Cadiz
Private tour of the Rock of Gibraltar with private English-speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / Standing over the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the Rock of Gibraltar has been renowned for centuries, for its beauty and natural wonders. Probably the most famous of all are the Barbary Apes, which are the only free-roaming primates anywhere in Europe, its impressive scenery and views to die for and its military strategic location that has been the cause of many struggles throughout the centuries. With a mix of British, Spanish, Italians and Jews, along with many more nationalities, the population of Gibraltar has grown into a very cosmopolitan place to live, thanks to the new financial district and online gaming industry, created on reclaimed land from the sea. The historic center of the old town, with its elegant colonial architecture, and the picturesque fishing village of Catalan Bay

We had a wonderful trip to the Rock of Gibraltar. The pick up and return were flawless. Mustafa, our guide was fun and knowledgeable. He seemed to know all the apes and they sat on our hands/shoulders. The history of the rock is awesome. Carlos our driver was knowledgeable and safe as well. It was one of the best days of the whole trip! Thank you to Mustafa and Carlos !!

From the beginning to the end of our trip the communication was timely and thorough. Our driver, Alex, was friendly and got us to and from Gibraltar safely. He communicated with us what to expect at the border and where to find him at the end of our Gibraltar experience. Our Gibraltar guide, Mustafa, was superb. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly, gave great instructions, and is a monkey whisperer! A child car seat was provided for us both in Spain and in Gibraltar. Some great memories were made with the family on this trip. Thank you!

Highly Recommend. We were on a cruise and I booked this tour. The company was so professional I asked a million questions and they answered them all. I am also traveling with 4 small children. They were so kind and made sure that the kids were safe. The tour itself was amazing. Great pace. Amazing views and the to see the monkey’s was so special.

Exploring Gibraltar has been a goal for some time and our cruise ship docked in Cadiz so we decided to make the 1 1/2 hour trip to go there. Our driver Carlos was waiting for us when the trip docked and we traveled in a very nice car with him and showered him with questions along the way. He is an expert driver and answered our questions about the area well since he is a life long resident. At Gibraltar one must exit the EU and enter British territory. Carlos had an ID that allowed him to escort us through to meet our Gibraltar guide Mustaffa. Mustaffa is a gifted guide and makes sure your trip is enjoyable. Somehow the parked cars and people always seemed to part when we needed to move from spot to spot. He explained the historical aspects and allowed us time to move, read the various placards, and take photos. We never felt rushed. Being so experienced he knows all the workers along the way and seems to have a relationship with the band of apes at the top. He brings along snacks for them and as clients we were able to interact, and feed them. If you are comfortable with it, they will even perch on your shoulders for a photo. At the end of the tour he recommended a fish and chips shop where we had a beer with the food (what else in a British town?). While were touring and dining, Carlos waited patiently on the other side. We walked back across the active runway but had to stop at the barrier for a British Airways jet to land and taxi by giving us one of the unique experiences of Gibraltar. We went through the customs line where Carlos met us for the comfortable ride back to the ship. We had changes to the start time caused by the cruise operator and our contact Mark always answered right away and kept out guides informed. The communication was great from him and we highly recommend the tour.
