Good tour of the highlights

I liked that this was a small tour with a comfortable mini bus. We loved St. Michael's cave, it was definitely the highlight. We only saw a few monkeys which was a bit disappointing. 2 people on our tour were very late coming back from the cave, so we only did a drive by of the tunnels. The bus took us to the little town for time on our own and that was very enjoyable.
BUYER BEWARE!!! They don’t show up and they don’t answer their calls! Find another tour operator!

This tour operator never showed up. A number of other people from our cruise ship were in the same situation. We received no notification that the tour was canceled. We tried calling the operator’s number – no answer. DO NOT RISK YOUR VISIT TOO GIBRALTAR With this tour operator. We ended up having to hire an independent driver outside our ship. Fortunately, we were able to see the sites. These people are unreliable and disc courteous. They could have ruined our visit here. Fortunately, we were able to salvage it. Don’t make the same mistake we did!

Good experience for short time period- but expensive for 2hrs but convenient. Location meeting point had many confused and start time was delayed. There was no one with a sign as was indicated ini instructions. Guide was knowledgeable and driver navigated some tricky roads. Cable car was cancelled for others that day due to winds so glad we had booked excursion in the end via mini-van. Would be perfect if they added WW2 tunnel tour in.
Not worth the price very rushed

Very rushed we left late waiting for the buses that were tge same bus as the cruise ship were using to shuttle people for free This meant our tour was very rushed drove by heaps of places that would have been great to stop and look at except no time which was very disappointing especially for the money Our driver was excellent he was funny but as far as the tour goes better value else where especially because we were back within 90 mins not the 2 hours as expected
