Wonderful, historic, self-guided tour so you can take as much or as little time as you wanted, etc.

Great visit, the boat trip over is well worth it alone. They are a few rules to follow on the island but overall the staff are really accommodating and more than willing to take pictures etc. It is really interesting and hard to believe in someways. Well worth it
