Thank you for the info! Yeah, we weren't finding too much info on Gibraltar either. I emailed one company 3 times without a response. Another company was charging an outrageous amount. So we're just keeping our options open and seeing what we can come up with. We might wait until we get there since I've heard there will be taxis waiting to give the "official" Gibraltar Rock Tour that seem to charge a reasonable amount.
We have 3 in our party and we may be interested. Right now I can't get ahold of one of us
Would this include a guided tour of the tunnels? I want to learn more about the history of them. When do you need to know?
Thanks
If you have 2 spots I am interested!
Any room for a family of FOUR????
My husband and I would be interested in joining you on the Gibraltar excursion. Do you still have room?
I could have spent a few hours exploring the caves. There are more miles of caves and tunnels in the rock than miles of roads in Gibraltar. Lots of exploring to do and see the inner workings of the rock and the history behind it beyond the 30 minutes they normally give on the tour. For the right price, I'm sure they will extend the tour times.
awesome awesome awesome, thanks for doing all this!


(I am with Missy who has already been PMing with you)
Tam.. do you have room for 4 adults... I think we might like to do this one too....
We would be interested too...2 adults 1 child
Hi everyone, I ended up talking to the guide by phone so I typed up what he verbally communicated to me: I have emailed the info below to him- so he will confirm everything I typed up is correct tomorrow
thank you for your interest in Gibraltar tours. We will be sure to make
your visit to Gibraltar an enjoyable day. We have been in business for 14years and work with Travel agents throughout Europe to ensure that our guests have a wonderful time & tour in Gibraltar.
The Extended tour option you have
requested consists of several stops. Which includes visiting Pillars of
Hercules, St. Michael’s Cave, Highest Point (I guess they are the only company or one of limited companies that has military clearance to go to this point), the Top of the Rock, the Apes, the Great Siege Tunnels and Moorish Castle. We will also drive to Europa Point. There are spectacular views at Europa Point. Weather permitting you can have views of Africa and see 2 other Countries, two Continents, the Atlantic and the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. You will be escorted at each of the stops by our qualified driver/guide. Your guide will provide you with historical narration/commentary throughout your tour. Each of the vans have A/C. The price of the tour is inclusive of all entrance fees. These tours require minimal walking since your guide/driver will drive you from each destination. You then choose how much walking you do at each stop.
Of course the plans might need to change dependent on traffic and delay at each stop (and these plans can be customized to each van), below are the recommended/approximate/estimated time at each of the destinations:
I didn't get all of these perfect-- my little twins started going nuts- and I missed writing down some of the times-- but all together we will get 3- 3.5hrs to spend on tour and if we want an hour in the tunnel- we need to be quicker taking pics somewhere, etc )
Pillars of Hercules 10 minutes
St. Michael's Cave: 25 minutes
Highest Point ? minutes
100 ton gun XX minutes (I forgot to clarify if we go here- he should let me know tomorrow- but I think this is the same place as where highest point is)
the Top of the Rock with Barbary Apes 15 minutes
the Great Siege Tunnels 30 minutes
Moorish Castle 15 minutes
Lighthouse & Europa Point 15 minutes
Gibraltar a City Under Seige Exhibition XX minutes http://www.gibraltar.gi/tourism/?language=en&category=1&item=7
The tour will begin at the port where Disney cruiseline will dock. You will meet us at XXXX location on May 25th @ 8:15am (he still needs to provide this info tomorrow to me)
At the conclusion of the tour you will be dropped off at XXX location (I think each van can be dropped off at a choice of 2 destination—either downtown or the port, when you confirm with me you want to go- let me know where you think you might want to be dropped off- I think they will be flexible- just probably not want to drop off 8 people 8 different places )
Cost: $30Sterling Pounds/pp ** this is different – I thought it was Euros- I think it increases cost by $3 US he would like payment in SP or E, but I wasn’t clear if he would refuse US or conversion rate would just not be as optimal- he can clarify this as well in my email tomorrow)
Tour Duration: 3-3.5 hours

Finally.... he said for those that want extended times in some places & want to shorten the trip or eliminate some stops- he said this can easily be done as long as all in the van agree- and you only need to work with the 8 in your van-- the vans do not have to stay together- so you can customize the 3 to 3.5hr tour to meet your desires--
Please let me know if you want any additional information and if you definitely want to come along. He said he has no maximum #, we just need to let him know how many & he will get us taken care of!
