5.00Our tour guide was David. He was very thorough and knowledgeable about Gibraltar. He moved at a pace that was good for everyone. He knew a lot about the history and the Barbary Apes. Very enjoyable. The pick up from the cruise ship needs to be better. The actual pick up location was not made clear or well organized once you arrived.

1.00Unfortunately we couldn't get off that day my wife got sick and we couldn't get off the boat. We had many expectations of this tour but they are things that happen and cannot be controlled. Not attributable to Service. Thank you.

3.00After getting to the assigned meeting spot and waiting while everyone gathered, we were instructed to relocate to a different location. Then we were told to move again. Once the shuttle arrived 30min late, and they tried checking everyone off the list and organizing us into 2 different groups we boarded the shuttle's, only to wait some more. Once on the way up the "Rock" we enjoyed Brian our driver, he was informative and funny at the same time. We only had 20min to walk through the cave and not stop to wait on a show the had every 7min. We did get to see monkeys that were out by the road. Then we thought there would be a stop for shopping, but surprisingly not in town, but only the duty free shops, probably supported by the cruise lines. Then 20min walk back to the ship...We enjoyed what we were dealt with.
What stopped me from...

4.00What stopped me from giving it a five star was the attitude and the rudeness of the women who met us at the bus stop. Asked question and got a bluntl .sarcastic answer. The guide and driver were excellent, I learnt a lot from our guide who was very knowledgeable
Would recommend if on a day trip from a cruise ship

5.00Our guide was informative, funny and laid out the ground rules so that the tour met expectations. Would recommend. After tour gave recommendations on how to spend out time prior to leaving the port and how to get back to the ship with clear directions.
