Our Gibraltar tour was an absolute highlight of our trip! From start to finish, it was well organized, informative, and so much fun for our entire family.
We explored all of Gibraltar’s iconic sights, including the Rock, the lighthouse, the famous Barbary apes, the spectacular St. Michael’s Cave, and the fascinating World War II tunnels. Every stop offered something unique, and the stunning views over the Mediterranean and the Atlantic made the day even more memorable.
We had an unexpected delay getting through customs and border control because of heavy traffic, and we were so grateful that the tour company kindly held the bus for us. That small gesture made a stressful situation disappear and showed how much they care about their guests.
Our guide, Peter, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor that kept everyone engaged throughout the day. He shared Gibraltar’s history in a way that was both interesting and entertaining, and he made sure everyone felt welcome and included.

An absolutely brilliant tour! Peter from Blands Travel was absolutely marvellous! And Gibraltar is fascinating--we recommend this tour unequivocally, and promise you will love it!

The tour guide Angel, was humourous and informative. St. Michael's Cave was impressive. It was unfortunate we were limited on the tunnel museum; it was very interesting but we only saw a very small bit of it. The monkeys were very patient with all the cameras.

This is an accelerated tour. Stops are 5, 10, 20 minutes. We felt rushed and would recommend a longer tour option.

Thank you for your feedback, these tours have there timings.

Our guide, angel, was an excellent driver. He was also an entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The cave was excellent. It would’ve been nice to have more time there, but a quick walk-through was all we had. We saw numerous monkeys, which was a treat.

Hello, thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed the tour!

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the start. The Blands tour company’s pickup location was quite far from the ship, and approximately 75 people were waiting to check in with only one person managing the process (second person shows up later).
About 45 minutes after the scheduled start time, the first bus finally arrived, but we were unable to get on it. We were then informed that there had been an accident on the road and that another bus would not arrive for an additional 45 minutes to an hour. At that point, we asked if we could cancel and were told that we could.
Given the continued delays, taking the tour would have meant returning to the ship too close to the embarkation time, which made it impractical for us to continue.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Hello, sorry to hear about this. Please send us an email to travel@blandstravel.com if you wish, to investigate further. Once again most sincere apologies.
Leanne_R, Mar 2026
Best part was Europa Point. It was hard to hear/understand the guide clearly. It could depend on your guides accent. Ours did a good job but she was at the front of the bus, often facing forward so, it was harder to hear/understand. Wish guides had audio that is heard throughout the bus. Still worth it.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for review - this is something we should be implementing soon. Glad you enjoyed the tour!

A must do trip

Christine_G, Mar 2026
The Rock Tour was interesting learned quite a lot about the history of the tunnels and the caves were beautiful but I was disappointed that we did only see 2 monkeys I was expecting to see a lot more when asked the tour guide was informed that we were lucky we saw any I think this needs to be highlighted as I booked this s tour especially to see the Barbary monkeys so was very disappointed paying over a £100 for this trip for 2 of us I think this needs to highlighted so if you book you know that you might not see any and then the customer can decide whether they want to book the trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback, im sorry you didn't see many apes. They are in their natural habitat and normally they are all roaming around St Michaels cave & apes den however we cant 100% guarantee this.
Becky_E, Mar 2026
We had a wonderful time. Our guide was a true local, his family having been in Gibraltar for generations, so he knew his material. We saw some things that were probably not on the average tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your feedback, glad it was an enjoyable experience.
Dale_S, Feb 2026
A bit of a cattle run but efficient, well run, entertaining driver and sufficient time at each location to enjoy. The only negative aspect was finding the meeting place. Allow an extra 10-15 min to figure out how to get up to the 2nd floor of the parkade and then a few minutes to find them hidden in SE corner. Better instructions would help.

