Excellent tour! - This tour was so amazing. Stephen was very friendly, great in communication, and very accommodating as to what areas we wanted to explore to make sure we were able to do so. He was also very knowledgeable of the history of the area as well as the current state of affairs and made sure that we moved at a pace that worked for all of us. The views were spectacular! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to the area, my daughter even said this was her favorite part of our whole trip out to the area as well as Spain!

Memorable walk. - We had a nice and memorable day on 11.March in Gibraltar. The weather was perfect, and the guide we chose to have a really nice trip, Stephen Hill, made the day absolutely fantastic. The walk is called Upper Rock Walking Tour. Our goal was to reach thr Rock while learning a bit of the history of Gibraltar. And Stephan Hill delivered. After hiking up the west side, Stephan tok us down a bit and then headed up the Mediterrainien Steps with a fantastic view; can absolutely be recommended! If you ever goes to Gibraltar, we recommend to use four hours with Stephen Hill. You will not regret it.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide - My partner and I went on a day in December when it was just ourselves on the tour, so Stephen was able to accommodate everything we wanted to see around the Rock. He was very well informed and we enjoyed learning about the local history (and seeing some monkeys!) before getting back to our cruise ship in good time.

Amazing walking tour of Gibraltar - This was an amazing tour! We were there with our family and had such an awesome time. The guide was fabulous and made it really fun for the kids and made sure that the pace wasn't too fast or too slow. It was A LOT of walking, but just right for our family! It was an amazing tour and I would highly recommend it!

Great tour - Stephen's tour was really informative and was a big factor in our short visit to Gibraltar being enjoyable. The history was interestingly presented and the information about what it is like to live in Gibraltar was very informative. Stephen only takes small groups so there is plenty of opportunities to tap his knowledge. Whilst Stephen will adapt his pace to the fitness level of the group you do need to be reasonably active to get the most out of this tour. Communication prior to the tour was prompt and helpful. We recommend this tour for getting the most out of your visit to Gibraltar.

Amazing for. Amazing views. You can even see Africa on a good day. - Our guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable on the things related to the tour. He insured that we were safe around the monkeys. He explained things that were outside of the norm of the tour which were helpful for us. we highly recommend this tour. Just beware it’s a lot of steps and walking, but we enjoy that!

Upper Rock Walking Tour review - Really good tour. Stephen (our guide) was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We spent over 4 hours on the tour (but that was our choice) and saw all the main sites on the Rock. I would really recommend this if you want the visit the Upper Rock

Superb! - We had the most amazingly led tour. Stephen satisfied our curiosity of all the sites including all extras. He also had endless patience with the kids, answering their questions and explaining things to them! I would recommend this tour to anyone willing to trek and experience Gibraltars landmarks at its best!

A must. - Faultless. Our walk with Stephen was a treat from start to finish. After a rainy morning, everyone but us had cancelled on Stephen which meant my son and I got a private tour of the upper rock. And boy were we lucky. Stephen welcomed questions throughout, and did not spare any details explaining both historical events and the ins-and-outs of day-to-day life in Gibraltar. He showed us all the sights, and was really keen when we told him we wanted to attempt the climb up the Mediterranean steps. Best decision we made. The weather was on our side and we had the most magnificent views. All in all, we spent nearly four and a half hours with the most unflagging, tireless, enthusiastic, generous guide we could have hoped for. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Our visit to Gibraltar would have been incomplete without it.
