Detailed itinerary

Private tour of the Rock of Gibraltar with private English-speaking official guide to give you a wonderful insight of the history and culture of this spectacular place. / / Standing over the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, the Rock of Gibraltar has been renowned for centuries, for its beauty and natural wonders. Probably the most famous of all are the Barbary Apes, which are the only free-roaming primates anywhere in Europe, its impressive scenery and views to die for and its military strategic location that has been the cause of many struggles throughout the centuries.
With a mix of British, Spanish, Italians and Jews, along with many more nationalities, the population of Gibraltar has grown into a very cosmopolitan place to live, thanks to the new financial district and online gaming industry, created on reclaimed land from the sea. The historic center of the old town, with its elegant colonial architecture, and the picturesque fishing village of Catalan Bay
