A great visit to the last bastion of the British Empire - A brilliant day out. The guide, Antonia was very knowledgeable and helpful, as was the guide once we got to Gibraltar. You must take the optional tour of the Rock, as the town of Gibraltar doesn't take that long to explore.

A must trip to see Gibraltar from Malaga - This trip is a must if in or around Malaga Gibraltar fantastic. I had little ambition for this day trip but so glad we went. Pick up was easy to choose from around town. Our guide, Antonia was very friendly and informed about the different beach towns along the way. She was always checking to make sure everyone was ok. I see some reviews about the length of time at the different tours of Gibraltar but I thought it was perfect!

Gibraltar full day trip - The guide was brilliant, Antonia is flawless, it was our second tour with her. The transfer was fast, all pick-ups were located nearby, no time wasted. The start was around 9:30 and return 19:30. Antonia has provided many interesting facts during the ride. Very fast boarder crossing, on site there was another guide due to the local regulations. We had enough time to see key places and free time for lunch in the city. Everything was well organised and zero stress. Strongly recommend!
