Travel the fort with your well-informed host from its striking bastions and grass-covered ramparts to small cobbled streets lined with intriguing buildings.

Begin your walk from the newer and now main entrance, which you will stand upon after climbing some stone steps. Survey the inside of this remarkable fortification, and see the Indian Ocean and beyond and see the iconic cricket ground as your host regales you with historic tales of its creation and threats. Meander your way past some of the fort’s best known landmarks, but look out also for some lesser known gems. With 150 acres to explore, this tour follows a route that whets the appetite, with a comprehensive and captivating selection of facts and stories drawing from religion, history, architecture, daily life and the devastation of the 2004 Tsunami.
