Highlights
  • Cadiz - Embark on a private exploration of the Rock of Gibraltar with your own English-speaking guide who will provide a rich narrative of the history and culture of this magnificent landmark. / / The Rock of Gibraltar, towering over the gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, has long been celebrated for its stunning beauty and natural marvels. Among its most notable features are the Barbary Apes, the only wild monkeys found in Europe, its breathtaking landscapes and vistas, and its historically significant military position that has been the focal point of numerous conflicts over the ages.
    With a diverse blend of British, Spanish, Italian, and Jewish residents, among others, Gibraltar’s community has evolved into a vibrant, cosmopolitan society. This is partly due to the burgeoning financial sector and online gaming businesses that have emerged on land reclaimed from the sea. The historic heart of the city, with its graceful colonial buildings, and the quaint fishing hamlet of Catalan Bay add to its charm.

Additional Information

Join us on an incredible full-day, private journey from Cadiz to the Rock of Gibraltar, where you’ll uncover some of the mesmerising history of Gibraltar. Established as a British colony in 1703, Gibraltar stands as one of the enduring footholds of the British Empire.

Accompanied by a local guide from Gibraltar, we will tour the Battle siege tunnels, offering panoramic views over the local airport and beyond. We’ll also visit one of the Pillars of Hercules with a view of North Africa, St. Michael’s caves - a historic site where Neanderthal remains were found, the Moorish castle, and the Ape’s den.

Absolutely Recommend! Great Day - Highly Recommend. We were on a cruise and I booked this tour. The company was so professional I asked a million questions and they answered them all. I am also traveling with 4 small children. They were so kind and made sure that the kids were safe. The tour itself was amazing. Great pace. Amazing views and the to see the monkey’s was so special.

Day trip to Gibraltar from Cadiz - Exploring Gibraltar has been a goal for some time and our cruise ship docked in Cadiz so we decided to make the 1 1/2 hour trip to go there. Our driver Carlos was waiting for us when the trip docked and we traveled in a very nice car with him and showered him with questions along the way. He is an expert driver and answered our questions about the area well since he is a life long resident. At Gibraltar one must exit the EU and enter British territory. Carlos had an ID that allowed him to escort us through to meet our Gibraltar guide Mustaffa. Mustaffa is a gifted guide and makes sure your trip is enjoyable. Somehow the parked cars and people always seemed to part when we needed to move from spot to spot. He explained the historical aspects and allowed us time to move, read the various placards, and take photos. We never felt rushed. Being so experienced he knows all the workers along the way and seems to have a relationship with the band of apes at the top. He brings along snacks for them and as clients we were able to interact, and feed them. If you are comfortable with it, they will even perch on your shoulders for a photo. At the end of the tour he recommended a fish and chips shop where we had a beer with the food (what else in a British town?). While were touring and dining, Carlos waited patiently on the other side. We walked back across the active runway but had to stop at the barrier for a British Airways jet to land and taxi by giving us one of the unique experiences of Gibraltar. We went through the customs line where Carlos met us for the comfortable ride back to the ship. We had changes to the start time caused by the cruise operator and our contact Mark always answered right away and kept out guides informed. The communication was great from him and we highly recommend the tour.

Full day private tour of Gibraltar - Carl our tour guide was exceptional. His thorough historical knowledge of Gibraltar was outstanding. The pace of the tour was exactly what we needed with our limited time available.
