Gibraltar Rock Tour

Around 1 to 1.5 hours by road, depending on your starting point along the coast and border traffic at La Línea.

A Rock Tour typically covers Europa Point, St Michael’s Cave, the Great Siege Tunnels, and the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, home to Gibraltar’s Barbary macaques. Ours runs privately, with a driver and guide dedicated to your own group rather than folded into a shared coach.

Yes. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory with its own border control, so a valid passport (or EU national ID card, for EU citizens) is required to cross from Spain.

A private tour removes the queuing, fixed timings, and shared itinerary that come with a coach group — useful in Gibraltar, where border crossings and cave access can otherwise eat into the time available at each site.

March through September gives the clearest weather for the Upper Rock viewpoints, though the Rock Tour runs year-round.

The apes are wild animals and should be treated as such. There are rules around what you should and shouldn’t do near them, follow those and you will be safe.

The official currency is the Gibraltar pound, and like the Scottish pound it is linked to pound sterling, which is accepted everywhere. A few places will accept euros. Payment by debit or credit card is easier.

Prices are closer to British than Spanish prices for many things. However, as there is no VAT, some things are cheaper in Gibraltar.

The British dug the Siege Tunnels, or Upper Galleries, during the Great Siege of Gibraltar in the late 18^th century.
