Absolutely loved this experience. Great value, we were there just under 2 hours including a short stop in the cafe which serves good reasonably priced food. Staff were all friendly throughout the visit.

Very friendly staff throughout the visit. The headphone commentary was very good. Long enough to give you the most salient points but not too long to let your mind wander. A very interesting visit especially as we can remember the prison riots. We had lunch in the cafe. The food was very tasty, reasonably priced and the lady was very helpful and friendly. The shop is beautifully laid out.

Very interesting and informative audio tour. Prison life wasn’t easy at Peterhead. Prison officers have a hard and dangerous job to do. Would recommend a visit. Staff so lovely and helpful too
