The trip was nice, we had a professional guide that explained us a lot about Gibraltar on the way to the destination, historical facts, fun facts and practical information. In Gibraltar we took the rock tour and we were very pleased with it. We had a minibus, the driver was super nice, in the bus there were audio explanations about the points of interest we were passing by and we visited the Rock in about 2h-3h, with some stops to take photos of the lighthouse, to visit St Michael's cave and see the monkeys and some nice views. The tour doesn't take you to the top, where the cable car is, but for us it was ok because there were very beautiful views already where we stopped and the top of the rock was mostly covered in clouds anyways. Then we had some free time (about 2h30) to enjoy the city and have something to eat. Time flew and it was exactly what we needed for you trip to Gibraltar. I would definitely recommend this trip.

It was a really good tour. The only bad side is that we lost 1.30 h additionally due to all the pickups along the way. 90% of the people on the tour entered the Malaga bus and only a few people entered the villages on the coast we had to stop at. The tour would be much more efficient if going straight from Malaga. When booking, you may want to pay attention that the lower price for the tour includes only the bus transportation to Gibraltar. If you want to go to the Gibraltar Rock OR Dolphin watching, you have to choose one or the other and pay additionally around 40-50 euros.

We had a great time in Gibraltar and the transport was reasonably comfortable. We did have to get up very early to catch the coach but that meant we had a healthy amount of time to spend in Gibraltar - if you want to go to the rock I would suggest you go straight to the cable car station before it gets crowdy. It was £44 return for one person including the entry ticket - price might seem a bit steep but there are lots to see once you get there so it's worth it.
