3.Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 583 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $96

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Malaga, Marbella, Fuengirola, Estepona, or Torremolinos to Gibraltar.

The tour is multilingual, so expect English, Spanish, and possibly French commentary.

“Long bus journey to get there depending on your town pick up point. Not enough time in Gibraltar tour itself, everything was super rushed. 20 minutes at the caves and monkeys outside. 2 hours to ramble the streets for shopping. No need to change your currency from Euros. Lots of walking involved. No meal or drink included.”

5.Gibraltar Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 124 reviews · 10 hours · from $151

Travel from Seville to Gibraltar with a Spanish or English-speaking guide, crossing the border for Europa Point, St. Michael’s Cave, and the famous Barbary macaques. You’ll also have time for lunch and shopping. Guides such as Petra, Manuel, and Driss have been praised for clear explanations and careful group management, though the day involves long transfers and plenty of walking.

“Great trip except for the amount of walking required. We expected to do some walking, but this exceeded what we expected several times over. Our guide, who kept us together very well, accommodated our VERY slow walking pace, as well as she could without slowing down the overall pace of the tour. We saw and experienced some great moments, especially the stop at the meeting of the Mediterranean and Atlantic and the magic of the Gibraltar caves. Wonderful.”
