Tiring but inspiring - Our personal tour with Stephen was awesome! His professionalism, knowledge and passion for the Rock was inspiring and insightful. Understand this is a walking tour up the Rock with many stops and views along the way, not to mention the numerous monkey sightings. Our Garmin watch indicates 127 stories of stairs! After watching all the tour buses full of cruise ships passengers pass us by, we felt we had the better tour by walking and stopping. Plus we had Stephen all to ourselves! He even mentioned where to grab an early dinner afterwards (Ocean) which was fantastic! All in all, one of the better tours of our trip. Highly recommend Walk Gibraltar!

Amazing walking tour - We had an incredible experience on our private walking tour of Gibraltar. Our guide, Stephen, was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Gibraltar’s rich history and culture. We were able to see so much in just a few hours. From the iconic Rock and the stunning views over the Strait, to the monkeys at the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, St. Michael’s Cave, and even the WWII tunnels – every stop was fascinating. Our guide provided just the right amount of context and stories at each location. A walking tour with Stephen is absolutely the way to experience Gibraltar. Highly recommend – 10/10!

Up, through , around, inside? Through paths, trails, roads and out of the way places. All would be missed without Stephe - Excellent tour with plenty of facts and info shared by Stephen. Stephen is clearly passionate about his subject. A place of huge history and I felt like I was connected with it.

Beautiful panoramic walking tour - My boyfriend and I had a great time walking in the quiet paths with a breathtaking view of the sea. It was just the two of us with Stephen who was very kind and explained everything. We saw monkeys and the tunnels of the Second War. We did the most difficult “Mediterranean way” path but the views are worth it. Thank you very much again Stephen! Alessia and Simone.

Great walking tour, beautiful views, great history and tour guide - Really enjoyed this walking tour, we had done a lot of walking the day before so we were a bit nervous about managing this tour but it was manageable! We stopped in various locations to have a break and also learn more about Gibraltar and its history. Stephen was very knowledgeable and kept making sure we were ok. The views at the top are beautiful. Would highly recommend walking up with Stephen as your tour guide, he was really lovely company!

Excellent Tour! Excellent Guide! - Our Walk Gibraltar tour was amazing! It was great to have a local guide. We avoided crowds for much of our hike. Stephen gave us the choice of hiking an easier or a more difficult way. We chose the more difficult way, up the Mediterranean steps. Although it was a challenge for us, we were treated to incredible views. Stephen was really patient with the four of us because we were quite a bit slower than he was. He was full of information about the history of Gibraltar and the Rock itself. We felt like we got to see so much and learn so much, it was well worth it! We were tired at the end, but felt very accomplished! Thank you, Stephen for this excellent tour!

Walking Tour of the Rock of Gibraltar – A Truly Unforgettable Experience - My partner and I recently enjoyed a private walking tour of the Rock of Gibraltar, and it was absolutely incredible. The experience was filled with breathtaking views, fascinating history, and hidden spots that most tourists never get to see. Stephen, our guide, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic, and his storytelling brought the Rock’s rich history and natural beauty to life. One of the things we appreciated most was his flexibility—Stephen adapted the route to suit our interests and physical abilities, making the tour feel truly personalised and comfortable. We explored all the major highlights of the Upper Rock, including iconic landmarks like the Skywalk and St. Michael’s Cave, as well as quiet trails and viewpoints that offered stunning panoramas and a sense of adventure. If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to experience Gibraltar, this private tour is a must. Highly recommended – a five-star experience all around!
