Hoppa över kön: biljett till Pedro St. James Castle guidad tur
Beskrivning
Guidade turer (varje timme mellan 09:00 och 16:00) börjar med en multisensorisk 3D-film som beskriver platsens historia, följt av en detaljerad titt på det levande museet inne i det stora huset, frimärkssamling, utställningar och det omgivande pittoreska landskapet. Det finns också en presentbutik och restaurang på plats. Sedan IT byggdes för mer än två århundraden sedan användes Pedro St James på en mängd olika sätt, som bomullsplantage, domstolsbyggnad, fängelse, regeringsförsamling och restaurang, innan Caymanöarnas regering köpte fastigheten 1996 och återställde den till sin 1700-talsprakt. Idag är IT ett dynamiskt arv från Caymanöarna. Pedro St James, mest känd som "demokratins födelseplats på Caymanöarna", var platsen för ett möte den 5 december 1831, där IT beslutades att bilda öns första valda parlament. Senare, den 3 maj 1835, lästes proklamationen om slaveriets slut i det brittiska imperiet från platsen.

The Great House är den äldsta bevarade stenstrukturen på Caymanöarna, kallad "demokratins födelseplats" och är hem för många Caymanska kulturella och historiska berättelser. På denna 90 minuters rundtur kommer du att utforska 1700-talsbyggnaden och dess artefakter samtidigt som du absorberar skönheten i Pedro St. James, spridd över sju anlagda tunnland med panoramautsikt över havet. Njut av en 3D-film som tar dig tillbaka i tiden eller ta en guidad tur av en lokal för en ännu mer autentisk upplevelse.

On our fourth trip to Grand Cayman, we finally toured Pedro St. James, and we are sure glad we did! Ephantus was so welcoming! The theater was super! Wilson was a fantastic tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and kind. We went on a day that wasn't too busy, and we had the theater and Wilson all to ourselves! The gift shop was FANTASTIC! I bought beautiful earrings made by a Grand Cayman artisan, along with numerous other reasonably-priced souvenirs. Every visitor curious about history should visit Pedro St. James!
I had the BEST visit to Pedro St. James with guides Marquise and Dayshaun (please excuse if I misspelled names!). I enjoyed the pre-tour history multimedia presentation and learned a lot about the island. Marquise and Dayshaun then walked me around the property and the house to connect the presentation and history to the actual building. They also made personal connections from their experiences growing up in the community and the impact of this space and building to the island. Both their knowledge of the history of the island and their personal stories made my visit very memorable and meaningful.
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!
