Standard Gibraltar Private Tour - 1hr 45mins

The Standard Tour consists of four stops which take approximately one and a half hours. One of the attractions of this tour is The Pillars of Hercules. There at the Pillars, you will enjoy the views of North Africa Morocco. You will see where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, this being the only entrance to the Mediterranean. You will be above Europe Point, the end point of Europe. The next site is St Michaels Cave. Which sees thousands of visitors a year wandering through its huge caverns with just a few steps and easy access. This amazing, natural phenomenon created by rainwater slowly seeping through the limesTone rock, turning into a weak carbonic acid which gradually dissolved the rock millions of years ago, this cave is the most visited of caves found inside the Rock of Gibraltar receiving almost 1,000,000 visitors a year. Next, we will go to the top of the Rock where you will see breathtaking views all around Gibraltar. Here we will have an interaction with our famous Monkeys at Upper Apes Den (The same height level as the cable) The Barbary Macaque Apes are the only ones to be found on the continent of Europe. They reside at the upper rock nature reserve of Gibraltar. At present, there are over 200 apes in 9 packs that roam through the upper rock. Legend has it that in 1942 the population of apes fell to just 7 and the Prime Minister of Great Britain (Sir Winston Churchill) ordered that the population of the apes be immediately replenished because as long as there are Barbary Macaques Apes on the Rock of Gibraltar it will remain under British rule. From Upper Apes Den we will drive to the north side of the Rock to visit the Great Siege Tunnels, something not to be missed. This site explains a lot of the history of Gibraltar under siege. The tunnels were carved out of the rock by hand during the Great Siege which took place between 1779-1783. This was done in order to defend Gibraltar against the Spanish and French forces who were trying to recapture Gibraltar from the British. On the drive down from the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, we will drive just past the outside of the Moorish Castle and the old town of Gibraltar. Finalising the Tour, if interested in visiting the rest of the town and Main Street, we can supply you with a map and a guideline of what to visit in the pedestrianized areas of town and the best way to get back to your destination.
