Sack the lazy lady guide
Guild was pretty useless and did next to nothing during the trip. Impractical timing. People in coach were playing musical chairs and some were sent to the back of separated to elderly or young family members. She 1st did nothing when people complained to her. She then told everyone to sit where they were when I told her that I was going to make complaint to company. The local tour guide/ driver was excellent and really looked after everyone. I would recommend the tour but not the female guide

If I knew then what I know now!
Too many stops picking up because they stopped at almost every hotel in Malaga so it wasted a lot of time. Then crossing the border was a nightmare with ridiculous long line and only 3 machines working. The tour of “the rock” was interesting and informative. The guide had to repeat his story 4 times for different languages so that could have been avoided by booking only 1 language per bus. Had some free time for shopping but again not very organized so had to rush to eat and shop too. Overall interesting to see but spent an entire day and quite a bit for the trip itself so probably wouldn’t do it again if I know all this.

Great trip
The day was well organised. We chose the rock tour on top of the trip. We had just over an hour to explore the town ( wasn’t worth looking at to be honest) then onto a minibus for the rock tour. Driver was knowledgeable, funny and gave us lots of information. Cave tour was great and the monkeys were cute and funny. Long day but enjoyable and well worth the money.

Not worth the length of the journey for us.
We were picked up in Malaga city centre. I knew it was a long way but I think the journey was faaaar too long in comparison to what your get at the destination. The guide was fine, not informative, just got people on and off the bus. We had about 50 in our group. We had almost two hours to shop although we didn't bother buying anything - there's nothing particularly interesting about the place itself, it looks like any European street. We got on smaller buses divided by language. We had a different guide for this who was more informative. We had a few minutes at Europa Point and then went up to the cave which was free. The cave was much smaller than I'd imagined, it looks nice but takes about 5 minutes to take it in. We then went outside to see the monkeys - this was nice. We took pics of the monkeys for about 10 minutes and then we left. How long the jounrey is is not the tour provider's fault but I honestly wouldn't recommend it as the journey from the pick up points is far too long for not much reward, there's nothing particularly interesting about the place.
Response from the operator: Dear jamiedB8229TZ, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. Regarding your comments on the multiple stops on the way back, I must point out that it is specified to all agencies and official selling spots that the number of drop-off points may vary depending on the number of passengers. For this reason, the duration of the trip might also vary. We understand that the journey to Gibraltar from Málaga can be long, and while we try to make it as smooth as possible, the distance and logistics are something we cannot modify. Still, we appreciate your comments, which help us improve future experiences. Best regards,

It was a very...
It was a very informative tour. I would have liked the opportunity to see things more…our driver ( of the “van” not the large bus!)was driving so fast there was no time to take photos! The free time:shopping time was good but a little long…would have liked more time on the tour instead!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Malaga.
How much does Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Malaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Malaga is not rushed.
Is Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 588 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Malaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol?
+
Around 206 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Malaga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Malaga and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gibraltar with St Michael Caves Guided Tour from Costa del Sol start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Malaga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Malaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Malaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Malaga City Tour 2 Hours Monumental Segway Tour, Taste of Malaga Tour : Tapas, History and Local Customs, Go local for a day!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Malaga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Malaga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
