bkjewett Posted February 7 #1 Share Posted February 7 We plan to use one of the taxis at the port in Gibraltar to do a tour. Does anyone know if they will take credit cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John Bull Posted February 9 #2 Share Posted February 9 (edited) To get the correct up-to-date answer from the horse's mouth it's best to e-mail the Gib Taxi Assoc. at info@gibraltartaxiassociation.com Mention that you're on a cruise ship port-of-call Their website website https://gtagibraltartours.com/ If you use cash, everywhere on Gib. including taxis & tours accepts euros as well as UK £ and Gib £ (those two at equal value) and certainly shops, pubs, cafes etc accept Visa & Mastercard plastic. Don't rely on Amex or Diners. As elsewhere in the world, decline any offer to convert the charge to the currency of your card, keep it in local currency - your card issuer will always give you best exchange rate. There will be taxis & vans at the cruise terminal lined-up for the standard Upper Rock tour at a set price (around £50 pp ? or equiv euros incl all admission charges). Get off the ship around the front of the herd and the taxi marshal will get you into a shared vehicle and away in double-quick time. Don't leave it too late, it may be difficult for the taxi marshal to find sharers or the taxis will have deserted the cruise terminal in favour of finding trade elsewhere. And don't rely on finding a tour in town - again the problem of finding sharers. Tour takes 2 hrs+ with stops of about the right length of time for most folk. At the end of the tour you can ask to be taken back to the ship or dropped at Casemates Square, at the bottom (northern) end of Main Street. Depending on time, most (all ?) folk get out at Casemates Sq to wander the town's minor sights, shops, pubs & cafes. From there it's a 20 minute walk back to the ship. If you want a more-extensive tour, best to pre-book a taxi or van altho you can negotiate with the driver for an extended tour at the end.
