1.00Fortress & Lighthouse were very neat to see, however we were lost at Fortress. It was supposed to be a GUIDED tour. Our driver, Sunny barely showed us anything, and did NOT meet expectations to show us what was promised via the tour description. Worst tour I have ever booked. Other than the first 10 minutes after we left the port, he did not speak unless spoken to, and then returned us to the port 45 minutes early- he said he’d be back to get us at 12:30 from the Fortress after leaving us & we didn’t even get to go through the main building! Then, I thought he was taking us to see the rest of what was listed on our itinerary but he simply dropped us back off at the port. I could have hired a cab driver & saved myself a lot of money!!! Utterly disappointed!!!!
