12/10 12/10 couldn't recommend this tour highly enough. There are two tour options, both self guided. Tour 1 is €11.50, you walk through the prison, following stops 1 to 11 with some cells you enter there are people telling their story. Tour 2 is €17.50, that is the one I did, you do the self guided tour like the €11.50 one but before that you do a 20minute vr tour. I couldn't recommend it highly enough and is worth the €6 extra for sure. It takes you through three of the stages of the prison. Highly highly recommend. Will definitely be back. It was the best experience ever.
