“We travelled as a family with children (6 and 9 y.o.) and we all liked the trip a lot! Free time at Gibraltar was enough for a sightseeing tour and for souvenir shopping, as well we had a lunch. The excursion to the Rock also was extremely interesting: the driver skills were amazing for narrow streets up to the hill, ans the sense of humour too. The caves amazed me, I didn't know that there are so beautiful caves. And the "locals" monkeys were friendly and funny. Excellent trip for one day! It definitely worth the money.”
