Gibraltar Private Trip From Marbella Or Malaga

The trip was well planned for transportation. From our hotel in Marbella. All went well executed.Our guide inside Gibraltar was pretty good. He was knowledgeable, but explained things in a very practiced manner and didn’t expound on additional knowledge that he had unless asked.

Day trip from marbella to gibraltar. Nice comfortable van ride to and from border. Spanish side leaving and coming back was a hassle. Lines with passport machines not working. Gibraltar guide met us on crossing, spacious guided taxi van to st michaels cave, various viewpoints, the monkeys and siege tunnels. These were amazing! About 1:45 minutes in town center for lunch, shopping. Probably a bit longer than needed as all shops pretty much the same, but nice area. Then return to Spain and hotel

Very fun experience, Dennis in Gibraltar was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Spanish driver was not very talkative but in Gibraltar we had a great time.

From start to finish this tour exceeded our expectations. From the taxi ride from our rental home to the border. To the instructions on how to cross the border into Gibraltar. To the exceptional tour by our expert guide Tom-the experience was well worth the money! We learned so much about the history of Gibraltar, current day life in Gibraltar and he made some excellent recommendations for the rest of our time there. Don’t hesitate to take this tour-you won’t be disappointed!

A wonderful small group tour. Very informative with a lot of time to walk around and enjoy the sites.

From beginning to end this is a well oiled tour. We were picked up on time from our hotel. Driven and dropped off at the Gibraltar boarder. Picked up by the tour guide and learned so much from our tour guide Tom - a native of Gibraltar.

It was a good experience. Loved the caves and the views from the top. The monkeys were fun to watch. I would recommend this tour if you need something to do but would not go out of the way to do it.

Excellent tour! I highly recommend, they are very professional and punctual. everything was as expected. we booked the tour on private basis, just for our family.

Visited the Rock of Gibraltar in late March with another couple. To start our driver Juan was on time, professional and friendly. He transported us to the Spanish border safely where we met our English tour guide Tom. Tom’s knowledge of the region was beyond phenomenal, we learnt so much. Even the monkeys on the Rock “knew” him 😊. We had a wonderful lunch on our own in the square and then transferred through the border back to Spain. Weather was a little cooler than expected so definitely take a light jacket with you. A great tour enjoyed by all.

Our guide Thomas was amazing. We learned so much about the history of Gibraltar and also about him and his family that have lived there for generations. I would truly recommend him.

This tour was a great way to experience Gibraltar's history, and Tom was a fantastic guide. Pick up went smoothly, and the tour started straight away as Tom capably drove us to and up the Rock. The views on the drive up between points of interest where we got out of the vehicle were themselves worth the tour. The caves we visited were beautiful or historic. Our party was mainly interested in military history, and Tom tailored our time to that interest. He added to a stop at the World War II tunnels, an exhibition that is being expanded to include more artifacts and museum pieces. Because we did so, we had less time to stroll the area around the city, but we were willing to make that trade. Be sure to hit Roy's for fish and chips before being transported to the border crossing for your return to Spain.

Tom was a great guide. We learned a lot about Gibraltar, its history and culture. The caves were fascinating and the monkeys were a treat.

We were 4 friends. We had an amazing day in Gibraltar thanks to our fantastic guide, Tom! He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience unforgettable. Tom’s deep understanding of Gibraltar’s history and culture added so much value to our visit. He took us to all the must-see spots, but also shared hidden gems that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. His enthusiasm and love for the area were infectious. If you're planning a trip to Gibraltar, we highly recommend Tom for an insightful and fun tour!

This was a very unique experience. We loved seeing the monkeys at the top and one even jumped on grandmas back. My daughter’s favorite was St Michael’s Cave, especially the light show. We had time for a quick lunch and some shopping before heading back to our hotel.

We had a great excursion to Gibraltar from Marbella. The pick-up and border crossing details were very clearing explained in a message the day before our trip which made everything very easy. Our guide, Tom, was very interesting as we visited the various sites on our tour and also in sharing about his life as a native Gibraltarian. Highlights included the beautiful views and multiple stops to observe the monkeys.

Such an amazing tour! Dylan was amazing, you get a lot of information, and drive to important spots. A must do, better to use a guide than walk around my yourself.

Our English speaking guide Tom was terrific. Very knowledgeable about Gibraltar The ride was smooth and comfortable however neither driver spoke English. For an hour and a half each way that was inexcusable. Also very confusing directions where to meet the driver waited 1/2 hour because he was late. For the cost of this trip, it was a rip off. Don’t take it

The tour was wonderful. The tour guide was awesome and we learned so much about the history and culture of Gibraltar. We really enjoyed the macaques, that were very friendly and well behaved.

