You don't have to do the tour, but as others have said, without the guided tour you won't see the court or prison. The tour is free but you have to add your name to the list, mainly for track and trace and ensure that the groups are not too big. Tour is very informative and our guide was very entertaining.
Hi. Are tours of any parts of the inside likely to resume anytime soon, or are the free tours of the outside only going to continue for the foreseeable Please?
