Es war eine Katastrophe. Das Personal an der Fähre war unfreundlich und die Audio-Kopfhörer waren eklatant dreckig. Nach Abgabe wurden sie nur mit einem Tuch abgewischt. Zu allem Überfluss regnete es an diesem Tag und wir mussten ewig warten, bis eine Fähre kam, um uns zurückzubringen.

We enjoyed the visit, it was interesting and the audio was informative. I thought it was a little expensive (we are a family of four) considering you explore alone and it’s so busy but would still recommend it.