This is the best trip ever ! Eduardo the driver was on time and explained the whole Costa del Sol. The treat was Gibraltar and so well explained by Tarik . We bought it on Viator and it was costly but so well worth every penny . Gibraltar is amazing and so well explained

Unfortunately none as we completely lacked the personal guide to give background information to the visited points. The driver put in a low quality tape while driving, so most of us did not understand a word. We were simply kicked out of the bus at the stops with nobody accompanied us or give us information. We booked an expensive private tour in order to get maximum input and individual answers to our questions and it was the opposite: completely useless from the information point of view. The historical part of The Great Siege Tunnels was skipped completely though it was the point we were most interested in. The cave was nice to see but with no information about it, a huge disappointment. The worst thing: There was no information and explanation that there was no guide for us. Some of us understand Spanish and heard the driver talking with another guy saying our guide left with another group before we arrived because we stuck in a traffic jam at the border and arrived later than planned. But we were not at all informed about it and did not get any update on changes of the booked program. This behaviour creates the impression of having been totally ripped off by hoping we would not understand what they were talking and therefore would not report Viator what happened. After our wedding we had invited our friends to this trip expecting a fun day with great insights into historical Gibraltar but the whole group was so disappointed and we felt so bad having booked it, not even talking about the waste of money as the private guided tour was really expensive. For everybody booking a tour we recommend to study carefully what you pay for and follow-up carefully what you really get.

Our driver in Gibraltar was excellent. He has lived here all his life and his knowledge was vast and so interesting. He allowed us to take as much time as we needed to experience the Rock.

We did a 7 hour private tour from Marbella to Gibraltar with Tours in Malaga booked through Marriott Bonvoy. The country is definitely something to see. We enjoyed St Michael’s Cave, the tunnel, apes den. We paid over $900 for the private transfers and local guide. The transportation was sub par. While the drivers were punctual, the cars were just ok. No waters offered by any of the drivers, the quality of the vehicles and drivers were not the best or most professional at all. The local guide Dennis was very nice and knowledgeable. He doesn’t get out of the taxi, just drives you from place to place and explains what to do and gives you history and facts. The car that met us at the end to take us back to the customs stop where you re enter Spain wasn’t air conditioned! It’s August and 90 degrees. The car was falling apart honestly. It was only a 10 minute ride but was not happy and very surprised. And the driver that picked us up in Marbella wasn’t prepared with our names we had to approach him and ask if he was our driver. Plus, he let the door close on my arm as we entered the van on the way back to Marbella. For the money, over $900 US dollars, very disappointed in the quality of the cars and lack of professional service. Gibraltar however was great and we enjoyed the scenery, people and history.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Gibraltar! Our driver Juan was very friendly, making our commute to Gibraltar comfortable. Our tour guide Tom was amazing! As a life long resident of Gibraltar, he shared personal historical accounts, as well as shared a tremendous amount of information regarding the area! The tours to St. Michael’s Cave and the Siege Tunnel were really interesting! Of course seeing the Macaque monkeys in their natural habitat was entertaining! Strongly recommend the experience!

We were very lucky that we had Thomas as our tour guide (on his 50th Birthday). Born and raised in Gibraltar, Thomas gave us an amazing tour of the the Rock with a big, fascinating dose of history on the side. Friendly with the apes, Thomas told us all about their history, their maintenance, and even their birth control plans! We had several close up interactions, and learned a ton about the animals, their habitat, and their husbandry. We also enjoyed a tour of the St. Michael's Cave and the Siege Tunnels. He was an amazing guide and really made the trip worthwhile. The tour will pick you up at the hotel, and then drop you off about 100m from the border crossing. You will walk across the border, and then meet your tour guide just on the other side, to whisk you off to the rock. The same happens on return. Overall, I would highly recommend the tour, and especially Thomas!

Everything about this tour was top rate. Hotel pickup was punctual and driving by Juan very comfortable and safe. The guide, Tom, was most interesting and informative. His driving around some of the narrow roads on the Rock was commendable. Highlights included visiting the incredible St Michael’s cave with its amazing light and sound show of the rock formations, entering the Great Siege tunnel system excavated as a defence against the Spaniards and French , and a visit to the upper Rock nature reserve including the Sky Walk and seeing Barbary Apes with Tom supplying much information about their welfare and breeding programs. The tour concluded at Casemates Square with time for shops and the many restaurants.

What a beautiful experience! Our drivers are always early and courteous. Our tour guide Tom a native of Gibraltar was a fabulous guide as he narrated and showed us all the glory of his hometown. The St Michael’s cave is awesome we didn’t want to exit ! - we climbed all around “the rock” , the monkeys were so adorable and fun- all over their turf just amusing everyone!!! The siege tunnel was very cool history & lunch with shops at the center of town wrapped up a really great day !! We had no idea there was so much to learn in Gibraltar - thank you Tom for being a great guide !

