Robert was an excellent guide, he was a true and proud Gibraltarian and this made him very passionate about everything he said, there were so many things he could say that the tour lasted even longer than the 2 hours planned. He was open to all kinds of questions and I recommend being as curious as possible with him. I was also lucky to have experienced new attractions on his tour that I think fit perfectly into a Gibraltar city center tour, I particularly enjoyed the history and the view of the Landport door. The explanation of the old Arabian port in Casamates square is also something definitely worth listening to. Overall I had a great experience and the time passed very quickly also because Robert managed to make his tour fun. Really recommended!

Great tour with Robert. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his wealth of information with us. If my stay hadn't had come to an end, I would definitely love to visit one of his other tours as well

Robert is really the best guide. He delivered the historical side of Gibraltar in a very interesting and passionate way. We were able to experience as well, as one of the person, a new part of the tour. Highly recommend! I‘ve really enjoyed the tour. Thanks again for showing us Gibraltar in a very beautiful way!
