A great Shabbos tour

Joshua made our visit to Gibraltar very smooth, as he met us on Friday, showed us around and helped us iron some details out even though we only made our tour on Shabbos. Additionally, the tour on Shabbos was very thorough and enjoyable since Joshua was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently. We had a great tour!

A day packed with history

Thank you so much for a wonderful day, Joshua. We really enjoyed seeing and learning about Gibraltar’s history, and visiting the beautiful synagogues. And of course, the Rock, the Cave, the monkeys and the perched chickens were lots of fun! Thank you again for a day packed with history, beauty, great exercise and fun! Gibraltar is an amazing place!

One of the best days ever

I hired Josh to take my family around Gibraltar on a half day walking tour to see the beautiful synagogues and places of Jewish interest. We also went up the rock by taxi to see the apes and the gorgeous sites. Must say we had one of the best days ever and can highly recommend Josh to any traveler there. His knowledge of the local history is amazing!

Worth every minute

It was an amazing experience spending the day with you in Gibraltar. Your historical knowledge of the city and its history, as well as the visit to the 4 local synagogues with the history of each, was worth every minute. You topped it off with a climb up the rock, the Cemetery, and the amazing St. Michael’s Cave. Highly recommended.
