- Province of Malaga - The journey begins with a transfer from your accommodation in Malaga or Marbella. The drive will take approximately 2 hours from Malaga and 1 hour and 30 minutes from Marbella.
- Pillars of Hercules - A highlight of this tour is the Pillars of Hercules. Here, you can enjoy stunning views of North Africa, specifically Morocco. Witness the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the sole entrance to the Mediterranean. You will be positioned above Europe Point, the southernmost point of Europe.
- St. Michael’s Cave - The next destination is St. Michael’s Cave, which attracts thousands of visitors annually who explore its vast caverns with ease. This incredible natural wonder was formed by rainwater seeping through limestone, creating a weak carbonic acid that gradually dissolved the rock over millions of years.
- Skywalk - Following this, we will ascend to the top of the Rock to experience two attractions: The Skywalk, a glass viewing platform, and a visit to the monkeys.
The Skywalk, once a military lookout, has been transformed into a modern glass platform and walkway offering breathtaking views across the Mediterranean. It provides an uninterrupted 360º panoramic view. Step into this 360º environment and feel the freedom and excitement that The Skywalk offers.
- The Great Siege Tunnels - From the top of the Rock, we will drive to the north side to explore the Great Siege Tunnels, a must-see attraction. This site offers significant insights into Gibraltar’s history during the siege. The tunnels were manually carved out of the rock during the Great Siege from 1779-1783 to defend Gibraltar against Spanish and French forces attempting to reclaim it from the British.
- Gibraltar - The tour concludes on Gibraltar’s main street, where you will have time for lunch and shopping.
- Malaga - We will return to Malaga or Marbella, dropping you off at your hotel or apartment.

Fantastic Gibraltar experience – highly recommended! - We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to Gibraltar from Málaga and would highly recommend this experience!
Peter, our guide, was incredibly professional from the very beginning. He picked us up directly from our hotel, which made everything very convenient, and the journey from Málaga to Gibraltar was smooth, quick and comfortable. The vehicle was excellent as well. Peter was not only a great guide, but also a genuinely warm and friendly person, which made the whole experience even better.
Once in Gibraltar, we met our second local guide, who was absolutely fantastic – very knowledgeable, energetic and full of humor. We explored the Rock by car, visited all the main highlights and, of course, saw plenty of monkeys up close. It was such a memorable experience for both me and my girlfriend.
What made the trip even more special were a few experiences that you probably wouldn't get on a standard tour. Thanks to our guide's local connections, we were able to visit an ornithological station and even see baby birds up close. It was completely unexpected and a really unique addition to the day.
We explored the entire Rock. Unfortunately, there was quite a lot of fog that day, so some of the famous views were limited – but obviously that's just the weather and had nothing to do with the tour itself. We still had an amazing time.
After the guided part, we had more than two hours of free time to explore Gibraltar on our own, have something to eat and enjoy the town before heading back. The return journey to Málaga was just as easy and comfortable.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip to Málaga. Beautiful memories for me and my loved one. Great organization, fantastic guides and some truly unique moments. Absolutely worth it!

Costa - private tour Gibraltar - Amazing Private Tour to Gibraltar – Highly Recommended! We were a group of 9 people and organized a private day trip from Mijas to Gibraltar with Costa. We visited on one of the busiest days, with several cruise ships in the area, but everything was handled perfectly and professionally.
From the very beginning, Costa impressed us with their professionalism, excellent communication, and attention to detail. They organized the pickup directly from our hotel and arranged an amazing private 8-hour day trip, including transportation and a fantastic local tour guide.
Everything was perfectly organized, from the hotel pickup to the tour itself. Despite how busy the area was, the day ran smoothly, and we never felt rushed or stressed. Our local guide was excellent and made the experience even more enjoyable with great knowledge and interesting information about Gibraltar.
For a group of 9 people, having a private tour made a huge difference, and Costa did an outstanding job organizing everything for us.
We highly recommend Costa for anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and well-organized tour.
One word: TOP!

Gibraltar - We had an amazing time in Gibraltar! Thomas was an incredible tour guide who picked us up promptly, shared plenty of insights about the area and got us everywhere we needed to go very safely. We also connected with Karim while in Gibraltar to go around the island and felt very well taken care of the entire time. Highly recommend this tour!

Private Day Trip to Gibraltar from Marbella - Excellent and well organized tour. Local guide, Thomas, and Gibraltar guide were knowledgeable and fun, and made it a great day. All aspects of tour were memorable but loved the St. Michael's Cave and got lots of monkey photos. Enjoyed visiting main street of Gibraltar and lunch and visiting extra site on way back to Marbella which we hadn't had time to visit.

Comprehensive Gibraltar Tour with Knowledgeable Guide - Excellent, comprehensive tour. Very Knowledgeable about all aspects of Gibraltar. Driver a life long resident (former police officer) and nicely supplemented tour guide with a local resident's perspective.
Very open to varying itinerary to hit the 12 "must see" sites of gibraltar. Comfortable car/SUV transport from Malaga and in Gibraltar.
Expensive but WORTH IT!!!
