Don’t go with Viator. They don’t turn up after taking your money! We wanted for this tour at the appointment time and place but Viator did not turn up.

The driver didn’t show up. Another family and us tried to contact the driver, but the driver didn’t respond.

You passed us on to Tripshepherd. It was very disappointing. We road to the fort and back. The driver was nice, but had next to nothing to say about the area. He was too soft spoken to hear him in the back. This was my first cruise and I learned to stick with the ship excursions. I should have cancelled this excursion and started over. Also, I was supposed to get a $60 credit per person which I did not receive. This was definitely not worth $479.36.
Would get more out of a taxi ride

Just a taxi ride, no commentary and no tour of the city. The fortress is definitely worth visiting, but save yourself some money and get a taxi.
