About the Tour

Details of the Upper Rock Walking Tour
The duration of this Tour will be in the region of 3 hours and we proceed at a leisurely pace which is set by the participants as we walk up the Rock.
There will be numerous photo opportunities along the route. You will get the chance to see some stunning views and many of the historical military sites that are found in the Upper Rock.
I can take you to places that you would not usually visit if you go up by taxi or mini bus and I guarantee that you will always see some of Gibraltar’s world famous Monkeys.
The paths along the Upper Rock can be a little uneven therefore we recommend you wear suitable shoes and that you also bring along a bottle of water, because it can get quite hot in the summer months.
A Face Mask is currently required to enter St Michaels Cave and the Great Siege Tunnels so please remember to bring one.
The current price to enter the Nature Reserve and all the attractions is £13.00 and you can pay in Euro’s if you prefer.
** Please note that we do not always enter the Great Siege Tunnels, however if you would like to do so then please message me so this can be arranged. You will need to allow roughly an extra hour to visit them **.

FABIAN *****
Great tour! nice guy and sensed really well what intrested us, so oftentimes he skipped historic facts we were not intrested in to talk with us about topics from gibraltar and the uk that fitted the audiance much better.
JOHN *****
This was a fantastic and challenging walk right around the rock! Stephen made the difference,
informative, friendly, encouraging and let us walk at our own steady pace. This experience
exceeded our expectations. It is the best walking tour we have been on and we learned and saw so much. Unforgettable views. Thanks Stephen.
DES *****
Stephen was outgoing and courteous. He was very knowledgeable of the walking paths and trails.
while on the tour, he gave us the option of a longer but more scenic route, which we took.
Although advertised as a 2- hour tour, we took just over 4 hours, which made for a stellar day with tons of scenic views and photo ops. If you’re short on time in gib definitely seek out Stephen to see the essentials of the rock.
