Spring køen over: billet til guidet tur til Pedro St. James Castle
Beskrivelse
Guided tours (hver time mellem 9:00 og 16:00) begynder med en multi-sensory 3D-film, der detaljerer webstedets historie, efterfulgt af et detaljeret kig på det levende museum inde i det store hus, stempelsamling, udstillinger og det omkringliggende maleriske landskab. Der er også en gavebutik og restaurant på stedet. Siden sin opførelse for mere end to århundreder siden, blev Pedro St. James brugt på forskellige måder, som en bomuldsplantage, retshus, fængsel, regeringens forsamling og restaurant, før regeringen i Caymanøerne købte ejendommen i 1996 og restaurerede den til sin 1800-tals storhed. I dag står det som et dynamisk stykke af Caymanian arv. Bedst kendt som "fødestedet for demokratiet på Caymanøerne", var Pedro St. James stedet for et møde den 5. december 1831, hvor det blev besluttet at danne øernes første valgte parlament. Senere, den 3. maj 1835, blev erklæringen om afslutning af slaveri i det britiske imperium læst fra stedet.

Rejseplan
Oplev historien og arven fra Pedro St. James kendt af lokalbefolkningen som "Pedro Castle". The Great House er den ældste overlevende stenstruktur på Caymanøerne kaldet "demokratiets fødested" og er hjemsted for mange Caymanske kulturelle og historiske fortællinger. På denne 90 minutters tur vil du udforske bygningen fra det 18. århundrede og dens artefakter, mens du absorberer skønheden i Pedro St. James, spredt ud over syv anlagte hektar med panoramaudsigt over havet. Nyd en 3D-film, der transporterer dig tilbage i tiden, eller tag en guidet tur af en lokal for en endnu mere autentisk oplevelse.

Great tour with Wilson who was very friendly and knowledgeable - we learnt a lot! The media presentation was unavailable so we received a small gift bag as compensation which contained a rum cake, decorative turtle and a booklet on St Pedro history.
I took my 85 yro mother as a cruise excursion and we were not disappointed. Tricia was an outstanding, top notch docent. As an 8th generation native her breadth of knowledge was rich with detail and was the highlight of the experience. Phenomenal job Tricia, you left quite an impression along with some truly fascinating facts - thanks kindly for shining your light today 3/9/26!
Easy entry to view the documentary and then tour the grounds and house. Tour guide was very informative and interesting.
Trisha was our guide and showed us the castle and surrounds. She told us so much about the history of the building and about the plants around it. We did the tour on the first day of our holiday and it gave us a great background to better understand the island. Highly recommend!
We had a tour stop here and I enjoyed the history of the location. The movie to bring you up to speed is nice. The view from the front lawn of the house is amazing. There are several steps up to the main part of the house. History comes alive here.
Very informative! There is a tour guide that talked you first through a scuba museum, then to watch a shirt film on the history of the property, followed by a guided tour of the historic home. Our guide was fantastic
Our guide, Tricia, embodied the warmth, generosity, and spirit of the Cayman Islands. She passionately and proudly shared the history of her heritage, which made us further appreciate the beauty of the Cayman people and their story. This is well worth doing the guided tour to experience this richness. P.S. Be sure to try the 1780 Rum, which can only be experienced here, at the Thatch & Barrel (on site).
Tricia was the most amazing tour guide! She created a personalized, informative, and fun experience for our family of 7! Ask for her, you will not be disappointed and you will walk away with a much greater appreciation for the history of this magnificent island!
Our tour guide Trisha was excellent. She was so knowledgeable with much experience being a native to the island but lived in the states for many years. Salute to her and navy seal husband. We learned a lot. The tour was great seeing 240 yrs of history
Our guide, Wilson, was so knowledgeable about the building and its history as well as the island itself. The “castle” has a fascinating history and is so well reconstructed with period furniture and objects. The movie presentation was fun. Gorgeous views of the water and a nice gift shop. Highly recommended!
