Steven’s rich knowledge of path and legacy of rock made it an entertaining and rich experience. This was our second time hiking with Steven, a third is sure to follow. Highly recommended for those looking for a challenge and a uplifting experience

Outstanding even in the fog

4.00This was a fantastic tour and Stephen was exceptional. While it is a challenging climb up the Rock to the top, as two people in our mid-sixties, we would highly recommend it to others… especially those interested in WWII. The only reason we did not give it 5 stars is because we had a rainy, foggy day which impeded some of our views. Even under those conditions, we would highly recommend this once in a lifetime tour.
Discovery on foot of Gibraltar Reserve

5.00Beautiful discovery of the Rock, we didn't know what to expect so we loved learning the history of Gibraltar while discovering the nature reserve with its many monkeys, the illuminated stalactite caves and the incredible tunnels used for wars. The friendly exchanges with Stephen (who took care to speak English adapted to our level) made us forget the sporting side because the elevation gain is impressive.
Amazing views

The Highlight of Our Week in Gibraltar

5.00My wife and I had an absolutely brilliant time on Stephen Hill’s Upper Rock Walking Tour — it was the highlight of our week in Gibraltar. Stephen is a fantastic guide: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the Rock’s history, wildlife, and culture. He's also great fun and very entertaining. From the start he made us feel very welcome, setting just the right pace and making the whole walk relaxed and enjoyable. His stories brought the history of Gibraltar to life, and we loved learning about everything from the wartime tunnels to the local flora and fauna — not to mention meeting the famous Barbary macaques up close! What really added to the experience was Stephen’s thoughtfulness and genuine interest in making sure we had a great stay. He gave us some excellent suggestions for things to do and places to visit for the rest of our trip, several of which turned out to be real gems. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of Gibraltar and its people thanks to him. A top-quality tour and a truly memorable afternoon — we’d recommend Walk Gibraltar to anyone visiting the Rock. Thank you, Stephen, for such a wonderful experience!
Worth visiting the Rock of Gibraltar

5.00Good communication and quick response times from the tour operator in advance. The tour gives a good overview of the history, but also current situation of Gibraltar. The nature reserve is very beautiful and diverse (history sites, plants and animals). The views are spectacular. But I admit it's a bit exhausting, steep there. But Stephen is offering less and less strenuous alternatives. He is very nice and responds to the wishes and questions of the guests. I was traveling alone with my partner and him. It is definitely worth it! Also priced a good deal.
Stunning Mediterranean Steps tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It was our second time booking this tour with Stephen. The first was with my son in Dec 2024 and this one with our friends. Both times doing the Mediterranean steps. It is spectacular, challenging and you get full reward with the stunning views. Stephen is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. The second time did not feel like a repeat. Highly recommend doing this activity with Stephen.
