A great trip with a very helpful and friendly guide and driver. The Fort is well worth visiting with lots of beautiful scenery as well. We were also dropped off at the Nao Victoria Museum on the way back, which enabled us to fully utilise our time in port. Our guide even organised with the manager at the Museum to get us a taxi for our return to the ship - we could not have asked for more.
