Full description

Explore the history of Gibraltar on a sightseeing tour by a small air-conditioned minibus. Travel back in time at Gibraltar's most famous sights.

Continue to Europa Point, the southernmost point in Gibraltar, with its Trinity House Lighthouse and impressive views across the Straits of Gibraltar to the northern coast of Africa.

Your next stop is the spectacular St. Michael’s Cave, which was converted into a military hospital during World War II. It has a wealth of history that dates back tens of thousands of years, and today it is used as a concert hall, with one of the best natural auditoriums with great acoustics.

Der Guide war sehr nett ubd fuhr uns sicher durch die engen Gassen. Für die angebotenen Stopps war jeweils genügend Zeit.

The tour was very good. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of history as well as explanations of where we were going and what we would see. We had a great day seeing Europa Point, St Michael’s Cave and The Awakening as well as the Gibraltar monkeys, Great Siege Tunnels and World War II tunnels. He was so kind to drop us off at the cruise port so we didn’t need to hire transportation back to the port. The only thing we could suggest to improve is clear directions to the meeting point. Due to not having cellular service we were unable to use GPS to find the location. Once we arrived at the coach park there was not a marked location for meeting our tour. Overall it was a great day though!
