A good full day tour - the only downside is the early start (6.30 am) from Malaga and you go through many other places to pick up passengers before heading on the road to Gibraltar. I don't think there is any way around this as it would be impractical and too expensive to run smaller buses from each town - thus having less pickups. However, the trip is worth it - there is some stunning scenery along the route and the view of three continents as you enter Gibraltar is beautiful - even better on a clear day when you can see Africa very clearly.

Great guide in Gibraltar who was friendly and very informative. The view was amazing and we loved St Michael cave. Only negative comment is the number of stops and time it took to get from Malaga to Gibraltar. Bus was very comfortable.

I would definitely book on this trip again, everyone was very friendly and couldn’t do enough to help you, plus the Apes on the rock are amazing!

The tour guide was great! She was very helpful and clear. Overall the experience was great, it was easy to find the right bus.

We've been to Gibraltar lots of times & this was perfect for a shopping trip.
