Our tour was awesome!!!!!! Tommy was amazing. It was one of our best tours of our trip to Spain and Portugal!!! And, we really didn't know what to expect. Definitely worth your time and money to take a taxi tour!

    Dylan gave us a great view of Gibraltar and its history. He helped us get the best experience possible on our day on the Rock.

    Great morning to the Rock

    Simon_W, Oct 2025
    Great morning out to the Rock with Tommy who is born and bred in Gibraltar. Great insight into the history and geography of the territory and price inclusive of all entry fees. We even got close up and personal with the monkeys who clearly know and respect Tommy. Highly recommend this trip to get a lot crammed in to a morning visit.

    Simply Wow

    Theresa_N, Oct 2025
    Our guide Tommy was fabulous. So informative we were a group of 8 we all enjoyed. Well worth doing this trip

    Shelley_C, Sep 2025
    BEST EXCURSION!! Dennis was fabulous ! Great tour guide. Full of knowledge “The caves were magnificent The monkeys are a riot!! Worth every penny. We did private. Highly recommend

    Fabulous day in Gibraltar!

    Sara_S, Aug 2025
    Our family thoroughly enjoyed this interesting and informative tour. Tommy is an excellent guide, sharing personal insights and experiences along with lots of historical info. Very easy to coordinate - we are so glad we had our plans with Tommy ahead of time and didn't have to deal with the rush at the border to find a random taxi tour.

    A great way to see the Rock

    Linn_O, Aug 2025
    The tour was a great way to experience the Rock of Gibraltar. It was very convenient to be picked up at the border and to stop at the various spots along the way up the mountain. Charlie, our guide, was great and took good care of us. We really loved seeing the monkeys and a big plus was that he knew the monkeys and showed us how to interact with them.

    Fantastic Tour of Gibraltar

    Daniel_M, Apr 2025
    Tour was fantastic! Tommy kept the kids very engaged while learning about life in Gibraltar as well as the history. Everyone loved seeing the Monkeys and the Cave, I think for the younger members of the party this will be the highlight of their trip.

    Perfect visit

    Jason_T, Mar 2025
    Tommy is native to the country of Gibraltar and offers tremendous history to the peninsula. He makes it easy to get the visit done efficiently and also is very flexible. Also friendly and warm. It was the ideal trip that couldn’t have gone better.

    Worth while trip

    Emma_C, Feb 2025
    Informative friendly guide (Tommy) who showed us everything in Gibraltar at our own pace and to our taste.

    Day trip of the rock

    Tanya_S, Feb 2025
    Tommy was an amazing tour guide with tons of historical and personal knowledge! Our tour was like a history book! What a great time! The monkeys were so much fun and entertaining! I highly recommend touring with Tommy! The caves were interesting and we loved reading about them. The rock was fun and high! It was great to see and learn about Gibraltar

    Great tour

    Shauna_J, Nov 2024
    Tommy was great. Very cool experience seeing Gibraltar and hearing their history. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

    Tommy is the Man!

    Kenneth_M, Nov 2024
    Tommy was an amazing and informative guide. Loved his local insight. Amazing views from the top of the rock. Let us move at our desired pace. Cannot wait to bring the kids back to meet him!

    Great tour, informative and interesting

    Christine_K, Oct 2024
    From the moment we met Tommy we knew we were going to have a very interesting tour. Tommy born in Gibraltar told us how things had evolved from his childhood days and how politicians' decisions have shaped the island into what it is today. Tommy took us to see the Apes and introduced us to individuals and their offspring and told us how their health was monitored. A very enlightening, enjoyable tour for all participants together with Tommy showing excellent driving skills too. Would recommend the tour to everyone.

    Best tour of Gibraltar

    Linda_C, Oct 2024
    Our tour took our foursome around town, into St. Michael's Cave, the Great Siege Tunnels, the Pillars of Hercules, and the Rock of Gibraltar, where we visited the Barbary macaque feeding station. Our guide, Tommy, was highly knowledgeable and friendly. He met us at the stated time and promptly returned us to our ship at the designated time. He communicated with us in a timely and efficient manner. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it to other travelers.

    Thank you very much for such a nice review. I am very glad I made your day enjoyable.. Best regards Tommy

    The Rock

    Susan_W, Sep 2024
    Tommy was a wonderful tour guide. He was very attentive and caring. His knowledge of the area was great and we certainly appreciated it. He knew all about the monkeys and how they are cared for. I had a monkey jump on my head.

