Gibraltar Sightseeing: klassieke rotstour (privé)

Amazing experience! The guide, Tommy, takes you to to great places and provides _a lot_ of information. He even can recognize and know the names of the monkeys! (Yes, each one of the ~300 monkeys has names) The tour takes +2h, but it was impressive how the time flew fast, as Tommy was explaining lots of things during the visit — the history, the people, the relationship with Spain, the lives of people who are residents or just go to work everyday (eg: how Gibraltar gets its water and energy, the lack of space for new apartments for the youths and how they reclaim land to handle that, the impacts of Brexit, the school system, etc). Really, you’ll get tons of information during your tour!!

We rented a car from Málaga Airport and drove to the border of Gibraltar. It’s better to take the normal road because it saves you €40 round-trip in toll fees and better views. It was very easy to park the car near the border (free parking on Sunday) and walk across the border, where Tommy was awaiting us. It was less busy on a Sunday, we didn’t mind that the shops were closed. Tommy grew up in Gibraltar (3rd generation) and knew alot about Gibraltar and the rock. He was very patient and we didn’t feel rushed. We highly recommend Tommy.

Dylan met us right outside of customs. He immediately began sharing interesting information about Gibraltar. We had a very enjoyable conversation as we made our way to the caves. We learned so much about the significance of the region, history that made it what it is and natural features. Our favorite part of the trip was the monkeys. They were everywhere. It was fun to see them in their environment. Just relaxed and enjoying life. Dylan dropped us off at a great local restaurant at the end of the tour. It didn't disappoint. We truly enjoyed our time learning about Gibraltar and experiencing it first hand.
