We had a lovely day on this trip. :) everything was well-planned and our guide Jorge was amazing - we learned so much about the area and received valuable recommendations. Our personal preference would be to have some more spare time in Marbella and Mijas but we realize it's also not easy to fit all three in one day, so it was very organized. We'd recommend skipping the lunch in Mijas and exploring the place instead because they're very slow in the restaurants and it will eat up all your free time there. Instead, you could buy some snack in advance for on the go. We didn't find Puerto Banus so impressive, unless you're really into yachts but it's the shortest stop, so it was fine. The museum and the little streets in Mijas, and the beach and little streets in Marbella were the highlights and worth seeing.

Guide Carlos is a well-oiled machine! Which is very handy in our group with over twelve nationalities and passing through EU and EU-border and back. We booked the rock tour and we fully recommend it. Especially if you have Louis as our guide! With the rock tour you get the most out of your day in Gibraltar. With Francisco as our skilfully driver and a new coach it was one of our best experiences. Gibraltar is full of history and with this tour you’ll get the cliff’s notes on all the various cultures. As the cherry on top, we were happy it did not rain compared to the past few/ all our days in Málaga.

The experience matched the description, but I would have liked to spend more time at Europa Point and at the Apes Den. We only stayed for 15 minutes each, took some photos and went back. After the Rock tour, we had 3h of free time, but that's too much for the main street of Gibraltar.

Instead of the Jewish Quarter, I would have rather paid more for the entrance to the Catedral. Because Seville is so far, (3 hours bus ride each way) our time there was limited and I was not able to see things that was on my list. The free time was very short.

Joana was an excellent guide. She explained all the stops during the trip and was always available during the day. We really enjoyed the experience. Incredible cities. We recommend it! 👍
