Seville Gibraltar - This was the best thing we did on our whirlwind trip to Spain Morocco and Portugal . We decided to take a day trip to Gibraltar but cutting short a day in Seville .
Such a memorable experience.
Daniel Fernando our driver / guide picked us up from our hotel and we had the sedan all to ourselves . He covered the distance in 2 hours - engaging in a very good conversation about the history of Seville and showing us some interesting biodiversity along the roads ( plant and animal
Life ) . He then dropped us off at the immigration check point (the immigration process was in itself a breeze ) . Then on the other side we met our Gibraltar guide who drove us to the nature reserve stopping enroute for pictures and filling us with the history the city . After spending 2 hours in the city we headed back on a walk to the check point crossing the runway - which allows pedestrians to walk on it and we even watched a plane take off.
We met Daniel back on the Spain side and had a comfortable ride back to our hotel
Overall awesome experience- worth every bit of time .
Special word of appreciation for Daniel Fernando who took extra good care of us.

Great Day Trip From Seville - This was a great experience and a little bit unexpected. Our drive (Joan) has great. Very safe and great to talk to. The driver in Gibraltar (Tony) was very informative. Dont miss this if you are looking for a day trip out of Seville thats not just a castle and a cathedral.

Amazing day trip to Gibraltar! - We booked a private Gibraltar day tour, and it was really wonderful!! Our driver & guide for the journey to & from Gibraltar was Carlos, and he was so enthusiastic, helpful, and engaging. He gave us a lot of history about Seville and kept us entertained on the drive to Gibraltar. He clearly coordinated the transfer with our guide in Gibraltar who also made our experience really fun. The stops in Gibraltar were beautiful, and it was nice to have free time after to enjoy lunch and some souvenir shopping. For the drive back to Seville, Carlos was punctual to meet us and even helped guide us back to our hotel at the end of the tour. Would strongly recommend this tour, it was so worth it to book a private tour for this experience and to book with Not Just a Tourist.

Worth the day trip to Gibraltar! - The day trip was excellent. It was what we hoped for and was so lucky for the weather! It was well organized and planned. We had a wonderful guide, Daniel Fernando who was well informed about the area and surroundings. He drove well and explained things clearly for us. He was not your typical guide, he really went above and beyond to find us a great Jamon ham shop on a Sunday when everything was closed. But he managed ! He called in a specialised butcher shop to open just for us after our return from Gibraltar. In Gibraltar, we had Jon who was also great and took us to all the places and explained about the history of the area. Daniel Fernando also drove us directly to the airport after the tour was completed to catch our flight. Thank you for a pleasant trip 😊

Our great day in Gibraltar - We had an amazing day. Our driver (Daniel) and guide (Jose Luis) were brilliant. This was a private tour, Daniel collected us from our hotel in Seville and drove us to Gibraltar. He was a wealth of information en route. Because he was an agronomist by profession we were provided with so much information concerning the surrounding countryside. He was friendly, respectful, courteous, and a pleasure to be with - a great guy. He is a real asset.
Jose Luis met us over the border in Gibraltar. He is a native Gibraltan and was a wealth of information about the history of, and life in, Gibraltar. It was evident he was passionate about his role as a guide. We were driven through the township and up the Rock where we explored the Pillars of Hercules, St Michael’s Cave, the Sky Walk (and all the monkeys on the Rock) and the tunnels that litter the Rock. Jose Luis was a real character and fun to be around - with explanations along the way.
This was our first private tour, and worth every cent. Thank you so much Daniel and Jose Luis… from your grateful Aussies.

A great day in Gibraltar - Can throughly recommend this activity. Our driver (Daniel) and guide (Jose Luis) were amazing. Daniel collected us from our hotel in Seville and drove us to Gibraltar. He was a wealth of information en route and because he was an agronomist by profession we were provided so much detail about the surrounding land. He was respectful, extremely courteous and a great guy. Our guide (Jose Luis) met us over the border in Gibraltar. He was a native Gibraltan and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of Gibraltar. You could he was passionate about the Rock and being a Gibraltan. He drove us around the Township and Rock to various sites (which we explored) including Pillars of Hercules. St Michael’s Cave (amazing), the Sky Walk, and the tunnels of the Rock providing detailed explanation along the way. He was a real character and we got immensely well with him. This was our first private tour for two people, and an amazing experience. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending this tour. It was worth every cent. Thanks Daniel and Jose Luis!!! From the very pleased Aussies…..

Great tour, but pricey - It was really cool to be able to go to Gibraltar from Sevilla. It’s about a two hour drive each way. Our driver, Joan was great- picked us up on time, great communication, conscientious driver, easy to talk to. Our guide, Charlie was also fantastic. Born in Gibraltar, he was an enthusiastic tour guide- knowledgeable and friendly, and with an easy going manner.
The caves are okay. If you’ve ever been to Carlsbad caverns in New Mexico, you’ll be very disappointed because while these of course are beautiful, they pale in comparison. Also, the WWII “museum” was okay. The highlight was definitely the monkeys and the views from the top of the rock. The monkeys very used to humans and you can get quite close. We even saw a monkey steal a lunch from someone’s backpack and open up the Tupperware the lunch was in. Pretty clever.
My main issue was the expense. At over $400/person, this is pretty dang expensive, and it just didn’t live up to my expectation of what a $827 private tour for 2 people should be. I’ve been on group and private tours around the world, and this just doesn’t seem to fit the price model. Also, in a private email I got a note saying tips of 30-50 euros were the norm for the guides. That seems like an inappropriate comment to me. That should be up to the client, and not suggested in my opinion.
