GIBRALTAR HOLIDAY REVIEWS
Gibraltar
Historically the most fought about piece of rock in the world, the headland on a promontory at the bottom end of the Iberian Peninsula guards the strait of Gibraltar, the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. Gibraltar is a tiny British colony with a small town and harbour on its Atlantic side, and cliffs dropping intomore

I absolutey love Gibraltar - sonia. Date of travel: Aug 2007
Being half Gibraltarian, Gibraltar is like a second home. You can not guage such a wonderful place in a day or half a day. I recommend any one who goes there firstly visits the tourist office and get a guide book. Plenty to see, and if you know (or take time to find out) where to go there is plenty to do. The Apes are really great creatures. As wild animals if treated with respect will not hurt you.
Dolphin Safari disappointment - UnhappyUK. Date of travel: Jul 2007
I just returned from a lovely holiday in Gibraltar, it is a place I have visited many times before and I have always enjoyed my time there. However this last visit was spoilt when I arranged a trip with the Dolphin Safari in Marina Bay. I had arranged my visit and given a deposit when they called me a told me that they could not take me at the time I had booked. When I could not attend at the alternative time I asked for a refund which was granted. I then sat to have a drink at a nearby restaurant when the manager of the Dolphin Safari approached me. He then proceeded to stand over me, talking aggressively until I gave him the money back. Somewhat shaken at the experience, I gave him the money, but in acting this way he has lost the custom of all of my friends of family who are also frequent visitors to Gibraltar. There are several other companies in gibraltar that offer dolphin trips, and so I recommend that anyone who is interested in seeing the doplins goes with a company that does not have a policy of bullying customers.

I Loved Gibraltar - S.L.W. Date of travel: Mar 2006
We just returned from Gibraltar and we had the most sensational adventure of a lifetime, with Miguel as our guide. We not only covered the well known sights which came alive with Miguel's amazing explanations but we also visited many places off the beaten track. If you are planning a trip to Gibraltar, do yourself a favor and contact David at travelfree@worldemail.com Tour Operator: Ben Dahan I seriously have to say it was one of the best trips I have ever taken. I took the time to see the entire Rock Plus Tangier, Morocco and Cannot decide which was the best. All I can say is that people should travel. Get over and realize that it is completely safe. Make sure you research the country well. If your time is short, go on a Private tour. It's worth it. They are very flexible and interesting. This was a fantastic trip; we went to Tangier, Fez, Marrakesh and Casablanca. I completely recommend it. Gibraltar Plus Morocco is a Country of open and friendly People. Do not be surprised if you are suddenly talking to a stranger about the country’s situation. Our guide was also the best. I also recommend trying to contact him for future trips; he knows very well the history of the country and the sights, especially Moroco history if you are interested. Gibraltar was Very Nice, and Morocco was truly amazing. The food was nothing short of delicious everytime. The people were very friendly. The country itself is just so beautiful. Our biggest regret was not spending more time there. Tour Operator: travelfree@worldemail.com

Myself, partner and 2 kids went for 1 week, we found it very enjoyable and had a great time. A boat trip out to see the dolphins was excellent, you can also get a boat over to Morroco. Nightlife during the week was dull but livened up at the weekend. Excellent dutyfree shops, all perfume much cheaper than uk, designer goods, cigs and booze dirt cheap, well worth a visit just for the shops. There's a couple of sandy beaches, not many people on them but nice. The weather was fantastic. Tour Operator: none

This was one of the ports of call on a 6 night Med educational cruise that I was on. I found Gibraltar a great place for duty free bargains and there was plenty of shops to choose from. The majority of the people were English speaking.There was a lot of English type pubs and also plenty of fish and chip shops. Tour Operator: Ocean Village

I did not like Gibraltar. I thought it was boring. It did not help that the weather was quite frankly pants!! It was exactly like England. The monkeys were horrible and stole my sons wallet and mobile from his jacket. I would not recommend it to anyone!!

I found Gibraltar to be a good experience. We only spent half a day there and that's pretty much all you need. For about 18 dollars a tour guide will take you on a tour of everything you need to see, caverns, caves, through town, to the top of the rock where you have excellant views of Spain and Morrocco and all of Gibraltar. Also at the top of the rock are monkeys everywhere supposedly brought over by King Louis. Monkeys are friendly as long as you don't try and touch them, our tour guide had them crawl up on our shoulders. Made for some funny pictures. The only bad thing about Gibraltar was the currency. They use pounds so everything is very expensive. If your anywhere in southern Spain, def. check it out and take a cheap boat ride to Morrocco while you're there, something we didn't do, but wish we had!

Gibraltar is really only one street, Main Street.There you will find tacky Duty Free, Jewellers and Electrical goods shops.Thats it. If you venture out, you will find dirty streets, derelict houses and waste grounds. Okay for a couple of hours on a day trip, but not for a long stay.We will not be returning.
