Three versions

With the Rock tour, the listing gives an hour and a half by minibus through the Nature Reserve, with a stop at Europa Point, St Michael's Cave and the macaques. With dolphins, there is a boat trip of an hour and a half and the Rock tour is not part of it. Self-guided gives you five hours in town.

Documents and the border

The Gibraltar border agency says a visa may be needed to visit the territory. Its website has a checker by passport country, and its home page shows the border queue in real time. The listing adds that having the paperwork in order is the responsibility of the person who books.

Free time and the return

The guided versions include free time, but at different points of the day. Departure is at Muelle de Heredia 2, in Málaga, and the listing warns that the time shown on the site is approximate: the exact time comes in the booking voucher. The day lasts about 9 hours, and 9 to 11 on the self-guided version.
