The Rock. British overseas territory located on a small peninsula on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, bordering only Spain. It is historically recognized as the southernmost point of Europe and is also strategically located at the western end of the Mediterranean, forming one of the ancient columns of Hercules. The rock is mainly Jurassic limestone about 200 million years old. Once our coach reaches the Rock, we shall visit the Apes den, the Saint Michael Caves and some time at leisure for tax free shopping in Main Street or search for some hidden gems such as the Gibraltar Museum or the narrow streets and old buildings of the old town.

Excellent trip to Gibraltar - An excellent trip from Malaga to Gibraltar. Very well organised and very interesting trip. Excellent guides. Gibraltar is a unique place. VERY IMPORTANT: make sure you follow the company’s guidelines as to the documents necessary to get in Gibraltar from Spain. It is an international border between the EU and a non-EU country.

Fantastic tour from Malaga to Gibraltar with visitinganddo.com - Beautiful trip from Malaga to the Rock of Gibraltar with the Spanish guide Juanjo. We left from the center of Malaga by bus towards Gibraltar with a 20 minute stop which allowed us to have something at the bar and use the toilets on the motorway. The visit to the nature reserve was very welcome and meeting the macaques up close was a great experience. Don't miss the excursion to the cave, very suggestive! Very pleasant tour even during the return bus journey. The guide Juanjo was a very prepared and attentive guide and explained everything to us in Spanish and English and also told us a few sentences in Italian. He was also fun, present but not intrusive. the times for the visits were sufficient to allow us to visit the most beautiful places and eat in the center with free time available! Punctual organization and very precise driver Dario.

Great day traveling to & from & around Gibraltor - The bus driver & guide were both excellent. Guide spoke 5 languages & was very knowledgeable about crossing the border both ways. Great sense of humor. What I asked prior was how long was bus trip- it totals 3 hours with 6 stops along the way just so everyone knows- arrival in Gibraltor about 10:30-(leave 7:15) leave from Gibraltor 3:15- arrive back in Malaga at 6:10. This information on website would be helpful. Bus comfortable but maybe not for people over 6 ft tall. Bus driver up the rock in Gibraltor knowledgeable & fun. Caves, monkeys, botanical gardens & views even on a foggy morning worth the 6 hours of travel time. Hope my review helps the tour operator or others about posting valuable information for tourists.

Great experience - The trip was great, our guide Monica was amazing! And the driver very pleasant and smiley. At the rock of Gibraltar it seemed a little bit rushed-I would have loved to spend more time around monkeys instead of the shopping street, but owerall I recommend the trip.

Non EU citizens may experience disruption on this tour - Non EU travellers will experience delays entering Gibraltar. This is due to rigorous checks by Spanish border control. In our case the guide was unable to wait for us and we missed the booked Rock tour. We went to main square and booked our own Rock tour from the Taxi rank. The company kindly refunded the cost of the tour so our day wasn't spoilt. If booking with this company use the coach only option and then book your tour once you are through border control . Com.unication with our particular guide was not good.

Coach riding tour rather than a Gibraltar tour - We were picked up at 0715 sharp in Malaga and it took 3.5 hours to reach La Linea just because we had to pick up people on route. I joined the rock tour it wasn’t really a tour they offered a minibus up the Gibraltar rock with an audio guide explaining the different sites and the driver just pointing towards those places and we stopped at the Europa point for 10 minutes, when there are a few things to see- the lighthouse, a mosque, a battery it was just a photo stop without anyone explaining the history and everything, there’s no time to read what’s written in each sites either. Then off goes another drive up the mountain to St Michael’s cave- 20 minutes stop was just ok as there is a light show that’s on every 7 minutes or so. Managed to do that. Finally we spent the most time at the last stop just for the monkeys (yes they are cute but is 15 minutes really worth it…) ended up in the main square at 1310 to begin my free time. There are so many other places to visit that I barely had time to finish - luckily I managed to spot a plane landing and walked on the runway. Left at 1615 and another 3 hours drive back in town (noticed they mentioned they stopped picking up passenger in Marbella and Estepona? We stopped by Estepona dropping off one passenger), and 4 more stops that’s off the highway through all those narrow streets, flustered me a lot… like there were already around 30 pax leaving from Malaga isn’t that already enough clients?

Worst experience - We showed up at pickup location at confirmed time to learn that tour was scheduled 3 hours earlier. Turns out We needed to push contact tour operator button to see the message. There was no notification by email. Other people were in the same situation. Since others had more time , they were rebooked for next day and for us we were denied refund. Customer service is not helpful at all. This is my last time using tours or trusting them.

Wrong information on timing ruined our day - We were picked up on time in Malaga for this tour. We were about 1 hour into the trip to pick up other passengers when the bus pulled over due to a problem. We were told we would need to wait about 1 hour for the part to arrive and get fixed. We got off the bus to speak to our tour guide as we had a 9:00 pm flight out that evening. The tour is advertised as taking between 7 and 10 hours. Since we left at 7:15 am, we figured we would be back 10 hours later at 5:15 pm at the latest. When I asked my tour guide to confirm what time we would now be back due to the extra delay, he told us we would not make our flight out. He said the tour takes longer than 10 hours total. I expressed my frustration at booking a 10 hour tour that would be a 12 hour or longer tour. We, as well as several other people, ended up getting off the bus and not continuing with the tour, since it would be over an hour additionally delayed due to the broken bus. We made a special trip to Malaga to take the Gibraltar tour and were very disheartened that it didn't happen. It is the tour operators responsibility to accurately list how long the tour lasts so that people can plan appropriately. When I see that a tour lasts up to 10 hours, then I expect it to not go 2 hours longer than expected. Please update the information you share on this tour so people can make a booking with accurate information. It was extremely frustrating to lose out on this trip due to a lack of accurate information shared on your own website. We wasted a lot of time and money and effort to go on this tour and it did not happen in the end. Do better visitandgo!!!!
