About this experience
This small British town is located on the Iberian Peninsula, so if you are in Cádiz it is worth planning a visit to the city.
Its strategic location at the gateway to the Mediterranean, its famous rock, its British government, its language known as llanito (a mixture of English and Spanish) and its British architecture in the heart of Andalusia, make Gibraltar a unique place.
Our vehicles cannot enter the city of Gibraltar, so your private driver will pick you up in your hotel in Cadiz and drop you off in Gibraltar border. Once in Gibraltar side, your private driver/guide will pick you up to take you on a 1.5 hours tour to Upper Rock (entrance included).
At the end of the tour, your private driver/guide will drop you off in the center of Gibraltar. You will have some free time there to walk around and to eat. Then, you can take a public bus or walk (for 20 minutes) until the border with Spain, where your driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel in Cadiz.
