Gibraltar Rock Tour with Native Guide and Skywalk Visit

This guided tour explores Gibraltar’s key landmarks, including St. Michael's Cave and the Skywalk, suitable for history and nature lovers.

Description

Start your tour at the Pillars of Hercules, overlooking the bay and straits of Gibraltar while learning why the Romans named it 'Mons Calpe', meaning 'The hollow mountain'.

Next, visit St. Michael's Cave, a large natural cavern used during World War One as an ammunition store and emergency hospital due to its consistently cool temperature. It now hosts cultural events and features 'The Awakening', an immersive visual installation.

Proceed to the Skywalk, opened in 2018 by Mark Hamill. Here you will enjoy expansive views from the top of the rock.

Continue to the Top of the Rock to see Gibraltar’s only wild macaques, the Barbary apes, in their natural habitat alongside spectacular vistas.
