Itinerary
We will start the transfer at your accommodation in Malaga or Marbella. The drive will take 2 hours from Malaga and 1:30m from Marbella
One of the attractions of this tour is The Pillars of Hercules. At the Pillars you will enjoy the views of North Africa Morocco. You will see where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, this being the only entrance to the Mediterranean. You will be above Europe Point, the end point of Europe.
The next site is St Michael’s Cave. Which sees thousands of visitors a year wandering through its huge caverns with just a few steps and easy access. This amazing, natural phenomenon created by rainwater slowly seeping through the limestone rock, turning into a weak carbonic acid which gradually dissolved the rock millions of years ago.
Next, we will go to the top of the Rock, and there we will do 2 things: The glass viewing platform called The Skywalk, and visit the monkeys. The Skywalk is a former military lookout transformed into a state-of-the-art glass platform and walkway giving spectacular views across the Mediterranean. An unbroken 360º panoramic viewpoint. Enter the 360º environment and get a feel for the freedom and exhilaration you will experience at The Skywalk.
From the top of the rock, we will drive to the north side of the Rock to visit the Great Siege Tunnels, something not to be missed. This site explains a lot of the history of Gibraltar under siege. The tunnels were carved out of the rock by hand during the Great Siege which took place between 1779-1783. This was done in order to defend Gibraltar against the Spanish and French forces who were trying to recapture Gibraltar from the British.
We will end the tour in Gibraltar main street, where you will have time for lunch and shopping
We will head back to Malaga or Marbella to your hotel or apartment

We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to Gibraltar from Málaga and would highly recommend this experience! Peter, our guide, was incredibly professional from the very beginning. He picked us up directly from our hotel, which made everything very convenient, and the journey from Málaga to Gibraltar was smooth, quick and comfortable. The vehicle was excellent as well. Peter was not only a great guide, but also a genuinely warm and friendly person, which made the whole experience even better. Once in Gibraltar, we met our second local guide, who was absolutely fantastic – very knowledgeable, energetic and full of humor. We explored the Rock by car, visited all the main highlights and, of course, saw plenty of monkeys up close. It was such a memorable experience for both me and my girlfriend. What made the trip even more special were a few experiences that you probably wouldn't get on a standard tour. Thanks to our guide's local connections, we were able to visit an ornithological station and even see baby birds up close. It was completely unexpected and a really unique addition to the day. We explored the entire Rock. Unfortunately, there was quite a lot of fog that day, so some of the famous views were limited – but obviously that's just the weather and had nothing to do with the tour itself. We still had an amazing time. After the guided part, we had more than two hours of free time to explore Gibraltar on our own, have something to eat and enjoy the town before heading back. The return journey to Málaga was just as easy and comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Málaga. Beautiful memories for me and my loved one. Great organization, fantastic guides and some truly unique moments. Absolutely worth it!
Thomas was a great guide! The van was comfortable and the trip was smooth. Transition at Gibraltar was easy. Highly recommend!
Amazing Private Tour to Gibraltar – Highly Recommended! We were a group of 9 people and organized a private day trip from Mijas to Gibraltar with Costa. We visited on one of the busiest days, with several cruise ships in the area, but everything was handled perfectly and professionally. From the very beginning, Costa impressed us with their professionalism, excellent communication, and attention to detail. They organized the pickup directly from our hotel and arranged an amazing private 8-hour day trip, including transportation and a fantastic local tour guide. Everything was perfectly organized, from the hotel pickup to the tour itself. Despite how busy the area was, the day ran smoothly, and we never felt rushed or stressed. Our local guide was excellent and made the experience even more enjoyable with great knowledge and interesting information about Gibraltar. For a group of 9 people, having a private tour made a huge difference, and Costa did an outstanding job organizing everything for us. We highly recommend Costa for anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and well-organized tour. One word: TOP!
Thomas exceeded our expectations. The trip was so much fun and educational. The caves were incredible to explore. The monkeys were so entertaining.
We had an exceptional day. Pickup was easy and on time. Our guide was very informative, and enthusiastic. We had fun. By the end of the tour we had made a friend.
We had an amazing time in Gibraltar! Thomas was an incredible tour guide who picked us up promptly, shared plenty of insights about the area and got us everywhere we needed to go very safely. We also connected with Karim while in Gibraltar to go around the island and felt very well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend this tour!
Excellent and well organized tour. Local guide, Thomas, and Gibraltar guide were knowledgeable and fun, and made it a great day. All aspects of tour were memorable but loved the St. Michael's Cave and got lots of monkey photos. Enjoyed visiting main street of Gibraltar and lunch and visiting extra site on way back to Marbella which we hadn't had time to visit.
Excellent, comprehensive tour. Very Knowledgeable about all aspects of Gibraltar. Driver a life long resident (former police officer) and nicely supplemented tour guide with a local resident's perspective. Very open to varying itinerary to hit the 12 "must see" sites of gibraltar. Comfortable car/SUV transport from Malaga and in Gibraltar. Expensive but WORTH IT!!!
It was an awesome experience & would highly recommend! Our tour guide Peter was amazing & made it a great experience for us all!
Great one-day trip to Gibraltar! Well organized, friendly guide, and all the highlights included – highly recommend!
We had a fantastic experience with Thomas and Peter from Costa Excursions on our tour to Gibraltar. From the moment they picked us up at our hotel in Torremolinos, everything was smooth and professional. Both were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable and stress-free. Thomas went above and beyond—when we were short on time, he did everything he could to get us to the port of Tarifa to catch our ferry. Although we just missed it, he kindly stayed with us and even gave us a mini-tour of Tarifa, turning a setback into a memorable part of our journey. If you're planning to explore Andalusia and southern Spain, I highly recommend Costa Excursions. Their service, hospitality, and dedication to customer satisfaction are outstanding.
I enjoyed this whole experience. The cave was beautiful, very scenic views and it was fun to see the monkeys. Overall, a great day! Very informative guide and we learned a lot about Gibraltar! Would highly recommend.
This tour was very personalized and informative. We had some logistical challenges that were handled very well. Our guides were kind, open and helpful.
Wonderful day trip to Gibraltar. Our guide Thomas was very helpful with our family especially during busy week in Malaga! Entire tour was exactly as described and smooth with all of the stops to visit the Rock and other sites. Our guide In Gibraltar (Dale) was excellent navigating the sites. We had plenty of time to explore the main area in town. Excellent way to visit Gibraltar with a personalized family feel and comfortable transportation!
Without a doubt, the highlight of our trip! Peter and his team were awesome. Our day was thoughtfully planned and perfectly balanced. Peter picked us up promptly at our agreed upon time and we traveled comfortably to Gibraltar. Our guide in Gibraltar provided the perfect amount of information in digestible bits, with plenty of humor thrown in to keep us on our toes. This trip had something for all of us- my kids loved the monkeys, my husband and I - the history. I cannot recommend Peter and his team more. Book w them- You will not be disappointed!
Two-hour trip to get there. Our excellent guide/driver took us there in a brand-new Mercedes. Beautiful experience with lots of walks and hikes with breathtaking views! Plan on very good shoes!
