From the beginning/ booking, I sensed this would be a better than normal experience I spoke with Nabil late-ish the night before and didn't even have a booking yet. He took the time to explain everything about the tour and several times told me o could customize essentially as much as I wanted.
We decided on a private day and made the booking. I had just experienced cooking a private day tour in Gibraltar and getting both overcharged then rushed since the other party (on my private tour) didn't book all the things we did. That guide also skipped one of the stops. Then I saw the comment in a previous Nabil review stating the same. I asked about it and it was clear that Nabil was unhappy about that review as he took it as an insult since it seemed not to be true. He assured me our tour would be private (it was).
Nabil asked us several times during the tour if there was anything we wanted to do different. We asked for vegetarian meals and he accommodated...every person in the restaurant knew and reiterated vegetarian (wife has seafood allergies on top of our choices).
Each spot was explained with gusto.
His uncle met us and said "vamos" a lot lol. His english wasn't perfect (another complaint of a previous reviewer) but it was fine for the day.
One of the things I can't stand about tours is when they take you to shops where a hard sell is done. Without even asking, the moment I expressed a doubt, he stood up and said "ok let's go" and said something to the shop owner. It was greatly appreciated and I told him so.
He helped us with the ferry from Spain. He had a good sense of humour and told some good stories.
It was, in all, a good day.
