Summary:
Our personal tour with Stephen was awesome! His professionalism, knowledge and passion for the Rock was inspiring and insightful. Understand this is a walking tour up the Rock with many stops and views along the way, not to mention the numerous monkey sightings. Our Garmin watch indicates 127 stories of stairs! After watching all the tour buses full of cruise ships passengers pass us by, we felt we had the better tour by walking and stopping. Plus we had Stephen all to ourselves! He even mentioned where to grab an early dinner afterwards (Ocean) which was fantastic! All in all, one of the better tours of our trip. Highly recommend Walk Gibraltar!

We had an incredible experience on our private walking tour of Gibraltar. Our guide, Stephen, was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Gibraltar’s rich history and culture. We were able to see so much in just a few hours. From the iconic Rock and the stunning views over the Strait, to the monkeys at the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, St. Michael’s Cave, and even the WWII tunnels – every stop was fascinating. Our guide provided just the right amount of context and stories at each location. A walking tour with Stephen is absolutely the way to experience Gibraltar.
Highly recommend – 10/10!
