The guide Sara was amazing although she was not told of our change of stop, she made the effort to find us and wait at the next stop. After a hard run to the next stop the coach was lovely and seats were amazingly comfortable. unfortunately we didn't go on boat or get into gibratar one of the group forgot passport so we deciided to all leave. however 5 stars still as Sara informed us of the options one to walk around and wait for coach to go back or two to find a bus however we got a taxi in the end, more cost but quicker and beautiful scenery.

great combination! the boat ride is very interesting, the guide tells a lot of things and willingly answers questions. then there are the funicular tickets with the skip-the-line which is very convenient. in november there was still a small line and we skipped it. at the fortress there are a lot of things to do and interesting routes, you need to buy the ticket to access the trails but it's worth it!

Great excursion, very nice balance between free time and guided tours. Our guide Carlos was attentive to our questions. Very nice experience.

Beautiful dolphin tour, easy to find and despite the rain there were lots of dolphins to see! A great experience!

We had a wonderful time, lots and lots of dolphins to enjoy.
