Shore Excursion: The Original Rock and Caves Tour

Sold to cruise passengers by name. Two hours, the usual four stops, and the lowest score of the guided routes.

3.7 / 5from 77 reviews on GetYourGuideHow we score
2 hours

A two-hour Rock tour pitched at people off a ship, meeting at the terminal and returning there. It covers the same ground as the minibus tours and scores below all of them, on seventy-odd reviews.

If your ship's own excursion desk is offering something similar, this is the independent equivalent; check the ratings on both before choosing.

Where this rating comes from

The same rule we apply to hotels, applied to activities. Shown exactly as GetYourGuide reports it, never adjusted, and only where enough people have been to make it mean something.

3.7out of 5 on GetYourGuide, from 77 reviews, shown unchanged

The median rated activity in Gibraltar scores 4.7 across 13 products, so this one sits below it. Ratings here are out of five because that is GetYourGuide's scale — we do not convert them to match the ten-point Stay Score, because rescaling someone else's number is the kind of massaging this site exists to avoid.

What reviewers consistently say

Our summary of the recurring themes, written in our own words. We do not reproduce review text — see why.

  • Guides are the strength: named, funny, knowledgeable, easy to find at the terminal. That is what the five-star reviews are about, and the guide sub-score of 4.2 sits well above the overall.
  • The overall 3.7 comes from everything else. Reviewers describe an uncomfortable minibus with weak air conditioning, confusion at the pick-up point about where and when to meet, and stops of twenty minutes each, which is not long at St Michael's Cave.
  • Value for money is the lowest sub-score, at 3.5. For a two-hour minibus round of the same four sites, the walking tour and the standard minibus both rate higher and cost less.
  • Several reviews are for a different excursion entirely (a train and boat day in Mallorca), which is a marketplace listing error rather than the operator's doing, but it inflates the count.
