Incredible the entire journey. No guide was needed, the visit is very intuitive.
Everything that has been achieved on the island thanks to the encounter of cultures and their way of organization is very interesting.

Take advantage of the guided tour. We used the tour guide for $3 pp and it was worth it. We had the chance to ask questions for clarity and hear the story behind most exhibits.

We had a private tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable. The artifacts and stories were hard to believe. It was very unsettling to understand all the atrocities that took place.
