WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
After departing the EBike Experience Store we will cycle across Gibraltar's runway and then along the cycle path through the tunnel which passes under the airfield
2.
Catalan Bay (Spanish: La Caleta) is a bay and fishing town in Gibraltar, on the Eastern side of The Rock away from Westside. It is a nice spot to take some pictures and has an interesting history.
3.
Europa Point (Spanish and Llanito: Punta de Europa or Punta Europa), is the southern most point of Gibraltar. On a clear day, views of North Africa can be seen across the Strait of Gibraltar including Ceuta and the Rif Mountains of Morocco; as well as the Bay of Gibraltar and the Spanish towns along its shores.
4.
The Pillars of Hercules, (Spanish: Columnas de Hércules) was the phrase that was applied in Antiquity to the promontories that flank the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The northern Pillar, Calpe Mons, is the Rock of Gibraltar. A corresponding North African peak, not being predominant, the identity of the southern Pillar, Abila Mons, has been disputed throughout history, with the two most likely candidates being Monte Hacho in Ceuta and Jebel Musa in Morocco.
5.
The Gibraltar Nature Reserve (formerly the Upper Rock Nature Reserve) is a protected nature reserve in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar that covers over 40% of the country's land area. It was established as the Upper Rock Nature Reserve in 1993 under the International Union for Conservation of Nature's category Ia (strict nature reserve) and was last extended in 2013. It is known for its semi-wild population of Barbary macaques, and is an important resting point for migrating birds.
6.
You will enter the vast natural cave to enjoy an immersive light and sound installation expressing layers upon layers of history fused with the Rock. These ancient clocks now lay dormant. The Awakening illuminates these sculptures of time and reawakens their hidden story. As you journey through the cave system you will encounter these giant ancient clocks brought back to life, vast hidden forms and towering flowstones that once again are in full motion. The experience culminates within the main cavern in a 360-degree projection and light spectacle.’
7.
O'Hara's Battery is an artillery battery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It is the highest point of the Rock of Gibraltar and only accessible to hikers and bikers. It offers a fantastic view over 2 continents and 3 countries
8.
Standing 340 metres directly above sea level. Gibraltar’s Skywalk offers breath-taking 360º views spanning three countries and two continents and links to other sites within the Gibraltar Nature Reserve, Upper Rock including the thrilling Windsor Suspension Bridge and the famous Apes’ Den via a series of walking trails.
9.
Perhaps Gibraltar's most important tourist attraction, the Barbary Macaques are normally found in North Africa, but their presence in Gibraltar probably dates from the early days of the British garrison when it is presumed that they were imported, inevitably finding the rough limestone cliffs and scrub vegetation a congenial habitat. In fact, many legends have grown up around them. One is that they travelled from their native Morocco via a subterranean tunnel starting at St Michael's Cave leading down underneath the Strait of Gibraltar. Another legend claims that, should the macaques ever disappear, the British will leave Gibraltar. During the last war, natural causes had diminished the macaque numbers alarmingly. Fortunately, Sir Winston Churchill took a personal interest and additional animals were imported from Morocco. Today, in addition to the pack resident at Apes’ Den, there are other packs living wild on the steep slopes of the Rock. Gibraltar does not wish to lessen ‘the monkey experience’ but experts have warned that too much human interaction is harmful to these wild animals. Primarily because we want them to remain living as they are, in a semi-wild state, we strongly advise you not to get too close, feed or touch them. Finally, because they are wild animals, they may react violently and have been known to attack and inflict serious bites. By all means take photographs but please allow the monkeys to live a natural, free life for their benefit and the enjoyment of all. Just keep a safe distance, do not shout or make sudden movements.
10.
The Great Siege Tunnels in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, also known as the Upper Galleries, are a series of tunnels inside the northern end of the Rock of Gibraltar. They were dug out from the solid limestone by the British during the Great Siege of Gibraltar at the end of the 18th century.
11.
The Moorish Castle is the name given to a medieval fortification in Gibraltar comprising various buildings, gates, and fortified walls, with the dominant features being the Tower of Homage and the Gate House. Part of the castle itself also housed the prison of Gibraltar until it was relocated in 2010
12.
Main Street is Gibraltar's main commercial and shopping district. It runs north–south through the old town which is pedestrianised and lined with buildings displaying a blend of Genoese, Portuguese, Andalusian, Moorish and British Regency styles, most of which have shops on the ground floor. Upper floors provide residential accommodation or offices. Tourists and visitors will find a wide variety of shops, many of which will be familiar from British high streets.
13.
Military heritage, Bars, Restaurants, Shopping
14.
Marina offering a varied selection of restaurants and bars as well as being the location of the five star Sunborn Yacht Hotel and the Casino. End location of the tour

Great tour with the opportunity to see most of the attractions while also getting a little exercise. This is not strenuous but does require the ability to ride a bike and be confident in traffic. Try to make the summit. The view is amazing. Guides were great. Something a little different than normal.

It is an excellent tour to see Gibraltar in a relatively short time
They are trying to accommodate everyone. We were 2 adults with 2 year toddler and they have provided us cargo bike with a seat for our child. Despite the fact that they do not have plenty families they did a good job. Cycling guide was accommodating.

It was a great trip. Note that peddle assist bikes in Europe are just that: peddle assist. They do not have a throttle like some US electric bikes. So you will be peddling your way to the top of the rock. That said, the assist really does assist A LOT, so I didn't think it was too physically challenging (although my wife, who had just come down with bronchitis, would have really preferred the throttle; oh well). Great trip. A lot of fun. I'm recommending it to my friends.

Excellent trip, excellent guide. Highly recommend this tour. I'm an avid road cyclist, and had never ridden an e-bike before. Sure glad I had one for this ride! Very enjoyable views of Gibraltar and its environs, with great contemporary and historical commentary by our guide all the way along. This was a real highlight of our month-long trip to Europe!

Our visit time was limited, and we enjoy cycling. We made the best choice by taking this e-bike tour! The owner (Stuart) and guide (Dave) are both wonderful, friendly and accommodating people. Stuart's customer service was proactive and very much appreciated when a hiccup impacted the experience. 5-star all the way. Dave took us on such a great tour! We only scratched the surface of Gibraltar (ok, we did go into caves and tunnels, so a bit below the surface!) but I think the tour was a very efficient use of time, and a lot of fun! We rode all around, and up and down the isthmus. The rich history was eye-opening, and Dave was masterful at sharing it with us along the way... always cautious of our safety, and keeping our diverse group together. Dave is a local so his perspectives are unmatched. Now, I want to go back and learn more!

Only had 8 hours in Gibraltar, and getting off our ship and onto a bus is NOT my idea of a good day so I searched for other options to get to the top of the rock. Hubby and I ride ebikes in and around our home town, but I was a bit intimidated by the elevation gain. The bike is assist only, and does NOT have a throttle, but I MADE IT, and I am so glad we did the tour. The guide was informative and a local with a wonderful attitude. I felt safe and the sites were fantastic!! I highly recommend!

My first experience on an e-bike adnd it was so fun. We had a group of 9 lead by our guide that started by going through the airport. Where else in the world can you bike over runways on a working airport? Then around the rock to see various persecptives and sights with stops for pics and history. Onward to the top to the monkey den and the awakening experience. A somewhat short stay on top due to time constraints.

You can't possibly see everything on the Rock without a rather full day, but yes I would recommend this 3 hour tour especially if you are in decent physical shape. Worked well for my cruise stop - an easy 15 minute flat terrain walk from the ship to the e-bike store. Overall quite a fun little trip and a nice weather day. Go get some exercise and enjoy!
