Gibraltar Sightseeing : Premium Tour with a Local Guide

Rock of Gibraltar Guided Nature and History Tour

This guided tour departs from Gibraltar, ideal for nature enthusiasts and history lovers seeking to explore the Rock’s key sites.

Description

Begin with a pickup from your preferred location in Gibraltar, traveling by luxury minivan to the Rock of Gibraltar, a prominent limestone ridge. Experience panoramic views where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea and where Europe meets Africa at the Pillars of Hercules Viewing Platform.

Visit St. Michael’s Cave, a natural grotto renowned for its stalactites and stalagmites, and learn about its geological history and use as a concert venue. Next, encounter the Barbary macaques, Europe’s only free-roaming wild monkeys, and observe their behaviour in their natural habitat.

Walk across the Skywalk, a glass platform offering clear views of both sides of the Rock, and cross the 71-meter-long Windsor Suspension Bridge spanning a deep gorge. See the Ape’s Den, historically significant as the meeting place of King Charles and the macaques in 1954.

Explore the Great Siege Tunnels, an 18th-century network carved by the Royal Engineers during the Great Siege of Gibraltar, followed by the World War II tunnels, which were excavated to defend Gibraltar and support the Allied war effort.
