Amazing day trip - We had the most amazing day in Gibraltar. Our guide Johnny showed us all the important sights, he was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend our time with. Gibraltar itself is beautiful and definitely worth a visit. A big thank you to our driver Carlos who was amazing company and it was an extreme pleasure to spend so many hours in the car with him. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you!

Gibraltar with Carlos - Carlos was a spectacular guide and driver! He was so friendly and informative. John also assisted us once over the border in Gibraltar, and he was equally knowledgeable. The tour was exactly what we’d hoped for - a thorough yet relaxed private guided experience, stopping at all the key sites. It was an excellent value for the quality and variety of site we saw.

A Quick and Enjoyable Day Trip to Gibraltar - Admittedly, the price point for this tour is a bit higher than other options, but the stellar reviews convinced me it was worth it—and I’m happy to say, it absolutely was! Carlos drove us to and from Sevilla, and he was not only a delight to chat with but also very knowledgeable about both Gibraltar and Spain’s history and culture.
Once we crossed the border, we were guided by Juan Luis, a native Gibraltarian and true expert. He took us through the town and to several key spots along the Rock, including the caves, tunnels, and scenic stops to observe and photograph the famous monkeys. His insights and perspectives were incredibly informative, and he made the entire experience both fun and educational. We also had time to enjoy a meal and explore the main square and surrounding area before heading back, arriving home around 5:30 PM.
In hindsight, I wish we’d had a bit more time to explore the WWII tunnels and spend another hour between the Rock and the town, but given the long drive to and from Sevilla, it’s understandable. It’s just something to keep in mind when booking.
All in all, the tour was fantastic, and I’d highly recommend it. A little more time would have made it perfect, but it’s still a great experience and would happily do it again.

A must-do tour! - This excursion is a must if you are visiting the Sevilla area!! Highly recommend! It's roughly a two hour drive from Sevilla.
The line through passport control moved quickly for a Saturday and then we met our tour guide, Jerome, who explained the history and our visit to the top of the Rock of Gibraltar. Very worthwhile trip!

Loved The Whole Gibraltar Experience - Not Just a Tourist, the driver and guide all communicated in a timely way from beginning to end. Mahsa made it very easy for us each to pay individually. Our driver Jose was very polite and when he had a short delay, he let us know right away. John the guide was excellent and gave us plenty of time to see the different sites. We loved Gibraltar! And we felt good being in reliable hands. It was one of the highlights on our 3 week trip abroad.

Great day at Gilbraltra - A great day trip. Jeff was our driver from Sevilla to Gilbraltra. He was extremely nice and personal. Also very patient. We were a little late getting back to his car but he was fine with it. John our driver in Gilbraltra was also
fantastic and very patient. He gave us plenty of time at each stop to enjoy. He even had peanuts for us to feed to the monkeys. They were too cute. I would definitely recommend this company.

Worst experience ever - Viator Gibraltar Day Tour - BEWARE! Worst experience EVER with Viator and the local tour operator. Showed up promptly at 8 am for pick up as instructed. Guide never showed up. We called 10 times the local phone number provided to find out status and, after the 10th try, somebody answered. We were then told that while we are confirmed on the system, there is a technical glitch and mix-up that showed our confirmed date was one year from today from the local operator’s side! Wow! Worst excuse ever! Way more creative that “The dog ate my homework.”
I explained that we got emails EVERYDAY for the last week, before the trip, confirming the day trip we booked. Even printed the tickets on the Viator App confirming the date and time. But alas, to no avail.
So, my advise to all —> THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS OUT THERE TO ENJOY YOUR HARD EARNED VACATION!

Mal tour - When I bought the tour they didn't say you had to have a visa for Gibraltar, they said the passport had to be stamped for entry to the community, but when we arrived at the border they demanded a visa, Gibraltar is supposed to belong to the United Kingdom and as Colombians we don't need a visa to enter, but they demanded it, it is also going to see a rock that only has pig monkeys, it is expensive and not worth it, the only rescueable thing of the tour was the person who transported us, Caridad was very friendly and we felt very comfortable with it.
