Attended the last day. Very interesting tour. Lots of information and all questions were answered. Not a “rush through” tour. You don’t really understand being jailed until you see how small the cells are. Would attend again for sure. Will also recommend highly to others.

It was a great tour and very informative. Our guide, Sarah, did an excellent job. The only suggestion would be to allow a little more time in each area to read the information posted on the walls and in the display cases.
