Great tour experience! - Stephen was an excellent guide, there was only two of us on the tour and he provided lots of information about Gibraltar and the Rock. We were able to see everything there was to see and learnt an awful lot. Stephen was very easy to chat with and we would highly reccomend choosing him for a tour.

Up Close and Personal Rock tour!! Well worth the Calorie Burn!! - Loved it! Very strenuous so be honest with yourself especially if you want to take the Mediterranean Steps option, BUT Stephen is extremely flexible and will make it work for any activity level. Knowledgeable, flexible, with an easy going approach - this tour will not disappoint if you want an up close and personal tour of the Rock.

Comprehensive, Flexible Tour w/ Memories for a Lifetime - We were an active family with both teens and a 9 year old. We knew this would be a challenge but wanted to do something special to celebrate the Independence Day weekend. WARNING: this was a rather strenuous activity especially selecting the Mediterranean Steps option. Logged over 20K steps with much of it uphill! WE LOVED IT!! Stephen is as easy-going, knowledgeable, and friendly as they come. Many tour guides can be fixated on a checklist of places to cover and to remain strictly on schedule; Stephen has built this tour to create flexibilities based on the exercise tolerance of the group. His knowledge of the Rock and the surrounding city allowed us to access areas of the Rock many would not see on their first visit. If you are looking for a comprehensive tour of the Rock, an awesome calorie burn, and a knowledgeable / flexible / friendly guide - this is the tour. Our 9 year old made it just fine!

Excellent tour and guide - Take this tour! Don’t bother looking for another! I have taken many tours and this tour tops my list. I visited Gibraltar with my husband and two children, ages 6 and 9. Stephen was very patient with our kids as we climbed up the Rock. He has plenty of history to share and included my kids in the conversation. The tour itself was exactly what I had hoped for — an active hike/walk, information about the area and beautiful views! I highly recommend this tour :)

a good day with big views - the walking tour was a great way to cover a lot of ground and be rewarded with huge views all along the way. we learned a lot about the history of the town and the rock. we saw many monkeys close-up, including a newborn and other juveniles. also saw pheasants and kestrels, but of course the monkeys were the big hit for our family group. the tour also included an impressive natural cave and some of the man-made tunnels. i had not realized there was anything to see inside the rock! those were also good places to rest. Steven was a good guide! friendly, knowledgable, able to adjust the walk to suit our preferences. i'd suggest any other summer walkers bring plenty of water, good shoes, and use sunscreen or a hat if you have one. the tour starts and ends in the town, close to a concentration of shops and restaurants.

Stephen - the Rock’s Star! - This is an amazing excursion with a fantastic guide. Stephen is exceptional and blends his deep knowledge with perfect conversational flair. The walk is relatively demanding (we are 65), but the payoff is more than worth it. The Rock is spectacular and this tour gives you the added bonus of personal accomplishment that makes the experience unique, memorable, and great material for stories for family and friends. We loved it! Give Stephen and the Rock a go. It’s great!

Walk Gibraltar is a Must Do! - This is a must do when visiting Costa Del Sol. It was actually our second tour of the Rock with Stephen. Both trips were incredible. He is truly a world class guide. We opted for a more challenging hike along the Mediterranean Steps. The history and views make the extra work worthwhile. Stephen goes out of his way to accommodate the needs of your group and shares some fascinating stories about Gibraltar.

Rock Tour - Stephen is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He took us to all the places we wanted to go. We saw so much more than I was expecting and we set our own pace and stopped in the shade when we wanted. The views are amazing and I'm so glad we booked this tour.
