Our port stay was only a few hours so this was a good choice as the bus came to the ship and made its way through all the traffic as quickly as possible to the clock tower entrance of the old walled city. Opted for the 90 minute walking tour which was very good; usually am comfortable self-guiding but the overly persistent street vendors would have made it a challenge. Even with the tour guide speaking we were bombarded with pleas for sunglasses, hats, photos etc. Architecture and history of walled city was fascinating. Took the hour plus bus ride around the city afterwards but due to time limitations did not get off as they told us it would be at least 45 minutes for another bus. Sorry to have not seen the Fort inside. Staff was very helpful. When you return you are dropped off at the terminal gates so have a chance to walk through the bird sanctuary on the way back to the ship.