    Remarkable

    Hency_E, Jul 2024
    We had an absolute incredible time with this tour. Our guide Tommy was so patient, knowledgeable, clear , entertaining and skilled. He was amazing with monkeys, as we were a bit wary of them, he assured us we were fine, and so it was. This was GREAT choice. This guy gave us more then we expected. True honorable guide in every capacity. Thanks so much Thomas.

    Loved it!

    Amy_M, Jul 2024
    We had a great tour with Dylan! He picked us up on time at our rental apartment and drove us to the main sites—St. Michael's Cave, War Tunnels, Nature Preserve (the monkeys are NOT shy!), and Sky Bridge (unfortunately, the day we went, the Rock was completely clouded over). He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We wanted to do some shopping after the tour, so he dropped us off at the doorstep of our first shop. I would definitely not hesitate to hire this company again.

    Gibraltar is more than a rock - Get Thomas as your guide!

    Sharon_H, Jun 2024
    This tour was even better than any of us expected. Thomas was a fantastic tour guide and shared his personal experience on the island which made our tour much more interesting. He was entertaining and very educational....and to think we though this was just a big rock! Great history lesson and a beautiful area!

    Must do!

    Sharon_B, Jun 2024
    Fantastic tour! Tommy is an entertaining guide, extremely personable, knows all there is to know about Gibraltar. He made sure we had a 10 star visit! We’ve done a lot of guided tours and this is one of the best.

    Amazing tour of beautiful Gibraltar

    Simon_W, Jan 2024
    This tour was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Tommy, gave us tons of interesting historical and cultural details throughout our 2 hour tour. We didn't know what to expect, not having known much about Gibraltar, but it was likely our favourite port because of this excellent excursion. We went to the top of the Rock, saw the monkeys, walked through the WWII caves, and went to St. Michael's Cave. At each point we had 20-30 minutes to walk around. Tommy dropped us off in the town, which was almost like out of a movie set. So picturesque and lots of nice British shops to stroll through. From there it was a 20 minute walk back to the ship. Thanks Tommy for a great day!

    Best private tour. The only way to go.

    Betty_G, Nov 2023
    Our guide was wonderful and very accommodating. He gave us plenty history of Gibraltar. He made our tour very convenient. He was well prepared to get our pictures with the apes.

    Worth every penny

    Kenneth_O, Oct 2023
    Meeting Tommy , he’s an absolute gentleman and incredibly knowledgeable about everything Gibraltar. We never felt rushed and he was great company for our 2 hour tour and even dropped us back at the border afterwards . And of course the macaques😄

    Great experience…highly recommended

    fddx7qnszj, Oct 2023
    Tommy was attentive, responsive and pleasant to a tee. We had a delightful time as he expertly maneuvered the van and engaged us with his knowledge of history and local lore. A big thanks to Tommy for his excellent advice of eating at Roy’s and a wonderful outing.

    Great day trip

    Yolanda_M, Aug 2023
    Our tour of Gibraltar was amazing, Tommy was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Would definitely recommend to all.

    An amazing Gilbraltar experience!

    Lynn_S, Aug 2023
    Having a private tour totally enhanced our Gilbraltar experience! St Michael’s cave was simply amazing! We so enjoyed our encounters/sightings of the Barbary monkeys. Our guide Dennis was friendly and knowledgeable! We highly recommend this tour!

    Fascinating historical and cultural experience

    Rob_M, Jul 2023
    We all absolutely loved this experience. Fascinating history, great views and the Rock monkeys were entertaining. Our guide Tommy was punctual, polite and friendly. He shared anecdotes and historical context that helped us to put all that we saw into context, and was happy to answer all of our varied questions about Gibraltar. He did a truly fantastic job and made the two hours that we spent on this tour a major highlight of our holiday. I thoroughly recommend.

    Lots of interesting sites for such a small place

    Debbie_T, Mar 2023
    Dylan met us right outside of customs. He immediately began sharing interesting information about Gibraltar. We had a very enjoyable conversation as we made our way to the caves. We learned so much about the significance of the region, history that made it what it is and natural features. Our favorite part of the trip was the monkeys. They were everywhere. It was fun to see them in their environment. Just relaxed and enjoying life. Dylan dropped us off at a great local restaurant at the end of the tour. It didn't disappoint. We truly enjoyed our time learning about Gibraltar and experiencing it first hand.
