Review of Malaga to Granada day trip with Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, Generalife Gardens, guided sightseeing, transport, and free time.

“Even though I have visted Granada and Alhambra 10 years ago, this was revealing and fascinating experience. My sister, first time visiting, shares same feelings about Alhambra. This is to a great extent due to Jesus, our Alhambra guide, who was absolutely fascinating and inspred as this was his first visit himself. He shared information and took good care of us in many ways, for which we are most grateful (particularly so because Alhambra was crowded with visitors). We are also very grateful to Kevin, our guide to/from Granada who contributed to good atmosphere within the group. All members of which were punctual. Many thanks! To Carmen, our driver, too.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 1,000 reviews · from $36

Review of the Málaga to Gibraltar day trip, with transport, five hours in Gibraltar, shopping, Rock access, costs, queues, and passport advice.

“Absolutely worth to buy this tour. The bus was a brand new, our guide Maria was so professional as a guide, moreover, she was so careful about our group and helpful person! Unfortunately, I was unlucky I couldn’t pass the border control because of my passport. I had to get a UK visa in advance. I didn’t knew that. By the way, if you don’t need a visa - be sure that you will like this tour, because Gibraltar such a wonderful place that is full of history!”

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 682 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $198

A long Costa del Sol day trip to Tangier with ferry views, medina walks, Moroccan lunch, shopping, Cape Spartel, and Cave of Hercules.

“This was likely the most extraordinary tour I have ever had the privilege to experience. On our bus I was in complete awe of our guide's 7 languages spoken. Amazing. Once in Tangier, Said was a captivating guide. I really was expecting to be afraid in a country so different from my own, but our guide made me feel quite the opposite. I felt safe and welcome. Sitting on a dromidary, seeing a man who can kiss a cobra, dine in a Moroccan restaurant, experience the music of the country, and visit places I had only dreamed of. It was more than I expected from any excursion. My advice would…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 567 reviews · 10 hours · from $37

Review of the Torremolinos to Gibraltar day trip, with transport tips, border advice, Rock options, costs, timing, and honest value guidance.

“The bus which picked us had long since seen better days. It looked like it had been in several close scrapes and the air-con on board could have been stronger, but it turned up on time and our guide welcoming and helpful. We decided to do a taxi-tour around Gibraltar which wasn't included, but it was well worth the extra cost. We actually saw almost all there was to see on The Rock and our driver was friendly, funny and very informative. I would recommend this taxi-tour. The bus picked us all back up at the appointed time without any issues.”

Walk the dramatic Caminito del Rey from Malaga with a guide, coach transport, historic stops, cliffside views, and a thrilling suspension bridge.

“The tour operators description is miss leading and not honest. The actual excursion is about 2 and half hours on a slow past. It takes about one hour and 10 minutes from any pick up location advertised pick to the destination. Then they spent one and half hours of going town to town pick up more people, and one hour and half for drop out. I had to sit in a bus for 3 hour total after pick up and being drop off! Look for other tours to take you to Camino Del Ray! This company fills up a big bus like a cattle! After hike tired and you sit…”
