Pedro St James — Attraction in George Town

My family and I were very excited about the tour and the rum tasting...but wow we were not ready for the whirlwind of energy and excitement that is Trish! Trish was our tour guide and if you take anything from this review Trish is a must. She was not just an encyclopedia (that's like Google for you younger readers) of knowledge and Awesome with a capital A. She was also loads of fun, super happy to be giving us the tour and literally the best tour guide I have ever had in my 50 years on this planet!

The rum was good enough that my wife wanted a bottle of the 1780 Rum only sold at Pedro St. James National Historic Site. I was never so happy to leave a tip in my life. Thanks for the...

If history is your thing you might enjoy this stop, but I wouldn't recommend booking this combo excursion through the cruiseline. It was too overpacked for us to actually...

Pedro St. James is the oldest existing stone building in the Cayman Islands, and it's a must-visit tourist spot here. The property is a beautifully restored 18th-century plantation home, which is informative and fascinating.

At a time in the Cayman Islands when most people lived in tiny, thatch-covered houses, a wealthy Englishman, using slave labor from Jamaica, created an astonishing 3-story building called Pedro St. James.

Visitors can learn about the island's early inhabitants, the pirates, and the important role of Pedro St. James in shaping modern Caymanian society.

The architecture of the building itself is stunning, with great care taken to preserve the original features while making the site accessible and comfortable for visitors. The gardens and grounds are also beautifully maintained, providing a peaceful and serene environment for...
