We just got back from a stop in Gibraltar. There is a £3 Shuttle/Taxi van that will take you from the port to Casemate square. They will not take you to the cable car. We did that and walked from the square the the bottom of the cable car. It was about 20 minutes. We were one of the 1st off the ship and walked quickly to the cable car. There wasn't a line and we had prepaid for our tickets. That is the only thing we did that went as planned.
Unfortunately after about 20 minutes at the top it started to rain. We were prepared and didn't mind at first as we walked to St. Michaels Cave from the cable car area but the weather just kept getting worse.
We heard the signage is not great and everyone was correct. Confusing, hard to see some of them and some areas non at all! Luckily we had a map and also GPS. If you walk you have to know where you are going.
We walked a great deal in the pouring rain to get to the WWII tunnels and they were closed for the day. We didn't see a single sign that indicated that. I'm sure the taxi drivers knew that.
We were ready to get a nice hike in and see all the places we wanted to see at our own speed. Even with perfect weather, I feel like we would have gotten to see a lot more with a taxi tour.
I would suggest getting off the ship and grabbing one of tours.
The Apes are everywhere so you will see them no matter where you go.
St. Michaels cave was amazing! I would definitely do that again!
