About this tour

A guide accompanies you in each location, and hotel transfers are included.

What to expect
After hotel pickup, you'll cross into Gibraltar and spend several hours discovering the Rock's natural and historical sites with your guide. Expect a mix of walking and observation—caves, tunnels, and viewpoints punctuate the reserve, and the monkeys are habituated but wild. The second half takes you up to Mijas pueblo, a steep whitewashed village perched inland. Here you'll stroll narrow lanes, browse local shops, and soak in the quieter Andalusian pace. Both locations require comfortable walking shoes. No lunch is provided, though Mijas has plenty of cafés.
Good to know
Bring a valid passport for the border crossing into Gibraltar. Wear sturdy shoes and layers, as the Rock's altitude and Mijas's cobbles demand it. The tour handles all transport between locations. Infant car seats available on request. Book early and provide your email—a passport scan may be required.
