The bus was very comfortable, the guide knowledgeable and St. Michael's Cave was very impressive. For those who like to go shopping, there are enough stores around.

Really nice 3 hr drive to Gibraltar, Annabelle gave some useful information about the areas we passed through. It was Louis our driver from Persian Rose that was the awesome star of this tour.. He made the tour fun with plenty of whitty banter interspersed with solid "need-to-know" information. Booked this tour through Viator. There was plenty of confusion to to the pick up point. I had to What'sApp several times, finally getting solid pictures of the actual bus stop. And there were several other tour pickups going on, so a person basically had to ask each tour bus that pulled up in a 45 minute window to make sure you got the right bus. Not to mention it was pouring rain.

Not enough contact with the tour operator, stated pick up was at 07:00 from no.11 bus stop Avenida de andalucia, there are 4 no.11 bus stops on each side of this road, received a message to say pickup would be 07:15, waited until 07:40 at one of the bus stops where we could see each way, no sign of the bus at all, the office is closed, and no one responding to my messages. Poor communication.

Very informative, too bad we couldn't do the 2. World War tunnel not to be visited!! The rock tour did not go all the way to the top!!

The guide and driver were great! The guide in Gibraltar pleasant and easygoing. I wished for some time in Gibraltar and some more opportunity to have breakfast. We started at 07:00 from Málaga, so we didn’t have time to eat breakfast before. We were not allowed to eat anything on the bus and when we stopped on the way for a short stop there was no time to have breakfast. The bus trip took 4 hours and as soon as we arrived we went on the guided tour of Gibraltar (which was great!) when it was finished at 2 pm was the first time we had the opportunity to eat something. It was also all we had time to do in Gibraltar before the bus went back - 4 hours without stopping or toilet on the bus. Would have liked to get a little better information that there was no opportunity to eat on the road or in the bus in advance. Would also have liked another hour in Gibraltar. Otherwise great trip!

A nice trip to Gibraltar. Although the bus ride took time, it was worth it. Very good driver and guide.

Je voulais voir Gibraltar parce que c’est un endroit stratégique dans l’histoire. Ce besoin a été comblé . Guide très facilitante. Grotte St-Michel c’est magnifique.

It all worked smoothly. An ideal excursion for a day. I don't have much to say except: That was great.
