Gibraltar Day Trip from Seville

Seville/ Gibraltar What joke! We were told that we’d get picked up and returned at our hotel, but we’re called in the middle of the night that we’d have to meet them at 8:45 a.m but got called back to make it 9:00 a.m. So we did with the taxi. When we got there the chauffeur was a bit irritated saying we were 30 minutes late. The tour advertised a stop in Cadiz for lunch but that didn’t happen. On return he dropped all the other people off at there hotels but dropped us off in the middle of nowhere to find our own way back to our hotel. Now all this company does is give you a ride to Gibraltar they are not the guides, just an expensive taxi who to save money changed liscense plates on his van in the parking lot to save money. The actual tour up Gibraltar was fine only due to an experienced Spanish guide who was very good. After coming down from the rock for some reason we had walk 40 minutes to meet our initial driver at a McDonalds to catch our 2.5 hour ride back to Seville. Total 5 hour drive from Seville to Gibraltar to and from for a 45 minute tour of Gibraltar. I don’t think this company is legitimate because the van did not have commercial plates neither was the van marked with a name. All in all, Bad advertising and very unprofessional. Tourists Beware!!!

The tour of Gibraltar Rock. Going up the tram. If you want me to say more, then it will be not good. Overpriced. Tour guide referred us to a tourist trap. Could not understand the guide well. Otherwise he was a nice guy.

It was a long day, but it was excellent. Our tour guide was very friendly and did everything to make us feel more than welcome in Spain. He took us through the Andalusian countryside and into Gibraltar explaining everything we encountered. In sum, an excellent tour. A must have in your next visit to Spain.

The tour itself was more or less as expected- a taxi to and from Gibraltar. It’s a 2.5 hour drive each way. Once there you get a different bus to drive you around the island and stop at the caves. There is then an hour and a half of free time to get lunch. The problem is it’s not really enough time to do much of anything, and it skips over other highlights like the cable car, WW2 caves and other things that we wanted to see. Each stop we basically had to run though to meet the time limit, and not enough time to read any info signs. The free time is just enough to get some food but not enough to shop or do any other exploring/sightseeing. We had a few problems with our tour- selected hotel pickup but didn’t get it (had to walk 15 min to a pickup point), and the return drive was 3 hours and they didn’t stop for a bathroom break, and there were none on the bus. If you absolutely have to visit Gibraltar for the lowest cost to say you’ve been there, then this tour would achieve your goal. I would be hesitant to recommend it though- you’re better off paying extra for a semi private or private tour. Lastly, if you want a passport stamp (yes, these are big souvenirs for some people) you can’t get one on a tour, you have to go privately outside the peak border crossing hours and request it. We contacted the tour operator about the problems and they didn’t bother responding. There doesn’t appear to be a way to contact Viator directly about problems post-tour so buyer beware.

The history of Gibraltar is really interesting. The fact that it’s a British territory instead of Spanish was a surprise. Our tour guide on the way to Gibraltar was really good and better than the tour guide in Gibraltar. The tour bus stopped at a couple of scenic lookouts for some great pics. Even though it was cloudy, one of the main highlights was seeing the outline of the Northern coast of Africa. Another stop was the famous cave. It was just ok; however, the monkeys outside were awesome! The tour ended in downtown. They allowed us two hours for shopping and dining. Shopping is big in Gibraltar due to no taxes but I wasn’t that impressed. Evidently great prices on tobacco and alcohol. The other really highlight was walking across the airport runway to exit Gibraltar. You either drive or walk across the airport runway entering and leaving Gibraltar!

The guide was good, but the tour was terrible. 5 hours of driving for 1 attraction. I wanted to see the siege/world war 2 tunnels, but due to the location and our timing, it was not possible. Too much free time in a dirty shopping area, and not enough sightseeing. Make the tour longer or scrap it.

Excellent tour itinerary. Extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and well informed tour guide. Adequate free time to explore comfortably.

This tour was absolutely the highlight of my 2 weeks in Spain and Portugal. The palaces are stunning, both inside and the gardens. Going to the westernmost point in Europe was a cool experience. I cannot day enough nice things about our guide, Guilherme. Guilherme had tons of information about the sites we saw, Portuguese history, and local culture! He also had some excellent food suggestions. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lisbon.

Easy way to visit Gibraltar without thinking where to park or how to cross the border, but I think that there was much more to visit there and that it could've been better organized. Roman was ok as a guide, but limited with his explanations, we learnt everything about olives and olive oil, even though there is much more to learn about Andalusia, he also recommended some restaurants to visit in Sevilla claiming that there were not touristic, but actually when we checked it turned that they couldn't be more touristic

Average tour with little attractions at the end of a 2.5hr bus trip each way. The tour guide tried hard to keep the trip flowing. Older people on the tour struggled a little with the distance required to walk from the check point to the Gibraltar bus station.
