My partner and I took the trip to Tangier from Benalmádena. It was a very long day (14 hours) and we did not see much of Tangier. It was great that we were picked up close to our hotel, but there were SO many stops for other passengers. Over five hours transportation each way but only about three hours in Tangier including an hour for lunch. Be aware that, other than lunch in Tangier, there are no stops to find food other than a sandwich on the ferry. No rest stops (bathroom breaks) on the way back. The first guide in Spain was not friendly and made the group sort through a pile of ferry tickets to find theirs. My wife ended up calling out guest names to distribute the tickets. On the Tangier side, we were repeatedly rushed through the tour by the guide, then the group was sequestered in a room for a sales pitch about beauty products for over half an hour when we could have been actually at the market we were rushed through. The operator obviously gets a kickback. The highlight for me was the food market but we only spent about three minutes walking through! We are pleased that we had a taste of Morocco/Africa, but if you feel you need to go, I'd suggest checking for other options. At the very least, bring some food, but don't drink a lot of liquids unless you have a strong bladder!

Hello, I went on a trip to Gibraltar, I bought this with Marbella Sun Trips, and I wanted to appreciate all good attention and help I received to book this. The trip itself was splendid, really enjoyed this.

Had a great day trip from benalmadena to Gibraltar with this company. The coach was clean and tidy,and the driver and guide was knowledgeable and humorous and multi lingual. Once in Gibraltar we had booked the rock tour and went into the caves and saw the monkeys. Great experience

We used Marbella Sun Trips few times and had great experience. This year we visited Granada and Alhambra Castle it was a magical experience. The bus was on time and there's great variety of pickup points locations we chose one close to our hotel. Any queries were answered quickly by Helena over email. They take care of the guide and entry tickets. We highly recommend and will use their services in the future.

Booked multiple tours with this company, including Gibraltar, Seville, Cordoba and 4x4 safari in the Sierra nevada mountains. Unfortunately, the trips are not as advertised. They ram as many passengers as they can on the coach but atleast you have a seat on the coach! Sadly no seat provided for the 4x4 tour which was outrageous! Gibraltar is advertised as 3 hours of free time but reality is you have barely 1.5hrs so hardly time to shop and explore as you need to get back to the carpark to meet the guide for the tour of the rock which takes about 1.5hrs. There was far too much waiting around and abit disorganised as the guides spent alot of time sorting the groups by language. The local guide for the tour of the rock, Alex was very good and provided detailed information. However, the main coach never stopped for a toilet break from Malaga to Gibraltar or for the return journey. Fortunately trips to Seville and Cordoba included toilet stops but the guide for Seville, Paco was quite bad tempered and shouted at the group within 5 mins of being on the bus! The guide for Cordoba was good and very informative. The reason I score this company a single star is for the lack of customer service and absolute nonchalant attitude towards passenger safety. The company is meant to be part of the hospitality sector but ironically they lack hospitality and good manners. I had emailed the team 24 hours beforehand to query if I was able to cancel due to sickness but they never had the good manners to reply. Therefore I forced myself to attend the tour. The 4x4 jeep safari tour vehicle was not fit for purpose. It is advertised as private/ group tour but again this is misleading as it gives the impression you would be part of a group with own 4x4. The price you are paying is an absolutely overpriced and unacceptable for the disgraceful way they expect you to travel. For an EU country I was completely shocked at the lack of safety. 8 people crammed into a 4x4 that only adequately seats 4. The other 4 paseengers seated on a make shift, torn, rickety seating with no proper or stable seat or anything to hold on to. Having my 72 year old father with me, I was absolutely livid at this and I rang Marbella sun trips to complain and the receptionist stated she didn't care and hung up!! I further complained to the local tour lead who was as equally nonchalant towards safety, stating they being doing these tours for 18 years. This is completely irrelevant and does not address the issue of safety or why they expect people to travel in such a pathetic way. I refused to continue the tour and the guide agreed to a full refund but refused to drop us back at our hotel, dumping us in Mijas. Absolutely abhorrent service, overpriced tours with no value for money. Horrible service, holiday ruined! Do not use this company!
