For the price and the convenience of transportation directly to and from Málaga, not the mention the guided tour up the Rock, this trip was definitely worth it. We didn't choose to go on the optional dolphin-watching cruise because dolphins simply aren't abundant at this time of year. A lot of other reviews complained about the amount of time it took to get to/from Gibraltar because of having to stop at each hotel along Costa del Sol, but I thought it wasn't too bad. Besides, it was neat seeing all the cities in between Málaga and Gibraltar, not to mention being able to stay alongside the sea for most of the drive. I am recommending this tour to everyone in my study abroad program.

When I phoned to confirm my booking, I was pleasantly surprised by the news we would be picked up at our hotel. We were collected punctually and thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant drive to Gibraltar, enhanced by some interesting facts from our guide. The Rock itself was awesome, matched only by the enthusiasm and wit of the minibus driver who took us right to the top. We also saw the enthralling caves before having an excellent lunch in a local bar. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we were one happy couple when we were dropped off at the door of our hotel. A memorable trip and well worth the money.

The tour itself was pretty good. The bus ride was a little too long. Maybe the pick ups could be split into two separate tours. Also, maybe consider adding a tour for folks who don't move so well. Quite a bit of time was wasted waiting for people to load back on the bus.

We had fun with the tour.the downside is that we came during the winter season so the duration of the tour was rather short.from the pickup until the finish of the tour,everything was perfect.

We thought the tour was excellent and didn't mind the four hour bus ride getting there and back. On arrival at the Spanish checkpoint one passenger had to get off the bus because she didn't have her passport. The tour guide DID NOT ASK FOR IT WHEN SHE GOT ON THE BUS IN MALAGA - which she should have done.
You cannot get into Gibraltar without a passport.

It was a very long drive as we stopped to pick up all the tourist along the way to Gibraltar. The tour of Gibraltar was good.

I Liked the tour of the "Rock", very good driver in Gibraltar and liked the tour . I do feel the website needs to reflect the extremely LONG (4 hrs!) bus ride to get to Gibraltar as we pick people up on the way.We had to ask for a bathroom break as we got on at 8am and break was at 1100! Thank goodness we ate lunch then ,as when we got to Gibraltar our tour started right away and finished at 2pm. We had some elderly people on trip so i felt bad for them to have to wait so long to eat. Would encourage people on this trip to Bring Lots of snacks and or sack lunch, as no Bathroom on bus ask driver /tour guide for rest stop, some walking invloved , lots of bus riding!! I think it would be more worthwhile to have more central pick ups rather than go to each hotel! Also, Janet our tour guide didnt introduce herself or start talking or let us know how long before we get to Gibraltar til about 1 1/2 hr into our trip!

We wanted to see Gibraltar with the occasion of a holiday in Andalusia, so booked this trip especially to avoid the hassle of using the public transportation from Malaga to Gibraltar. The downside: effective stay in Gibraltar too short, 4 hours. The upside: the Gibraltarian guide, smart and polite.

The tour guide was very hard to understand. His English was good but he spoke too fast and not clear. He was also very unfriendly and very unorganized. He did not give us much information about anything. He wasted a lot of time making walk to and from the bus for no reason. When he left the tour, he did not even say goodbye. He just got off the bus. We were hoping we would get back to where we needed to be since he acted like we weren't even on the bus anymore. However, the tour guide we had on the Gibraltar rock tour was wonderful.

Quite interesting, but the pickup from different hotels was very unproductiv.
The time in Gibraltar was too short.
The guide was very anonymus, and he spoke very bad English.