Everything about this tour from start to finish, including our personal drivers, Alex and David, was brilliant. Tom was our guide for the day in Gibraltor and made the experience truly incredible. As a born and bred Gibraltarian, Tom gave us a unique insight into growing up in Gibraltor and an excellent historic overview. One of the most amazing day trip experiences ever.

Perfect day visit. As everyone says, Tom is a great guide. Native, so he knows the place, the people and even the monkeys. Some have said it was too short, but I think it was the perfect length. We actually brought some box lunches (had our kid with us), so we just ate in the square when left to ourselves. Saw all the sites and still had a couple of hours to walk around and short of staying overnight, one does not need more time in Gibraltar than that. Left hotel at 8:30 (Ikos) and were back by 3:30 and in the pool shortly thereafter. But sort of agree, not cheap for the time.

It was definitely different and new experience and if you have a one day, it is a reasonable price. We saw few monkey and the caves were beautiful.

Tour great. It was described as a full day tour. It was not. We were picked up at 8:30 am and asked to meet our driver at 2;00 for our return. Not enough time to grab a bite and certainly no time to shop. For the cost we should have been given another hour and a half at least,

Our guide was glib and oh so knowledgeable. My wife talked me into going on this tour and I wasn't particularly excited. But, it was way more fun than I anticipated. Our guide has lived here all his life and provided excellent background and history on Gibraltar and his personal experiences. Enjoyed everything. I had heard the monkeys were a bit out of control, but just the opposite and our guide was able to coax one right up to the window.

We were very happy with every part of this tour. The caves with stalactiits and stalagmites was gorgeous with dramatic lighting. I am a major Beatles fan and the guide was able to help us recreate the wedding photo of John and Yoko in Gibraltar and to see where they got married, even though the location is something different now. Very knowledgeable guides and drivers. We learned so much about Gibraltar including history, monkeys and how they are cared for, military history, fortification, economy and lifestyle. The guides passion got us excited about Gibraltar. Thank you Thomas!!!!!! Much appreciated, Rande and Paul

Me, my family and friends (11 people) came to Malaga for a week. As a big group we had every day planned strictly and booked our trips almost month before coming to Spain. Just two days before trip to Gibraltar I got an email, that the Tour in Malaga could not charge money from my bank account so the trip is cancelled. And that was it, with no chance to pay again, try other bank account or other solution. Just could not charge and cancel, leaving 11 people without a trip two days before it should have happened.

Its a fascinating place with a very interesting history. I'd highly recommend a visit here - there is lots to do and see from a visit to the upper Rock and the monkeys, to a bit of shopping, a nice meal in the square or a visit to the new 'Ocean Quarter' with its port and lovely bars.

I went on this day trip with my parents who are somewhat elderly. Our pick up was from Malaga and our driver was very communicative, professional and helpful. The vehicle and drive was quite lovely. Once we got there, Tom was our tour guide, and 100% the best guide you could get. He is a local, knows exactly where to go, what to do and knows everything. He was clearly passionate and informed, we had the best day! Gibraltar was also AMAZING! 100% recommend!

My parents and I did this day trip from Malaga and we’re overwhelmed with how amazing our tour was- the sights and views and people and MONKEYS! Our guide Tom was literally the best, most friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. He knew where to take us and was very professional. Same with our driver- very kind, great vehicles and accommodation! This is a MUST do! Highlight of our trip!!!! Thank you!

Tom, our guide, was excellent. We learned a lot about the history of Gibraltar. Highly recommend this tour.

<p>This was a fun day. We had a private full day tour for 4 people. The tour guide was nice however, I felt she should have been more informative. She walked very fast and lots of times during the tour we didn't even know where she was. I felt for a private tour she was not very attentive to the four of us. We also didn't realize until we reached Gibraltor that she was not allowed to give the tour on the rock area itself. We were then turned over to another guide with a bus load of people and all of a sudden our private tour was no longer private. This should had beeb explained in the description</p>

<p>We had a wonderful time! Our tour guide, Rocio, made us feel like we were traveling with a good friend. She was very knowledgeable and gave us great information on Gibraltar and Spain. She made sure that we experienced all of the highlights of Gibraltar. She spoke English well and included everyone in entertaining, interesting and fun conversations. She also gave us good advise on other places to visit in the area. This tour is well worth the price. My whole family highly recommends this tour!</p>

Great day trip to Gibraltar, were picked up from the hotel in Marbella and returned, everything worked out tip top. Tour guide was very nice, experienced and also efficient. All professionally managed, I highly recommend the tour.
