Gibraltar day trip with St Michael’s Cave and tour of the Rock

4.4/5

An exotic blend of the familiar and the unusual, Gibraltar is a must-visit. This tour ticks off all its top attractions – the Barbary apes of the Rock, St Michael's Caves and the Main Street. Rosa, one of our local guides, says: ‘Gibraltar is one of the most unexpected culture shocks I've ever encountered. It feels like my native Andalusia, but everything looks British. Wandering around, listening to the locals chat in their cute dialect is always a joy.'

The fun kicks off on a high with a guided tour of the Rock of Gibraltar. Towering 426 metres above the Med, its steep slopes look daunting – but you'll be discovering it from the comfort of a minibus. The first stop is packed-with-monuments Europa Point, a popular spot for taking snaps. At the Upper Rock nature reserve, you'll meet the free-roaming Barbary apes – Europe's only wild monkeys. On a clear day, you can see all the way across to Africa. Next up is St Michael's Cave. Once home to Neanderthals and used as a war hospital during World War II, they're now an atmospheric concert hall.

Back at ground level, Gibraltar's town centre has a distinctly British feel to it, whether it's the more obvious red phone and post boxes or the more succinct ones such as arched Georgian door frames. Tuck into a pie or maybe some fish and chips for lunch, before some retail therapy. Main Street, where many of the British high street chains have outlets, is famed for its duty-free shops.

    Far far too rushed in the caves and up the rock. Felt like I hardly saw the rock area at all. Had no time to see the show in caves and didn’t really see the monkeys. Gary took us around too quickly and didn’t stop enough. All this was because trip was running late. Sonia rushed all this as she was so intent on those not missing the dolphins. We had too much time on our own verses time on the rock and in the caves, THE GIBRALTAR ROCK AND FREE TIME TOUR SHOULD NOT BE ON SAME TRIP AS DOLPHINS ONE.

    The tour guide Ali great, and very good with kids, speaks many languages, bus driver very nice too. Speedy service Torremolinos to Gibraltar, pick up arrived 10 mins early arrived in Gibraltar with 4 hours to look around then up the rock and cave saw a few apes they hide more in the heat. Very hot July. Would have liked more time to look for the apes at the top. However very busy up there,beautiful view to admire. My son enjoyed his trip. Bring money to eat and shop around Gibraltar.

    Due to strike by metal workers and the road into Gibraltar being closed the journey from the hotel in the bus took over 3 hours. I realise this is not anyone’s fault but I do think TUI must have known about the strike and subsequent delays so I should have been given the option to cancel. The delay meant time was cut really short and everything felt seriously rushed on arrival. So disappointing.

    Flávio was very good but he was looking after a lot of people on different trips so it was hard for him to manage Dolphins and Cave Tour at the same time. The whole point of our trip was to see the cave. However , we only got 20 minutes, we spent 10 minutes queueing to get in so barely got to see it all. Also the cave trip dropped us off a long way from coach station and the town.

    I thought the escort/guide on the Tui coach was fantastic 10/10 for him unfortunately I've forgotten his name. However I thought the guide /driver of the mini bus was rude and I felt the trip was disappointing up the rock I felt rushed and treated as a child. He told me to put my phone away in a rude fashion in front of the whole coach . As a 68 year old adult I think I know when it's appropriate to use my phone I wasn't speaking in the following 10mins he answered a personal call for himself.
