Caves and monkeys and donkeys, oh my! - Awesome tour! We loved visiting Gibraltar and Mijas and learning about both places. St Michael Caves and Siege Tunnels were really cool! The monkeys were so cute and playful! Really enjoyed the free time in Mijas. If possible, make time to do the donkey taxi. Big fun!

Gibraltar is a MUST SEE! - Our wonderful guide, Tom, was a font of information regarding Gibraltar and the macaque monkeys. Seeing the macaque monkeys up close was a once in a lifetime experience. The FANTASTIC light show in St Michaels cave was different from every other stalagmite/stalagtite cave we’ve viewed. I would definitely recommend the private tour to allow the tour to move at your pace. Mijas was a picturesque town, but I would recommend exploring on your own, the tour did not allow time to enter any shops or establishments, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
