In a word - WOW!!! We took a taxi tour for $25 Euros each which included all admissions. There were six of us in a nice sized van. Our tour guide / taxi driver was Alfie. I would recommend Alfie as he is a local who was born in Gibraltar and knows all there is to know about the area.... more

No Rock Tour with the Husslers please Dear Tourist, please book your rock tour via the tourist office, your hotel reception or directly by calling the taxi association "20070027 / 20070056, rather than letting the central main street operators harass you as those are just cheaky taxi drivers who will later ignore you when you need to get back to... more

Take a tour guide and van up to the top of the Rock. If you take the cable car up, you have a very long walk down. I was so excited when the monkeys jumped on me. Just don"t move and they are fine. Looking out is beautiful. Make sure you visit the shops in town. Also when you are... more

Since I went in the summer time there were a lot of tourists here. We went to the cable car and found out there was a 2 hour wait, so we decided to walk up the rock ourselves. Not many people must do this because there are no sidewalks and when we got to the toll at jews gate the... more

Totally worth a side trip if you are in southern Europe. We did it as kind of a 1/2 day trip from our condo up near Malaga. Take the gondola to the top. It's a bit pricey--11.50 euros--but worth it for the views and to see apes. They'll come right up to you. We have some of our best pics... more

First off, this is a confusing listing. There are listings for the Hotel included here, which are negative. The attraction of The Rock of Gibraltar, on the other hand, seems to get positive reviews. I'm here for the latter. The Rock of Gibraltar is great! It's far more than just the symbol of an insurance company. The views of Africa... more

I loved the tour we had of the Rock, we took one of the many mini bus tours up. We stopped first at Hercules Pillars and had some great views of Africa across the Starights. We then headed up to the caves, as we approached the monkeys decended on us. Our guide told us that these ones were know as... more

Three nights at the Rock Hotel. An oasis in a busy world - it was for us. Despite a power cut after an unseasonably early thunderstorm, there was a hot breakfast, and hot water in the shower. One of the few places I have been that I would go back to. The room was large and comfortable, and the beds... more

If you are used to only seeing caged animals, walking around the Upper Rock and interacting with the golden tailless monkeys will be a trip highlight! We laughed and laughed as they jumped on cars and people. To get an idea of what you're in for, go to YouTube and search for "Barbary Apes of Gibraltar." I can't imagine anyone... more