Dear Viator Team,
We recently took the Rock of Gibraltar tour and wanted to share some feedback.
The tour itself was thorough and covered everything advertised, including the Southernmost Point, the Cave, and the Apes. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.
That said, a few areas could be improved. The driver would have benefited from using a microphone, as it was difficult to hear the commentary about the landmarks and history. The bus was somewhat dirty, and at one point we could smell the brakes while descending the mountain, which was a bit concerning.
We would also appreciate clearer instructions regarding the meeting point and better identification (such as visible Viator signage or names on the bus) to avoid confusion at pickup.
Thank you for your attention, and we hope this feedback is useful.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for your feedback. Will take points on for consideration. Regards :)

From the monkeys to the caves to the tunnels, great tour that didn't take an entire day! Great length and good driver?

Due to extreme weather conditions the trip was cancelled. Operator cancelled the trip the day before and they are currently in the process of giving me a refund..
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Unfortunately this was inevitable due to a severe weather warning where the Nature reserve was completely closed as seen unsafe due to the gale force winds.

Excellent tour guide. He was informative and fun with the monkeys. Very enjoyable. The cave is worth seeing too.

We found the stops a bit short to do the visited attractions properly.
Since there was rain on hilly pavement the vehicles tires spun causing concern among the passengers. We were able to mingle with the macaques, Wartime tunnels were very impressive and the Blue Cave was spectacular but be aware it is dimly lit for walking.

Our tour guide, Douglas, was excellent. He was a long time resident of Gibraltar and shared his insight with us. My only regret was that the tour we chose did not go into the Rock tunnels but that was my fault.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback, it is appreciated. Glad it was an enjoyable experience.

Good tour overall saw everything we wanted to see. Driver/ tour guide was good some seat belts that worked may help if anything goes wrong!

Maile_R, Oct 2025
For limited time, this is a very good tour. We hit several spots spending between 20-30 minutes at each. Europa point was hampered by hazy conditions, but that is the luck of the draw. St. Michaels cave was beautiful Be sure to look for the angel and wait for the light show on it - it is stunning!!! Monkeys everywhere - no need to do an extra monkey tour - they are quite docile and let you get close for photos. SOme people were feeding them and ttaking pics as the monkeys would crawl onto them, but this did not seem like the best idea to me. Our driver was quite knowledgeable, but kind of scary as a driver!, Meetin point a few minute walk from the main street for shopping and the bus station has snacks and a bathroom.

A good way to see 3 of the main attractions .
Informative and there was plenty of time at the sites.

Thank you for your comments, glad it was an enjoyable experience.
Ash_O, Oct 2025
Superbly organised, excellent and accessible meeting point. Our tour guide, David, was incredible and made everyone feel comfortable. Great sense of humour and moved everyone from each attraction to the next without feeling rushed around.
You get to keep the nature reserve ticket when you get dropped and we used it again that day to go to the sky walk and then only had to pay for the cable car.
Highly recommend using this company to book this.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback, glad it was an enjoyable day
David_B, Oct 2025
I use the app to find the location of this tour but these clowns don’t tell you that the pin point on Google maps takes you to the outside of the car parking building. Nobody in sight. No signs for Viator tours. Eventually we find out the meeting point is on the 2nd floor of the parking lot.
That would have been good to know from day one not having that information hidden in an email with the ticket sent to me the day before.
We missed our tour by about 3 minutes.
Luckily we were accommodated on another tour two hours later.
We travel lots and have done dozens of tours and this is the first time we have come across this level of stupidity,
Bye bye Viator
Hello Get your Guide who we have used many times without issue.
By the way we were told others have had similar problems to us.
Tour was okay. Driver Peter was excellent
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your feedback, the meeting point description is stated it's on the second floor. sorry to hear you missed the original tour however we always try and accommodate and offered you the later tour.
james_g, Sep 2025
It started 25 minutes late because it was overbooked and the vehicle was too small. Once we started, it was great.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback, there must have been a hiccup this day as we don't normally overbook and all the clients go on tour.
glad you had a good experience on the tour.
Barry_D, Sep 2025
A short but efficient tour - you don't need much more than this. We couldn't really hear the guide from the back of the bus. Someone should give her a microphone or she should at least face the passengers. She was either looking at the driver or to the front the entire time.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for your feedback, we will take on board the comment of the microphone as all our driver/ guides have a microphone.
Glad it was an enjoyable experience.
