“Our guide, Luis, is an excellent storyteller. Moreover, he managed to tell his stories in both English and Spanish. Unfortunately, due to the fact that he sat with his back to the entire bus, he did not manage to capture everyone's attention. due to constant rumor we did not always manage to hear his entire explanations. The experience of walking through these places was magnificent due to the special cities merged with the relief and the unreally beautiful landscapes!”

“There were 2 buses. The first picked me up in downtown Malaga and brought me across the border. Then we tourists were broken down into language groups and sent on the tour of Gibraltar in mini buses. So there were 2 guides. Both were excellent! Rafael on the big bus was multilingual and well organized. Derek who drove AND gave commentary on the smaller bus was personable and his talk was very interesting. He's a local. A charming man. It was a wonderful tour and I'm so glad I took it!”
