A great Tour - We, my colleagues and I, would like to once again thank Stephen for the fantastic and truly informative day. We had the opportunity to experience the Rock from a completely new perspective. The ascent chosen by Stephen, in coordination with us, was certainly demanding, but it was absolutely worth it. Stunning views of Gibraltar, its flora and fauna, and the sea made it unforgettable. We can highly recommend this tour with Stephen to everyone!

Excellent - We did this walking tour of Gibraltar with Stephen on 7.3.26 and throughly enjoyed it. Stephen was inclusive, knowledgeable and friendly. In our opinion he set the tone and pace just right and the small group size meant he had plenty of time to chat and answer any questions and point different additional areas of interest out of each of us in the group. We would definitely recommend this tour others. Thank you.

A great afternoon out on the Rock - My wife and I had an incredible afternoon exploring the Rock of Gibraltar with our guide, Stephen Hill. Stephen is clearly a veteran in his field; his professional insights and depth of knowledge made the history of the Rock come alive. We visited all the major sites, including the breathtaking St. Michael’s Cave and the historic war tunnels, and never felt rushed. ​Beyond his expertise, Stephen was exceptionally friendly, polite, and considerate of our pace. He answered every question we had with ease and offered a local perspective you just can’t get from a guidebook. If you are looking for a seamless, insightful, and high-quality walking tour, we cannot recommend Stephen highly enough!

Must visit while in Costs del Sol region - We chose the long way up and walked all the way. Not an easy climb but far superior to being stuck in a tour, waiting and having to follow along someone’s route. We could stop, change direction, take our lunch, visit caves and all the other things Gibraltar has to offer without feeling rushed. Not for the faint of heart for sure but you can take your time. Loved this - all of it!

Highlight of our trip to Gibraltar! - Absolutely amazing experience. We saw far more than you would have seen if you were taken up by taxi, and it felt like a far better experience. I took the tour with my 10 year old, who managed the walk well, so the walk is definitely suitable for all ages and abilities. Stephen is a really knowledgeable guide too. If you do one thing on your visit to Gibraltar, make sure it is this tour! 10/10.

One of our best guides and visits this year - We spent a lot of time abroad. Walking with a guide is one of our favourites. Stephen from Walk Gibraltar did with us the Upper Rock Gibraltar tour. A very nice and knowlable guide with a lot to offer about Gibraltar. A Walking tour of almost four hours, as he promised. Good speed. Nice vieuwpoints, a lot of monkeys and he has interest in his clients too. Special request for this walking tour like visiting the tunnels or finishing the tour at a specific point. It is all posissible. I would rank 6 out of 5 stars for professonality, hospitality and flexility and would recommend him strongly.

Amazing Day with Steve Climbing and Exploring The Rock of Gibralter - Our family absolutely loved our rock of gibralter walking tour with Steve. He was very tuned into our needs and interests and has so much knowledge of the area and its history. I was afraid of he significant climbs but he allowed us to go at the pace that worked for us while telling stories and details along the way and during stops. We did not know all of the experiences and history that this destination had to offer from the monkeys to the WWII tunnels museum, stunning cave with light show, cannons, views for miles as well as flora and fauna to name a few. We highly recommend this tour and Steve as your guide.

Fantastic - For the second time we had a fantastic walk with Stephen on the Gibraltar rock. The Upper Rock Walking Tour fully confirmed what is promised on the website. And even more. In more than four hours he took us to all the places worthwile, including the monkeys, and to some where hardly a tourist comes. Stephen is well informed, both on the history of the rock and on the sitation in the world (full of troubles and worries these days). And moreover: He is interested in his guests. The tour is tiring, but very, very worthwile. A wonderful experience with unparalleled views.
