Interesting history with great views - Great tour with an informative audio guide, pickup was on time. There were no other tourists in the fort and it was nice and quiet, it’s a very well preserved and impressive structure with beautiful mountains in the background. I highly recommend this tour!

Awful company with zero customer service! - I booked two back to back trips with this company. After booking 2 days later got an email from them saying the 'port' was closed and asked me if I wanted to still take it or cancel. After a couple of email exchanges and still not clear what options I had, on the my first tour I asked the driver to help me and clarify. He connected me to the office and we agreed to cancel the tour as it was not the 'port' but the 'fort' which was the main attraction that was closed, the lady on the phone confirmed and agreed to refund. Long and behold the driver then arrives at the hotel for pick up. I told him it was cancelled and he went away. No surprise that my refund was never processed and all emails were ignored.
