Rock and cave tour

5.00Our tour of the Rock of Gibraltar and St. Michael’s Cave was unforgettable. From the top of the Rock, you can see the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the coastline of Spain, and even Morocco across the water on a clear day it honestly feels like standing at the edge of two continents. Inside St. Michael’s Cave, the huge limestone formations and glowing chambers were absolutely breathtaking and unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Just a word of caution - Walking inside the cave is dark in places and a little slippery

2.00The tour company did not communicate basic information about the tour such as start time. I made numerous attempts to communicate with no response. The day of the tour the guide showed up late a travelers were left wondering if the tour they paid for was a scam. The tour guide was not prepared with a list of passengers. The rock of Gibraltar is worth experiencing but with another tour company. Having used Viator many times with positive experiences was surprised they would contract with such a bad tour company.

5.00St. Michael's cave was incredibly beautiful, know that you will be walking around a damp, dark area but it was so worth if. Found some of the monkeys, listen to your guide they definitely know where to find them and the things you should do to stay safe. Our guide let us off at the old city so we could explore some and before walking back to the ship

4.00The tour guide Peter was great, however the tour seemed quite rushed and was only about 1 1/2 hours as we left about 30 min late and got back at 2:25.
Outstanding guide!

5.00The tour was longer than planned, but not in a bad way, as we got to see the tunnels in the rock of Gibraltar, which were not listed in the description. Good value for seeing the main features of the rock, though I would have liked to see more of the monkeys. Great value compared to an equivalent sure excursions.

4.00Great tour overall. Driver was 20 minutes late for our 1.5 hour tour which made it much shorter. He did not make up the time because he had another tour after ours. Driver was very informative. On a clear day you can see Africa but the clouds were very low so we didn't get to see it.

5.00The overall experience was excellent. The commentary by our driver was so informative and humorous. Gibraltar was an excellent place to go and a great tour. Started a little unorganized but once the shuttle arrived, it only got better.
