A very poignant location and a reminder to us of cruel human behaviour
Visited and was very moved by the location. We had a guide who was able to give us an historical account of the House of Slaves. My only complaint was when we visited it was very very busy and some of the property has been damaged. Although it was still a very poignant visit despite the crowds of people there.

Excellent
This is a gorgeous island that tells of a devastating history. A required visit for any and all. I suspect it will only continue to improve. Our guide was surprisingly good (in that it wasn’t arranged in advance), and there is decent lunch easily available on the island.
